Ishant dropped; Samson, Karn Sharma named in 17-member squad for ODIs, T20

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar New Delhi: Reposing faith in youth with an unequivocal eye on the upcoming World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, the the Board of Control for India’s (BCCI) Selection Committee on Tuesday picked Kerala wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson and Railways leg-spin-bowling allrounder Karn Sharma in the 17-member limited-overs squad set to take on England in five ODIs and one T20 international later this month.

As expected, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami, all of whom were rested in the inconsequential Bangladesh series, have been recalled.
Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane and Mohit Sharma, who were part of the three-ODI series in Bangladesh, have retained their places as well. However, Ishnat Sharma, who bowled India to historic Test win in Lord’s recently, failed to make it to the limited overs’ squad.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Umesh Yadav, and Dhawal Kulkarni will shoulder the pace responsibilities for the side, while Varun Aaron, who is currently touring with the Test side but is yet to get a game, has been ignored.
Naman Ojha, who is with the Test side as a reserve wicketkeeper in wake of Wriddhiman Saha’s injury, has also been overlooked for shorter version of the game. Samson, who also doubles up as a keeper, will be on standby in case of an injury to the Indian skipper.
Squad: Ms Dhoni (capt & wk), Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Stuart Binny, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Umesh Yadav, Dhawal Kulkarni, Sanju Samson (wk), Karn Sharma

India’s tour of England: WC 2015 in mind, selectors to pick team for ODIs, T20 today

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar New Delhi: With little more than six months to go before India starts its World Cup defence, the Board of Control for India’s (BCCI) Selection Committee will meet on Tuesday to pick squad for the limited overs leg of ongoing India’s tour of England.
M S Dhoni’s men are scheduled to play five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and a sole T20 International in England after wrapping up the five-Test series. The limited overs leg starts August 5.

While Dhoni, Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Mohammad Shami were all rested for the recent three-match series in Bangladesh, all of them are expected to be recalled for the ODIs in England.
The focus, however, would be on fresh selections that the board may be inclined to make. While Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane and Mohit Sharma are expected to retain their places, names like Robin Uthappa, Amit Mishra, Stuart Binny, Ambati Rayudu and Umesh Yadav will look for an extended run to press claim for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
India A’s fine tour of Australia, where the team won the quadrangular series, is also likely to play on the minds of selectors. Stars from that tour, especially Sanju Samson, are also expecting a call from the senior team at some point. Also on the radar will be Naman Ojha, who has replaced the injured Saha in the Test squad for the fourth and fifth Tests in England.

Commonwealth Games 2014: Abhinav Bindra clinches gold, India's medal tally reaches 10 on Day 2

Glasgow: Indian Olympic champion Abhinav Bindra made the nation proud on the second day of Commonwealth games in Glasgow as he clinched maiden singles gold medal in Men`s 10m Air Rifle event.

He outshined Bangladesh’s Abdullah Baki with a margin of 3.2 points after finishing at 205.3 points at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre on Friday.

The bronze medal went to England’s Daniel Rivers.

Teenager Malaika Goel, on the other hand, bagged a silver as both the shooters added two more medals to India`s kitty.

The 16-year-old Malaika Goel gave India their first shooting medal with a silver in the women`s 10m Air Pistol event while favourite Heena Sidhu fell by the wayside at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre at Dundee.

India’s medal tally has reached the two digit number with 10 medals in bag as the impressive show of the weightlifters continued. A young girl from Madhya Pradesh Santoshi Matsa won the bronze medal in the women`s 53 kg category as she lifted a total of 188 kg.

Five out of total ten medals have come from the weightlifting event. India had won two gold, a silver and a bronze on the opening day of the event.

 

India were placed fifth on the medals table with a tally of 3 gold, 4 silver and 3 bronze.

England (32) is leading the list followed by Australia (32), Scotland (15) and Canada (9 - Four gold medals).

It was Bindra`s first individual gold medal in the Commonwealth Games. He had won the pairs gold in Manchester (2002), Melbourne (2006) and in front of the home crowd in New Delhi fours years ago.

In the women`s section, Goel shot an aggregate of 197.1 in the finals to finish second and grab her first senior international medal after a close fight for the gold on the opening day of shooting competitions.

Former world number one and a pre-competition favourite Heena Sindhu finished a disappointing seventh after topping the qualifications. She was the second shooter to be eliminated in the eight-women field in the final round.

 

Image 3: (Point tally)

The Indian men`s hockey team launched their campaign on a sluggish note as they toiled hard to register a 3-1 win over a lowly Wales in their opening Pool A match at the National Hockey Centre.

Ranked ninth in the world, India had to dig deep to overcome a resolute Wales defence and pocket full points.

India scored two goals through penalty corner conversions by V R Raghunath (20th minute) and Rupinder Pal Singh (42nd) before comeback man Girvinder Singh Chandi scored from a field effort in the 47th minute.

Wales` lone goal was netted by Andrew Cornick in the 23rd minute from field play.
India will next play hosts Scotland tomorrow, while Wales will be up against world champions and reigning Commonwealth Games champions Australia.

Indian judokas failed to replicate their opening day performance with only Sunibala Huidrom managing to enter the bronze-medal contest in the women`s 70kg category.

