Before the start of the World Cup, ICC introduced a new rule asking the teams to sport home and away jerseys in the tournament.
The Indian cricket team might not be seen in their trade mark blue colour jersey as the side will sport orange colour. In their upcoming match against England in the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019,England and Wales.
Indian players will wear their away kit in the match against England on June 30.
“Colour options were given to BCCI and they chose the colour combination that looked the best to them. The whole idea is to be different from blue as England also wears the same shade of blue as India,” an ICC source told ANI.
“Also the design (orange) is taken from India’s old T20 jersey which had orange in it. The designers who are sitting in the USA designed this jersey from something that already existed. And not something completely new that fans don’t identify with,” the source added.
Before the start of the World Cup, ICC introduced a new rule asking the teams to sport home and away jerseys in the tournament.
The ICC rule reads: “For televised ICC events all participating teams will be required to provide for two different coloured kits, except for the host country who has preference in the choice of colour and may, if it chooses to do so, provide only one coloured kit to be worn in all matches throughout the event. In advance of the event, the teams will be notified which coloured kit will be worn in each match.”
India will take on the West Indies in their next match in Manchester on June 27.
South Africa who generally sports green jersey with yellow shade, wore the reverse. Which was dominated by yellow with patches of green in the team’s match against Bangladesh.
Afghanistan who generally sports blue jersey, wore a jersey with more areas of red added to their blue jersey.
Australia (yellow), New Zealand (black) and West Indies (maroon) already have unique jerseys. And are hence exempted from having ‘away’ kits.
The Men in Blue will next take on England on June 30.

Gianluigi Buffon is heading back to his former club Juventus, where he played for 17 years.
Gianluigi Buffon joined Juventus from Parma for a then-world record fee of €52 million in 2001. He spent 17 years at Juventus. He has won nine Serie A titles, five Supercoppa Italiana titles and four Coppa Italia titles with Juventus, while he was a Champions League runner-up on three occasions. He had won seven Serie A in a row between 2012 and 2019, making 656 appearances for Juventus in total.
But last summer, Buffon made a shock move to PSG. In his 1 year at PSG he has won the Ligue 1 and Trophee des Champions. Two weeks ago, he has now revealed that after just one season at Paris Saint-Germain he was leaving for a new adventure.
There had been rumours that the veteran shot-stopper could potentially be going to Leeds or Porto. But Sky Sports Italia revealed that Buffon will return to the Old Lady to continue as a player.
Buffon’s agent Silvano Martina told Sport Mediaset: “It would be nice if this eventuality materialised. It may be that the Bianconeri thought of him in case [Mattia] Perin left. He’s 41 years old, but he’s still looking good. He likes to play football, he still wants to make himself available and test himself. If such an opportunity arose, he’d certainly appreciate it. It’d be nice if the deal went through, but the belly must grow before it gives birth to the baby.”
There were rumours that Buffon is holding out for wages that would put him on par with big-earning forward Cristiano Ronaldo. Martina rebuffed all the rumours by saying: “I’ve heard [reports] that Gigi will be the squad’s highest-paid player after Ronaldo. That’s nonsense.”
Buffon’s deal will be for one season, but he will be expected to take on another role at the club when he retires. The transfer is likely to be completed once Juventus move on their current back-up Mattia Perin, who has interest from Roma and Sevilla. The veteran stopper held Juventus’ No. 1 jersey for the entirety of his first stint but would be expected to serve as understudy to Wojciech Szczesny after he makes the return.
Gianluigi Buffon is one of the best goalkeepers of world football. He has won every title on country and club level, just the Champions League trophy has eluded him ever since. With Cristiano Ronaldo in their team, it may be Buffon’s best chance to get his hands on the Champions League trophy with Juventus.

Barcelona’s Jasper Cillessen and Andre Gomes have officially left the club on 26th June, as they have sealed their move to La Liga club Valencia and Premier League club Everton respectively.
Former AFC Ajax star Jasper Cillessen joined Barcelona in 2016 for a fee of €13million. Since then, he had been the club’s backup choice as a goalkeeper, behind Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
In the 2018-19 season, Cillessen made 11 appearances in total across various competitions but failed to impress as he conceded 13 goals, keeping only three clean sheets. Although he is only a secondary choice at Barca, he has been Netherlands starting goalkeeper for a few years now and recently led them all the way to the finals of the UEFA Nations League.
