India's first mixed disability cricket team plays at Lord's; Svayam's Sminu Jindal invited by ECB to speak on inclusion
New Delhi [India], June 27 (ANI): India's mixed disability cricket team made history this week as they took the field at Lord's for the very first time. The match, part of an ongoing series against a side that's been playing mixed disability cricket for nearly eight years, marks India's official entry into this format on the global stage. According to a release, Sminu Jindal, Founder-Chairperson of Svayam, was invited by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to speak at the venue. Representing India in front of officials from seven cricket boards, she called for stronger efforts towards inclusive sports planning, not just in terms of access, but also in terms of opportunity and visibility. 'The fact that this is happening at Lord's is not incidental; it's symbolic. This ground has seen cricket's most defining moments. Today, it sees inclusion,' said Jindal, as quoted by the Svayam press release. Svayam's association with DCCI in sports began in 2021 and spans multiple events and has expanded steadily, from the Tokyo Paralympics, PD Championship, to national events like the Khelo India Para Games. The event is the result of years of groundwork by the Disability Cricket Council of India (DCCI), which has worked to bring together players with physical, intellectual, and hearing impairments. The team's appearance at Lord's is being viewed as a major breakthrough for mixed disability cricket in India, a format that has yet to receive mainstream recognition but holds immense potential. With the Indian men's cricket team also touring England at the moment, both squads are representing the country in different formats and in different conversations. One aims for a series win, the other pushes for inclusion. Together, they broaden the idea of what it means to represent India on the global stage. During her speech, Jindal also announced that Svayam will host India's first National Summit on Accessible Sports and Tourism this November. The summit will bring together voices from policy, sport, hospitality, and disability rights to develop a shared action plan, especially as India prepares its bids for the 2030 Commonwealth Games and 2036 Olympics, the release added.

Beshear, Khanna to headline Dem mayor summit in July
Two potential 2028 Democratic presidential primary candidates will descend on Cleveland in July to headline a rub elbows with the party's top mayors — auditioning for another group of key surrogates in the unfolding shadow primary. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and California Rep. Ro Khanna will join Democratic Mayoral Association President and Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb for a national gathering of Democratic mayors alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin, former Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brownand current Ohio Rep. Shontel Brown. Details were shared first with POLITICO. 'The summit will showcase our cities, the work mayors are doing to hold [President Donald] Trump accountable, deliver results, and demonstrate that government can work for the people,' said a person familiar with the planning and granted anonymity to discuss an event that was still being finalized. The theme of the summit is 'Community Over Chaos: A Path Forward.' 'I am excited to welcome my fellow Democratic mayors, special guests, and Democratic partners to my hometown of Cleveland for DMA's National Summit later this summer,' Bibb told POLITICO. 'This year's summit will be a showcase of our cities and how government at the local level still works for the people. Despite chaos in Washington, mayors continue to find solutions and deliver results each day. I can't wait for everyone to see what Democratic mayors — and Cleveland — are all about.' The event is in line with Bibb's vision for the association playing a more aggressive and vocal role than in years past, and this will mark the first year that DMA's national summit will be open to the public and press. But it also comes at a fraught time for Democratic mayors, particularly those of big cities, who have found themselves targeted by the Trump administration. Both Beshear and Khanna have been making early moves that are aimed at a presidential run. Beshear has hired a former spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign and started a podcast this spring. Khanna has been on a nonstop tour of media hits and party events. But Ohio, once a swing state, has drifted even further away from Democrats in recent years. Brown, a longtime Senator who clung to his seat even as it reddened due to his ties to working-class voters, got booted last cycle. President Donald Trump won the state by 11 percentage points.
