F1 Confirms 2026 Pre-Season resting Schedule, Azerbaijan GP Date Moved
Last Updated: Formula One and the FIA announced the 2026 pre-season testing: a private test in Barcelona and two in Bahrain. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is moved to September 26. Formula 1 and the FIA have officially announced the pre-season testing schedule for the 2026 campaign, which will feature fresh regulations and intense competition. Teams will have three key opportunities to refine their cars, starting with a private test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from January 26 to 30. The second test will occur at the Bahrain International Circuit from February 11 to 13, followed by a third test at the same venue from February 18 to 20, according to the FIA. 'Test one will be a private test and will take place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya between 26–30 two will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit between 11–13 February. Test three will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit between 18–20 February," F1 said in a statement. These closed-door sessions are designed to provide teams with vital early data on their significantly redesigned 2026 cars. The testing phase will then move to the Middle East, where the Bahrain International Circuit will host two official tests with fans and media present. The first test in Bahrain runs from February 11 to 13, followed by a final tune-up from February 18 to 20 at the same location. These sessions will offer the last look at team performance before the season kicks off in Australia, scheduled for March 6-8 at Melbourne's Albert Park. When Is Azerbaijan Grand Prix? Alongside confirming the testing programme, Formula 1 has also announced a change to the 2026 race calendar. Following a request from local organisers and government authorities, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku will now take place on Saturday, September 26, instead of the originally planned Sunday, September 27. This change accommodates a national day celebration, with the entire event schedule moving forward by one day. All teams have been informed of the change, giving them ample time to adjust their plans for what is expected to be a busy and unpredictable season. First Published: June 30, 2025, 18:29 IST

India's Playing XI For 2nd Test Against England Revealed? Practice Pictures Show...
There has been a lot of chatter surrounding India's playing XI for the second Test match against England. Following the loss at Headingley, both fans and experts have been calling for changes with Nitish Kumar Reddy emerging as a top choice. Experts suggested Reddy's name in place of all-rounder Shardul Thakur while Kuldeep Yadav 's inclusion was also discussed at length following India's disappointing start to the series. While nothing official has been communicated from the team's side, pictures of practice sessions have left fans intrigued. A picture posted by RevSportz on X (formerly Twitter) showed Karun Nair, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan and Nitish Kumar Reddy forming the slip cordon while Yashasvi Jaiswal practised at leg slip and short leg. The inclusion of Reddy in the slip cordon was considered to be a massive indication while questions remained over Jasprit Bumrah 's availability. Meanwhile, Australia legend Greg Chappell believes India paid the price for a lack of variety in their bowling attack during the first Test against England and has called for the inclusion of Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav, whom he hails as the "best wrist-spinner since Shane Warne", in the playing XI. India lost the opening Test of the five-match series by five wickets at Headingley, where they were also guilty of dropping as many as eight catches. "As disappointing as the fielding in Headingley was, it was not the main reason India lost the Test. Most of India's problems were self-inflicted. Perhaps the most expensive error was the no-ball that gave Harry Brook an early life in the second innings," Chappell wrote in his column for 'ESPNCricinfo'. However, the former Australian skipper felt that the sameness of India's right-arm seamers -- Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Shardul Thakur -- posed a bigger tactical problem that the fielding issue. "More concerning to me, though, is the lack of variety in the bowling attack. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, India's seamers are too similar - all right-arm, medium-fast, operating at comparable angles. "There is a reason why wickets often fall after a change of bowling. It forces the batter to recalibrate. That variability isn't available to Shubman Gill with his current crop."

MS Dhoni Makes Big Move, Applies For 'Captain Cool' Trademark
Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has filed a trademark application for the phrase 'CAPTAIN COOL', a sobriquet widely associated with his calm on-field demeanour. According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, the application's status is 'accepted and advertised'. It was published in the official trademark journal on June 16. The application was filed on June 5. The proposed trademark is registered under the category for sports training, providing sports training facilities, sports coaching and services. No comments could immediately be obtained from Dhoni. Interestingly, another company, Prabha Skill Sports (OPC) Pvt Ltd, had earlier filed a similar application for the phrase. However, that application's status is showing as 'rectification filed'. Earlier this month, Dhoni was inducted into the ICC's Hall of Fame for the year 2025 along with seven cricketers, including Australian great Matthew Hayden and South Africa's Hashim Amla. The ICC hailed Dhoni as a player who excelled not just in numbers but also in "extraordinary consistency, fitness and longevity". "Celebrated for his calm under pressure and unmatched tactical nous, but also a trailblazer in the shorter formats, MS Dhoni's legacy as one of the game's greatest finishers, leaders and wicketkeepers has been honoured with his induction into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame," the ICC statement had said.
