Yuvraj Singh :in Sri Lanka World Twenty20 is my target,upcoming t20 for india,

BANGALORE: Raising the possibility of a return to international cricket at the World Twenty20, dashing all-rounder Yuvraj Singh resumed his fitness drills at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore on Monday.

Yuvraj, who was at the NCA a fortnight ago for a brief session, said his body was regaining strength as his rehabilitation progressed.

"Feeling good. My body will become stronger stage by stage.

World Twenty20 is my target. Hopefully I can be ready a little before that," said India's World Cup hero, who is recovering after undergoing treatment for cancer in the United States.

Yuvraj may play in pre-season domestic tournaments in the southern states.

"I have to see the schedule.

May be in August, I should play a few tournaments down south. I am not sure about the dates so I have to check," said the 30-year-old who has not appeared in any form of the game since last November when he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

The Shafi Darashah Trophy in Bangalore, Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament in Chennai and Moin ud Dowla Gold Cup in Hyderabad are the three tournaments scheduled to be played in the next three months.

With the World T20 starting scheduled between September 18 and October 7 in Sri Lanka, Yuvraj is not in a rush but wants to be 100 per cent fit before resuming international cricket.

"I will be in NCA for a while now.

I want to come back and play for India, that's my goal. It's not very easy on the body.

I have gone through a lot and my body has gone through a lot of shock. People are expecting me to come back very quickly, but I don't want to rush," said the left-hander.

The court will hear the arguments of the producers, Ajay Devgn's company Ashtavinayak Cine Vision. The planned July 6 release of the film will depend on the court's decision.

The Nagpur based distributors, Hira Laxmi Amusement, have alleged that Ajay's company dishonoured a deal and refused to return an advance of Rs. 1 crore. They have asked the court to stay the release of the film till the matter is resolved.

Wimbledon 2012: Maria Sharapova v Anastasia Rodionova - live!,tennis today news

First set: *Sharapova 5-1 Rodionova
The stunned Centre Court crowd are trying their best to buoy up Rodionova. And it works. Rodionova gets to 40-30, her first game point, although two quick points later it's set point Sharapova. The Russian blinks, and it's deuce. Advantage Rodionova. Deuce.

Advantage Rodionova. Deuce. Advantage Sharapova. Deuce.

Advantage Rodionova. Deuce. Advantage Sharapova. Deuce. Advantage Rodionova. Game Rodionova! That probably took as long as the other five games combined.

First set: Sharapova 5-0 Rodionova*
Wait, Sharapova is human after all. The Russian sends a forehand long at 15-0, and lets up again at 40-15, but Rodionova then scoops a backhand long as Sharapova holds to 30. 5-0 in 14 minutes. Will I still get paid for this? "Motorbiking to work this morning, I spotted a hoarding of La Sharapova advertising Evian," chirps Gary Naylor. "Just for a moment, I thought it was her in person, but even she's not 12 foot tall is she? I live only a couple of miles or so from the AELTC, but I've never seen a player in Tooting during 27 Championships - I wonder why?" The way she's playing, Sharapova probably feels about 20 foot tall right now.

First set: *Sharapova 4-0 Rodionova
Sharapova takes the first point with a vicious forehand drive volley. Then it's a blistering backhand return winner. Rodionova rolls her eyes, and before she knows it it's 0-40, three break points. And she flunks a forehand into the net. There's the double break. This is brutal.

First set: Sharapova 3-0 Rodionova*
Um, I'm already running out of ways to say this. Sharapova is completely dominant and holds to love. She's conceded just the one point in six minutes. At this rate, the Centre Court patrons will be off having their tea and sandwiches quicker than you can say "double bagel".

First set: *Sharapova 2-0 Rodionova
Rodionova can't buy a point. 0-15, 0-30, 0-40, three break points. But look, Sharapova nets! 15-40. But Rodionova responds in kind, slapping a tame forehand into the net. Exasperated, the Australian raises her arms to the skies.

First set: Sharapova 1-0 Rodionova* (*denotes next server)
Sharapova opted not to play a warm-up tournament on grass following her French Open win, not that you'd know the way she starts here. 15-0, 30-0, 40-0, game. In less than a minute. Though Rodionova helps by throwing in a mixture of unforced errors. Already she's struggling with the depth and power of Sharapova's shots.

