<p><em>~ With eight pre-signings finalised in advance, franchises had the opportunity to add between seven and ten players during the draft to form their complete squads ~</em></p>
<p>July 5, 2025: It was a landmark day for cricket in the USA as the teams assembled an exciting mix of international stars and emerging talents during the draft for the inaugural Super60 USA Tournament, held on Friday with prominent names like Martin Guptill, Wayne Parnell, Varun Aaron and Lendl Simmons making the headlines.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="197750" data-permalink="https://uaenews247.com/2025/07/06/martin-guptill-wayne-parnell-varun-aaron-among-big-picks-in-historic-super60-usa-tournament-draft/ss2-5/" data-orig-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss2.jpg" data-orig-size="608,794" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta='{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}' data-image-title="ss2" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss2.jpg?w=230" data-large-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss2.jpg?w=474" width="608" height="794" src="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss2.jpg?w=608" alt="" class="wp-image-197750"></figure>
<p>Teams had already locked in eight players as part of their pre-signings. In the draft, they were allowed to choose between seven to 10 more players.</p>
<p><span id="more-197746"></span></p>
<p>The LA Strikers had already secured big names like Aaron Finch, Isuru Udana, and Ben Dunk in their pre-signings. During the draft, they further strengthened their lineup by picking Gurkeerat Mann, a dynamic all-rounder known for his decent strike rate and handy off-spin. The franchise also brought in experienced wicketkeeper-batter Naman Ojha and seasoned medium-pacer Parvinder Awana, clearly aiming to build a well-rounded squad with depth in every department.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="197752" data-permalink="https://uaenews247.com/2025/07/06/martin-guptill-wayne-parnell-varun-aaron-among-big-picks-in-historic-super60-usa-tournament-draft/ss3-7/" data-orig-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss3.jpg" data-orig-size="608,794" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta='{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}' data-image-title="ss3" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss3.jpg?w=230" data-large-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss3.jpg?w=474" width="608" height="794" src="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss3.jpg?w=608" alt="" class="wp-image-197752"></figure>
<p>Morrisville Fighters put together a strong core by signing two of India’s finest bowlers — Harbhajan Singh and Munaf Patel. They further added fire power in the batting department with the signing of Shaun Marsh. The franchise continued to build on that solid base with the additions of powerful all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme, pacer Sheldon Cottrell, and experienced campaigner Faiz Fazal.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-attachment-id="197753" data-permalink="https://uaenews247.com/2025/07/06/martin-guptill-wayne-parnell-varun-aaron-among-big-picks-in-historic-super60-usa-tournament-draft/ss4-3/" data-orig-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss4.jpg" data-orig-size="608,794" data-comments-opened="0" data-image-meta='{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}' data-image-title="ss4" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss4.jpg?w=230" data-large-file="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss4.jpg?w=474" loading="lazy" width="608" height="794" src="https://uaenews247.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ss4.jpg?w=608" alt="" class="wp-image-197753"></figure>
<p>Rebel Warriors made a statement during the draft after they signed Martin Guptill and Lendl Simmons one after the other. The two batters are known for their aggressive and will play a massive role in providing a brisk start to the team. They also have Saurabh Tiwary whom they signed during the pre-signings to add more aggression in the batting department while the experience of Mitchell Johnson with the ball will be the key for Rebel’s success.</p>

<p>Chicago Players who already had legends in Suresh Raina and Jacques Kallis in their line up got Wayne Parnell, Varun Aaron and Devendra Bishoo to add more fuel to their bowling unit.</p>
<p>Detroit Falcons went into the draft with a clear game plan — to stack their squad with quality all-rounders. With Shakib Al Hasan already in the lineup, they added Mossaddek Hossain and Ariful Haque, two reliable performers with solid domestic records.</p>
