Axar is not part of the 15-member Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2022 to be played in the UAE from August 27. The spin-bowling all-rounder is, however, part of the three reserves named for the tournament and could be in the selectors’ scheme of things for the T20 World Cup later this year. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra reflected on the spinners who could make the Indian squad for the World Cup....

The selectors picked a 15-member Indian squad for the global T20 tournament on Monday, September 12. Ashwin is one of three spinners selected, with Axar Patel and Yuzvendra Chahal being the other two.

When selecting a roster for a tournament like this, where you are trying to qualify to the World Cup, you are putting together a best 11 and then players who can play multiple positions....

If it becomes law, provisions of the TPA would grant Taipei up to $6.5 billion in foreign military financing for the procurement of weapons from the United States, one of the only countries that sell arms to Taiwan, given the island’s lack of formal recognition by Western capitals....

Now it appears the decision has been vindicated, at least financially, for the developer and the games long suffering publisher Take-Two Interactive. Speaking during an earnings call, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick declared that, despite poor reception from gamers and critics, the game was projected to achieve a profit for company. As we reported back in July, sales figures from the NPD group show that Duke Nukem Forever was the second highest selling game in June, further underlining Take-Two’s confidence in the title to generate a profit....

In March 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued guidance clarifying that there was no clear scientific evidence linking NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, with worse COVID-19 outcomes. “Since NSAIDs are used to treat the symptoms of headache, muscle achiness, stuffy sinuses, and cold and flu symptoms that occur as part of COVID-19, the fear early on kept people from taking medications that could help relieve their suffering,” William W....

Entitled Blair/Gina, based on the two main characters played by Parker Posey and Jillian Bell, it deals with events immediately following the onset of the zombie apocalypse.

Kane’s hamstring injury should not see him miss the European Championship, but it has handed plenty of England hopefuls the chance to prove their worth. And it seems as though this season, the Premier League belongs to homegrown forwards. Jamie Vardy – who has retired from international duty – leads the way with 17 goals, ahead of three players sharing second place in the scoring charts with 14: Danny Ings, Marcus Rashford and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang....

Thursday, three-game suspensions were given to star wide receiver Antonio Brown, safety Mike Edwards and former Bucs wide receiver John Franklin III who was cut in training camp and is currently a free agent. “It is what it is,” Arians said after the team’s practice Friday. “We’ve done everything. I mean, everything. There’s a lot more to that story. I just hope they don’t stop looking.” Arians said his team has done just as good of a job as any other team in the league of managing any COVID cases they have encountered, and said other teams in the league could have the same problem on their rosters and it just hasn’t become public yet....

Speaking with the Russian government-owned RT.com news website, Assad claimed that he and his Iranian and Russian allies were fighting against terrorist groups, with which the U.S. and its Western partners are working to destabilize the region. Assad has retained power despite almost eight years of brutal civil war, sparked in 2011 by his government’s violent crackdown on protesters demanding democratic reforms.

The Cowboys receiver got a special letter from T. Boone Pickens. The businessman knows what it’s like to be on the receiving end of a bad call, at least that what he says. Pickens was obviously referring to the game against the Packers, when Bryant had a catch that wasn’t really a catch. Bryant got advice that Pickens thinks should get the Cowboys to the Super Bowl next year; keep Tony Romo healthy and retain DeMarco Murray....
