Ludhiana: Chetan bags gold in state taekwondo championship
Gupta's performance in the championship has earned him a spot in the upcoming National Taekwondo Championship, which will take place in Dehradun from May 29 to June 1. His coach, Armaan Ali, shared that this is not Gupta's first big win. He had clinched the gold medal at the Open National Championship in Chandigarh last year and secured top honours at the district-level Khedan Watan Punjab Diyan. He had also won silver medal in the state-level school games.
Meanwhile, 12-year-old Manmeet Kaur, also from USPC Jain Public School, won a silver medal in the same cadet category (under-14) in the -37 kg kyorugi event. Kaur too has an impressive track record, having bagged a bronze at Khedan Watan Punjab Diyan and a silver in the state-level school games last year.
Kaur said, 'I am elated with this achievement and would like to thank my coach, Armaan Ali, for his constant support and training.'

CM Mann bats for ‘Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh cricket league'
This ambitious tournament should be modeled on the lines of 'Khedan Watan Punjab Diyan', which is organized annually by the state government to provide a platform to budding sportsmen to exhibit their talent, he said. Interacting with the office bearers of newly constituted Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) who called on him here, the chief minister emphasized that the league should organize matches at the village, block, district and state levels to identify and nurture cricketing talent. Chandigarh, Jul 12 (PTI) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Saturday advocated for launch of the 'Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh cricket league' to groom world-class cricketers from the grassroots level in the state. Mann said that this league would also help uncover the hidden potential of cricketers across Punjab. He noted that players from the state like Harbhajan Singh, who is now AAP's Rajya Sabha MP, Shubman Gill, Arshdeep Singh and others have already brought laurels to the nation with their outstanding performances in the field of cricket. The chief minister asserted that many more such talented players could emerge from Punjab if provided with a robust platform to showcase their abilities. Mann assured full support and cooperation to the newly elected PCA team in this endeavour. Meanwhile, congratulating the newly elected team, Mann expressed confidence that it would elevate cricket in Punjab to new heights. He announced the state government will construct international cricket stadiums in Jalandhar and Amritsar in addition to the existing one in Mullanpur. Highlighting that captains of both the Indian men's and women's cricket teams hail from Punjab, the chief minister reiterated his government's commitment to making the state a leading one in sports by upgrading infrastructure and promoting athletic excellence. The PCA office bearers, including president Amarjit Mehta, vice president Deepak Bali, secretary Kulwant Singh and others, assured him that the association would take every necessary step to further promote cricket in the state.

ICC appoints Sanjog Gupta as its new CEO

ICC appoints Sanjog Gupta as its new CEO.(Disney Star) Gupta, who was serving as the CEO (Sports & Live Experiences) at JioStar, will be taking charge of his new role with immediate effect. He will be the seventh CEO of the ICC, which said it received more than 2,500 applications from 25 countries from which 12 candidates were shortlisted. "Candidates ranged from leaders associated with sport's governing bodies to senior corporate executives from across sectors," the ICC said. The names were forwarded to the Nominations Committee comprising ICC deputy chairman Imran Khwaja, ECB chairman Richard Thompson, SLC president Shammi Silva and BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia. They recommended Gupta for the role which was approved by ICC chairman Jay Shah. "Sanjog Gupta has been a driving force behind the transformation of sports broadcasting in India and globally," the ICC said. The governing body also noted Gupta's role in establishing and expanding other leagues such as the Pro Kabaddi League and the Indian Super League (football) while promoting global events like Premier League and Wimbledon. "Sanjog has played a pivotal role in shaping the continued growth of marquee Cricket properties such as ICC events & IPL, establishing domestic sports leagues like PKL and ISL, furthering the popularity of global sporting events such as Premier League and Wimbledon and scaling the business across consumer and commercial objectives," it said. Shah said Gupta's experience in sports strategy and commercialisation will be vital for the ICC. "Sanjog brings extensive experience in sports strategy and commercialisation, which will be invaluable for the ICC," he said. "His deep understanding of the global sports as well as M&E landscape combined with his continued curiosity about the cricket fan's perspective and passion for technology will prove essential in our ambition to grow the game in the coming years." Gupta succeeds Allardice who had quit in January this year after a four-year tenure. It was widely speculated that the 57-year-old Allardice's decision to leave was triggered, in major part, by the ICC Board's unhappiness with his failure to present a "clear picture" of Pakistan's lack of preparedness to host the Champions Trophy. Gupta said he is looking forward to contributing to the next phase of cricket. He began his career as journalist and joined Star India (now JioStar) in 2010. Over the years, he held multiple leadership roles in content, programming and strategy before becoming Head of Sports at Disney and Star India in 2020. Gupta was appointed CEO of JioStar Sports in November 2024 following the merger of Viacom18 and Disney Star. The post of ICC's CEO has been previously held by David Richards, Malcolm Speed and Allardice from Australia, David Richardson and Haroon Lorgat from South Africa and Indian-born Manu Sawhney.
