Sanjay Bangar may coach Bangladesh for Tests

FORMER India batting coach Sanjay Bangar may be appointed as Bangladesh’s Test batting consultant for the two-match Test series against Australia scheduled to be played in June.

According to reports, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is looking to rope in Bangar as the national team’s batting consultant for Tests.


“We have spoken with Bangar (for Test batting consultant) but nothing is finalised yet,” BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury said.

“We are also negotiating with few others as well (for the Test batting consultant post).”

The board was expecting that Neil McKenzie, currently serving as a consultant for the white-ball teams, would extend his role to Tests as well.

However, the South African is not keen on coaching in all the three formats on a regular basis.

“McKenzie is looking after the red-ball cricket despite being a white ball consultant and till we get a batting consultant for Test cricket we are expecting him to do the job (in red ball),” Chowdhury said.

Bangar served as the batting coach of the Indian team from 2014 to 2019.

As per reports, he will be contracted by the BCB for 110 days from June 2020 till February 2021.

Sanjay Bangar was an all-rounder and had represented India in Tests and One Day Internationals.

In August 2014, he was named batting coach of India after an embarrassing Test series defeat to England.

He was named head coach of India national cricket team for Zimbabwe tour in June 2016.

Many Indian batsmen, including Indian captain Virat Kohli, have openly credited Bangar for contributing to their growth.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
