Probably Bangladesh’s best player ever Shakib Al Hasan is again on the news for the wrong reasons yet again. This time he has been suspended for 4 matches after arguing with an umpire regarding an LBW decision.
The above mentioned took place in a match between Mohameddan Sporting Club and Abhani limited.
Shakib Al Hasan reportedly appealed for an LBW and when the decision was not out, the senior player just lost his cool and kicked the stumps and then started arguing with the umpire.
If this was not enough he also got in a fight with the coach of the opposite side Khaled Mahmud who is also the director of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
For someone who’s one of the best players from his country this reaction from Shakib Al Hasan is shocking. Shakib is a role model for many pic.twitter.com/cNxjfU5sd3
However, later on, the former Bangladesh captain apologized to everyone via Facebook and said “I am extremely sorry for losing my temper and ruining the match for everyone and especially those who are watching from home. An experienced player like me should not have reacted that way but sometimes against all odds it happens, unfortunately.”
This incident went viral all over the internet and some of the famous cricketers including Virender Sehwag and Lisa Sthalekar have reacted to this.
Shakib’s suspension has been confirmed by Mohameddan Sporting club and he is all set to miss the 8th,9th,10th and the 11th round of the ongoing tournament.
The former Bangladesh captain already landed in trouble in 2019 due to some corruption problems and has been banned for 2 years already.
The people of Bangladesh look up to him as a role model and would expect better behaviour from his side.
Ubisoft has just announced the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla expansion, i.e. Siege of Paris expansion, during its Ubisoft Forward E3 2021 event. This will be a great addition to the already superb part 1 of the game announced last year, announcing the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s own Discovery Tour.
This second year of DLC content adds a new region, Francia, and re-creates the titular Viking battle. But the scope expands far beyond the future City of Lights, as Eivor undertakes new quests and forges alliances across the French countryside.
Not only new areas, but also you will get new weapons, gear, skills, enemy types, and abilities, including Golden Flame sticky bombs. The new expansion will re-introduce Black Box Infiltration missions to the series, meaning it will give you a goal to accomplish like a target to eliminate – and then give you free rein to decide the best way to accomplish it.
To the south, the kingdom of Francia has unified under a single king for the first time in a hundred years. Charles the Fat, the great-grandson of Charlemagne, now wages a slow war against the Norse in Francia. England could be next. Ravensthorpe must make new allies in Francia to avoid the threat of war. A visitor will arrive at Ravensthorpe’s dock to launch the adventure.
The Siege of Paris will be available as part of the Season Pass (included in the Gold and Ultimate Editions of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla), or as a separate purchase.
You can also check out the new Discovery Tour: Viking Age that will be made available for all Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players this fall:
Continuing in the tradition set by Discovery Tour: Ancient Egypt and Discovery Tour: Ancient Greece, this new educational expansion will turn the game’s world into a nonviolent, interactive learning experience designed in close collaboration with historians and archaeologists. By stepping into the shoes of different characters from the era, you will take part in their big and small adventures while learning more about their daily lives and the history of ninth-century Norway and England.
Few people are aware that Yuzvendra Chahal, India’s star white-ball leg-spinner, was a talented chess player at a young age, and has represented India at junior levels. However, this time around, he has a tough task at his hands. The Royal Challengers Bangalore spinner takes on triple world chess champion Vishwanathan Anand in a charity match to collect funds for COVID-19 relief. Yzuvendra’s wife, Dhanashree Verma Chahal, turned to Instagram to spread the word.
Viswanathan Anand will meet Yuzvendra Chahal in a series of exhibition face-off organized by Akshaya Patra Foundations. They are in partnership with Chess.com India, and Prachura Padakannaya, the CEO of Xcetra Talent Management as part of the ‘Checkmate COVID Celebrity Edition’ project.
Except for the game with Yuzvendra Chahal, Viswanathan Anand is scheduled to be up against Bollywood actors Aamir Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, Kannada film star Kiccha Sudeep, along with singer Arijit Singh. Song-writer Ananya Birla, Xiaomi India’s MD Manu Kumar Jain, Zerodha’s co-founder Nikhil Kamath, and film producer Sajid Nadiadwala, and Prachura Padakannaya are also on the list.
The charity event said in a statement, “since March 2020, the Foundation has served over 128 million meals to people from vulnerable communities, who are facing difficulty arranging food for themselves due to the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures to curb the outbreak”.

Vishwanathan Anand updated his fans on Twitter after Dhanashree Verma broke the news to her fans. On Sunday, June 13 at 5 PM, the chess matches will be live-streamed on Chess.com’s YouTube channel. During the live stream, viewers can donate via the live chat.
The RCB spinner is at home as of now, but will go to Mumbai on June 14 to begin a 14-day quarantine in preparation for India’s tour to Sri Lanka. Beginning July 13, India will play three ODIs and as many T20 Internationals in Colombo. It will be a chance for Chahal, who has recently struggled with his form. With the ICC T20 World Cup just around the corner, he will be looking to reclaim his form.
