The World Cup began and ended with a bang, but amid the fireworks, it left a smokescreen of whispers in its wake—those of an unfortunate future. Restrictions on the movement of entire teams, strict policing and immigration checks of professional athletes, entire nations barred from even travelling.

India are coming off a dominant T20I World Cup campaign, but their new squad selection shows that they are doubling down on their winning formula: evolution. The intent is clear — eye a hat-trick of World Cup trophies, and reward merit over legacy. It is a reset based on form, role clarity and long-term planning.

The T20 World Cup is the most coveted prize in women’s cricket. For India, it has been its most persistent tormentor. Near-misses and heartbreaks have proved the pattern of India’s long pursuit of T20I glory. Despite coming painfully close on multiple occasions, the Women in Blue have never won the competition.

For the seventh edition of Ashoka’s sports fest ‘Agneepath’, Edict Sports decided to sit down and talk to members of the women’s football team including the current leadership, Priyanshi Singh (UG2023) and Sanjna Sridhar (UG2023) along with Nihar Roy (UG2024) and Susanna John (UG2024). After I had finished completing the set of interviews, I sat down, wondering how I could put down the stories and insights I had gleaned from my conversations onto paper for the A

Your football speaks for itself. An apt summary of the Ashoka Men’s Football Team. The AUMFC’s football certainly speaks for itself, and it does so in volumes, as they enter Agneepath with a record that is hard to ignore. Since their first gold at BITS Goa in March of 2025, the side has put together a brilliant run of tournament victories, kicking off the new academic year with a gold at BITS Pilani, then coming back to sweep the World University of Design’s Cult sports fes
