Rice traders demand flat export duty on parboiled rice
Rice exporters have requested the Centre for a flat export duty of USD 80 per tonne for parboiled rice instead of the current 20 per cent duty to smoothen trade, a top official of the rice exporters' umbrella body said on Sunday. The Indian Rice Exporters Federation (IREF) has also requested the government to reconsider its export ban on white rice which was imposed in July and reduction in the minimum export price for basmati rice to USD 850 per tonne to prevent negative impacts on both export volumes and farmers. On Friday, the government had extended the 20 per cent duty on parboiled rice exports until March 24.

New Zealand captain Kane Williamson fractures thumb, but won’t go home
Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the team's immediate World Cup matches with a fractured thumb, but head coach Gary Stead is optimistic the batter will be back in action at some stage of the tournament. After spending nearly seven months on the sidelines with a knee injury, Williamson made 78 not out in his return to action in the team's comprehensive victory against Bangladesh on Friday. The 33-year-old, however, was struck by a throw while running between the wickets during the match, which now makes him uncertain for the tournament. Tom Blundell will travel to India as cover, but Williamson will remain with the team with the hope of being available for the back end of group play next month, New Zealand Cricket said in a statement on Saturday. «Firstly, we're all feeling for Kane to have this occur after all his hard work to return from his knee injury,» Stead said. «While it's disappointing news, the initial diagnosis has given us some optimism he can still feature later in the pool play following a period of rest and rehabilitation. »Kane is clearly a massive part of our side and a world class player and captain — so we'll look to give him every opportunity we can to return in the tournament." Blundell was picked ahead of Henry Nicholls, who suffered a mild side-strain during a Plunket Shield warm-up match the week. «Tom's been with the one-day side on tours to Pakistan and Bangladesh and performed well,» Stead said. «He covers multiple positions in the batting order and his wicket-keeping skills are also an added bonus as a back-up.» The 2019 runners-up have kicked off their campaign for a maiden World Cup title with a hat-trick of victories.

World Cup: India 8-0 Pakistan
And, it was quite fitting that the man who did the most serious damage was one who has an allergy to hyperbole. Jasprit Bumrah sends down thunderbolts, laser-guided heat-seeking ones, but always with a smile. Bumrah is the one player in the world who rarely gets agitated on the field, and he’s such a sensitive character that he sometimes flinches when expletives are used in charged-up team meetings. But, don’t mistake that soft exterior for weakness.

India-Pakistan match: A little bit of green in a sea of blue
Mohammad Uzair and Asif Syed Ali were a rare sight in Ahmedabad — two Pakistan fans in an Indian dominated crowd of around 120,000 witnessing the biggest show in cricket. The friends had travelled from their homes in Houston for Saturday’s World Cup clash, vowing to match their counterparts “chant for chant”. The two joined Mohammad Basheer, also from the United States, as part of the small number of Pakistan fans at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the biggest cricket stadium in the world. Visa delays have denied virtually all Pakistan fans — especially from across the border — the chance to travel to India despite having World Cup match tickets. “All’s well that ends well,” said US passport holder Uzair. “Finally, we are here but how?
