RCB pacer Akash Deep replaces injured Shivam Mavi in the Indian Mens squad for Asian Games



Bengal and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer Akash Deep replaced Shivam Mavi in the Indian Men's squad for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China.

A back injury ruled Mavi out of the event, which will happen between September 23 and October 8. Akash Deep earned a maiden call-up to the Indian squad after the development.

As the ODI World Cup commences on October 5, BCCI has earlier named a second-string side for the Asian Games. Ruturaj Gaikwad is set to lead the side, filled with top performers in IPL and domestic cricket.

Member of the 2018 Under-19 World Cup-winning team, Shivam Mavi was initially selected in the Asian Games squad but is unfortunately out now, due to an injury issue. BCCI's media release on the matter read:

"The Men's Selection Committee named Akash Deep as replacement for Shivam Mavi in the Indian squad for the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022. Mavi is suffering from a back injury and is ruled out of the tournament. The men's cricket competition will take place from 28th September to 8th October in a T20 format."

Men's squad for 19th Asian Games: Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rahul Tripathi, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Shivam Dube, Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Akash Deep.

Standby list of players: Yash Thakur, Sai Kishore, Venkatesh Iyer, Deepak Hooda, Sai Sudarsan.

The Women's team selectors also made a change to the squad due to an injury issue. Left-arm pacer Anjali Sarvani will sit out due to a knee injury.

Stand-by player Pooja Vastrakar has replaced Sarvani in the squad. BCCI's media release read:

"The Women's Selection Committee named Pooja Vastrakar, who was earlier a part of the standby list of players, as replacement for Anjali Sarvani at the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou 2022.

"Sarvani, a left-arm pacer, suffered a knee injury and has been ruled out of the event, which will be held from 19th September to 8th October 2023 at Zhejiang University of Technology Pingfeng Cricket Field. The women's cricket competition will take place from 19th-28th September 2023 in a T20 format."

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God.

Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...

1989 Taylors Version Vault Titles Are Here Just Decode 89 Puzzles

Just a few weeks out from the release of her fourth rerecorded album 1989 (Taylor's Version) -- which drops on October 27 -- Swift, 33, is doing what she does best: leaving Easter eggs for fans to decode. This time, she's paired up with Google for a word puzzle game that will seemingly help uncover the titles of the record's five vault tracks -- the bonus songs that never made the final cut of the original album. Starting Saturday, September 16, a closed blue vault began popping up when googling Swift's name. Clicking on the vault brings up scattered letters in a word jumble accompanied by a hint to help solve the puzzle. At first, the only clue was, "My name is Taylor and I was born in...," with "1989 Taylor's Version" being the answer. Beginning on Tuesday, September 19, however, the puzzles began to expand. The hint "Blank Space" leads to "Nice to meet you," while other answers include "Got a haircut," "S...