LATEST NEWS Agreement with @Everton for transfer of André Gomes More info: https://t.co/R8VPTbcGZN
Meanwhile, Gomes, who is a former Valencia player, joined Barca in 2016 for a fee of €37million. But the Portuguese midfielder failed to live up to expectations despite playing two full seasons with the team. Last year, he was loaned to Everton for €2.25million and in the subsequent 2018-19 season, he scored one goal and made two assists in 29 appearances for the Premier League side.

Today Realme 3 Pro gets a big update that enhances the usability of this amazing smartphone. Not only did the company push the June 2019 security update but also added some new features.
So the update includes:
Android Security Patch
The latest update includes the latest Android Security Patch Level for June 5th, 2019. If you have any other Android device, more or less every smartphone got the update today.
Swipe Gestures
One of the coolest thing that I always wanted is one of the main highlights of this update. Swipe gestures make navigation much smoother and simpler.
Just swipe across the previously opened apps and reopen them with ease. It can take time to habituate for those who haven’t used it before.
Lock Screen Magazine
A usual functionality if you have used an Oppo/Vivo/Mi devices, but Realme adds this to the Realme 3 Pro with this update.
Honestly I do not find it useful and also it consumes data everyday, but people might find the things fancy and love to swipe through new wallpapers on their lock screen everyday.
Realme Account function
Another key feature of this update is the inclusion of realme account, now you need to make a Realme account that will contain all your personal data and you can sign in with it on any Realme device to get all your info synced.
App Store & Game Center
If you have used an Oppo device earlier you might be very familiar with this functionality. As the name suggests, the store contains a bunch of apps and games which you can download from or update your apps through it.
Needless thing if you an ardent Play Store fan and the app & game store cannot be removed as well.
Theme Store
If you are someone who likes to change the wallpaper of your smartphone quite frequently then this can become a handful for you. Realme 3 Pro did have only a few pre-built wallpapers to choose from and rest had to be manually downloaded using other apps or web.
With the inclusion of the theme store, which borrows quite a lot of similarity to Oppo’s theme store, you can browse from a bunch of wallpapers and choose the best one for your Realme 3 Pro.
240fps Slow Motion videos
Realme 3 Pro always boasted for its 960fps super slow motion capturing capability. I personally disliked the fact that you only get two options for recording i.e. 960fps and 120fps, nothing in between.
So, with this update Realme has finally fixed this and added the 240fps slow motion functionality for those who need an accurate slow-mo video but not as slow as 960fps.
Which feature did you like the most tell us in the comments below… 🙂
David Silva has confirmed that the next season will be his final season after a hugely successful 10-year career at Manchester City.
David Silva joined Manchester City from Valencia in 2010 for £25million and went on to establish himself as one of the best midfielders of the game. The 33-year old is considered to be one of the greatest players in Manchester City’s history. He has helped them to win four Premier League titles as well as a brace of FA Cups and four EFL Cups.
Silva has confirmed that the 2019-20 season will be his last at Manchester City and he will not sign for another Premier League club once his City contract expires.
David Silva told reporters: “This is the last one. Ten years for me is enough. It’s the perfect time. Initially the club were talking about two years [contract] but I decided to sign another one so I finished at 10 years. It completes the cycle. It’s a nice round figure. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. So 10 years – that’s it!”
Manchester City completed a domestic clean sweep last season. They have successfully defended their Premier League title. But the Champions League title still eludes them. But Silva is not disappointed to have missed out on the Champions League. He said: “We haven’t been able to achieve that goal yet of winning the Champions League but if every year is like last season I would sign for it right now.”
Silva further added: “When I was a kid, I never thought I would achieve everything I have done, so I’m more than happy with what I have achieved in my 10 years at City. The respect people have shown me and the way people in Manchester have treated me has been unbelievable. That’s what I really like, the recognition they have given me. I’ve got a family now and it’s about priorities. I want to spend more time with the family. I’ve got another year at Manchester City so we will see what happens after that.”
