Team Goemkarponn Panaji: The Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has pledged firm action to curb the fraudulent practice of individuals changing their surnames to traditional Goan ones in order to illegitimately access state benefits and assimilate into the native identity.

New Delhi: In a surprising twist, it has now been revealed that Jasprit Bumrah’s early departure from the England Test series was not just part of workload management, but due to a suspected knee injury — a concern that could have longer-term implications for Indian cricket. Initially, it was widely believed that Bumrah would play only three of the five Tests in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to manage his workload and prevent another major injury, especially after his past struggles during the Australia tour. Even before the series began, both head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill…
