Every time I drive a Porsche, I’m immediately frustrated. It’s impossible not to sit in the perfectly considered cockpit of a car from the northern end of Stuttgart and stew about how it gets everything just right. Like how the steering column generously telescopes the wheel toward you in a carefully considered seating position (low, reclined, with plenty of thigh support.) Or how the interior is always fashionably austere and timelessly elegant. Then, once you’re on the road, how effortlessly correct everything is relative to almost every other car in its segment. Driving the refreshed and re-V-8'd 2024 Cayenne S is further proof of that concept. Stuttgart’s engineers could’ve easily phoned it in here; The Cayenne has been so good for so long. Instead, Porsche took the E3-generation Cayenne, did several thankless and invisible mechanical upgrades, subtly refreshed the interior, and critically, re-installed the V-8 in place of the disliked 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6. For an SUV, all of this effort seems bizarre. It’s a runabout, a practical object. Just give it some big screens, maybe some huge wheels, and make it spill-proof for the kids. So why go through the trouble of building a truly excellent, luxurious, and shockingly emotional SUV?It starts with the return of the V-8. Volkswagen Group’s 4.0-liter V-8 is one of the most prolifically produced engines in the world. It goes in just about every single premium model under the group’s vast umbrella: From the Audi A7 to the Lamborghini Urus, and even the Bentley Continental and Bentayga. Not only does it need to work as a powerful, somewhat efficient, emissions-friendly engine, but it also has to match a wide variety of brand personalities. Every variant I’ve driven of the 4.0-liter has felt distinct, similar only in the finest of details. Where the Audi RS7’s explosive 600-horsepower variant is a mid-range torque monster with a flatulent exhaust, the Bentley permutation is a dignified, muscular athlete. Then, the Urus is just a 657-horsepower knife-wielding murderer. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/724021/2024-porsche-cayenne-s-review/

Hardik Pandya smashed an unbeaten 50 to help India edge closer to a T20 World Cup semi-final spot after a convincing 50-run victory over Bangladesh in Antigua. India continued their unbeaten run in the tournament after their bowlers restricted Bangladesh to 146-8 chasing 197 for victory on a bouncy pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.Pandya (50no off 27) and Shivam Dube (34 off 24) shared an important 53-run stand in India's total of 196-5 as Bangladesh struggled against their flurry of boundaries having won the toss and elected to bowl.Bangladesh lost their final four wickets for 36 runs as India's bowlers backed up their batting performance with Kuldeep Yadav (3-19) finishing on a three-for and Jasprit Bumrah (2-13) taking two. Earlier, Shakib Al Hasan became the first bowler from any country to take 50 wickets in T20 World Cups after dismissing India's skipper Rohit Sharma (23).The win takes India to the top of the Group 1 table with four points and in sight of a World Cup semi-final spot, while Bangladesh drop to fourth place. Rohit Sharma's side are searching for a first T20 World Cup success since winning the inaugural tournament in 2007. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/13157125/bangladesh-vs-india-hardik-pandyas-50-helps-complete-comprehensive-50-run-victory-at-t20-world-cup

For decades, dietitians and nutritionists have prescribed meal plans and weight-loss diets based on our body mass index (BMI). However, there’s buzz about a new parameter that outperforms BMI – body roundness index (BRI). Indianexpress.com spoke to Dr Monica Goel, consultant physician at P D Hinduja Hospital and MRC, Mahim, Mumbai, to learn more about this anthropometric index. What’s a body roundness index (BRI)? “The body roundness index is a parameter that essentially helps to assess the visceral fat and adipose tissue present in the body. The formula for this index is: 364.2 − 365.5 × √(1 − [waist circumference in centimeters / 2π]2 / [0.5 × height in meters]2),” shared Goel.Why is it said to be better than BMI? “BRI is said to be a better risk predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which estimates the decade-long risk of potential cardiovascular problems, primarily a heart attack or a stroke,” said Goel.Goel emphasised that doctors can guide people to alter their lifestyle to maintain a healthy BRI. “This becomes especially important for individuals with comorbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or ischemic heart disease (IHD), generally characterised by myocardial ischemia, a condition where there is decreased oxygen supply to the heart,” she said.Goel also said that by finding out the BRI, it becomes easier to reduce the risk of mortality and complications from non-communicable and multifactorial causes. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/life-style/bri-weight-bmi-the-better-parameter-to-measure-your-body-composition-9385130/

