WADA Director, I&I, Günter Younger, said: 'WADA is happy to be in India for the third workshop of the Intelligence & Investigations Capability and Capacity Building Project in Asia and Oceania. We thank, in particular, NADA India and the Indian Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports for their hospitality and their efforts in hosting the two workshops.
'WADA is also grateful for the expertise and support provided by INTERPOL and Sport Integrity Australia, as we continue to strengthen ties between NADO I&I experts and law enforcement across Asia and Oceania.
'This week's training represents another positive step in the growth of the Global Anti-Doping Intelligence and Investigations Network. I am pleased with the progress we have made thus far in the region and have no doubt that it will make a marked impact in the protection of clean sport here and around the world.'
Along with identifying opportunities for collaboration between NADOs and law enforcement, the workshop focused on several I&I topics, namely:
Intelligence functions and investigative techniques;
Confidential source management;
Open-source research; and
Analytical and interviewing methods.
NADA India Director General, Mr. Anant Kumar, said: 'NADA India is honoured to have had the privilege of hosting this important workshop. The knowledge gained and the connections made throughout the training will go a long way in establishing Intelligence and Investigations capability and capacity in the region. NADA commends the participants who enthusiastically engaged with the content throughout the week, and we look forward to welcoming the next group from the Asian region to New Delhi in July for another workshop.'
The expansion of the project builds off the success of the I&I Capability and Capacity Building project in Europe that was carried out from 2022-2024. It involves anti-doping organizations (ADOs) and law enforcement agencies from every country in Asia and Oceania. Along with a second workshop in India in July, the final two training sessions will take place in Thailand in September and November.

'Plays aggressive doesn't mean he can't defend': India batting coach backs Rishabh Pant, hails Shubman Gill's growth since BGT
India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak (Pic credit: Sahil Malhotra/ in Leeds: India may have ended Day Two of the first Test at Headingley with the upper hand, but England's spirited resistance, led by Ollie Pope's unbeaten hundred, ensured that the contest remained finely poised. Scorecard: India vs England 1st Test Day 2 At stumps, England were 209 for 3 in reply to India's 471, still trailing by 262 runs. While Jasprit Bumrah 's class shone through with figures of 3 for 48 - including the scalps of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Joe Root - Pope's gritty, chance-filled knock of 100* off 131 balls held the Indian bowlers at bay. At the close, he found support in Harry Brook, who was unbeaten on nought at the close. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The day, however, belonged equally to the young Indian batting pair of Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant , whose efforts earlier set up the strong first innings total. Gill, in his first Test as captain, compiled a career-best 147, while Pant dazzled with a commanding 134. India's batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, speaking after the day's play, was generous in his praise for both. Poll Who do you think played the most crucial innings for India in their first Test against England? Shubman Gill Rishabh Pant Jasprit Bumrah Other 'After the Australia tour, Shubman Gill worked on certain things. The moment I saw him in the nets, I noticed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo A lot of credit to him for analysing and working on things,' Kotak said. He also addressed the late-order collapse, which saw India lose seven wickets for just 41 runs, admitting, 'It was a collapse. Batters also got out, we expected better but it can't happen.' Yashasvi Jaiswal credits Shubman Gill after maiden Test ton in England: 'I love it' Kotak was also quizzed about Pant's often-debated style of play, particularly given the keeper-batter's mix of caution and aggression in Leeds. 'Rishabh Pant gets criticised by who? Everyone has their own opinion,' Kotak said. 'Rishabh Pant makes his own plans. He decides and he bats. This innings was different. Because he plays aggressive doesn't mean he can't play defensive.' On the dropped catches, Kotak simply said, 'It normally doesn't happen…' Pope, who made the most of his reprieves, found a fan in his teammate Ben Duckett. 'Goosebumps when Ollie Pope got to a hundred! We are very glad for him,' Duckett said after the day's play. Reflecting on his own dismissal, Duckett was full of praise for Bumrah, who knocked him over with a searing delivery. 'Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler in the world. Extremely hard to face when he is coming down the hill with the lights on. We minimised the damage early on.' Duckett added, 'I don't know what's inside Pope's head. But he is strong and scoring a hundred against that attack… the hundred meant a lot to him and the dressing room as well.' With Pope's hundred keeping England in the contest and Bumrah continuing to trouble the batters, the Test is finely balanced heading into Day 3.

IND vs ENG: Drama at Headingley! Jasprit Bumrah denied wicket by shocking no-ball call
Jasprit Bumrah (Getty Images) NEW DELHI: It was a day when no Indian bowler toiled as relentlessly as Jasprit Bumrah . England, replying to India's formidable first-innings total of 471, ended Day 2 at 209/3 — all three wickets belonging to Bumrah. As always, when India needed a breakthrough, they turned to their premier pacer, and Bumrah delivered. Bumrah consistently created opportunities, but India failed to capitalise. Ben Duckett was dropped twice early in his innings and made the visitors pay with a fluent 62, before Bumrah finally uprooted his stumps in his second spell.

He went on to score a century. Bumrah returned late in the day to induce a false shot from Joe Root and then seemingly dismissed Harry Brook — only to be denied by a heartbreaking no-ball call. That drama unfolded in the final over of the day. Bumrah, searching for his fourth wicket, bowled a short delivery wide outside off. Brook attempted a pull, mistimed it horribly, and Mohammed Siraj sprinted in from short mid-wicket to complete a fantastic diving catch. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Best Life Starts Today Maximus Learn More Undo India celebrated, ready to walk off with the momentum — until third umpire intervention revealed Bumrah had overstepped.

IND vs ENG: DSP Mohammed Siraj turns detective! He grabs England batter's bat and inspects it during Headingley Test
NEW DELHI: Just as the drinks break was called on Day 2 of the first Test at Headingley Stadium in Leeds, , ever the character, walked up to the stumps and casually picked up an England batter's bat, inspecting it with curiosity. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Known not only for his fiery spells but also for his quirks, Siraj—who also holds a DSP post in Hyderabad—had beaten the bat on multiple occasions and extracted swing, but remained wicketless despite his spirited effort. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Earlier in the day, England clawed back into the contest with a superb bowling fightback led by pacer Josh Tongue, who finished with figures of 4 for 86. India, from a dominant position at 430/3 with both and on centuries, suffered a dramatic collapse, losing their last seven wickets for just 41 runs and being bowled out for 471. India resumed Day 2 on 395/3 and added 53 runs without loss before drinks. Gill and Pant continued their sublime form—Gill stroked a delightful cover drive off Woakes, while Pant peppered the boundaries off Brydon Carse and Shoaib Bashir. Pant moved into the 90s with a falling scoop and then launched Bashir for a one-handed six over midwicket to bring up a spectacular century off 146 balls. He celebrated with his signature somersault—an ode to his gymnastics training in his younger days. MLC 2025: Faf du Plessis on why cricket's American dream is just getting started Pant's onslaught continued with more sixes and boundaries, but the 209-run stand came to an end when Gill, attempting to reach his 150 in style, holed out to deep square leg for a classy 147. Karun Nair, making a long-awaited Test return after 3,011 days, fell for a duck—caught brilliantly by Ollie Pope. Pant, after scoring a scintillating 134, was eventually trapped lbw by a sharp nip-backer from Tongue. Shardul Thakur edged to the keeper on the stroke of lunch, as England walked off smiling. Post-lunch, Tongue cleaned up the tail with sharp reverse swing, dismissing Bumrah, Jadeja, and Prasidh Krishna, wrapping up India's innings swiftly within 23 minutes of the second session.