Finland defeated Denmark in their first-ever match in the European Championship, beating the hosts 1-0. Joel Pohjanpalo scored the only goal of the match with the country’s first shot on Kasper Schmeichel’s goal. The player beat Schmeichel from a close-range header, and even though the keeper got a hand to it, the velocity was too fast to keep out.
The beginning of the tournament was an emotional rollercoaster for both teams. Christian Eriksen collapsed face first right before halftime, and medics had to rush on to take care of him. His teammates formed a circle around the playmaker as he received CPR from the medics.
The scene as Denmark's players returned to the pitch to applause from the Finland team.
Eriken reportedly suffered a heart attack, and was thankfully stretchered off the pitch conscious and stable.
The 29-year-old was rushed to a medical facility, and is now recovering and has continued to be in a stable condition. Play was suspended for about 90 minutes, and the match was resumed from the 42nd minute, with a 5 minute break for halftime.

Denmark had a plethora of chances following the break, much like the first half, but Lukas Hradecky put in a great shift to keep a clean sheet. The home team won a penalty in the second half as Yussuf Poulsen was tackled in the box. However, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was unable to convert, as Hradecky dived to his left to save an effort that lacked conviction.
The victory in Copenhagen is Finland’s first ever victory in their first appearance in the European Championship. And this makes the occasion all the more memorable for the away fans.
Ubisoft has rebranded its top-rated Rainbow Six Quarantine game to the new Rainbow Six Extraction, and its gameplay debuted during Ubisoft Forward. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, the game launches on September 16, and the best part about it is that it will feature both cross-play and cross-save across all platforms.
Rainbow Six Extraction is coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, the Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, and Stadia. The game will be available at no extra cost if you are subscribed to Ubisoft+, the Ubisoft subscription service, costing just $14.99 per month.
Or suppose you already own Rainbow Six Siege and purchase Rainbow Six Extraction. Its entire roster of 18 Operators will be unlocked for you in Rainbow Six Siege, along with a United Front cosmetic bundle for both games.
The game gives you a PvE co-op experience where you can team with up to two other players can form a squad composed of Rainbow Six Operators who have joined Ash, Mira, and Thermite to form the Rainbow Exogenous Analysis and Containment Team (REACT).
Here’s the entire description of the game:
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction is a 1 to 3-player cooperative tactical first-person shooter. Assemble your elite team of Rainbow Six operators to launch incursions into the unpredictable containment zones and discover the mysteries behind the lethal alien threat called the Archæns. Knowledge, cooperation, and a tactical approach are your best weapons. Band together and put everything on the line as you take on an unknown enemy.
CROSS-BENEFITS The game will support cross-play and cross-save between all platform families on day one. Owners of both Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction will instantly unlock the entire roster of 18 operators in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege and will get the United Front cosmetic bundles in both games.
LEAD ELITE RAINBOW SIX OPERATORS IN CO-OP OR SOLO PLAY Squad up and create a team of up to three Operators or go solo. Pick from 18 of the Rainbow Six Operators that are best adapted to survive incursions. Each Operator has a specific set of weapons, gadgets, and abilities to master. The uniqueness and different playstyles of each Operator allows for limitless options to customize your roster. Striking the right balance on your team will be the key to success.
Complete missions to level up your Operator, boost their stats, and gain access to new loadout options and powerful combat perks.
RISK IT ALL IN UNPREDICTABLE CONTAINMENT ZONES Set in four regions across the US, containment zones are dominated by the parasite, creating an unstable ecosystem within their walls. Incursions into these hot zones will challenge your team every time. Use gadgets and the Operators’ abilities to overcome the situation to accomplish your objectives, and above all, extract from the containment zone. With a selection of 12 uniquely designed maps featuring procedurally generated challenges, enemies, infestation, and increasing difficulty, the dangers are unpredictable, but the rewards are richer the deeper you go.
If an Operator fails to get to an extraction point, you and your team will have a choice: leave your Operator behind to push on for bigger rewards or head back to mount a daring rescue. Those who don’t make it will find their operator MIA, making them temporarily unavailable for future missions. The only means of recovering an MIA Operator is to extract them before the parasite takes them over completely.
FIGHT A LETHAL ANDEVOLVING ALIEN THREAT The Chimera parasite and its evolving Archæns are highly lethal sentient organisms that are consuming and reshaping the landscape. The Rainbow Exogenous Analysis & Containment Team (REACT) hopes to learn from this unique but deadly phenomenon, and you will count on teammates and your instincts to face 10 parasitic archetypes such as: the vicious Spiker, the elusive Tormentor, and the summoning Apex.
Survive the Sprawl, a flow of self-aware parasitic tissue that spreads over the containment zone and alters the ecosystem. Areas that were previously infested may be clear, while previously safe zones could be ravaged by the Sprawl and other deadly enemies. Work together to leverage the destruction technology from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege to reinforce walls against attacks or tear them down to create offensive opportunities.