Every week, there is an inner dialogue in my head about the column that I write. It usually becomes difficult to find a subject that is not too depressing. As it is, I have this reputation of being a pessimist. I have recently sought to soften this image by asserting that I am actually a cheerful pessimist. I cite the words of Antonio Gramsci, who is recognized as a great political strategist, in my defence. He was in prison when Mussolini held Italy under his thumb. Gramsci said: “My mind is pessimistic but my will is optimistic”. Perhaps it is too profound an expression for us. Our capacity to understand the state of affairs seems limited by the quality of debate in our talk shows and social media. It would be easy to shamelessly look the other way and find escape in trivial pursuits. But even comedy in the realm of current affairs is constrained to draw its references from the same socio-political situation that is potentially very disturbing. Besides, satire is not just more difficult, it is so much riskier in an environment of oppression and intolerance. One problem is that I do not want to write the same column, in different words, every week. There is some respite in the fact that new developments and events take place during the week and for journalistic reasons, I need to take the latest news into account. For that matter, the focus in my mind is likely to shift as the week progresses. Then, there are weeks when something big or shocking or grotesque happens within the scope of my deadline, something that overthrows all my thoughts about any prospective topic for my column. It may be something not unique in its composition but still be so big and devastating in its impact that it just cannot be ignored. And that is what happened on Thursday in the idyllic, almost heavenly, environs of Swat in northern Pakistan. I must say that, without any hint of exaggeration, this incident, even if it appears to be a replay of some of our previous nightmares, has shattered my nerves. I don’t know what to think or write about it. It is something that I just cannot contend with. Naturally, my column this week has to be about this unbearably barbaric and savage incident. Ever since I first learnt about it through a post on WhatsApp, I have been assailed by thoughts that I just cannot decipher. Isn’t this really too much, signaling the end of something or the beginning of something else? And what that something is? Do our rulers know what they stand guilty of? Now, I was talking about the options that I usually have when I decide to write my column. In a sense, this disclaimer of some kind was part of my hesitation to come straight to the lynching of a tourist in Madyan in the Swat valley on the allegation that he had committed blasphemy. Details of the incident are incredible, showing that the administration is incapable of dealing with an unruly mob, armed with its dark, primitive passions. A more graphic account of what the mob represented is not possible. What is being reported may not entirely be accurate. In any case, the person accused of blasphemy by a group of people was first handed over to the police. But the mob was able to get hold of him and set fire to the police station. Don’t even try to imagine what the mob did to the person and how his body was set on fire. Some social media visuals provide partial evidence of what happened. I have, of course, a lot to mention from what has been published in the newspapers and reported on the news channels. We have heard, on TV, some eyewitnesses. The officials have made their statements. The top functionaries have taken ‘notice’ of the incident, directing the relevant police officers to submit reports. A similar drill is being conducted by the religious leaders who are reminding us once again that what the mob did is in contravention of religious injunctions. In addition, the media has the opportunity to recall similar incidents in the past – and there are so many to be recalled. A few were even more gruesome, it may be argued. So, what does this mean? What did it matter when the high officials had solemnly stated that such mob behaviour would not be tolerated again? In the same vein, I am writing this column once again. I cannot but do this because this is my professional assignment. And I have to confess that I am not doing this well enough. The truth that exists on the ground is too complex to be reduced to a short opinion piece by a poor scribe. It is possible that the rulers, too, have no idea of what is happening to Pakistan beyond the political wrangling that some of us are diligently attending to. What about religious extremism? What about the barbarians at the gate? How can they who cannot deal with the street crime in Karachi and the ‘dakus’ in the ‘katcha’ area confront the mobs that are armed with their primitive passions? You may now have some sympathy for the choices I have to make when I write my column week after week. It is also obvious that sometimes I get to recycle my thoughts. There certainly are many issues and events that fall by the wayside, so to say. For example, I had to write about Karamat Ali, the labour rights activist who died on Thursday. He was a friend and a ‘fellow traveller’ on the prickly path of social activism. Karamat was a committed defender of human rights and social justice who also had the courage of his convictions. I also wanted to write about Franz Kafka, having been a part of a session on him at the Karachi Arts Council. https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/1202662-barbarians-in-our-midst

