Hasan Murad replaces Shakib Al Hasan for Test against South Africa
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has announced uncapped left-arm spinner Hasan Murad as a replacement for veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan in the squad for the first Test against South Africa. Hasan Murad, 23, has been in impressive form in domestic cricket, claiming 136 wickets in just 30 first-class matches since his debut in 2021. The decision to include him comes after Shakib made himself unavailable for the Test, citing security concerns. However, Hasan Murad has performed consistently in first-class cricket and has been part of our system. The BCB reportedly urged Shakib to cancel his Dhaka-bound flight and return to the USA instead, further complicating his involvement in the Test series.

India PM Modi returning to Russia for BRICS summit
NEW DELHI, Oct 18, 2024 (AFP) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend this month's BRICS summit in Russia, New Delhi said Friday, weeks after his friendly hug with President Vladimir Putin drew condemnation from Ukraine. India's foreign ministry said Modi would be in Russia on October 22 and 23 for the summit, held in the city of Kazan along the Volga river. The Ukraine war has forced India to look for other sources for arms instead of Russia, traditionally its biggest provider. The BRICS group takes its name from the initial letters of the five members who joined in 2009 -- Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Yury Ushakov, Russian President Vladimir Putin's foreign policy aide, said this month that leaders of 24 countries would be attending the summit.

US charges Indian agent over alleged plot to kill Sikh separatist
WASHINGTON, Oct 18, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - An Indian intelligence official has been indicted for his role in a foiled plot to kill a Sikh separatist leader in the United States, the Justice Department said Thursday. Yadav is the second Indian national to be charged in the United States in the alleged plot to kill Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US and Canadian citizen who lives in New York. Nikhil Gupta, 53, pleaded not guilty in June to involvement in the assassination plot after being extradited to the United States from the Czech Republic. Pannun, in a statement on X, denounced the alleged assassination plot as a "blatant case of India's transnational terrorism" and a "threat to freedom of speech and democracy." Unlike the United States, Canada has highlighted its concerns publicly and at the highest level, with Trudeau criticizing India's actions.
