No more experiments: India screams for a decisive path after the Manolo mishap
All good things come to an end. But Manolo Marquez's stint as India head coach? That never quite got months, eight matches, and just one win — against the Maldives in a friendly — was all it took for the AIFF to pull the plug on July 2. Officially, it was a 'mutual decision,' but let's be honest: the clock had been ticking since that 1-0 defeat to Hong Kong China in the Asian Cup now, the national team's situation looks like the footballing equivalent of a power cut: no spark, no direction, and no goals in three games. Dead last in their AFC Asia Cup Qualifiers group and losing to a side ranked 153rd in the world, India's big coaching experiment with Marquez — juggling club and country — has ended the way most bad ideas do. With regret and a long to-do list. Two jobs, one man, zero clarity From day one, Marquez's appointment was a head-scratcher. The man was coaching both FC Goa and the Indian national team at the same time. It was football's version of 'two jobs, one confused calendar,' and frankly, if it weren't tragic, it might've made a cracking Netflix docuseries. Managing a club like FC Goa is already a 24/7 hustle: training, matchdays, video analysis, team management. Rinse and repeat. Add a national team to the mix, and you've got chaos with an official India got was a part-time national coach for a full-time national problem. There were no consistent camps, no clear tactical direction, and definitely no continuity. By the time Marquez swapped his FC Goa cap for the Blue Tigers tracksuit, he was met with a team that looked completely lost. No rhythm, no identity, and certainly no clue in the final of the biggest red flags was his complete disregard for the I-League. While some of India's most promising players have come through that route, Marquez's selections stuck firmly within the ISL bubble. If you weren't in the glitz and lights of the top division, you basically didn't exist. That kind of tunnel vision cost India dearly, both in terms of squad depth and grassroots a last-gasp effort to fix the attacking drought, Marquez even convinced a 40-year-old Sunil Chhetri to come out of international retirement. And yes, while Chhetri remains a clinical finisher and a legend of the game, no country can sustainably depend on a veteran to save them every time the wheels fall off. It was a band-aid over a system that needed surgery. What next? The Khalid Jamil-sized solutionWith Marquez gone, the AIFF says it will soon advertise for a new coach. But India doesn't need another name — it needs a system. This isn't about a fancy resume or foreign flair. It's about understanding Indian football as it exists: layered, uneven, but brimming with raw Lopez Habas once showed interest — a serial winner in the ISL and now coaching Inter Kashi in the I-League. But even as proven names float around, India has had a history of letting go of those who understood the domestic Ashley Westwood, for example. A tactically astute coach, he gained deep experience in Indian football through stints at Bengaluru FC and others — and earned consistent praise for his structured, detail-oriented approach. So what did Indian football do? Let him go. What happened next? Westwood was roped in by Hong Kong. And what happened after that? He returned to beat India in the AFC qualifiers. Now that is a hard one to if India wants someone truly embedded in the local ecosystem, look no further than Khalid Jamil. He's coached teams across divisions, built underdog squads, and knows what it means to work with Indian talent — not around them. No drama, just honest football. That's the kind of blueprint India desperately intent among the Blue TigersThere's been growing chatter about how players seem more alive in ISL colours than when donning the national jersey. And honestly, it's not a motivation problem. It's a system problem. When there's no consistent vision or identity, it's hard to build pride or urgency around the shirt. This is where a coach like Jamil stands out. He builds teams, not around individual brilliance, but around collective intent, discipline, and the right manager, India could stop being a team that plays by reaction and start being one that plays with Marquez's departure shouldn't just mark the end of a disappointing tenure. It should force Indian football to stop repeating old mistakes: outsourcing identity, sidelining local leagues, and relying on short-term flashes. This is a reset moment. The to-do list is long, but so is the more borrowed time. No more half-measures. Indian football needs a coach, a system, and a plan. In that exact order.- Ends

Shubman Gill channels his 'childhood' instincts to smash record double century
