Pakistan Suffer Huge Setback Ahead Of India Clash In U-19 World Cup. Here's The Details

Pakistan will face India in an important Super Six match at the U-19 World Cup in Zimbabwe. The proceedings of that match will decide the fourth semi-finalist of the mega event featuring future top stars. Afghanistan and England joined Australia as the latest entrants into the semi-finals of the ICC Under-19 World Cup on Friday, following impressive performances in their Super Six clashes. An unbeaten England became the first team from Group 2 to reach the final four, with Sunday's marquee clash between India and Pakistan serving as a virtual knockout match.

Pakistan suffered an injury setback ahead of the match, with wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Shayan being ruled out due to an injury, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Friday. "Pakistan U19 wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Shayan has been ruled out of the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup after being struck on the nose by a ball while wicketkeeping to a fast bowler during a scenario-based practice match," the PCB said in a statement.

"He was taken to hospital, where X-rays confirmed a fracture. A replacement for Mohammad Shayan will be named in due course."

The India U-19 team, currently competing in the ongoing U-19 World Cup, had a virtual interaction with batting great Sachin Tendulkar ahead of their crucial Super Six clash against Pakistan.

"In what was an invaluable experience, the next generation got insights and perspectives on the important ingredients for success and longevity in an ever-evolving sport," the BCCI said in a post on X, along with pictures of the virtual meet.

The interaction was "not just limited to technical skills and remaining fit, but also the importance of staying focused, disciplined, humble, and grounded in success," it added.

Tendulkar holds the record for playing in the most ICC Cricket World Cups (1992-2011), during which he set the all-time record for total runs scored - 2,278 in 45 matches.

He is the only player to appear in six World Cup tournaments, finishing his career by winning the 2011 edition.

Hollywood Shuts Down As Actors Go On Strike

Hollywood's actors announced Thursday they will go on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), which represents 160,000 performers including A-list stars, said negotiations had ended without a deal on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence. "SAG-AFTRA's national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," said the union's chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. The strike will begin at midnight Thursday (0700 GMT Friday), meaning actors will join writers on picket lines from Friday morning in the first Hollywood "double strike" since 1960. Writers have already spent 11 weeks on the picket line, after their similar demands for better pay and protections against the future use of AI in television and fi...
