I’m out of comfort zone: Gary Stead on Andhra stint

Gary Stead understands that being the head coach of Andhra for the upcoming Ranji Trophy season places him outside his comfort zone, but the New Zealander believes that the challenge will widen his coaching knowledge base.

Stead, who guided New Zealand to the WTC title, T20 World Cup final in 2021, 2019 ODI World Cup final and 2025 Champions Trophy title clash, is now entrusted with the task of giving a fillip to Andhra cricket.

Unique setting of Delhi Golf Club to test top foreigners in DP World India Championship

When world No.2 Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, No. 5 Tommy Fleetwood of England, and several other top foreigners vie for the highest prize money ever offered in a golf tournament in India from October 16–19, they will have to “beat the bushes” — quite literally. The unique Delhi Golf Club (DGC) course is widely known for its dense bushes and resident wildlife that players must overcome besides their opponents in the $4 million DP World India Championship, the biggest event in Delhi since 2023.

The 72-hole DGC is a unique golf course known to pose challenges to foreigners, especially those turning up for the first time, like McIlroy and Fleetwood, who won silver at the 2024 ParisOlympics. The players will have to negotiate centuries-old historical monuments and the likes of snakes, nilgais (blue bulls), and peacocks while playing the drive and the chip etc. A wrong twist of the club may send the ball into the bushes, resulting in possible drop shots.
