IND vs ENG, 2nd Test: Under grey skies, Akash Deep shines bright
India's Akash Deep celebrates the dismissal of England's Ollie Pope on day five of the second cricket test match between England and India at Edgbaston in Birmingham, England, Sunday, July 6, 2025. (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) Birmingham: Akash Deep tends to get excited at the prospect of representing the country and playing on the biggest stage, getting to run in and bowl at venues he has only heard of in stories while growing up. Last Sept, ahead of a Test match against Bangladesh, he said he was thrilled to be playing a match at Green Park in Kanpur, since it was the first stadium he had ever heard of. Similarly, he had pre-conceived notions about traditional bowling conditions here in England. 'I'd imagined that I'd get conditions where the ball swings and seams,' Akash had said after his four-wicket haul in the first innings here at Edgbaston. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Hailing from a small town in Bihar , Akash Deep sure has come a long way. On Sunday, when proceedings began after lunch on Day 5, the announcer at the ground mentioned Akash by name. Immediately, the Indian fans — who comfortably outnumbered the England supporters — started chanting his name wildly. After his match-winning 10-wicket haul in the second Test, the humble, small-town boy is the toast of Indian cricket at one of the most celebrated venues in the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Honda SP125: Now with More Power & Style Honda Learn More Undo Perhaps Akash Deep's humility is what helps him stay flexible and be effective in varied conditions. 'The coaches have always encouraged me. They tell me that even I don't realise the things I am capable of,' Akash said. 'Any attack of ours can take 20 wickets anywhere': Shubman Gill hails Mohd Siraj, Akash Deep after historic Edgbaston win When he found out that conditions in England this summer didn't exactly resemble the stories, Akash Deep immediately decided to stick to his natural lines and lengths. He has enough miles in his legs at the domestic level and that showed as he ran in tirelessly, seamlessly, in both innings here. 'I trusted my experience and stuck to the line and lengths that I bowled in India. On these kinds of pitches, you need to be disciplined.,' Akash said. He consistently out-bowled everyone on this relatively docile Edgbaston track and kept coming at the batters. It's remarkable considering he was off-colour in the IPL following a side injury and subsequently carried a niggle while travelling with the India 'A' team preceding this Test series. 'Akash is an attacking bowler who asks questions by bowling at the stumps a lot. That's one of the golden rules here in England. Coming back from injury and seeing him running in and bowling at a high pace is a a nice sign for us,' India's bowling coach Morne Morkel said after Akash Deep produced a dream spell to get rid of the in-form Ben Duckett and Joe Root late on the fourth day on Saturday. Not surprisingly, he got the ball rolling immediately on the final morning by knocking over Ollie Pope , followed by trapping Harry Brook in front of the stumps with balls that jagged back remarkably off the seam. For now, Akash Deep is on a roll. India will be hoping for more such performances from him in this series.

Inquiry report exposes irregularities in Nemom Service Cooperative Bank
Thiruvananthapuram : An inquiry into the irregularities surrounding Nemom Service Cooperative Bank, held as per Section 65 of Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, revealed fraud committed by members of the society's administrative panel. The report states that the bank received investments worth Rs 112 crore and Rs 52 crore were given as loans. Most of these loans were benefited by the accused and also by people close to them. However, not even a single penny was repaid, the report said. As per report, former secretary Balachandran Nair's wife P K Sreekala took loans worth Rs 10 lakh. A R Rajendran, who is also a former secretary, along with his wife Sreejakumari, children and son-in-law, also took loans worth lakhs of rupees. Some of the accused took loans up to Rs 25 lakh from the bank by pledging properties. However, they soon got the documents released with the help of the then secretaries. The existing liabilities of the loans at the bank were not marked in the encumbrance certificates even as the accused took loans using the same documents from other banks. Agricultural loans were provided only to the accused, their relatives and party members. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Honda SP125: Now with More Power & Style Honda Learn More Undo They took agricultural loans of Rs 10 lakh from the bank at 4% interest and deposited the money for 9.5% interest in the bank itself. They collected the interest on the deposit but did not repay the interest or the loan amount. Even the elections of panel members did not comply with the rules, the report said. No general body meeting was held at the bank since 2018, the report added. Using the documents of properties of people who took loans from the bank, the accused took other loans without their knowledge. The consent of the joint registrar is required to appoint people on a contract basis at the society. But the accused appointed their kith and kin at various positions at higher salaries and the bank incurred a loss of Rs 14.21 lakh because of this. The fixed deposit (FD) receipts have to be certified by the secretary, but here even retired staff were found to have certified FD receipts. "The report reveals grave irregularities, and the accused must be brought before the law at any cost. Measures must be taken to provide money back to the depositors," said Santhivila Mujeeb Rahman, patron of the depositors' forum. There are as many as six accused in the case. Former secretary of the bank S Balachandran Nair and former president R Pradeep Kumar were arrested earlier. The third and fourth accused former secretary A R Rajendran and cashier Vasanth along with two other board members are still absconding and the search has been intensified for them," said the probe team.

