India vs England: Jasprit Bumrah Bowls Full Tilt, But India Coach Underlines Workload Of Another Star Pacer
Jasprit Bumrah looked all set for a return to action as India's pace spearhead had an extensive net session ahead of the Lord's Test, bowling for roughly 45 minutes before switching focus to his batting against left-arm spin and throwdowns. Captain Shubman Gill had made it clear at Edgbaston that Bumrah will be back in action after missing the second Test due to workload management. In the team's first session ahead of the third Test, Bumrah seemed to be good spirits, constantly chatting with fellow teammates and at times with the travelling Indian media. In all likelihood, Prasidh Krishna will make way for Bumrah in the playing XI. Bumrah gradually bowled full tilt in the session but someone who worked even harder was left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, who ran in for close to an hour. With the pitch expected to post a tougher challenge to the batters, it remains to be seen if India stick to the same XI of Edgbaston that included two spinners and three pacers with Nitish Reddy being the fourth pace option. Among the players who were not part of the session were Gill, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj. Having played the first two games, Siraj has bowled the most number of overs among Indian pacers. Though he always gives his 100 per cent on the field, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said his workload will be managed at some point. "The workload management is not only for Bumrah. Every bowler's fitness, every bowler's issues are different. But, I think, there is enough rest in between. After this match, there is a turnaround (long gap). But, Siraj is someone who bowls a lot. 'So, his workload management depends on how much load he is with red ball before coming into the series. So, obviously, the bowling coach and our SNC will keep a track on that,' said Kotak. Among the batters, Karun Nair, who is yet to fire in the series, and Sai Sudharsan, batted for long.

Jasprit Bumrah Set To Return For 3rd Test After Extensive Session At India Nets
Last Updated: Jasprit Bumrah is set to return for the Lord's Test after missing the second match. He had an extensive net session, bowling for 45 minutes. Jasprit Bumrah appeared ready for a return to action as India's pace spearhead had an extensive net session ahead of the Lord's Test, bowling for approximately 45 minutes before focusing on his batting against left-arm spin and throwdowns. Captain Shubman Gill had confirmed at Edgbaston that Bumrah would return after missing the second Test due to workload management. In the team's first session ahead of the third Test, Bumrah seemed in good spirits, chatting frequently with teammates and occasionally with the travelling Indian media. It is highly likely that Prasidh Krishna will make way for Bumrah in the playing XI. Bumrah gradually bowled at full intensity during the session, but left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh worked even harder, running in for nearly an hour. With the pitch expected to present a tougher challenge for batters, it remains to be seen if India will stick to the same XI from Edgbaston, which included two spinners and three pacers, with Nitish Reddy as the fourth pace option. Who Did Not Train At Lord's? Among the players absent from the session were Gill, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Akash Deep, and Mohammed Siraj.

Danum Valley puts Sabah on world map as conservation hub
The Danum Valley Conservation Area. KOTA KINABALU (June 19): The legacy of the Danum Valley Conservation Area (DVCA) extends beyond wildlife protection and environmental conservation – it has played a significant role in elevating Malaysia, particularly Sabah (through Yayasan Sabah), as a respected global leader in conservation. Today, DVCA is undeniably a world-renowned hub for research and eco-tourism. The Danum Valley Studies Centre (DVSC) has grown into an internationally recognised tropical rainforest research station, on par with institutions such as Barro Colorado Island in Panama and La Selva in Costa Rica. One of DVCA's most notable achievements since its establishment 40 years ago is the creation of one of the region's most active environmental education programmes, alongside fostering international collaboration and facilitating ongoing technology transfer between developed and developing nations. Ultimately, Danum Valley has emerged as a world-class, multi-functional example of tropical forest conservation, scientific research, environmental education and sustainable management. The vast body of scientific knowledge generated through research at Danum Valley continues to contribute meaningfully to global understanding of rainforest ecology, conservation, restoration and human-environment interactions. Key contributors to Danum Valley's success include Yayasan Sabah, the Danum Valley Management Committee (DVMC), and their long-standing partnership with the UK's Royal Society. According to Yayasan Sabah, the environmental education initiatives