<p>With Parthiv Patel, Chris Lynn, and Ravi Bopara in their batting lineup, the Washington Tigers have plenty of experience and firepower up top. On the bowling side, they’ll be counting on Abhimanyu Mithun, Dan Christian, and Shahbaz Nadeem to do the job with the ball and keep the opposition in check.</p>

<p><strong>Designer Pavitra Rajaram brings soul-stirring artistry to Dubai in a collection inspired by heritage, history, and heart.</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 3<sup>rd</sup> July 2025</strong>— Jaipur Rugs proudly announces the arrival of <em>Majnun</em> — an evocative and masterfully crafted rug collection by celebrated designer <strong>Pavitra Rajaram</strong>, now exclusively available at the <strong>Jaipur Rugs gallery in Alserkal Avenue, Dubai</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-197593"></span></p>
<p>A poetic tribute to those who are “besotted, crazy in love,” <em>Majnun</em> draws from historic design legacies across the Indian Subcontinent. The collection is inspired by the ancient Silk Route and the cultures of <strong>Persia, China, and India</strong>, reimagined for a global audience. Every rug is a celebration of craftsmanship, storytelling, and soulful imperfection—woven with intention and emotion.</p>
<p>The collection features a range of breathtaking designs that blend history, culture, and symbolism. <em>Arjumand</em> evokes the legendary romance of Layla and Majnun through celestial garden imagery rooted in Mughal and Chinese influences. <em>Sipahi</em> reflects India’s colonial past with a bold, folk-inspired depiction of post-1857 uniforms, adapted to an Indian narrative. <em>Bahaar</em> reimagines traditional hunting scenes as peaceful forest landscapes, emphasizing harmony with nature. <em>Sakya</em> draws from ancient Buddhist and Hindu literature, symbolizing strength and wisdom through the Cintamani motif. <em>Maryul</em>, meanwhile, is a vibrant synthesis of Yarkandi traditions, adorned with geometric motifs, Buddhist flowers, and Chinese clouds—all representing happiness and prosperity.</p>
<p>Drawing from centuries-old design traditions, the collection also features motifs like the Cintamaṇi—a historic symbol often associated with wisdom, power, and prosperity across Asian cultures. Traditionally represented by three dots and wave-like forms, the motif adds a layer of artistic meaning and timeless elegance to the rugs. Its presence in <em>Majnun</em> reflects the collection’s intent to blend aesthetic beauty with cultural storytelling.</p>
<p><strong>“Majnun is more than a collection—it is an emotion,” said Yogesh Chaudhary, Director of Jaipur Rugs.</strong><br />“It celebrates timeless love, ancient wisdom, and the extraordinary skill of our artisans. We’re thrilled to bring this collection to our gallery in Dubai, where design lovers can experience its magic up close.”</p>
<p><strong>The Majnun collection is now available at Jaipur Rugs, Alserkal Avenue, Dubai.</strong> Whether you’re a design aficionado, collector, or dreamer, this is an invitation to step into a world where stories are told through every knot and thread.

</ul>
<p><span id="more-197620"></span></p>
<p><strong>ELEVATE</strong>, the visionary lifestyle real estate brand launched in the UAE by global development firm One Group and <strong>Ennismore</strong>, the fastest-growing lifestyle and leisure hospitality company, has signed an agreement to introduce the region’s first-ever beachfront Mondrian residences in the UAE. The landmark <strong>$500 million project </strong>will be situated on the rapidly growing <strong>Al Marjan Island</strong>, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of branded living experiences on the island and in the region. The grand opening is anticipated to be in<strong> Q4 2028</strong>.</p>
<p>The signing took place between <strong>Zeeshan Shah, Founder & Chairman, ELEVATE</strong> and <strong>Louis Abboud, Regional Head of Lifestyle Collective IMEAT, Ennismore, </strong>in the presence of <strong>Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan</strong>.</p>
<p>This partnership unites the strengths of two globally respected leaders, collaborating to champion bold design, authentic community experiences, and purposeful living. <strong>ELEVATE </strong>is setting new benchmarks for intentional and design-forward living<strong>, </strong>rooted in the UAE with a deep understanding of the region’s evolving cultural and lifestyle ambitions. It offers the perfect counterpart: local insight, real estate expertise, and a vision for redefining modern luxury. <strong>Ennismore </strong>is a powerhouse in luxury lifestyle hospitality, comprising a collective of 16 globally celebrated brands and two F&B groups—including Delano, SLS, 25hours Hotels, SO/, and Rikas—as well as over 500 restaurants and bars. Together, the two are set to create transformative destinations that resonate far beyond the traditional hospitality model.</p>