This came like a surprise to everyone as Ubisoft made a big announcement of its upcoming game based on the famous Avatar movie. So, the ‘First Look Trailer’ for the Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, was released today during Ubisoft Forward.
It showcases the game footage powered by the latest iteration of the Snowdrop engine. The Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a first person, action-adventure experience game developed by Massive Entertainment – a Ubisoft studio. It will be developed in collaboration with Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney.
Obviously, the games look stunning and will be meant for next-gen consoles like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, as well as coming to cloud gaming services like Stadia, Amazon Luna, and obviously for Windows PC as well in 2022.
Here’s the official info about the game:
In this new, standalone, extension of the Avatar universe, you play as a Na’vi and embark on a journey across the Western Frontier, a never-before-seen part of Pandora. Explore a living and reactive world inhabited by unique creatures and new characters and push back the formidable RDA forces that threaten it.
The trailer begins with a first-person look at seemingly familiar, lush, and beautiful jungle scenery, before we encounter a Na’vi and their banshee overlooking a magnificent vista with Pandora’s signature floating mountains in the background. We then see what are revealed as new forms of life and regions of Pandora, along with some known Avatar fauna including hexapedes and direhorses. Of course, it wouldn’t be Pandora without an incredible display of bioluminescence, as woodsprites float past dense, radiant flora under the pale light of the gas giant, Polyphemus.
The trailer also gives a glimpse of a Na’vi community upon an open plain, before revealing a large Resources Development Administration (RDA) facility with an extensive selection of military equipment at its disposal, including the Amplified Mobility Platform (AMP suit), as well as Samson and Scorpion gunships. Be sure to check out what happens next by viewing the entire trailer above.
Arsenal have fallen down from their status of finishing in the top four regularly, and a new stat shows one of the reasons behind it.
Transfers are one of the main reasons behind the success of the big teams. All of the clubs winning silverware at the end of the campaign are somehow involved in the sale or purchase of players, which fans and pundits claim to be smart business at the end of the day.
However, Arsenal have not sold a single player for a profit since 2012. Among the last to be sold for more money than they were bought were Olivier Giroud and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Both were sold to Premier League rivals Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.
Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have finished 8th in both seasons that the Spaniard has been in charge. The former midfielder led his playing club to the 2020 FA Cup title against London rivals Chelsea. However, in both seasons, the team finished 8th in the league.
Arsenal will have to start investing smart going forward, and will have to try their best to acquire assets that can help them in the future as well. Academy products such as Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe are some of the names who could fit this criteria since both are tipped to have bright futures ahead of them.
So far, Arsenal have not announced their summer signings yet but are in the market for an attacking midfielder, a centre-back and a right-back.

Facebook recently have bought controlling interest in Oculus Studios who are currently developing a battleground survival game named Population: One.
Post the purchase of the studios Vice President of content at Facebook Reality labs Mike Verdu made a statement via a blog post “POP: ONE stormed onto the VR scene just nine months ago and has consistently ranked as one the top-performing titles on the Oculus platform, bringing together up to 24 people at a time to connect, play, and compete in a virtual world.”
“And while social is bringing players into POP: ONE, the quirky humor, continual updates, and pure fun of the environment keeps them coming back time and time again — we’ve even seen players scheduling time to meet in-game for a synchronous social experience.”
The title by Oculus studios has been quite a hit in VR gaming and has made $10 million in sales yet that too in just a few months. The title is currently available on Steam and the Oculus Store.
The developers have ensured the users that the title will continue receiving regular updates across all the platforms.
However, it is quite unsure what changes are about to come since Facebook have bought Oculus Studios.
A new version of Windows OS, Windows 11, is scheduled for launch later this year. Following this news, Microsoft announced that it will end support for Windows 10, 14th October 2025 onwards. This will also include the Windows 10 Home Pro and other Pro versions provided for Education and Workstations. An update on Microsoft’s official Windows 10 documentation included this information.
Microsoft to end Windows 10 support in 2025
Recent reports have said that a new version of Windows will be announced later this month, even though Windows 10 was supposed to be the last version of Windows ever. Microsoft had switched to a Windows-as-a-service model for the operating system with the current version, which meant that users would get over-the-air updates, like Android and iOS platforms.
Following other companies in the sector, Google and Apple, Windows has also decided to update its OS every year, putting new nomenclature. The new updates will include evolutionary changes to their feature sets. This means that Windows 11 isn’t the confirmed nomenclature.
Microsoft to end Windows 10 support in 2025
Windows has been recently experimenting with ARM chips. This makes the update reasonable too. Microsoft’s Surface-branded devices run on mobile chips. This creates a need for a different version of the OS to better suit such processors. The company also updated Windows 10 to support ARM.
We can also expect some tweaks in the user interface and newer features native to a particular version of the OS.