It's sunny! Enjoy it while it lasts. According to the Wimbledon weather man it'll be raining by tomorrow.

Tok, tok, tok, they're on court and warming up. This is usually the time when I'd describe the players' garish outfits. But because it's Wimbledon, of course they're wearing white. Though Sharapova does have a flash of yellow on her straps. Rodionova won the toss and has chosen to receive.

Pre-match stat attack. We've got some new stats for you this year, courtesy of IBM. They've been looking at the keys to this match, which you can access via their SlamTracker.

Pre-match musings. Sharapova's thoughts on switching from the red clay of Roland Garros to the green grass of Wimbledon: "I think it's the toughest back-to-back grand slam-wise, without a doubt. Especially if you're coming off a French Open win, or a final, it's the toughest turnaround. As much as you want to celebrate and enjoy it, you come here and it's like a whole new ball game. But I think that's the beauty of tennis, there's so much out there to achieve. It always seems like it's back to back, so that's nothing really new."

Venus Williams is out. The five-times champion looked a shadow of her former self in a 6-1, 6-3 defeat to Elena Vesnina. Her last Wimbledon appearance? Possibly. Though she will be back for the Olympics later this summer. Xan has more in his blog.

Afternoon all. OK, OK, so England are out of Euro 2012. But there's a tennis tournament going on too, you know. And why dwell on another England quarter-final defeat on penalties, when you can look forward to another Andy Murray semi-final defeat to Rafael Nadal?

But I'm getting ahead of myself. After Novak Djokovic's straightforward win over Juan Carlos Ferrero, it's now Maria Sharapova's turn to lay down a marker on the pristine Centre Court. Fresh from claiming a maiden French Open title, completing a career grand slam and regaining the world No1 ranking, Sharapova is looking to win Wimbledon for the first time since stunning Serena Williams in the 2004 final. Here's a reminder of that, in case you're feeling nostalgic.

Sharapova's victim opponent today is the world No133, Anastasia Rodionova. They're two of the 26 "ovas" in the women's draw, my programme notes reliably inform me. And this is an all-Russian clash of sorts; Rodionova was born and grew up in Russia, although she now represents Australia.

Sharapova hasn't lost a set in her four previous encounters against Rodionova, while Rodionova is 0-18 against top-10 ranked opponents. So a straight-sets win it is, then.

Delhi airport attacks: Police arrest suspected handler of 26/11 attacks at Delhi airport

New Delhi: In the weeks after 26/11, as India tried to piece Mumbai back together, and connect the dots of ten terrorists who ravaged the city, taped conversations revealed how meticulously the cold-blooded terror attack was orchestrated.

There were ten men who sailed into Mumbai from Karachi on 26/11.

Operating in pairs, they moved to different landmarks. In 72 hours, 166 people were killed.

The terrorists took many of their cues from six handlers who were on the phone to them from Pakistan. One of them was of special interest to Indian intelligence officials.

Not just because he told the duo at Nariman House to let their victims know that "Yeh to sirf trailer hai, asal film baaki hai (this is just the trailer, the film has yet to start rolling)."

But because he used a smattering of Hindi words, rather than Urdu, in his lengthy tutorials.

He talked of "Prashasan" (administration), "Udharan" (example) and "yuvak" (youth). Indian intelligence officials believed this was a "local hand."

Today, they confirmed that he has been arrested.

Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Hamza alias Abu Jundal was arrested on June 21, the government confirmed. The Delhi police officially maintains that he was picked up from the Indira Gandhi International Airport - without explaining why he would risk travelling to India, or how he boarded a plane given that there's an Interpol red corner notice (the equivalent of an international arrest warrant) for him.

He belongs to the Beed district of Maharashtra, and is also wanted for the attacks on local trains in Mumbai in 2006 in which 180 people were killed.

Home Minister P Chidambaram did not confirm or deny whether reports that he was deported from Saudi Arabia are correct.

"The person who goes by the pseudonym of Abu Jindal has been apprehended and remanded to the custody of our law enforcement agencies," he said.

Police sources said Ansari has been arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Explosives Act and the Passport Act.

He is, for India, a big breakthrough in the Mumbai 26/11 investigations.

