The Bangladesh cricketers went on strike on Monday, saying that they wouldn't take part in any cricket activity until their demands are addressed by their board. While their strike does put a question mark on their upcoming tour of India, BCCI President-elect Sourav Ganguly is confident that the players will sort the issue with the board and the series won't be affected.

The new trailer, which debuted during Monday night football, is destined to launch a thousand fan theories about what’s in store for us in just two months’ time and also marks the point where the promotional machine kicks into top gear, so expect practically every commercial break from now until December to be filled with wall-to-wall promo for Rise of Skywalker.
There’s a lot to talk about in this trailer, but the highlight has got to be that tantalizing tease of the Emperor, who looms large over the latest preview. How exactly he’s back and what he’s up to is still unclear, but this is without a doubt one of the film’s main draws and it’ll be fascinating to watch his arc unfold.
Of course, The Rise of Skywalker is far from the only thing that Star Wars fans have to look forward to over the next few months. November 12th will see the premiere episode of the hotly anticipated The Mandalorian land on Disney+. A group of lucky journalists got a preview of it at a recent promotional event already and their reactions indicate that it’ll live up to the high expectations. The eight-episode series will air weekly, with the season finale landing on December 27th.
The other big event over the next month is the release of the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game on November 15th. This is set between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and our own Shaan Joshi recently did a hands-on preview, pronouncing it “the game Star Wars fans have been waiting for.”
But all of that’s got to be merely an appetizer before Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker delivers the main course on December 20th. And, judging by what we’ve just seen in this trailer, it’s set to conclude the Skywalker saga in style.
The Skywalker saga that started more than 40 years ago in Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope is finally coming to an end, and the final trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker teases an epic conclusion. The trailer debuted tonight during ESPN’s Monday Night Football matchup between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets.
Landing a finale is often considered one of the most difficult feats in Hollywood, whether it’s a film franchise or TV series. The Rise of Skywalker, which sees the final battle between the Resistance and the First Order, will give the story a meaningful end, according to director J.J. Abrams. “We went into this thing knowing it has to be an ending. We’re not screwing around,” Abrams told Entertainment...
Former India captain and batting legend Sunil Gavaskar on Monday said that Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav kept it tight from both ends in the third and final Test against South Africa here, meaning the batsmen did not get easy runs.

For the first thirty years of the Star Wars saga, we had just six movies. Then, in the past half-decade, we got a further five. Given that, there’s always been a lot of debate around whether Lucasfilm has been producing too many films set in that galaxy far, far away since they were taken over by Disney. It’s something a few cast and crew members have touched on, too, and the latest is C-3PO star Anthony Daniels, who admits that the studio has “overfed” the fans.
While speaking to The Sunday Times at the BAFTA Cymru awards, the Star Wars veteran opened up about his feelings on the matter. “I think they did overstep the mark and got overenthusiastic,” said Daniels. “People became satiated. Star Wars went full tilt and overfed the audience.”
The amount of Star Wars films being made wasn’t initially too much of a problem, as Lucasfilm’s original strategy was to drop one movie every 12 months, alternating between an installment of the Sequel Trilogy and then an Anthology flick. However, the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story in May, just half a year after The Last Jedi, turned out to be a bad move, as the Han Solo prequel ended up being the lowest-grossing SW pic by a fair margin.
This has led to the effective cancellation of the Anthology series, with ideas for further movies being morphed into Disney Plus TV series instead – see: Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi show. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has since admitted they made a mistake with the Solo release and like Daniels, Mark Hamill is another person who felt they were at risk of inducing Star Wars fatigue in fans.
Of course, even if Disney has taken these opinions on board, the franchise isn’t about to slow down anytime soon. Trilogies for both Rian Johnson and D.B. Weiss and David Benioff are in the works, with Marvel’s Kevin Feige also developing a movie. The only thing is they’ll probably be more careful with their release schedule from now on.
