Jharkhand keeper-batter Ishan Kishan's reluctance to play first-class cricket and focus only on the IPL could prompt the BCCI to make a minimum number of Ranji Trophy games mandatory for players in order to be eligible for the cash-rich league's lucrative auction pool. It has been learnt that BCCI brass has already instructed Kishan to play Jharkhand's last group league game against Rajasthan in Jamshedpur, starting February 16. The manner in which Kishan had skipped match after match after returning midway from South Africa tour citing «travel fatigue» hasn't exactly gone down well with men who matter in the Indian cricket establishment.

British empire — while the audience wonders whether some free snacks and free books could be finagled at the end of it. Quite often, they fail. Having attended three literature festivals this year back-to-back, I've concluded that it is possible to have a wonderful time once you've avoided crowds chasing unlikely heartthrob Sudha Murty and English thesaurus on the cheap Shashi Tharoor, the former actually requiring a bodyguard to protect her from demanding schoolchildren and college students (and one Narayana Murthy fan).
