Vanuatu, nation of just 3 lakh makes its presence felt in International cricket
Vanuatu. Let’s be honest and there’s no shame here: you did not even know that this was a country. It’s a string of islands east of the northern part of Australia in the Pacific and its last recorded population was 3.27 lakh people. Of these about 50% are ruled out from this story by virtue of being male. Of the 1.6 lakh remaining, you can leave out another half on the basis that they would be either too young or old to make a cricket team. And so, from a potential pool of 80,000 (a generous estimate because not everyone is interested in one sport), emerges a team that was in contention for a berth in a World Cup comprising 10 teams from across the globe.

South Korea discusses joining part of AUKUS pact with US, UK and Australia
South Korea has held talks about joining part of the AUKUS defence deal between the U.S., Britain and Australia, Defence Minister Shin Won-sik said on Wednesday, only weeks after the pact said it would consider including Japan. Formed in 2021, AUKUS is a two-stage security pact to counteract China's growing power in the Asia Pacific region. While a first stage to give Australia nuclear submarine technology is limited to the core trio, they have raised the possibility of other countries joining a second stage, or «Pillar 2», that aims to share other military technology.