Stalled for years, JPNIC given to LDA for completion & operation
Lucknow: The state cabinet on Thursday approved the proposal to transfer the Jaya Prakash Narayan International Centre (JPNIC) to the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) for its completion, operation, and maintenance. As per the new decision, the JPNIC Society formed under the previous Samajwadi Party govt, will be dissolved. Under JPNIC Society, the project remained stalled for years amid allegations of corruption. The cabinet approved handing over the incomplete centre to LDA, which will now take charge of completing the remaining construction and running the facility through private participation. The LDA has been authorised to manage the project using revenue-sharing or lease models under a Request for Proposal (RFP) process, ensuring transparent and financially sustainable operations. "The Rs 821.7 crore released for the project so far was converted into a transferred loan to be repaid over 30 years," said a senior official in the govt following the decision. Initiated in 2013, the JPNIC project aimed at creating a world-class convention and sports centre in the city. However, alleged irregularities—highlighted in a CAG report—such as awarding contracts without tenders and inflated costs, brought the project to a standstill. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Honda SP125: Now with More Power & Style Honda Learn More Undo After assuming office in 2017, the govt launched an investigation and halted the work. Now restructured under LDA's supervision, the centre is planned to house a state-level auditorium, a modern convention centre, a world-class sports complex with multipurpose courts, and a multi-level parking facility for 750 vehicles. "It will be developed along the lines of the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, another key public facility in the city," said the official. An LDA official said that the decision is expected to convert the incomplete and controversial project into a cultural and recreational hub, benefiting the people of the city and Uttar Pradesh. "With a focus on transparency, efficiency, and public utility, the move marks a turnaround in a project that remained inactive for nearly eight years," he added.

Telangana high court junks pleas by colleges seeking extra computer science engineering seats
Hyderabad: The Telangana high court on Thursday dismissed a batch of appeals filed by the Malla Reddy group of engineering colleges, which had sought state approval for additional intake in computer science engineering courses. The colleges argued that they had received requisite approvals from the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU), and therefore the state should permit them to fill the additional seats. However, advocate general A Sudarshan Reddy, representing the state, contended that the govt has a responsibility to ensure that educational growth remains balanced, proportionate, and based on local needs. Previously, a single judge had dismissed the pleas. Challenging that decision, the colleges filed appeals.

The appellants contended that additional seats had been granted to other institutions and alleged discrimination against Malla Reddy colleges due to political reasons. The bench, however, rejected these claims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Honda SP125: Now with More Power & Style Honda Learn More Undo Arguing on behalf of the technical education department and the higher education council, the AG clarified that the state had considered all relevant factors, including regional demand. He said that all the appellant colleges are located in Kandlakoya area, which has already reached saturation in terms of engineering seats. Therefore, no additional intake was permitted. He further pointed out that the college cited by the appellants as having received an additional intake of 60 seats is located outside the Kandlakoya region, and hence, not comparable. Agreeing with the state's arguments, the bench held that the decision-making process was neither illegal nor irrational. Consequently, all the appeals filed by the colleges were dismissed.