<p>Commenting on the signing, <strong>Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan</strong> said: <em>“We are delighted to welcome the Mondrian Residences to Al Marjan Island as part of our ongoing commitment to elevating Marjan’s global stature, which is increasingly being famed as a lifestyle-led development. This collaboration between ELEVATE and Ennismore adds a new layer of depth and creativity to our growing portfolio of branded residences on the island. We are proud to welcome Mondrian Beach Residences</em><strong> </strong><em>to Al Marjan Island, which is slated to mark a global expansion for the hospitality giant, showcasing the draw and relevance of Marjan today”. </em></p>
<p>With this landmark project, <strong>ELEVATE</strong> reaffirms its long-term commitment to the UAE, supported by a <strong>$1 billion development pipeline scheduled for the next 12 months</strong>. As the newly launched lifestyle real estate brand from One Group, ELEVATE is setting out to redefine luxury living with its philosophy of living centered around five core pillars of Health, Wellness, Tribe, Purpose and Flowthat resonate with both modern residents and global investors.</p>
<p>Speaking on the collaboration, <strong>Zeeshaan Shah, Chairman of One Group and Founder & CEO of ELEVATE</strong>, shared his enthusiasm: “<em>We’re very proud to be bringing the first-ever beachfront Mondrian residences to the UAE in collaboration with Ennismore. We carefully selected Mondrian for this location as the brand is the epitome of what Marjan Island is becoming. Renowned for being at the forefront of lifestyle, art and culture, Mondrian’s are icon’s in every city they’re in whether it’s Los Angeles, Cannes or Ibiza and this will undoubtedly be the icon of Marjan Island”.</em></p>
<p>The <strong>Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences</strong> will deliver a five star hospitality-infused residential experience, featuring private beach access, signature design elements, wellness-centric amenities, and curated cultural programming. Residents can expect hotel-grade services with the privacy and ownership benefits of a home, making it a compelling investment for both lifestyle buyers and discerning investors.</p>
<p>Known for its avant-garde design and cultural relevance, <strong>Mondrian</strong> is one of Ennismore’s most iconic brands, celebrated for its progressive edge in art, fashion, and urban living. With flagship properties in cities such as Los Angeles, Mexico, Ibiza, Doha, Singapore, and Seoul, Mondrian’s branded residential arrival in the UAE signals a new era for luxury beachfront living.</p>
<p><strong>Louis Abboud, Regional Head of Lifestyle Collective IMEAT at Ennismore, said<em>, </em></strong><em>“We are excited to introduce this new and exciting Mondrian residential project to the UAE in collaboration with ELEVATE. Mondrian is a symbol of creative expression, and Al Marjan Island provides the perfect canvas. This development will bring our signature energy to a thriving new destination and redefine what modern beachfront living can feel like.”</em></p>
<p>To ensure every detail of the project reflects its exceptional vision, a world-class team of consultants has been carefully curated. Leading the architectural narrative is <strong>Gensler – the world’s largest architecture and design firm, headquartered in San Francisco</strong> – bringing global expertise and innovative design-thinking to the forefront. Complementing this is the <strong>acclaimed London-based Bergman Interiors</strong>, celebrated for their award-winning work across luxury hospitality, branded residences, and superyachts, adding a layer of bespoke sophistication to the interiors. Together, they infuse the development with a level of design excellence rarely seen in the region.</p>
<p>Backed by a global real estate transaction record exceeding $2.5 billion, One Group’s expansion into the UAE via ELEVATE is not just strategic – it’s personal. Shah, who began his career in the UAE nearly two decades ago, sees the country as a natural extension of the Group’s lifestyle-driven ethos. For ELEVATE, this launch is only the beginning of the UAE chapter. With several projects in the pipeline across the UAE, the brand is poised to redefine success and luxury, not by excess, but through purposeful design, community, and well-being.</p>
<p><strong>Concluding, Shah said,</strong> “This partnership marks our development debut in the region, and we are proud to start by setting a new benchmark in branded beachfront living. I’m deeply grateful to the trusted partners and supporters who stood by this vision from the start – your belief and commitment have been paramount in bringing it to life.”</p>
