HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A Houston woman discovered through social media that her husband was planning to remarry while still married to her, she told. Marcus Andra Shorten, 53, is facing a charge of bigamy, though he has not yet been arrested. Houston police found two marriage licenses for Shorten but no divorce decree, according to court records. “You can’t go around lying and misleading individuals for your own satisfaction,” said Tammie, who married Shorten in 2012 and requested that use only her first name. Tammie said the couple separated in 2019, but they never divorced because Shorten didn’t want…

Pakistan have managed to qualify for the 2026 T20 World Cup despite their dismal showing in the 2024 tournament, according to the International Cricket Council (ICC). Pakistan, the 2009 champions and runners-up in 2007 and 2022, made a swift exit after losing their first two matches from winnable positions. A stunning super-over humiliation at the hands of the United States was followed by a six-run loss to bitter rivals India in a game where they failed to chase down a paltry 120-run target. Subsequently, after rain distributed equal points in the match between Ireland and the USA, Pakistan were indirectly knocked out of a T20 World Cup tournament’s…
MUNICH: The Netherlands swept into their first European Championship quarter-final since 2008 as Donyell Malen scored twice in a 3-0 win over Romania in the last 16 on Tuesday. Cody Gakpo gave the Dutch an early lead but they were unable to convert pressure into a crucial second goal until the Liverpool forward set up Malen with seven minutes remaining in Munich. Romania were gritty but out-classed, lacking the quality to punish their opponents’ profligacy before Malen added his second on the counter in stoppage-time. The victory put the Oranje on course for a quarter-final clash with Turkey or Austria,…
KANSAS CITY: The United States crashed out of the Copa America on Monday after a 1-0 defeat to Uruguay, as Panama sealed their place in the quarter-finals with a 3-1 win over Bolivia. The tournament hosts suffered an upset 2-1 defeat to Panama last week and went into Monday’s final Group ‘C’ game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, needing to match or better Panama’s result against Bolivia to advance. But US coach Gregg Berhalter’s side never looked like doing enough to seriously threaten a well-drilled Uruguay who advanced to the last eight as group winners. “Just looking at the faces of…
LONDON: Marketa Vondrousova became the first defending women’s Wimbledon champion to lose in the first round for 30 years on Tuesday as Andy Murray ran out of time in his fitness race. Novak Djokovic barely broke sweat as he launched his bid for a record-equalling eighth men’s singles title and women’s top seed Iga Swiatek eased through. But it was a painful day for Czech sixth seed Vondrousova, whose time in the Wimbledon spotlight was cut short as she went down down 6-4, 6-2 to Spain’s unheralded Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in 66 minutes. Vondrousova is only the second defending champion to…
PESHAWAR: Criticism towards the Pakistan players is justified after the team’s disastrous exit from the recently-concluded T20 World Cup, top-order batter Mohammad Rizwan has said. In the T20 showpiece that ended with India being crowned the champions after their seven-run win against South Africa in the final on Saturday, Pakistan failed to make it past the first-round. Led by Babar Azam, who was reinstated as the national side’s captain at the expense of pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi’s short-lived tenure, Pakistan were stunned by co-hosts United States in the opening fixture before a batting collapse saw them face defeat against India in their second match. Wins against…
LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has called for a crucial meeting of its Board of Governors scheduled for July 6, marking its first gathering in Lahore in nearly four months. The foremost agenda item pertains to the approval of the financial budget for the fiscal year 2024-25, necessitated by the expiration of the previous budget on June 30, a procedural norm observed diligently. Notably absent from the agenda is any discussion regarding the recent lacklustre performance of the national cricket team in the recently-concluded T20 World Cup, as well as its showings in the recent series against New Zealand, Ireland, and England. Sources within the…
KARACHI: The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has advised all banks to facilitate the export of sugar but to ensure proceeds are received before shipments are exported. In a circular on Tuesday, the central bank said the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet has allowed the export of 150,000 tonnes of sugar with specific terms and conditions. The decision was taken just two days before the 2024-25 federal budget announcement. The decision to export sugar has political implications, leading to higher domestic market prices. In FY23, sugar export was permitted, resulting in an 80pc surge in domestic prices. The Pakistan Sugar…