David Silva has backed his teammate Phil Foden to replace him when he leaves Manchester City at the end of next season. He said about Foden: “He reminds me of myself when I was young.” Foden has made 38 appearances for City in the last two seasons and his performances have seen him earmarked as a star of the future.
Silva praised youngster Foden: “I’m sure he’s going to be a fantastic player. He’s a very nice man and he will be a good replacement for me. Apart from his natural skills, he’s a very competitive person. He always wants to win and that makes a very good footballer. When you’re young, you always ask people with experience. I’ve given him lots of advice, like how to move on the pitch. He’s taken the information in and he’s getting better day by day. He reminds me of myself when I was young — especially how he is as a person. He’s very quiet but always there, competing. He hates losing. The best advice I can give him is always stay calm. Whatever happens in football, the highs and lows, always keep calm.”
Silva also revealed his plan of ending his career at his hometown club Las Palmas but for that move to happen, they will have to seal promotion to LaLiga. He said: “I would love to finish my career in Las Palmas but football changes. Who knows? It depends on the team and the players. I cannot come here [to Las Palmas] to play in the second division with this team. But sometimes you need to give something, so I don’t know. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. Not China. I don’t know. My girlfriend decides for me!”

Ray Tracing has changed the way how today’s modern games are played, enabling richer colours and detailing. Shadows, reflections and other life-like features make the games more immersive.
NVIDIA brags for enabling this tech on their own expensive RTX GPUs. RTX enabled games to require intense graphics and years of development for the richer gaming experience.
So, not all modern games have this tech-enabled but at the E3 2019 NVIDIA announced 6 upcoming game titles that will feature this tech for the gamers. Excited to know them? Let’s check all of them out:
Cyberpunk 2077
This is the upcoming game that is driving people crazy with its unique concept and gameplay. It has been published by CD Projekt and is releasing for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on 16th April 2020.
Cyberpunk 2077 is being developed by CD Projekt Red, the same developers of the famous game – The Witcher 3. The game uses the REDengine 4 game engine.
Mark your calendars – Cyberpunk 2077, the open-world, action-adventure story from CD PROJEKT RED, is coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC April 16th, 2020. For even more in-depth coverage visit: https://www.gamespot.com/e3
The game has been adapted from the 1988 tabletop game Cyberpunk 2020, it is set fifty-seven years later in dystopian Night City, California, an open world with six distinct regions.
Cyberpunk 2077 is a role-playing video game which is played in the first-person perspective as V, a mercenary whose sex, hairstyles, face, body type, body modifications, background (nomad, street kid, or corporate) are customisable.
V’s clothing alters how interactions fare with non-player characters (NPCs), with whom they have the potential to form romantic and sexual relationships.
Stat categories include – Strength, Constitution, Intelligence, Reflex, Tech, and Cool — are malleable to the character classes that players assume, which are NetRunner (hacking), Techie (machinery), and Solo (combat).
The inclusion of the character Johnny Silverhand played by the famous actor Keanu Reeves has added a new spark to the game. This game has a lot of customizations and features that require a single article which we will surely make for you.
Control
The makers of Max Payne series have come up with a unique game named Control. The game has been developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. Control is set to release on 27th August 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
In the game, players fight against enemies using The Director’s Pistol, which is a firearm which can be transformed into different shapes. The pistol can also be upgraded to enhance its combat efficiency.
Control is the next game from Remedy, releasing August 27 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
In addition to that players will have access to various supernatural and telekinetic abilities. For instance, she can use debris to form a defensive shield and hurl objects towards enemies, using them as weapons.
Players can acquire Objects of Power by completing side quests or exploring the game’s world. They are items which can be used to unlock new skills, such as the ability for Jesse to levitate in the air.
Remedy added that the game is less linear than its previous games and that players would have plenty of opportunities to explore.
Watch Dogs: Legion
This is an upcoming Ubisoft title, a successor to the popular Watch Dog series. It is set to be released on March 6, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms.
Watch Dogs: Legion is an open world game and is playable from a third-person perspective. The game’s setting takes place within a London that has become a surveillance state and citizens are constantly monitored in their activities by Albion, a private security company that acts as the city’s law enforcement.
