<p><strong>Shakib Al Hasan Bowling Banned:</strong> The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has taken strong action against former captain and star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who has taken over 700 wickets for Bangladesh in international cricket. Having already retired from T20 Internationals and Test cricket, Shakib Al Hasan was hoping to play in the Champions Trophy 2025, but his dreams have been shattered by the Bangladesh board. Following an investigation into his suspect bowling action by the England Cricket Board (ECB), which banned him from bowling in their competitions, the BCB has now banned him from both international and domestic cricket.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Action Deemed Suspect in September This Year</h2>



<p>In September this year, following his club Surrey&#8217;s defeat against Somerset, Shakib&#8217;s bowling action came under scrutiny. This was his only match for the county, in which he scored 12 runs in the first innings and 0 in the second. The ECB issued a statement saying that the Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been suspended from bowling in ECB competitions following an independent assessment of his bowling action. Now, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has also imposed a ban on his bowling.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bowling Ban Until Re-assessment is Passed</h2>



<p>The ECB recently stated that Shakib is ineligible to bowl in ECB competitions until he passes a re-assessment of his bowling action. The BCB&#8217;s subsequent ban on him from bowling in international and domestic cricket could potentially end his hopes of playing in the Champions Trophy 2025.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shakib Al Hasan&#8217;s Cricket Career</h2>



<p>In his international career, Shakib Al Hasan has taken 712 wickets in 447 international matches for Bangladesh and also scored 14730 runs with the bat.</p>

Isha Guha apologizes on-air for offensive comment about Jasprit Bumrah


<p><strong>Isa Guha Apologises:</strong> Former English cricketer and commentator Isa Guha has publicly apologised for using the word &#8216;primate&#8217; about Indian star pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Guha was discussing Bumrah&#8217;s outstanding bowling performance during the India vs Australia Gabba Test on 15 December. While praising Bumrah&#8217;s five-wicket haul, she referred to him as the MVP, or &#8216;Most Valuable Primate&#8217;. Guha also commented that Bumrah needed more support from the other end.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bumrah Called &#8216;Most Valuable Primate&#8217;</h2>



<p>Guha stated, &#8220;MVP – Most Valuable Primate… he&#8217;s a fast bowler who does so much for Team India. Why is there so much focus on Bumrah for the Gabba Test preparations? Will he be able to stay fit? He needs some support from the other end.&#8221; Her use of the word &#8216;primate&#8217; went viral on social media, with fans heavily criticising Guha for using such a term for Bumrah. Following the backlash, Guha issued an on-air apology on Fox Cricket on Monday, the third day of the Gabba Test.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘I Used the Wrong Word’</h2>



<p>Guha stated that she intended to praise Jasprit Bumrah but used the wrong word. She expressed hope that fans would understand there was no malice in her comment about Bumrah. &#8220;I used a word in my commentary yesterday that has many different meanings. I apologise for any offence caused,&#8221; she said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘I Am a Big Fan of Bumrah’</h2>



<p>Guha added, &#8220;If you listen to my entire commentary, you will understand that my intention was to praise one of India&#8217;s greatest players. Jasprit Bumrah is a player I greatly admire. I believe in equality. I respect anyone who has dedicated their career to living and understanding cricket.&#8221;</p>

This will reduce the travel time from 8 hours to just 5 hours.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Significant Benefits for Jabalpur Residents</h2>



<p>The Lakhnadon-Raipur expressway will significantly benefit the residents of Jabalpur. Road construction from Jabalpur to Mandla will further improve connectivity to Raipur.

Breast cancer detection tool with 98% accuracy sparks medical revolution


<p><strong>Breast cancer early detection:</strong> Early and accurate detection of breast cancer has become significantly easier. Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have developed a machine learning-based technology capable of detecting breast cancer with 98% accuracy. This new technology offers new hope in cancer screening. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breast Cancer Early Detection: A Unique Combination of Machine Learning and Laser</h2>



<p>This technology combines laser analysis (Raman spectroscopy) and machine learning. After applying a laser beam to the patient&#8217;s blood plasma, a spectrometer analyses minute changes in the chemical structure.</p>



<p>According to researchers, this technique can identify subtle changes in blood flow that are not detectable by existing standard tests such as physical examinations, X-rays, ultrasounds, or biopsies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accurate Identification in Stage 1A</h2>



<p>This technology is effective even in the early stages of breast cancer, known as Stage 1A. While conventional tests often detect cancer late, this technology can detect the disease in its initial stages.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Accurate Classification of Four Main Subtypes</h2>



<p>Using machine learning algorithms, this technology can differentiate between the four main subtypes of breast cancer with over 90% accuracy. This helps patients receive personalised and effective treatment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conventional Tests versus New Technology</h2>



<p>Currently, available standard tests such as biopsies, X-rays, and ultrasounds are often expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes painful. In contrast, this new technology is fast, accurate, and non-invasive, making it more affordable and widely applicable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">This Technology Could Pave the Way for Various Cancers</h2>



<p>Researchers say that the application of this technology is not limited to breast cancer. In the future, it could be expanded to identify other types of cancer.</p>



<p>Early detection of a serious disease like breast cancer can play a crucial role in saving a patient&#8217;s life. This new technology from the University of Edinburgh is a significant advancement in the medical field. It is hoped that this technology will soon be used on a larger scale, making cancer screening more accessible and effective.</p>

<p><strong>IND vs AUS 3rd Test Day 3 Highlights:</strong> The third match of the five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is underway at the Gabba. Rain disrupted play, and at the close of play on day three, India trailed Australia by 394 runs in the first innings. Australia, after winning the toss and electing to bat first, posted a formidable 445 runs in 117.1 overs, thanks to centuries from Travis Head and Steve Smith. In response, India&#8217;s first innings got off to a disastrous start. At stumps on day three, India were precariously placed at 51/4.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">India&#8217;s Dismal Start</h2>



<p>Australia&#8217;s first innings total of 445 runs put India on the back foot from the outset. India suffered an early blow when Mitchell Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for 4, with the score on just 4. Starc then struck again, removing Shubman Gill (1) caught by Marsh, leaving India reeling at 6/2.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pat Cummins Claims Pant</h2>



<p>Josh Hazlewood dealt a further blow, trapping Virat Kohli leg before the wicket, reducing India to 22/3. After lunch, India lost their fourth wicket at 44, with Rishabh Pant falling to Pat Cummins for 9 runs off 12 balls. At the close of play on day three, India was 51/4, trailing Australia by a massive 394 runs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Will Rain Wash Out the Match?</h2>



<p>The Gabba Test has been significantly impacted by rain. Day one saw only around 13 overs bowled, and day three was repeatedly interrupted by showers. Ultimately, the umpires abandoned play due to fading light and persistent drizzle. With rain forecast for days four and five, there is a real possibility that the match could be washed out.</p>
