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.

Uma Sudhir signs off from NDTV after 27 years
The executive editor shaped NDTV’s southern reportage for nearly three decades
NEW DELHI: Senior journalist Uma Sudhir has retired from NDTV, bringing to a close a 27-year association with the network.
Sudhir served as executive editor, heading NDTV’s south India editorial operations. Over nearly three decades, she emerged as one of the most recognisable faces of on-ground reporting from the region, with sustained coverage of politics, governance and social issues across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
At NDTV, Sudhir played a central role in strengthening regional journalism within national television news. Her reporting consistently connected local developments to the national conversation, ensuring stories from the field shaped policy debates beyond studio discussions. Known for her boots-on-the-ground approach, she came to represent a generation of reporters whose authority rested on fieldwork rather than prime-time punditry.
An award-winning journalist, Sudhir is a recipient of the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Journalism Award and the Chameli Devi Jain Award. Her body of work has been widely recognised for its public-interest focus, spanning elections, governance, gender issues, rural distress, environmental reporting and social justice.