Watch the world premiere trailer of Watch Dogs: Legion. In the near future, London is facing its downfall: the people are being oppressed by an all-seeing surveillance state, private militaries control the streets, and a powerful crime syndicate is preying on the vulnerable.
Unlike the previous versions, Legion features the ability to control multiple characters within the game’s setting. Like GTA V you have to play various missions to recruit those characters.
Once a character is recruited into the player’s roster, they are assigned to one of three classes: combat, stealth or hacking.
Each of these class features its own set of tools and the ability to upgrade when a character levels up by completing missions and activities.
Players can even join a team of up to four players in cooperative gameplay, sharing progression between single-player and multiplayer modes. Interesting isn’t it?
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
A successor to the Wolfenstein game series – the Wolfenstein: Youngblood is all set to release on July 26, 2019. It will be made available to gamers for a wide range of platforms including Google Stadia, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
It is a first-person shooter game developed by MachineGames and Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks.
The next chapter in the Wolfenstein series will give you more nazi-killing goodness with a friend.
As the title suggests this game is to be played with 2 young ladies named Jess and Soph Blazkowicz, and you can play through any one of them.
An optional cooperative multiplayer mode has also been included in the game. The game is set in 1980, two decades after the events of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
In this alternate history, Nazi Germany won World War 2, Jessica and Sophia Blazkowicz, the twin daughters of B.J. Blazkowicz. They travel to Paris to look for their missing father and help the French Resistance liberate the country from Nazi.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Infinity Ward and Activision revealed a new reformed version Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the instalment of this popular gaming series is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 25.
This is a reboot of 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and it is likely to have 3 modes – the regular Campaign mode, new Multiplayer mode and a new co-op mode, which is bringing back Spec-ops.
Prepare to go dark, Modern Warfare® is back! The stakes have never been higher as players take on the role of lethal Tier One operators in a heart-racing saga that will affect the global balance of power.
The game will feature the return of Captain Price (portrayed by Barry Sloane rather than Billy Murray, who previously voiced him) from the previous Modern Warfare games; however, the character has been rebooted. One of the villains is a rogue Russian general inspired by Apocalypse Now‘s Colonel Kurtz.
The player controls Kyle Garrick, a former British Army officer, for the first half of the campaign and then shifts to Alex, a CIA agent, in the second half of the campaign.
The game has been polished and enhanced with Ray tracing and it looks stunning.
Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is an upcoming game developed by Hardsuit Labs and Studio Paradox Interactive. It is set to release in early 2020 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is the first choice-driven RPG game in the series all about vampires and vampire politics. The game is set in Seattle: from the dark alleys and buildings to the bright lights of the Pioneer Square, conveying a World of Darkness.
We saw an early look of Bloodlines 2 and learned from the developers why they brought the series back.
The main character here will be unwillingly turned into a vampire, and then gets involved in a war between the vampire clans. The key concept here is the Masquerade, which is a set of rules that allow vampires to survive among humans.
The game will start with a mass embrace that has many vampires being created all at once. The protagonist here will take on the role of one of these vampires, and will be welcomed into the world of the Masquerade by a fellow vampire.
The depth of the characters is immense in the game and a wrong decision in the game can affect you long hours.
Sources: Wikipedia and official game sites.
All these games will be enhanced using Ray tracing and this will ensure gamers to go for an RTX GPU. Gamers can enjoy intense graphics on these games and high levels of details that Ray tracing will give you.

Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 62 runs in Southampton on Monday to move into fifth place in the 10-team group stage.
They sit one point behind fourth-placed England, who face Australia today, in the race to seal a semi-final berth via a top-four finish.
Shakib’s 51 laid the foundations for Bangladesh to score 262-7.
Shakib’s 51 made him the leading scorer in this year’s World Cup on 476 runs.
Mushfiqur Rahum scored
The 32-year-old then ripped through the Afghan batting line-up with his career-best ODI figures of 5-29 from 10 overs — the best spell in this World Cup.
Shakib Al Hasan has set his sights on upsetting India.
Shakib Al Hasan knows India will be a tough side to beat but thinks his side has got the fire-power to do so.
“They (India) are the top side. They are someone who is looking at the title. So it’s not going to be easy, but having said that, we’ll give our best shot,” he told reporters.
