"See the beauty in what is around you"

For me, as a visual artist, this is the daily challenge.

Can I see the beauty, goodness, wholesomeness and truth of what is around me, so I can live a life of gratitude ...?

Can I communicate to others, to you, that beauty, goodness, wholesomeness and truth that is all around me ...?

I suspect that's enough to keep me busy for the next thirty years, if I'm lucky ...

What do you think?

Champions Trophy Could Be Shifted to South Africa Amid Concerns Over Security and Infrastructure

In a surprising development for cricket fans worldwide, the much-anticipated 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, originally set to be hosted in Pakistan, may be shifted to South Africa due to concerns about security, infrastructure, and logistics in the subcontinent. According to sources close to the International Cricket Council (ICC), discussions are underway as governing bodies weigh the feasibility of holding the tournament in Pakistan, a country still working to restore its reputation as a safe destination for international sports. This is the top news headlines India today!

Pakistan was awarded the hosting rights in 2021 as part of the ICC's commitment to expanding cricket to countries that had been largely sidelined due to safety concerns. The decision was seen as a significant boost for Pakistan's cricketing community, who have long sought to welcome international tournaments back to their home grounds. However, recent events have raised doubts about Pakistan's ability to manage a high-profile event of this scale. Issues such as regional political tensions and challenges in meeting the stringent security requirements set by the ICC have sparked debates within cricket's governing body.

South Africa, which last hosted a major ICC event in 2009 with the same Champions Trophy, has reportedly emerged as a strong alternative due to its well-established cricketing infrastructure, safety protocols, and experience in managing international tournaments. South Africa’s cricket venues, such as Newlands in Cape Town, Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, and Kingsmead in Durban, offer world-class facilities that could seamlessly accommodate the Champions Trophy if the shift occurs. These grounds have a proven record in both crowd management and hospitality, enhancing South Africa’s appeal as a potential host.

While no final decision has been made, an ICC spokesperson recently stated, “The safety of players, staff, and spectators is our top priority. We are committed to ensuring a successful and secure event, wherever it may be held.”

The possible shift has drawn mixed reactions from the cricketing community. Many Pakistani fans express disappointment, seeing this as a lost opportunity to restore international confidence in Pakistan's hosting capabilities. Others, however, recognize the importance of security and the challenges of ensuring a smooth, world-class event under present conditions.

The ICC is expected to announce its final decision in the coming months, leaving cricket fans eagerly awaiting updates. Should South Africa be confirmed as the new host, it would mark a significant change in the tournament’s trajectory and spotlight South Africa as a safe and vibrant home for international cricket.

1st T20I: Varun, Ravi claim three-fers after Samson ton as India destroy South Africa

Spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Ravi Bishnoi spun a web to strangle the middle-order after Sanju Samson hammered a superb century as India thrashed South Africa by 61 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series at the Kingsmead Cricket Stadium here on Friday. India have never lost a T20I match at this ground and maintained their record with a comprehensive win. This is India’s fifth win in six T20Is…

[news365timesindia]

[ad_1] South Africa vs India, 1st T20I (PC: BCCI) India started off the four-match T20I series against South Africa with a massive 61-run win at the Kingsmead, Durban. First, Sanju Samson’s outstanding second T20I century set the tone, and then India’s entire bowling unit, particularly the spinners, delivered a strong performance to secure the victory for the visitors.  After winning the toss, Proteas skipper Aiden Markram chose to field first. For India, Sanju and Abhishek Sharma opened the innings, but it was not an ideal start for the visitors. Gerald Coetzee dismissed Abhishek for seven runs, bringing India’s captain, Suryakumar Yadav, to the crease. Suryakumar and Sanju formed a 66-run partnership for the second wicket, taking India to 90/2 in nine overs. In his 21-run innings, Suryakumar played a supporting role, while Sanju displayed his full range of shots around the ground. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter reached his fifty in just 27 balls and continued to hit powerfully. In his next 20 balls, he added another fifty runs, becoming the first Indian to score consecutive centuries in T20 cricket. Tilak Varma also contributed with a brisk 33 off 18 balls at a strike-rate of 183.33 at the No. 4 position. However, after Tilak’s dismissal, India experienced a dramatic collapse, losing their last eight wickets for only 35 runs. Thanks to Samson’s impressive 107, India posted 202/8. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Sanju Samson vs South Africa, 1st T20I in Durban (PC: BCCI) For South Africa, Coetzee took three wickets, while Patrick Kruger, Nqabayomzi Peter, Keshav Maharaj and Marco Jansen claimed one each. In response, South Africa struggled under pressure right from the start. Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan and Varun Chakravarthy struck early, reducing the home side to 49/3 in the first six overs. In the middle overs, Ravi Bishnoi joined in, and the spin duo of Bishnoi and Varun put the Proteas batters under serious pressure. Heinrich Klaasen (25 off 22) and David Miller (18 off 22) did their best but they struggled to read the spinners. With pressure building, the home team found themselves needing 110 runs from the last seven overs, with only three wickets remaining. The home crowd enjoyed a brief show when Coetzee scored 23 runs off 11 balls with some crisp shots. However, both spinners claimed three wickets each, and South Africa were eventually bowled out for 141 in 17.5 overs. With this win, India remained undefeated in Durban in T20Is with five wins and one no-result in six games.

