From cricket, hockey to badminton and athletics: India's schedule at Asian Games 2026; check full list of events and dates

India head into the 20th Asian Games determined to breach the 100-medal mark again in Aichi-Nagoya and cement their place behind the continent’s “big three” sporting superpowers.The 107 medals India won in Hangzhou three years ago were a big jump from 70 in Jakarta-Palembang in 2018 and the first three-figure haul at an Asiad by any nation barring China, Japan and South Korea.India’s ambition in Japan over the next few weeks is fuelled by its hopes of emulating that trio of nations by becoming the fourth Asian country to host a Summer Olympics in 2036.“Our target is 2036 – by the time we host the Olympics, we need to be firmly established on the world stage,” sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya said last week.“I have complete faith that our contingent will perform well at the Asian Games and increase the pride of the country.”A second consecutive 100-medal haul appears a reasonable goal despite the absence of star javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, whose bid for a hat-trick of Asian Games golds has been scuppered by a torn ligament.

Setback For Mohammad Rizwan In Legal Battle With Pakistan Board, Probe Takes Unexpected Turn

The Pakistan Cricket Board will decide on whether to initiate any disciplinary action against senior players Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq after the Lahore High Court dismissed the wicket-keeper batter’s petition challenging notices issued to him by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). During Thursday’s hearing, Lahore High Court Chief Justice Aalia Neelum dismissed Rizwan’s petition after hearing arguments from both sides. Advocate Qazi Umair Ali, appearing for Rizwan, told the court that notices had been issued to his client.

“You should go and respond to the notice. On which date was the notice issued to you?” Chief Justice Neelum remarked.

The petitioner’s lawyer replied that after the Lord’s Test, the petitioner was called to the hotel lobby, interrogated without a notice, and his mobile phone was confiscated.

He further stated that the petitioner handed over the mobile phone on the assurance that it would be returned after three hours; however, the phone has not been returned to the petitioner to date, which demonstrates bad faith.

Rizwan’s lawyer argued that the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Unit is the appropriate forum to protect cricketers from corruption, and the matter against the petitioner was not referred to the ICC Anti-Corruption Unit.

Rizwan’s lawyer in his petition challenged the NCCIA summons while questioning the jurisdiction of the NCCIA and the nature of the investigation.

A reliable source aware of the developments said the NCCIA was currently carrying out a forensic examination of the mobile phones taken from Rizwan and Imam and would submit its findings to the PCB by next week.

“How the PCB decides to move against the two players will now depend on what findings the NCCIA submits to the PCB. If nothing out of the ordinary is found in the forensics examination they will probably get reprieves,” the source said.

2 Vikings That Need to Be More Involved in Week 2

Published

on

The Minnesota Vikings found a way to come back and win in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. It was a great start to the season, but it was far from perfect, and two players on the offense need to be more involved in Week 2.

2 Vikings That Need to Be More Involved in Week 2

It was the Justin Jefferson show on Sunday as he hauled in 92 of the team’s 151 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns, and a 2-point conversion. Jefferson is the team’s star player and while you expect him to lead the charge you want more from the supporting cast.

The Vikings tight ends did a decent job with TJ Hockenson and Josh Oliver combining for 6 catches, 58 yards, and a touchdown. However, there wasn’t a single catch for a WR outside of Jefferson.

It was a quiet afternoon for Jordan Addison and Jauan Jennings, who both failed to register a single catch in the season opener.

Addison saw two targets and failed to catch either, though a full-stretch dive got his fingertips on the ball, which was a good effort. Jennings saw just one target which came early in the game when Kyler Murray was still in. Throwing into double coverage, Murray’s pass was intercepted in front of Jennings.

Neither Tai Felton nor Myles Price even saw a target.

It was a strange game where the Vikings’ offense didn’t particularly pull off long drives with the exception of one that was aided by three defensive penalties and finished with an Aaron Jones rushing touchdown. The fourth-quarter dominance of Minnesota’s defense and a long kickoff return from Price set the Vikings up with some excellent field position to help orchestrate their comeback win over the Packers.

Can Wentz Get Into Sync With the Other WRs?

Carson Wentz has shown a good connection with Jefferson dating back to when he played last season. However, the Vikings don’t want to rely on it always being Jefferson who makes the big plays.

Up against a dynamic Chicago Bears offense in Week 2, Minnesota will need their own offense to be at its best. With running back Jordan Mason placed on Injured Reserve with a thumb injury this week, that means a lot more Addison, and more Jennings. Three targets between the pair won’t cut it.

Addison and Jennings are very different styles of WR, with Addison much smaller, slimmer, and relying on his slick route running and ability to get open on deep routes. Jennings is a bigger, more physical WR who can make plays on contested catches. Minnesota doesn’t want the pair drawing another blank in Week 2; Kevin O’Connell would do well to draw up some early touches for both of them, and then it’s down to Wentz and the two receivers to deliver.

The Vikings will need everyone firing on all cylinders if they are going to pull off what would be considered an upset win over Chicago.

4 WWE Superstars who could be added to the Women’s Money in the Bank and make it star-studded

Published

on

The Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match is beginning to take shape following WWE RAW in Mexico City.

Sol Ruca became the first woman to qualify after defeating Lyra Valkyria and Maxxine Dupri on September 7. Lola Vice then joined her by defeating Raquel Rodriguez and Kelani Jordan on September 14.

Four spots are still available, giving the creative team plenty of room to add some established names to the match. Here are four WWE Superstars who could make the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match considerably more star-studded.


#4. Lash Legend

Lash Legend could bring a different physical presence to the Ladder Match. The 29-year-old has established herself as one of the more imposing competitors in the women’s division. Her combination of size and athleticism could be useful in a match where competitors have to fight around ladders and constantly deal with multiple opponents.

A spot in Money in the Bank would give Legend another opportunity to make an impact. Her physical style could also add some variety to a match featuring Ruca and Vice.


#3. IYO SKY

IYO SKY would give the match some much-needed experience. The Genius of the Sky has competed in numerous multi-person matches throughout her WWE career. She is also known for her athletic offense, which could make her a natural fit for a Ladder Match.

IYO’s experience could be particularly useful with two younger competitors already qualified. She would bring an established presence to the match without taking away from the newer talent.

Moreover, the Ladder Match format gives SKY plenty of opportunities to showcase the style that has made her one of WWE’s most recognizable performers.


#2. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair would instantly add another major name to the match. The Queen has won multiple women’s championships throughout her career and has also won the Royal Rumble twice. She has therefore competed in some of the company’s biggest matches and would bring plenty of experience to Money in the Bank.

Her inclusion would also create several possible stories surrounding the briefcase. Any competitor looking to establish herself could benefit from sharing the ring with someone of Flair’s stature.

With Ruca and Vice already qualified, adding Flair would give the match another proven main-event performer.

#1. Former WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton

Tiffany Stratton could be one of the most natural additions to the match. The Buff Barbie already knows how important the Money in the Bank briefcase can be. She won the women’s Ladder Match in 2024 and later cashed in successfully on Nia Jax to become champion.

She has also remained an important part of SmackDown’s women’s division. Her alliance with Chelsea Green and the recent issues with Nia Jax and Lash Legend have kept her involved in the title picture.

Another appearance in Money in the Bank would give Stratton a chance to repeat her previous success. It would also add another established name to a match that currently features two younger stars.

With four places still open, WWE can mix established performers with emerging talent. Ruca and Vice already provide the latter, while names such as Stratton, Flair, IYO, and Legend could give the Ladder Match more experience and star power.
