India aim to continue winning run against Bangladesh
The Statesman

Iyer was out of action since the home series against Australia in March due to a back condition
Having already booked their place in the final of the ongoing Asia Cup, India will look to rest some of the key players and bring in the ones warming the bench so far, when the Menin-Blue takes the field in an inconsequential Super Four game against Bangladesh at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.
Among the most prominent names to be forced out of action is Shreyas Iyer, a last-minute exclusion from the first Super Four game against Pakistan, after he suffered back spasms moments before the toss on Sunday. He subsequently did not turn up at the stadium for the next match against Sri Lanka on Tuesday as the BCCI’s medical team advised him to rest.
On Thursday, India had scheduled an optional training session ahead of their last league game against Bangladesh, who are already knocked out of the tournament.

Dripping oil and blood
America has been a nation of moralisers since the days of Benjamin Franklin who would surely say that America did it for the good of Venezuela. Nevertheless, the truth is, armed with what is unmistakably the most feared and powerful war machine ever created, America has been the leading violator of international legality and prime perpetrator of international outlawry. Therefore, the apprehension and forced exile of Maduro being violative of international law and Article 2 of the UN Charter is of a piece with the character of an American administration regardless of its dispensation