[ad_1] India managed to draw their T20I series against South Africa on Thursday with a resounding 106-run win at the Wanderers in Johannesburg. It was one of two matches that could be completed in the series, with the first one being washed out at Kingsmeade. With the Indian Premier League (IPL) set to take place before the T20 World Cup next year, this was one just three series that India get to play before the marquee ICC tournament. India's Suryakumar Yadav (L) and South Africa's Aiden Markram (R) hold the series winner trophy after India and South africa ended in a draw after the T20 cricket matches between South Africa and India at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on December 14, 2023. (Photo by PHILL MAGAKOE / AFP)(AFP) The only bilateral T20I series India will play after this one before the start of the IPL and later the T20 World Cup will be against Afghanistan starting on January 11. While two of the three matches in South Africa were heavily influenced by rain, there were quite a few decisive performances for India to take away from the series. Let's take a look at some of them. Stay tuned with breaking news on HT Channel on Facebook. Join Now Suryakumar Yadav's T20I brillianceSuryakumar Yadav's place in the Indian ODI squad may have been questioned time and again throughout their buildup and run through the 2023 World Cup. However, India's stand-in captain for this series, and the previous one against South Africa, has shown that his form in T20 cricket seems to be impervious to all that happens outside the format. This was the first time he was playing a T20I game in South Africa and he had previously played just one ODI in the country. He ended up being the highest scorer over the course of the two games, smacking 156 runs at a strike rate of 169.56 and scoring his fourth T20I century in the process. With India not being able to get a good opening partnership going in the two matches, SKY showed his expertise in constructing a T20 innings and pacing it perfectly without ever really going too far behind on his strike rate. He had a shaky start to his innings in the third T20I but broke the shackles by blasting three sixes and a four in the 13th over from Andile Phehlukwayo. SKY ended up falling only in the last over of the innings, having made 100 in 56 balls. Rinku Singh is here to stayThis series has been a statement of intent from Rinku Singh. In the second T20I, he was left to reconstruct the innings with SKY after the openers fell for ducks and Tilak Varma fell off the second last ball of the powerplay. He ended up playing through the innings and scored his first T20I half-century, eventually staying unbeaten on 68 off 39. In the third, he couldn't quite put his finishing hat on after the 112-run stand between SKY and Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, he did share a 47-run stand with SKY and scored a handy 14 off 10 balls. Kuldeep Yadav remains higher on the pecking orderAmong the many conversations before the start of the series was whether India will stick with Ravi Bishnoi, who recently rose to No.1 on the T20I rankings for bowlers, or if they will go back to Kuldeep Yadav now that he is back in the squad. India stuck with the more experienced of the two and Kuldeep made a good case for himself. The Indians were blasted all around the park during the second T20I and Kuldeep was the most economical of them all, conceding 26 runs in three overs and accounting for the all-important wicket of Reeza Hendricks. The pitch at the Wanderers in the third T20I provided assistance for the spinners and Kuldeep made merry. He registered figures of 5/17 and was one of the chief architects of India's resounding victory. India need BumrahSeven T20Is may be two small a sample size, let alone two, but the fast bowlers who have been on show for India thus far since the end of the ODI World Cup haven't exactly made it too difficult for Jasprit Bumrah to walk back into this squad. In the second T20I, Mukesh Kumar registered an economy of 11.33, Arshdeep Singh was pummelled at 15.50 in 2 overs and Mohammed Siraj had an economy of 9.00. They had far better outings in the third match, although Mukesh still ended up going at 10.50 in two overs. With Bumrah set to play an integral role in the T20 World Cup, it is clear that at least one of the three pacers involved in this series would miss out. [ad_2] Source link
