Fully owned and operated by Beyon, the new system will be developed in partnership with SubCom, the global subsea cable provider currently delivering Beyon's Al Khaleej cable system. The signing ceremony and announcement took place during the official visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to the United States of America. This strategic extension will position Bahrain as a strategic digital hub connecting the region to the world through the latest submarine cable system, SEA-ME-WE 6, a 21,700-kilometer high-capacity system linking Bahrain with 14 other countries across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. Khaleej North will further enhance the Kingdom's capability in data traffic and sovereignty, global communication, digital resilience, and cybersecurity.

India U19 held to draw by England U19 in first Youth Test
The India Under 19 team was held to a tense draw after England Under 19 captain Hamza Shaikh led from the front with a fighting century on the fourth and final day of the first Youth Test here. Chasing a stiff target of 350, England ended on 270/7 in 63 overs, frustrating the visitors' push for a win that would have given them a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Shaikh was the mainstay of England's resistance, scoring a composed 112 off 140 balls with 11 fours and two sixes here on Tuesday. He received crucial support from Ben Mayes, who struck a steady 51 off 82 balls (3x4s), and wicketkeeper-batter Thomas Rew, who chipped in with a brisk 50 off just 35 balls (8x4s). India had threatened to force a result when they reduced England to 62/3 in the 14th over but the hosts fought back through Shaikh's partnerships with Mayes and Rew. With an hour left on the final day, India gave themselves hope by pulling off two run outs in successive overs -- first removing Shaikh and then sending back Ekansh Singh in the next over. But Ralphie Albert (9 not out of 37 balls) and Jack Home (7 not out off 36 balls) showed commendable composure under immense pressure as India threw everything at them with an all-out attacking field. Close-in fielders crowded the batters with two slips, a silly point, and a short leg forming a tight cordon, but the English pair held their nerves to survive the final overs and secure a hard-fought draw for the hosts. Earlier, India U-19 resumed their second innings on 128 for three and posted 248 in 57.4 overs, setting England a daunting target. Vihaan Malhotra top-scored with a gritty 63 off 85 balls, hitting 10 fours. He and overnight partner Abhigyan Kundu looked settled before Alex Green (2/67) struck twice in quick succession, removing both while Rahul Kumar (11) also got out cheaply as India slipped from 171/3 to 187/6. With the visitors in danger of a collapse, RS Ambrish played a crucial knock of 53 off 71 balls, adding valuable runs with the tail. He was the last man to depart, run out as India folded for 248. India U19, led by Ayush Mhatre, had earlier claimed the five-match Youth ODI series 3-2. Brief scores: India U-19 540 & 248 in 57.4 overs. England U-19 439 & 270/7 in 63 overs (Hamza Shaikh 112, Ben Mayes 51, Thomas Rew 50; RS Ambrish 2/48). Match drawn.