Inflection Point Ever since the Federal Reserve began jacking up interest rates more than two years ago, Chair Jerome Powell made clear that the central bank not only wanted to rein in skyrocketing inflation. It also wanted to restore some balance to a labor market where demand for workers coming out of the pandemic was far outstripping supply.At least on that latter score, Powell seems ready to declare “mission accomplished.” After the Fed held interest rates steady this month for its seventh straight meeting, Powell told reporters that labor market conditions had returned to about where they were on the eve of the pandemic. Thanks in part to a surge in immigration, the rebalancing has occurred without much of a rise in unemployment even as job openings have come down.Now, though, the labor market is reaching what Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius calls a potential “inflection point,” where a further material softening in demand for workers will hit job holders, not just job openings. That, in turn, could result in a significant rise in unemployment, according to Hatzius. That poses a bit of a dilemma for Powell and the Fed. With inflation still running markedly above the central bank’s 2% target, monetary policymakers are reticent about cutting rates just yet. Indeed, they penciled in just one rate reduction for 2024, according to the median forecast in projections released this month. That’s down from the three cuts in 2024 they foresaw in March. The labor market, meanwhile, is showing some signs of softness. Unemployment rose last month to its highest level in more than two years, though it remains historically low. Continuing claims by workers for unemployment insurance benefits have risen for seven straight weeks and stand just shy of their highest reading since the end of 2021. With the job market back to pre-pandemic levels, the danger is that the incipient weakness could turn into something far worse the longer the Fed keeps credit tight. The Best of Bloomberg Economics Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs would raise costs for consumers and weigh on American businesses. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said policymakers will be able to cut interest rates if inflation continues to cool as it did last month. Separately, former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said he expects the pace of US monetary policy easing to be slow. UK retail sales last month jumped at the strongest pace since January. Meanwhile, The “feel-good factor” UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hoped would materialize during his term in office may instead arrive just in time to benefit his opponent, the Labour leader Keir Starmer. Japan’s inflation accelerated on the back of rising energy costs, and key measures of the country’s manufacturing and service activity weakened. Polish policymaker Gabriela Maslowska said that neither interest rate cuts nor hikes could be ruled out. Need-to-Know Research China’s Central Bank Governor Pan Gongsheng gave economists plenty to digest with a big speech on Wednesday that hinted at plans to trade government bonds (though not for QE purposes) and move toward a single policy rate. Macquarie Group’s Chief China Economist Larry Hu also picked up on this line from Pan: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-06-21/world-economy-latest-us-jobs-at-inflection-point-poses-risks-for-powell?srnd=homepage-americas

Although there is the saying, "straight from the horse's mouth," it's impossible to get a horse to tell you if it's in pain or experiencing joy. Yet, its body will express the answer in its movements. To a trained eye, pain will manifest as a change in gait, or in the case of joy, the facial expressions of the animal could change. But what if we can automate this with AI? And what about AI models for cows, dogs, cats, or even mice?Automating animal behavior not only removes observer bias, but it helps humans more efficiently get to the right answer. A new study marks the beginning of a new chapter in posture analysis for behavioral phenotyping. Mackenzie Mathis' laboratory at EPFL has published a Nature Communications article describing a particularly effective new open-source tool that requires no human annotations to get the model to track animals. Named "SuperAnimal," it can automatically recognize, without human supervision, the location of "keypoints" (typically joints) in a whole range of animals—over 45 animal species—and even in mythical ones. "The current pipeline allows users to tailor deep learning models, but this then relies on human effort to identify keypoints on each animal to create a training set," explains Mathis. "This leads to duplicated labeling efforts across researchers and can lead to different semantic labels for the same keypoints, making merging data to train large foundation models very challenging. Our new method provides a new approach to standardize this process and train large-scale datasets. It also makes labeling 10 to 100 times more effective than current tools." The "SuperAnimal method" is an evolution of a pose estimation technique that Mathis' laboratory had already distributed under the name "DeepLabCut️." "Here, we have developed an algorithm capable of compiling a large set of annotations across databases and train the model to learn a harmonized language—we call this pre-training the foundation model," explains Shaokai Ye, a Ph.D. student researcher and first author of the study. "Then users can simply deploy our base model or fine-tune it on their own data, allowing for further customization if needed." These advances will make motion analysis much more accessible. "Veterinarians could be particularly interested, as well as those in biomedical research—especially when it comes to observing the behavior of laboratory mice. But it can go further," says Mathis, mentioning neuroscience and... athletes (canine or otherwise). Other species—birds, fish, and insects—are also within the scope of the model's next evolution. "We also will leverage these models in natural language interfaces to build even more accessible and next-generation tools. For example, Shaokai and I, along with our co-authors at EPFL, recently developed AmadeusGPT, published recently at NeurIPS, that allows for querying video data with written or spoken text." https://phys.org/news/2024-06-behavioral-analysis-animal-foundation.html

