India rejects references to Jammu and Kashmir in China-Pakistan statement

India on Thursday rejected references to Jammu and Kashmir in a China-Pakistan joint statement during Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's visit to Beijing. External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the references were "unwarranted" and India consistently rejected such statements. The Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh are and will always remain an integral and inalienable part of India, he said. On China-Pakistan-Economic Corridor (CPEC), Bagchi said India consistently conveyed "protests and concerns" to China and Pakistan as it includes projects in the "sovereign territory" of India. We resolutely reject any attempts to utilise such projects to change the status quo in that area, Bagchi said. The joint statement was issued after talks between Sharif and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

T20 World Cup: Bangladesh's Nurul Hasan accuses Kohli of 'fake fielding'

Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batter Nurul Hasan has accused Indian maestro Virat Kohli of "fake fielding" which went unnoticed by on-field umpires and robbed his team of five potentially vital penalty runs in their T20 World Cup game. Set a revised target of 151 in 16 overs after a brief spell of rain, Bangladesh fell short by five runs. While his skipper Shakib Al Hasan conceded that they lost fair and square, Nurul, who kept Bangladesh in the game in the final over with a six and a four off Arshdeep Singh, seemed to criticise the on-field umpires after the game. "Definitely, the wet outfield did have an impact when we restarted the game. But there was also a fake throw which could have got us five runs but we didn't even get that," Nurul said in Bengali at the mixed zone, indirectly accusing umpires Chris Brown and Marais Erasmus of overlooking the incident. The incident that Nurul was referring to happened in the seventh over. A video recording showed that Arshdeep threw the ball fro
