YORKSHIRE have suspended coach Andrew Gale as part of an investigation into a tweet he sent in 2010, the club said in a statement on Tuesday (9).

Yorkshire, which has been rocked by allegations of institutional racism at the club made by former player Azeem Rafiq, added that director of cricket Martyn Moxon was absent from work due to a "stress-related illness".

"We can confirm that Andrew Gale, Yorkshire First XI Coach, is currently suspended pending a disciplinary hearing following an historic tweet," Yorkshire said in a statement. The Jewish News reported that Gale, then club captain, sent a tweet containing an anti-Semitic slur.

Gale told the Jewish News he was “completely unaware” of the offensive nature of the term when he sent the message, which was deleted soon after it was posted.

Yorkshire also confirmed that the club had shared a copy of the report looking into the allegations made by Rafiq with England's Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport.

Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen are set to share the screen in Thalaivan Thalaivii, directed by National Award winner Pandiraj. The film’s title teaser has just dropped, giving fans a sneak peek into a romance that’s anything but ordinary.

Shared by Sathya Jyothi Films on social media, the teaser opens not with visuals but with voices, a clever narrative choice that immediately draws the audience in. We hear the voices of the hero’s family, his mother, sister, and finally the hero himself, each addressing the heroine as "Arasi" (Queen). While promises of love and loyalty are made, it’s evident this is no conventional love story.

Lorde’s comeback album ‘Virgin’ drops 27 June after raw remix with Charli XCX

Lorde’s new album Virgin is finally on its way, and the journey behind it has been more personal than polished. For the New Zealand singer, known for her poetic introspection and moody soundscapes, it took more than time. It took an unexpected collaboration with Charli XCX to break through her own emotional wall.

Back in 2023, Charli released Brat, an album that didn’t just rack up awards but started conversations. One track, Girl, so confusing, subtly unpacked Charli’s own complicated feelings about Lorde. Rather than take offence, Lorde leaned in. She offered to jump on a remix and, in doing so, cracked open parts of herself she’d been avoiding.

Hrithik Roshan becomes Bollywood’s richest star kid with £290 million fortune

He’s not the most outspoken, nor does he court controversy the way others might, but when it comes to wealth, Hrithik Roshan is quietly sitting at the top. With a reported net worth of £290 million (₹3,100 crore), the actor has outpaced Bollywood veterans like Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt and far exceeds the fortune of younger star kids like Aryan Khan.

Born into a film family, his father, Rakesh Roshan, is a producer-director, and his grandfather, J. Om Prakash, was also in the industry, Hrithik started young. He was a child actor in the 1980s, long before his blockbuster debut in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), which made him an overnight sensation. But the real story behind his wealth isn’t just his films; it's everything he built around them.
