NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday said cricket should not be dragged into attacks on minorities in Bangladesh, reacting to Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) decision to release Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman from its IPL 2026 squad following a directive from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).Sharing a video from Friday, Tharoor made his position clear on the issue. “Recalling my views on the subject, now that BCCI has deplorably pulled the plug on Mustafizur Rahman,” he said. He then questioned the logic behind the move, adding: “And what if the Bangladeshi player in question had been Litton Das or Soumya Sarkar?”
Tharoor raised sharper questions on the wider implications of the decision. “Who are we punishing here: a nation, an individual, his religion? Where will this mindless politicising of sport lead us?” he asked.His comments came after KKR confirmed that Mustafizur Rahman had been excluded from the squad for the upcoming season on BCCI’s instructions. In a media advisory, the franchise said, “Kolkata Knight Riders confirms that BCCI/IPL as the regulator of IPL has instructed it to release Mustafizur Rahman from the squad ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.”“The release has been carried out following due process and consultations, upon the instruction of the Board of Control of Cricket in India,” the statement added.The advisory also said, “BCCI will allow Kolkata Knight Riders a replacement player in line with IPL regulations, and further details will be communicated in due course.”Earlier, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board had directed KKR to release the Bangladesh pacer “due to the recent developments.”KKR had signed the 30-year-old left-arm pacer for Rs 9.20 crore, from a base price of Rs 2 crore, after a bidding contest involving Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals at last month’s auction.Mustafizur Rahman has played in eight IPL seasons since 2016, missing only the 2019 and 2020 editions. He has represented Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The 2026 season was set to be his first with three-time champions KKR.

AGRA: Almost 20 days after a multi-vehicle pile-up on the Yamuna Expressway that claimed 19 lives, the fate of two victims—a woman passenger and a bus conductor—remains unresolved, with no physical remains conclusively traced to either of them despite extensive forensic examination. The Mathura administration has now constituted a five-member committee to probe the circumstances surrounding their deaths.The accident occurred in the early hours of Dec 16 near Milestone 127 under Baldev police station, when more than a dozen vehicles, including several buses, rammed into each other amid dense fog and caught fire. Eighteen people were burnt alive, while another succumbed to injuries at SN Medical College, Agra. Around 100 others were injured.Most bodies were charred beyond recognition. Police managed to recover 18 sets of burnt remains and carried out DNA profiling by matching samples provided by victims’ families at forensic laboratories in Agra and Lucknow. While 19 victims were officially identified, DNA samples of two missing persons—Parvati, a resident of Hamirpur, and Bholu, a bus conductor from Dholpur—did not match any of the recovered remains.Officials said Parvati was travelling by bus to Noida with her two children—Prachi (8) and Sunny (12)—to meet her husband when the pile-up occurred. After the collision, the bus caught fire, trapping passengers inside.As flames spread rapidly, Parvati broke the bus window and pushed both Prachi and Sunny out to safety. Recounting the moments before the fire spread, Prachi told TOI that their mother asked them to get down from the bus, saying, “You get down, I am getting down too.” While the children managed to escape, flames surrounded Parvati. “We kept screaming outside, but couldn’t save our mother,” Prachi said.Similarly, Bholu has also not been traced since the accident. His sister, Sitara, told TOI that he was on one of the buses that caught fire. “Where else could he have gone?” she said.With unanswered questions surrounding the two deaths, the Mathura administration on Friday constituted a five-member committee, headed by a magistrate-level officer, with representatives from the police, transport and health departments, to examine why their remains could not be recovered.Mathura DM CP Singh said on Saturday, “Based on DNA analysis and scientific examination, the charred bodies recovered were handed over to families. We remain in constant touch with the families of the two missing victims. I am sure things will be clear in the coming days.”
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going into a crucial Week 18 game with their playoff chances on the line. One of the main doubts for fans has been whether or not star wide receiver Mike Evans will be able to participate. The positive news comes at a very important time for Tampa Bay after a season full of uncertainties.
Yes, the Buccaneers expect Mike Evans to play this week. Even though he missed a practice session earlier in the week, the team made it clear that the absence was just a day off for a veteran and not because of a new injury. Evans was fully involved earlier in the week, which means he is physically fit to play.After a tough 2025 season in which Evans had to deal with a lot of injuries, including a hamstring problem and a broken collarbone, the Buccaneers have been careful with his workload. Those setbacks kept him from playing as much as he wanted, but when he is on the field, Evans still looks like Tampa Bay’s most reliable offensive weapon.
The time of Evans’ return is quite critical. The Buccaneers’ game against the Carolina Panthers is a high-stakes one that could make or break their season. If they win, Tampa Bay will still be in the running for the playoffs. If they lose, their chances of making the playoffs will be almost over.Evans is a reliable red-zone target and a proven deep threat for quarterback Baker Mayfield. Evans has proved that he still works well with Mayfield, even if he hasn’t played much this season. Since coming back from his collarbone injury, he has been routinely targeted and has made big plays, including touchdowns in two straight games.Evans is 32 years old and firmly in the veteran stage of his career. The Buccaneers have made it clear that his health is their first priority. Experienced stars across the league now use strategic recovery days, especially during weeks when they have to win. Tampa Bay’s way of doing things shows confidence, not worry.Evans himself has said that missing games made him remember how much he loves football. This has led to speculation that he could keep playing after this season, even if there are still rumors that he would retire. But for now, the main goal is still to assist the Buccaneers get through Week 18.Evans is likely to start and play his normal role in the Buccaneers’ offense unless anything goes wrong at the last minute. Tampa Bay will likely rely on him a lot at first, especially when the stakes are high. He can spread the field and get the defense’s attention, which might also give other receivers chances.Also Read: NFL playoff format explained: Everything you need to know