Historically, about 10 percent of Porsche Cayenne buyers go for the GTS. The model boasts a slightly younger customer—50 years old, versus 52 for the rest of the Cayenne lineup—and skews male by three to one. In other words, the GTS is preferred by dads who want to go fast. And with 493 horsepower and a 4.2-second zero-to-60 time, the new Cayenne GTS brings a little more speed to the party for 2025. The GTS is nearly the highest trim level in the 2025 Cayenne lineup, topped only by the outrageous 591-hp Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid and Turbo GT. The GTS uses Porsche’s twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8, making 40 more horsepower than the previous-gen GTS, along with 487 pound-feet of torque, an improvement of 30 lb-ft. For 2025, the GTS gets the water-cooled all-wheel-drive transfer case from the ridiculous 650-hp coupe-only Turbo GT, along with unique tuning for the adaptive air dampers, a 10-millimeter-lower ride height, and optional active roll bars.Porsche invited us to sample the new GTS on a three-hour drive through winding two-lane country roads north of the automaker’s US headquarters in Atlanta. Through the area’s rolling hills and up its mountain switchbacks, the freshly-tweaked SUV was utterly unflappable. The GTS gets an extra half-degree of negative camber up front thanks to a few Turbo GT chassis parts, and in the cabin, the GTS features a slightly smaller GT Sport steering wheel. You won’t learn terribly much about what’s going on underneath those 285/45R-21 front tires through the wheel, but the steering feels quick and precise, with a whiff of added steering effort over lower-trim Cayennes. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/723762/2025-porsche-cayenne-gts-first-drive-review/

England all-rounder Chris Woakes is to play in Warwickshire's next two County Championship games. It will be Woakes' first red-ball cricket in 10 months as he steps up his bid to be match fit for the forthcoming Test series against West Indies. The first Test starts at Lord's on 10 July, when England's record wicket-taker James Anderson is scheduled to make his final appearance. But, with Stuart Broad having retired last summer, Jofra Archer at the T20 World Cup and not scheduled to play any red-ball cricket this year, and Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton out injured, there is increased competition for places. The 48-times capped Woakes, 35, has not featured for England in Tests since his match-winning performance against Australia to ensure a 2-2 series draw in the Ashes last August - when he was also voted man of the series for his 19-wicket haul. He was part of England's under-performing team at the World Cup in India and Pakistan in November, played in four out of five games in the T20 series defeat by West Indies prior to Christmas, then played for Sharjah Warriors in the International League T20 in January and February. But Woakes was left out of England's T20 World Cup squad and, following the death of his father, he took some time out until returning to play in two Birmingham Bears T20 Blast matches last week. He has been rested for this week's two Bears T20 games on Thursday and Friday but now has a chance to further go through his paces in the Championship matches against Hampshire at Edgbaston on Sunday and at Taunton against Somerset, starting on 30 June. Woakes made the three most recent of his 99 first-class appearances for the Bears in May 2023 - but Sunday will be his 100th when he will be looking to add to his 364 wickets.The next two rounds of Championship come following three weeks of the Blast. That will then be followed by a 49-day break from red-ball cricket while the One-Day Cup is played before the Championship resumes on 22 August for its final five-week flourish. But, with that first Test just around the corner, there are a number of England players likely to appear this weekend on Championship duty. Anderson himself will almost certainly figure in at least one of Lancashire's next two games, while England Test skipper Ben Stokes is likely to appear for Durham, spinner Jack Leach for Somerset, wicketkeeper Ben Foakes for Surrey, and both Ollie Robinsons, for Durham and Sussex respectively. While the Durham version has hit 542 runs in six top-flight Championship matches this summer at an average of 77.42, the Sussex Robinson again bowled well in Thursday's T20 win over Kent. That prompted Sussex T20 skipper Tymal Mills to enthuse about both him and 29-year-old Archer, who has not played any red-ball cricket in over three years now but England still hope will be available for Test cricket in the future, having so far slotted back into the 20-over game following his long injury absences. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/cpvvrpzlrrdo

