(Credit: Twitter/@_KateForbesKate Forbes, 32, cut short her maternity leave to join the race to replace Nicola Sturgeon as the leader of the Scottish National Party (SNP) after the 52-year-old leader stepped down last week. London: The finance minister of the devolved Scottish government, who spent some of her formative years in India where her parents worked as Christian missionaries, on Monday threw her hat in the ring to be elected Scotland’s First Minister. “Aged 10, I left my very safe primary school (in Scotland) and arrived in India to sit in a classroom with 60 other kids.

England captain Jos Buttler excited by buzz around team’s new leg-spinner and his impact on white-ball cricket

The performance had awed Test captain Ben Stokes, and now white-ball captain Jos Buttler is in anticipation of what the teenage leg-spinner could achieve in his ODI and T20I debut against Bangladesh next month. “We’re really excited to have someone with so much talent, not just with the ball, with the bat as well. With the Bangladesh series one of just three England will be playing before the World Cup, it would be ideal preparation. “All our preparation is geared towards that World Cup and these are the conditions that will probably be the closest that we can get to playing in India.

Nicklaus, appearing at the final round Sunday at PGA National, said a reworked schedule in 2024 will give South Florida’s lone tour event — by whatever name it will be known — a chance at attracting higher-ranked players. Honda is ending its title sponsorship of the tournament at PGA National, but Nicklaus said the event will remain the start of the Florida swing in 2024. Nicklaus and his wife, Barbara, make their home near PGA National and have deep charitable ties to the tournament. Many of the tour’s top players have skipped Honda in recent years even though some of them live just a short drive from PGA National. I don’t do it for any tournament,” Nicklaus said.

Why is India’s status among Asean nations rising?

Unlike other major democracies, India has abstained from successive votes at the United Nations that condemn Moscow’s attack on Ukraine. However, analyst Chia said Asean countries had realistic expectations of New Delhi’s political willingness and ability to embark on major investment economic projects, given India’s ongoing border rows with neighbouring China and Pakistan.
