Smith Dropped, Livingstone! In England's provisional T20 World Cup 2026 squad, Brook has been named captain.

Liam Livingstone and Jamie Smith are not included in England's provisional ICC T20 World Cup 2026 roster, which has Harry Brook as captain.



England's tentative team for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup, which will take place in India and Sri Lanka, has been made public by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

The exclusion of youthful prospect Jamie Smith and batting veteran Liam Livingstone from the squad has caused many cricket fans to take notice.
Harry Brook, however, has been appointed captain. With the exception of the most recent Ashes series, the batsman has enjoyed a rather impressive run this year in Test cricket.

Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Tom Banton, Jacob Bethell, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Josh Tongue, Luke Wood, and Harry Brook (C)

Additionally, this is the Three Lions' team for their next bilateral white ball series against Sri Lanka.

The Reasons Behind Today's Drop in ITC Share Price: The Effect of Government Tax Changes on the Stock

The price of ITC shares plummeted today, falling by about 10% in a single trading session. Many retail investors have taken notice of this abrupt decline, particularly since ITC is often seen as a reliable FMCG and dividend-paying investment. The primary cause of today's decline is a recent government ruling on cigarette taxes, which has an immediate impact on ITC's primary source of revenue. What led to today's decline in ITC stock?  A new cigarette excise tax has been announced by the Indian government and will take effect on February 1, 2026. In addition to the current GST, which is already nearly 40% on cigarettes, this excise fee will be assessed every 1,000 cigarette sticks. According to the notification, depending on the length of the cigarette, the excise duty varies from approximately ₹2,050 to ₹8,500 per 1,000 sticks. The total tax burden on cigarette makers is greatly increased as a result. This is on top of the 40% GST. The market responded poorly to this revela...

Dating in 2026: What Actually Works Anymore?

Dating in 2026 looks very different from just a decade ago. Rapid advances in technology, evolving cultural expectations, and a growing focus on mental health have reshaped how people approach relationships. While dating apps, AI matching tools, and social media continue to influence how connections begin, long-term success depends less on digital strategies and more on emotional awareness, authenticity, and intentional effort. One of the most noticeable shifts in modern dating is the demand for clarity. People are increasingly direct about their intentions, values, and boundaries from the beginning. Whether someone is looking for a committed relationship or a more casual connection, honesty is now viewed as a strength rather than a risk. This transparency helps reduce emotional fatigue, mismatched expectations, and the frustration that once defined modern dating culture.      @Images Source Gemini AI Another key factor in what works today is the prioritization of qualit...