It’s winter, so many of us will be bringing out, or buying, winter bedding. But how much of a difference does your bedding make to your thermal comfort? Can a particular textile help you sleep? Is it wool, or other natural fibres, such as cotton? How about polyester? With so much choice, it’s easy to be confused.Here’s what we found when we reviewed the evidence — not just for winter, but also for the summer ahead. We rely on our bedding to maintain a comfortable temperature to help us sleep. And the right textiles can help regulate our body temperature and wick away moisture from sweat, promoting better sleep.In the cooler months, we’re mainly concerned about a textile’s insulation properties — keeping body heat in and the cold out. As the temperature climbs, we’re less concerned about insulation and more concerned about wicking away moisture from sweat. Another factor to consider is a textile’s breathability — how well it allows air to pass through it. A breathable textile helps keep you cool, by allowing warmth from your body to escape. It also helps keep you comfortable by preventing build-up of moisture. By releasing excess heat and moisture, a breathable textile makes it feel cooler and more comfortable against the skin.Different textiles have different properties Some textiles are better than others when it comes to insulation, wicking away moisture or breathability. For instance, cotton and wool have tiny air pockets that act as insulation to provide warmth in cold weather. Thicker fabrics with more air pockets tend to be warmer, softer and more breathable. But these factors are also affected by the type of fibre, the weave of the fabric and the manufacturing process. https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/life-style/why-cant-i-sleep-it-could-be-your-sheets-or-doona-9406912/

The deal, which will deepen relations between the two countries as they mark 50 years of diplomatic ties, was inked during a trip by Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday. The visit to Malaysia’s administrative capital Putrajaya was the last leg of a regional trip intended to expand China’s influence in the Asia Pacific as geopolitical tensions with the United States rise.“China is ready to work with Malaysia,” said Li as his host, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, rolled out the red carpet for his arrival the previous evening. “China is advancing Chinese modernisation on all fronts through high-quality development. Malaysia, on its part, is promoting national development …” Following private talks, the two leaders witnessed the signing of various pacts, including the economic and trade deal. Officials said that the pact would bolster links between industries in priority sectors like high-level manufacturing and the digital economy. Other agreements signed aim to promote investment in green development, combat transnational crime, and boost housing and urban development, higher education, people-to-people exchanges in science and technology, tourism and cultural cooperation, Anwar’s office said. ‘Glimmer of hope’ While trade topped the agenda publicly, Anwar’s comments ahead of the talks hinted at the geopolitical dimension. In an interview aired before Li’s visit, he told Chinese media that Malaysia planned to join the BRICS bloc of developing economies once it had received feedback from current chair South Africa on its expression of interest.He expressed support for the bloc’s Global South agenda, taking aim at a “Western narrative” on Israel’s war on Gaza, which he said focused excessively on Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel. The rise of China, he said, “brought us a glimmer of hope that there are checks and balances in the world”. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/19/china-and-malaysia-deepen-ties-with-renewed-economic-pact

