The landscape of international women’s cricket continues to expand with unprecedented momentum, marked most recently by the auspicious arrival of the New Zealand Women’s ‘A’ Team on Sri Lankan soil. Touching down at the Bandaranaike International Airport on May 7, 2026, the visiting contingent was greeted with the warm hospitality that remains a hallmark of the island nation, signaling the commencement of a tour that is as strategically significant as it is historically groundbreaking. This particular excursion represents a pivotal juncture for New Zealand Cricket, as it constitutes the inaugural occasion upon which a Women’s ‘A’ side from the nation has embarked upon a comprehensive tour of the Asian continent, thereby facilitating a vital opportunity for emerging athletes to test their mettle within the demanding and distinct subcontinental conditions. The expedition, meticulously organised to foster developmental depth within the New Zealand ranks while providing high-quality competition for the host nation’s ...

The historic Nittawela Stadium in Kandy, a venue traditionally steeped in the rich heritage of Sri Lankan rugby, became the epicentre of an extraordinary display of sporting resilience and physical prowess on Sunday, 3rd of May 2026. In an encounter that was as physically demanding as it was emotionally charged, the Sri Lankan national side, affectionately known as the “Tuskers,” faced off against the New Zealand Under 85kg side in a match that served as the second leg of the prestigious Sir Graham Henry Trophy. Whilst the final scoreline of 25–10 in favour of the visitors might suggest a comfortable victory for the New Zealanders, it provides only a partial narrative of a contest defined by Sri Lankan grit, a capacity crowd’s fervour, and a disciplinary crisis that saw the New Zealanders reduced to thirteen men during the height of the second-half struggle. The Atmospheric Intensity of Nittawela Nittawela Stadium, ...

NASA’s Epic Flight, Trump’s Epic Fumble and Asian Dilemmas-by Rajan Philips Epic Crew (L-R): Jeremy Hansen, Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman Christina and Christina Koch Source:Island Three hours after the spectacular Artemis II flight launch in Florida, US President Donald Trump delivered a forlorn speech from Washington. Thirty three days after starting the war against Iran as Epic Fury, the President demonstrated on national and global televisions the Epic Fumble he has made out of his Middle East ‘excursion’. It was an April Fool’s Day speech, 20 minutes of incoherent rambling with the President looking bored, confused, disengaged and dispirited. He left no one wiser about what will come next, let alone what he might do next. There was more to April Fool’s Day this year in that it brought out the nation’s good, bad and the ugly, all in a day’s swoop. The good was the Artemis II flight carrying ...

Oil prices rise after ships attacked near Strait of Hormuz File photo of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, which has now ground to a halt [BBC] Source:Island Global oil prices have risen after at least three ships were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz, as Iran continues to launch strikes across the Middle East in response to ongoing attacks by the US and Israel. Two vessels have been struck, and an “unknown projectile” was reported to have “exploded in very close proximity” to a third, the UK Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) said. Iran has warned ships not to pass through the strait, which carries about 20% of the world’s oil and gas. International shipping has almost come to a standstill at the strait’s entrance, with analysts warning that a prolonged conflict could push energy prices even higher. In early trade in Asia on Monday, global oil prices jumped by more than 10% ...