“Experience will help, but experience is not the end of the world. We have to play our best cricket in order to be able to beat India.
Shakib is only the second player in World Cup history to take five wickets and hit a 50 in the same match after India’s Yuvraj Singh against Ireland in 2011.
It was another demonstration of the qualities that make him one of the world’s best all-rounders.
“Still two more important matches left, and hopefully more after that. First things first, we have a very important game coming up against India.”
Shakib benefited from coming into the World Cup fresh after his Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad hardly used him in this year’s competition.
“I did prepare well, but I never felt that I had a point to prove,” Shakib said.“I did everything I could do before the World Cup started for my preparation, and luckily it’s been helping me a lot.”
Shakib is the fastest to player to reach 6,000 runs and 200 wickets in ODIs, but helping Bangladesh into the semi-finals against the odds would eclipse even those impressive landmarks.

New AMD EPYC CPUs to feature 8 cores to 64 cores, the best model to cost $8K, while 56 Core Intel Xeon costs $25K-50K
Finally after a year of wait, AMD EPYC CPUs are going to be launched in the next quarter and we have got potential leaks regarding the upcoming server and data-centric based CPUs.
AMD at the Computex 2019 mentioned their 64-core EPYC CPUs to the press and showed how these CPUs ripped off Intel at incredibly lower prices. But the Red team never stated their lower core – even the 8 core EPYC Rome CPU.
Yes, an 8 core EPYC 7nm CPU exists and you get a lot of choice regarding core count: 8 core, 12 core, 16 core, 24 core, 32 core, 48 core and obviously the monstrous 64 core version.
The pricing of all these CPUs have been surfaced online and it seems these modern CPUs will be a lot cheaper than Intel’s counterparts. Also, there’s are many single socket version of these new CPUs abbreviated with a ‘P’ in the model name.
The top of the line EPYC 7742 has a TDP of 225W (64 cores/128 threads with a max clock speed of 3.4GHz) is likely to cost slightly under $8K.
On the other hand, the 7702P and 7702 EPYC 64-core CPUs have a lower 200W TDP and has been priced just at $7,215 and $4,955 respectively.
Credits: AnandTech
The power draw decreases with the number of cores and the max clock speeds ranges from 3.2 to 3.4 GHz. Also, each of these new EPYC Zen 2 CPUs is accompanied by a huge amount of cache memory.
This is amazing, especially when you get 64 Zen 2 cores for just $5,000! The competitor Intel’s 28-core Xeon Platinum 8280 costs a whopping $18K even though being half as powerful.
Credits: AnandTech
The recently announced Intel’s Xeon 9200 lineup with up to 56 cores is expected to cost you around $25K to $50K. The highest variant of the lineup – 14nm based 56-core Xeon Platinum 9282 has a pretty impressive boost clock of 3.8GHz but at the cost of 400W TDP which is almost double to that of AMD’s 64-core monster.
Another advantage that AMD’s Zen 2 architecture enjoys is the PCIe Gen 4.0 support that means these CPUs an enjoy higher bandwidth and increased transfer speeds and faster memory support.
The Xeon 9200 family comes with L3 cache of just 70-80 MB while the EPYC CPUs comes paired with up to 256 MB of huge cache memory.
Even the 32-core and 48-core EPYC Zen 2 variants will cost just $2.5K to $5K while Intel’s nearest competitor Intel Xeon Platinum 9221 with higher TDP of 250W will cost around $20K. Though the Intel one might just be a faster one at almost four times or eight times the price of AMD.
The lower end variants of 8/16/24 core EPYC Zen 2 CPUs start with price tag of just $650 and the 24-core 7402P costs just $1400. The older Xeon Platinum 8200 series with lower clock speeds and cache memory on the other hand starts with a hefty price tag of $3K.
So, if everything goes accordingly then the upcoming EPYC Zen 2 CPUs will destroy the server-end CPU market with its disruptive pricing and with its latest power efficient micro-architecture.
Companies and OEMs like Amazon, Microsoft, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Cisco and others are tying their hands with AMD to reform their servers with modern EPYC CPUs.
This is will be a great opportunity for AMD to snatch the Intel-dominated data-centric market by a good percentage to soar its already increasing stock.