In a second incident of animal cruelty in as many weeks in the country, a donkey (jennet) had its ears severed in a village in Rawalpindi district, with its owner accusing another man of committing the brutality but police suspecting that the incident could be the culmination of longstanding enmity and land dispute. According to first information report (FIR) filed 14 days after the incident took place at Rawat Police Station on Monday, a farmer named Tanveer Hussain, who is a resident of Dhakala Dakkhana, Saagri, stated that following the harvest of his last crop, the field was empty and so he let his donkey loose on his fields. The animal would return home to drink water everyday but it did not do so on June 4, he said. However, when it returned in the evening, Hussain noticed that its ears had been chopped off. The FIR stated that Hussain asked the locals about the perpetrator. and everyone pointed towards Arshad Mehmood, a member of Hussain’s family, although they were reluctant to name him explicitly due to fear. Hussain said he conducted his own investigation and found some evidence, which was handed over to the police. Despite the incident occurring 14 days prior, Hussain’s case was only registered recently, with station house officer (SHO) Chaudary Zulfiqar telling Dawn.com that no arrests have been made so far but the investigation was ongoing and a conclusion would be reached soon. Meanwhile, assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Chaudhry Farrukh Shahzad, who is investigating the case, said that the suspect had filed a murder case against the plaintiff in 2005, accusing Hussain of killing Arshad’s father. ASI Shahzad said that the “video evidence” submitted by the plaintiff only shows traces of blood outside the suspect’s residence, which he said was “insufficient to hold anyone guilty”. Additionally, ASI Shahzad noted that there were ongoing land disputes between the parties, with Arshad having won four out of thirteen cases. The accused, according to the ASI, is also suffering from back pain, which would make it difficult for him to pin down a donkey and cut off its ears. Shahzad described the incident as suspicious and confirmed that the investigation was being conducted to cover all angles. The case marks the second reported incident of animal mutilation in recent days. In an earlier case, a landlord chopped off a camel’s leg as punishment for foraging in his field in Sanghar. Six suspects were remanded in police custody by a magistrate in Shahdadpur on Sunday. https://www.dawn.com/news/1840554/donkeys-ears-severed-in-rawalpindi-district-in-another-case-of-animal-cruelty

McLaren's convertibles have always been a bit special. They look like they were part of the design plan from the beginning—often more stylish than their hardtop siblings. They also rarely suffer a performance penalty despite the extra weight a retractable roof adds. The 12C, 570S, 650S, 720S, and latest 750S Spiders (and their respective LTs) all look bang on, and you can hardly say they’re lacking in grunt. Now it's the Artura's turn. McLaren's first full-production hybrid gets the Spider treatment. Not only that, but it comes alongside a raft of changes for the whole Artura lineup, including more power.The star of the Spider show is undoubtedly its folding hardtop, A single-piece carbon composite panel or fancy electrochromic glass panel that does its thing in just eleven seconds.McLaren, to give as much rearward visibility as possible, has made the Artura’s flying buttresses see-through here as well. They look better than the solid ones on the coupe and are actually useful in traffic. If you, like McLaren, are worried about weight, the roof and its associated gubbins add 136 pounds, bringing the Spider’s total weight to 3,439 pounds. Roof aside, the Artura Spider’s biggest trick is its new power output: 690 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. It’s a pleasing bump from the original car’s 671 hp, and if you’ve already got an Artura on the way, McLaren will gladly give it the extra juice. If it seems odd that McLaren unlocked more power so soon after the car’s initial launch, remember that the 12C got the same treatment.Existing Artura customers may be jazzed with more power, but they might be a touch irked when they hear about the other upgrades. The 2025 Artura has stiffer engine mounts, quicker Proactive Damping Control, a 25% quicker eight-speed gearbox, new brake cooling ducts to keep your stoppers fresher longer, a more tuneful exhaust, and it comes with a ‘Spinning Wheel Pull-Away’ mode. That’s British for ‘Burnout all the things.’ Oh, and the stop/start button is now papaya orange, not red. https://www.motor1.com/reviews/723406/2025-mclaren-artura-spider-first-drive-review/

The PCB has threatened to pursue legal action after footage emerged of Pakistan bowler Haris Rauf embroiled in a heated exchange with a group of men. The video, which circulated social media channels on Tuesday, shows Rauf confronting some unidentified men neat the sidewalk while his wife and another man attempt to hold him back. The 30-year-old, who represents the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League, released a statement to Twitter later on Tuesday, insinuating the incident was caused by an insult directed towards his family. Get all the latest cricket news, highlights and analysis delivered straight to your inbox with Fox Sports Sportmail. Sign up now! “I decided not to bring this on social media, but now that the video is out, I feel it is necessary to address the situation,” Rauf wrote. “As public figures, we are open to receiving all kinds of feedback from the public.
