The initial loan spell which was rumoured to be 2.5 months has been extended to a year, after the youngster impressed on loan. In case you didn’t know.. Ashique Kuruniyan, an Indian U-19 International, a product of the Pune FC academy was a part of the Pune City FC squad for the Indian Super League season when he was approached for a loan spell by the Spanish giants.

While Ahsoka wasn’t the only one whose story was told through the bite-sized episodes of Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi, she did play a major role in it as her episodes offered new insight into her time both in and out of the Jedi Order. When not dealing with the origin story for Palpatine’s eventual apprentice Count Dooku, the show offered more context into Ahsoka’s upbringing as well as her relationship with her former master, Anakin Skywalker....

Flower had previously split coaching duties with Giles back in 2012 in order to focus more on the Test side. “We would all agree he is a very strong candidate. We have the highest regard for him as a man and coach of great integrity and capability,” Clarke said. Clarke suggested Giles could be taking over all three formats. “He played a lot of cricket for England and is respected in the game....

The Proteas started Saturday on 36-3 and were all out for 275 in their first innings by the close of play, still 326 runs behind the hosts in Pune. It could have been worse for South Africa, but India’s bowlers were frustrated by a magnificent 109-run partnership for the ninth wicket between Vernon Philander and Keshav Maharaj that spanned 259 balls. But India ended the day on top after the impressive Ashwin (4-69) claimed two vital wickets in the final four overs of the day....

Unfortunately, Cricket’s Asia Cup offers none of that. It will be an interesting tournament for sure, but certainly not the pantheon of Cricketing Gods. That honour is reserved for the World Cup. The tournament officially started four days after India’s Test Series in England ended. Moreover, Captain and star batsman Virat Kohli has been rested. It is fair to say that this tournament has somewhat slipped under the radar. However, life as an Indian Cricketer means that the Indian squad will be under more pressure than any other in the tournament (with the arguable exception of the Pakistani team before their clash with India)....

Dhawan’s 127 came off 120 balls with the help of 15 boundaries and two sixes and stitched together a 116-run for the second wicket with Ambati Rayudu, who scored 60 and followed it up with a 79-run stand for the third wicket with Dinesh Karthik, who scrambled his way to 33. There was a stage when India were looking good to score in excess of 330 but Hong Kong pulled things back in the last ten overs to restrict India for just 285....

Ajay Thakur will lead a raiding-heavy side at the Championships and Bengal Warriors star Surjeet will be his deputy. The squad is packed with some of the best talent the Pro Kabaddi League has to offer. However, there are a number of players, who starred for their teams in the latest edition of the league, but find themselves out of the final team. Here are the five biggest names!...

India were up against Iraq in their first match of the group stages and recorded a clinical performance to take a 61-21 win, despite a few lapses in concentration in the second half. They are the favourites to take the title this time around and their attack was lead by Ajay Thakur, along with Rahul Chaudhari and Maninder Singh being the other two raiders. In defence, it was the familiar pairing of Surender Nada and Mohit Chhillar manning the corners, while Surjeet played in the cover position....

As part of a recent Twitch stream, Asmongold was going down a list of news regarding upcoming MMO releases and announcements. The list included Blizzard’s upcoming World of Warcraft expansion announcement event on April 19. This led to Asmongold discussing why he’s not playing World of Warcraft 9.2 and why he won’t play the new expansion if it doesn’t improve the game. Accordingly, Asmongold received a number of frustrated responses from World of Warcraft fans in his chat, and that drove Asmongold to a more hostile response of his own in which he said he was done with the MMO....

Asmongold has recently been embroiled in some controversy over statements he’s made about a recent One True King Twitch stream. A “Friendsgiving” stream hosted by the streamer collective known as OTK that took place on November 21 led to some issues between Asmongold and the other streamer attendees after some miscommunication. OTK is led by Asmongold, Mizkif, and Esfand, and the situation caused some friction between Asmongold and Esfand....

The news of LaPierre’s visit follows another high-profile contact between the president and the leader of the country’s most influential gun-rights organization. In late August, the pair reportedly engaged in a phone call in which Trump promised that universal background check legislation—which has gained widespread attention amid a new push for gun control after two mass shootings last month—would not advance on his watch. While LaPierre, who is experiencing his own internal ethical scandals at the NRA, may have achieved some recent success in holding the line against the president’s well-documented vacillations on gun control, this strategic defense against emerging legislative action may not bode as well for the president’s own political considerations....

This is part of Moscow’s strategy of “strategic reciprocity,” said Vladimir Rouvinski, Director of Interdisciplinary Research Center at Icesi University in Cali, Colombia, who has lived in both Russia and Colombia. “This is reciprocity for what is happening in Ukraine,” he told Newsweek. But for Russians, “reciprocity” means something much closer to “retaliation” than the give-and-take people in the West associate with the term. “Russians still believe that Latin America is a backyard of the United States and that it should be considered their exclusive area of influence,” Rouvinski said....

Just over a dozen other states, each of which has a Republican governor, could potentially be next in line to require masks statewide following a sharp rise in average daily new cases seen in recent weeks. While some local authorities in several states have issued mask ordinances at a local level, 13 states have yet to issue a statewide mandate. In the past two weeks, the average daily case count in most of these 13 states each reached their highest level since the outbreak began, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University (JHU)....

It was the Asensio show in Elche, where the forward scored once and set up four more as Spain condemned World Cup finalists Croatia to the biggest defeat of their history – a 6-0 rout in the Nations League. Asensio was linked with a move away from Champions League holders Madrid amid reports of a potential switch to Liverpool. However, Asensio – who has five years remaining on his contract – told reporters: “I’ve never had the intention to go anywhere....

When asked how he got the idea of adapting McCabe’s book specifically into a musical, Muldoon told Newsweek the novel “was assigned to me as part of a class, and it came at a time when I was sort of looking for something a little off the beaten path to try and adapt into a show. It’s also the first show that I’ve written the score for completely by myself....

Hazlewood took 3-34 from 15 overs as Australia – despite some resilient lower-order batting from Charlie Morris – restricted tour-match opponents Worcestershire to 201-9 declared on Thursday. The paceman missed out on the first Test, with Peter Siddle, James Pattinson and Pat Cummins preferred for the clash at Edgbaston, with Australia defeating England by 251 runs. Worcestershire offered little resistance as Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc (2-56) ripped through the top order in the morning session on Thursday, though Joe Leach’s side rallied in the afternoon before declaring....
