Saransh Jain eyes Test debut as Kuldeep skips India's Colombo training sessions

India face Sri Lanka in the second Test starting Sunday at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo. Kuldeep Yadav's absence from India's final practice sessions has raised doubts about his place in the playing XI.

Retired Boeing 737 Sunk Off Vancouver Island Now Hosts 100+ Marine Species

A decommissioned Boeing 737, formerly operated by Canadian Airlines, was deliberately sunk off the coast of Chemainus, British Columbia in 2006 to serve as an artificial reef. Before the submersion, volunteers thoroughly cleaned the aircraft to ensure it was safe for the marine environment. The site, now called Xihwu Reef, has since evolved into a flourishing underwater ecosystem. Over a hundred different marine species now inhabit the repurposed aircraft, making it a notable example of environmental conservation through creative reuse.

His remarks frame dynastic politics as a structural advantage rather than a liability for the party.