For Shubman Gill, the key to his historic double hundred at Lord's wasn't a new trick—but an old memory. The India skipper, who became the first Indian and Asian captain to score a Test double hundred in England, said returning to his childhood approach helped him rediscover his joy at the crease.'In this series, I tried to go back to my basics. I tried to bat like I used to in my childhood. I didn't think about having reached 35-40 runs or about playing long innings. I just wanted to enjoy my batting,' Gill told the host broadcaster after smashing 269 off 387 balls. His record-breaking innings powered India to 587 in the first innings of the second Test and broke multiple milestones along the way. It is now the highest Test score by an Indian on English soil, going past Sunil Gavaskar's 221 at The Oval in 1979, and also surpassed Virat Kohli's 254 as the highest by an Indian Test captain*. Also Read: Shubman Gill leads from the front, smashes maiden double century against England But behind the numbers was a cricketer who admitted he had lost something along the way. 'Sometimes, when you aren't scoring runs fluently, you stop enjoying your batting. You focus too much on the need to score runs. I felt I had lost that in my batting. I was so focused that I wasn't enjoying my batting as much.'Gill shared that post-IPL, he made technical changes to his game after a string of 30s and 40s without big conversions.'Yes, absolutely. I think at the end of the IPL and before this series, I worked a lot on this,' he said. Also Read: India vs England series opens with record-breaking Test viewership on JioHotstar 'I mainly worked on my initial movement and my setup. Before this, I felt my batting was going well. I was scoring 30-35-40 runs consistently in Test matches. But at some point, I was missing that peak concentration time. A lot of people say that when you focus too much, you sometimes miss your peak time.' Gill, who captained Gujarat Titans in IPL 2025, began red-ball preparation during the IPL itself, anticipating the technical shift required for the England series. 'Because the IPL setup, the white-ball setup, and what I wanted to do there were very different. So I thought that if I started my preparation from then itself, it would give me an edge when the time for the series came.'He admitted that switching formats isn't always smooth.'It is very difficult. Especially with the way T20 is played nowadays… it's easy to go from T20 to T20, but coming back from T20 to Tests is a bit difficult because you have been practising one way with your team and your instincts are tuned to that.''Controlling that and repeatedly telling your mind and body to adapt is challenging. That's why I started training for Tests during the IPL itself.' Recalling his conversation with team mentor Gautam Gambhir during tea on Day 1, Gill said: 'I came out and spoke to GG (Gautam Gambhir) Bhai. I told him, 'I'm not getting runs freely, even though I have a lot of shots in my armoury.' I also felt the ball was a bit soft… Still, my mindset was that if the wicket is good and I am set, no matter how long I bat, I shouldn't leave the match halfway.''In the last match, I learnt that under these conditions, there can be a collapse in the lower order at any time. So I tried to stay out there as long as I could.'At stumps on Day 2, England were 77/3, with India's pace unit putting the visitors on top. Gill underlined the team's bowling strategy moving forward.'I think once the ball gets a little old, it becomes difficult to take wickets. So, the more we consistently bowl in one area and frustrate their batsmen, the better it is for us.''We will try to make them score in only one area… I think our bowlers executed their plans really well.''(The pitch) doesn't have a lot for bowlers, but enough that if a batsman tries too hard, there are chances of getting out… We will try to frustrate them and not give them the opportunity to score.'\ (With inputs from PTI)

Latest LIVE: PM Modi arrives to grand reception in Trinidad & Tobago, meets Indian diaspora
Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his first official visit to Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday (local time), where he was accorded a ceremonial Guard of Honour at Piarco International Airport. He was received by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, along with 38 ministers and four Members of Parliament from the Caribbean nation. This marks Modi's first visit to Trinidad and Tobago as Prime Minister, and the first bilateral visit by an Indian Prime Minister to the country since 1999. The visit is taking place at the invitation of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. During his two-day visit from July 3 to 4, Modi is scheduled to meet President Christine Carla Kangaloo and Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar to further strengthen bilateral ties. Torrential rains have once again disrupted life across Himachal Pradesh, leaving more than 37 people dead and causing property damage worth over ₹400 crore, according to the State Disaster Management Authority. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a rain alert for the state until July 7, as monsoon showers continue to lash several regions. Officials from the Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority and the Revenue Department said the state has recorded losses exceeding ₹400 crore due to relentless rainfall. Rescue, relief, and search operations are in full swing, particularly in Mandi district, which remains the worst affected. Several roads in the region are blocked, and essential services have been disrupted. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has barred US-based trading firm Jane Street from accessing Indian securities markets for alleged manipulation. In an interim order, Sebi also directed the high-frequency trading firm to disgorge ₹4,844 crore in 'unlawful' gains. The ban will remain in effect until the firm complies with the order to surrender the alleged illegal profits. Sebi's investigation found that Jane Street was responsible for a substantial share of net buying in the 12 Bank Nifty component stocks and their futures. This 'burst of buying' was aimed at influencing the prices of these securities, enabling the firm to take significantly larger and more profitable positions in the highly liquid index options segment.