Abu Hamza, who had 10 aliases, is named in both the case chargesheet and the dossier that India has handed to Pakistan.

This is the first time that investigating agencies have in their custody a man who was on the inside of the 26/11 plot.

Sources in the Delhi Police say that they were given vital information on Abu Hamza by another terrorist arrested last year in connection with the blast at Delhi's Jama Masjid in 2010.

The police was told that the 26/11 handler had stayed in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and was recruiting and raising funds for the Lashkar-e-Taiba in countries including Saudi Arabia.

Abu Hamza's voice samples will now be matched against the recordings. Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist arrested after the Mumbai 26/11 attacks, has mentioned Abu Hamza's role in court. He said that while he was training in Pakistan, it was the handler who taught Hindi to him and the others who executed the 26/11 attacks.

Ansari, who has trained at the Indian Technical Institute at Beed, is believed to have become a jihadi after the Gujarat riots.

Among the many terror plots that security agencies believe he played a role in, was also an alleged plot to assassinate Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

He is alleged to have first joined the banned group SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India), then the Indian Mujahideen and later, the Pakistan-based Lashker-e-Taiba.

Intelligence sources believe he has been a vital link between the Indian Mujahideen and the Lashkar.

Pakistan had said earlier that Abu Hamza had been arrested. It will now have to elaborate on how this man was then allegedly travelling to Saudi Arabia and other countries in recent months.

Amarnath Yatra : 12,000 pilgrims arrive for Amarnath Yatra

The first batch of Hindu pilgrims, consisting of 12,000 people from across the country arrived Sunday morning at the two base camps in Jammu and Kashmir for the Amarnath Yatra, even as the authorities stepped up the three tier security along the route of the pilgrimage.

The Yatra for the Himalayan Cave Shrine is scheduled to begin Monday.

Around 10,000 pilgrims reached the north Kashmir Baltal base camp in the morning.

Reports from the south Kashmir Pahalgam base camp said around 2,000 pilgrims were waiting there to start the 34-kilometre long trek to the Cave Shrine tomorrow.

Paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the state police and the Army have stepped up efforts to provide the three-tier security cover to the Yatra.

While pilgrims take four days from the Pahalgam base camp to reach the cave, those using the Baltal route return back to the base camp after the 'darshan' the same day.

The trek from Baltal to the Cave Shrine is 14 kilometres long.

Situated at an altitude of 13,000 feet, the Amarnath Cave houses the 'Holy Lingam' an ice stalagmite structure believed to symbolise the powers of Lord Shiva.

The 'Lingam' waxes and wanes with the cycles of the moon till the end of the Yatra coinciding with the Hindu festival of 'Shravan Purnima'.

This year's Yatra will officially begin tomorrow and end on August 2.

State governor, N.N. Vohra who is also the chairman of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) visited the two base camps of the Yatra and various halting points en route to the Cave Shrine Saturday along with a team of state government officials.

The SASB has said the twin treks from Baltal and Pahalgam have been cleared for the passage of the pilgrims even though Vohra said the treks were still slippery at many places.

Scores of makeshift tea-stalls and food shops have been opened by local Muslims along the 85-kilometre long Srinagar-Baltal route for the pilgrims.

All the potters and ponywallahs assisting the passage of the pilgrims along both the Yatra treks are local Muslims who eagerly wait for the arrival of the Hindu pilgrims to earn their livelihood.

Dozens of other state government offices including medical department, public health engineering, public works, revenue etc are also detailed on Yatra duties to facilitate its smooth conduct.

Singing religious slogans, hymns and prayers, the pilgrims with holy bandannas tied to their fore-heads left for the Valley amid joy and happiness for their onward journey to Amarnath.

“The yatra has begun this year. We pray for a peaceful yatra to all the pilgrims. A batch of pilgrims have been flagged off here marking the beginning of Amarnath yatra”, Jora told reporters here at base-camp.

A total of 3.5 lakh pilgrims have already been registered for the yatra which will conclude on August two on Raksha Bandhan.

Geared up to ensure an incident-free and peaceful pilgrimage,

CRPF has activated its security set-up and deployed 57 companies for security of the Yatra.

“As many as 57 security companies have been deployed for the yatra in Jammu and Kashmir,” a senior CRPF officer told PTI.