at Danum Valley have been varied, multi-tiered, and highly impactful. Thousands of Malaysian schoolchildren have had their first rainforest experience through the Sabah Nature Club (SNC), established on Oct 7, 1988, and launched by the then Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Panglima Joseph Pairin Kitingan. SNC is supported by Yayasan Sabah, with Danum serving as one of its core activity centres. The presence of Danum Valley's globally recognised research programme has also indirectly inspired numerous pioneering and collaborative forest management and restoration projects. From Vision to Reality The story of DVCA began in 1980 when the Board of Trustees of Yayasan Sabah made the visionary decision to manage 438 sq km of concession land in Ulu Segama, Lahad Datu, specifically for wildlife conservation, education and research. The area was not designated as a park due to concerns that transferring it out of Yayasan Sabah's control might eventually result in logging by other parties. Retaining the status quo was seen as a more secure option for long-term preservation. At that time, the remote upper reaches of the Segama River, where DVCA is located, were likely uninhabited or only rarely so. DVCA encompasses a significant portion of the upper Segama catchment, with elevations ranging from 150 to 1,000 metres above sea level. Danum Valley is home to more than 121 species of mammals, including 10 species of primates. Among the extremely rare animals found here are the Borneon Pygmy elephant, Borneon Banteng and Sun Bear. Scientific expeditions and wildlife surveys carried out at DVCA have contributed to these finding and also documented at least 338 species of birds, over 70 species of fishes. According to Yayasan Sabah, Danum Valley, along with the Maliau Basin, was gazetted as a conservation area under the Foundation's long-term Forest Management Plan. It remains unlogged in perpetuity for the purposes of conservation, education and research. On 16 May 1995, DVCA was formally recognised as a Class 1 Protection Forest under the Forest Enactment 1968. In 1996, the Forest (Danum Valley Conservation Area) Rules 1996 were gazetted, formally establishing the Danum Valley Management Committee (DVMC) with specific authority over research matters in the DVCA. A Global Research Hub Preparations for research at Danum began in 1982, when DVMC was established as an interdepartmental committee under the state government to develop an international collaborative research programme at the then-proposed Danum Valley Field Centre (now known as Danun Valley Studies Centre). This effort culminated in the signing of the Danum Valley Rainforest Research and Training Programme Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in 1984. The MoU was signed by Yayasan Sabah, the Sabah Forestry Department and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Sabah Campus). A supplementary MoU was also signed with the Royal Society of the United Kingdom. DVFC officially opened in 1986 as a facility dedicated to scientific research and environmental education. As early as 1987, the Sabah Nature Club organised its first Nature Orientation Course at the field centre, involving 23 students and two teachers from various schools across Sabah. Since then, a total of 82 series of course have been conducted, engaging more than 1,600 students and 300 teachers statewide. Today, the Sabah Nature Club has grown to become Malaysia's largest environmental education provider, with an impressive accumulated membership of 45,552. According to Yayasan Sabah, more than 800 research articles have been completed, and over 200 postgraduates have been awarded, with approximately 50% earned by Malaysians and 40% overseas. Ongoing strategies to attract world-class research to Danum include continued investment in long-term research infrastructure, the promotion of Danum as a regional research coordination centre, and the facilitation of university field courses. Danum Valley Studies Centre is also widely used by school groups, nature clubs and non-governmental organisations – including professional bodies – for educational purposes. A Unique Field Experience To support field research within the DVCA, an extensive network of trails and a 2 km² research grid, with intersecting trails every 500 metres, was developed. This research grid system is named in honour of the late Dr Clive Marsh (1951–2000), one of the founders of the Danum Valley Conservation Area. He served as the first secretary of the DVMC and senior manager of Yayasan Sabah's Conservation Division. Few sites in the tropics offer such accessible, well-managed tropical forest areas as Danum Valley. The Danum Valley Field Centre features laboratories, a library, a conference room, a dining hall, and a variety of accommodation options, ranging from permanent camping sites to self-contained chalets. On 16 September 2012, Prince William and Catherine Middleton visited Danum Valley, spending three hours touring the DVCA. During the visit, they even sat on tree branches to observe ants and other canopy-dwelling creatures.
