No further postponement possible: PCB
MUMBAI: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed its inability to further postpone Pakistan’s tour of India, says a UNI report quoting a PCB official release.
PCB was reacting to Indian media reports that the Pakistan-India series could be postponed following the telecast rights row.
“Further deferring the tour would lead to severe loss of revenue for both Boards and dislocation in logistics for a postponed tour. Moreover, a further postponement of the tour would be difficult because Pakistan would be touring the West Indies in early May. PCB hopes that the television rights issue would be resolved expeditiously so that the tour can proceed on schedule,” the Board has been quoted as saying in the release.

Samsung India elevates Aditya Babbar to lead mobile business
Exec takes charge of MX sales and marketing after Raju Pullan’s exit
NEW DELHI: Samsung India has elevated Aditya Babbar to lead its mobile phone business, following the exit of Raju Antony Pullan.
Babbar, who previously served as vice president within the mobile division, has been appointed head of sales and marketing for the MX (mobile experience) business, effective May 1. In his new role, he will oversee the company’s sales and marketing operations for smartphones and related categories in India, reporting to the executive vice president of the MX business.
A long-time Samsung executive, Babbar brings over a decade of experience within the organisation, having held multiple leadership roles across product, marketing and category management. Most recently, he led product marketing and e-commerce for the mobile division, following earlier stints as head of product and marketing and senior director roles.
His career within Samsung Electronics and its India operations has also included responsibilities for flagship devices, tablets and wearables, giving him a broad view of the company’s premium and mass-market portfolio.
Babbar succeeds Pullan, who stepped down from the role, marking a leadership transition at a time when India remains a key battleground for global smartphone makers.
The appointment signals continuity within Samsung’s leadership bench, with an internal candidate stepping up to steer one of its most critical business units in a highly competitive market.