Sunibala faced a tough test in the repechage contest but she managed to prevail over Monika Burgess of Canada in a battle that lasted for three minutes and 58 seconds to make the medal round.

She will now fight for the bronze medal with Scotland`s Sally Conway later in the day.

However, it was curtains for Garima Choudhary in the women`s 63kg category after she went down fighting in her repechage round.

Earlier in the day, Sunibala got the better of Australia`s Catherine Arscott in the quarterfinals in another tough four-minute contest, while it took her just 53 seconds to beat Memory Zikhale of Botswana in her round of 16 bout, as she got a couple of Wazaris, which is equivalent to an `Ippon` that finishes a contest.

Garima, who was the only Indian judoka to have qualified for the London Olympics in 2012, lost to K J Yeats-Brown of England in the repechage. Yeats-Brown won on the basis of two Wazaris.

Indian men had a disappointing outing as both Balvinder Singh and V Vikender Singh lost in the round of 32 in 73kg and 81kg, respectively.

In swimming, Sandeep Sejwal became the first Indian swimmer to clear the qualification round and make it to the semifinals of the men's 100m breaststroke event.

Sejwal finished 12th overall after clocking 1:02.97 seconds in the heat to advance to the next round. A total of 16 swimmers qualified for the semifinal stage of the competition at the Tollcross Swimming Centre.

Sejwal came fourth in heat number three but 12th overall in a field of 34 swimmers.

However, India failed to make the main round of men's 200m freestyle event, as Sajan Prakash finished a lowly 22nd in the qualification.

Indian paddlers continued their rampaging form as the men's and women's teams blanked Guyana and Kenya 3-0 respectively in the group stage of the table tennis team competition.
After thrashing Vanuatu 3-0 on the opening day, the Indian men's team continued their good showing with Anthony Amalraj brushing aside Shamar Britton 11-4 11-3 11-3 to give his side an early lead.

Young Soumyajit Ghosh then beat Christopher Franklin 11-8 11-5 11-9 to make it 2-0 in India's favour. Sanil Shankar Shetty and Amalraj then paired up to get the better of Paul David and Franklin 11-8 11-6 11-5 to complete the rout.

Indian squash star Joshna Chinappa suffered a 1-3 defeat against World No. 4 Joelle King of New Zealand in the round of 16 to crash out of the women's singles competition.

The 27-year-old from Chennai, who won the Winnipeg Winter Open trophy -- her maiden WSA world title in February this year -- lost 3-11 8-11 11-8 5-11 against her third seeded opponent at the Scotstoun Campus.

Indian cyclists' dismal show continued at the Games as they failed to qualify for the finals of both Men's 4000m Individual pursuit and Women's 3000m Individual pursuit events.

Ravindra Jadeja fined 50 percent of match fee for violating spirit of game

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar London: Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been found guilty of resorting to “conduct contrary to the spirit of the game” in the ongoing fracas with English pace spearhead James Anderson, and the former has been fined fifty percent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
While Anderson's hearing is due to take place after the Southampton Test starting Sunday, David Boon of the Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees found the Saurashtra cricketer guilty under Article 2.1.8 instead of the offence for which Jadeja was originally charged with.

"India's Ravindra Jadeja has been found guilty of a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Code for Players and Player Support Personnel for his involvement in an incident with James Anderson during the second day of the first cricket Test against England at Trent Bridge on 10 July," ICC said in a media statement on Friday.
ICC's official website quoted Boon, "Under Article 6.1 of the Code, I had to be comfortably satisfied that the offence had occurred in order to find Mr Jadeja guilty of an offence under Article 2.2.11. While I was in no doubt that confrontation did occur, and that such conduct was not in the spirit of the game and should not have taken place, I was not comfortably satisfied that this was a level 2 offence. Therefore, in exercising my discretion under Article 7.6.5 of the Code and having heard all the evidence, I was comfortably satisfied that Mr Jadeja had committed a level 1 offence under Article 2.1.8 of the Code."
Boon, during the two and a half hour hearing, is learnt to have examined statements from both sides, including those from witnesses and the available video footage.

CWG 2014: 16-year old Malaika Goel wins Silver in 10-mt air pistol

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar New Delhi: Malaika Goel earned India its fourth Silver in the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, finishing second behind Singapore’s Shun Xie Teo in the women's 10-metre air pistol competition at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre on Friday.

The teenaged wonder survived immense pressure after another medal prospect Heena Sidhu failed to live up to the hype. Sidhu finished seventh with a score of 95.8 points.

Goel, however, was in top form, and with a total of 197.1 points, the 16-year-old opened India’s account in the sport that had accounted for a third of India’s medals in New Delhi four years back.
Canada's Dorothy Ludwig took bronze.
Goel, who hails from Punjab and is world no.15, took up shooting in 2009. She was inspired to take up shooting by Purnoor Kaur, another student from her school, who won a medal at the district level. This sure makes it worth it. After Sidhu crashed out early, the pressure was on Goel and she is one that everyone will keep an eye on in the future as well.
2012 was a defining year for Malaika as she gave one sterling performance after another to emerge as a top pistol shooter in the country. She won a silver medal in the Senior National Championships in December 2012 and in February 2013 she went on to win the National trials where she beat top senior shooters of the country. She also won a silver medal at the Asian Air Gun Championships in China in December 2012 to prove that she is a talent to watch out for in 2013.
