Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi will not join Hampshire for their Twenty 20 season because of visa problems.
Afridi had been due to be available for all of Hampshire's T20 campaign, but will now miss it entirely.
The Royals have three group games remaining and will continue with the squad they have in place.
"We are deep into the 2012 competition and the side is settled so we don't feel it is right to change that now," said Hants manager Giles White.
Afridi enjoyed a highly successful stay with Hampshire in 2011, taking 17 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 11.17.
His efforts helped the side progress through the group stages unbeaten at home and ultimately to T20 finals day at Edgbaston.
Highlights from Afridi's 2011 campaign included taking his county-best bowling figures of 5-20 on his home debut against Gloucestershire, and an impressive knock of 80 in the semi-final against Somerset.
White added that the door was always open for Afridi to return in the future.
"The door is still open for him to return to Hampshire in future years should circumstances suit both parties.
"He obviously had a huge impact for us last year and has been missed."
The Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer EK THA TIGER's brand new theatrical trailer was out yesterday. The trailer looked pretty intriguing and got a roaring response from fans, netizens and people across all fraternity.
The teaser trailer of the film released on 11th May with YRF's ISHAQZAADE and was an instant rage both online and in cinemas. However, it only focused on Salman's action avatar and gave us a brief idea on Agent Tiger's (Salman's character) character sketch.
On the other hand, the second teaser that released yesterday showed us the appealing chemistry of Kat-Sallu, which obviously everybody is looking forward to watch. It has the blend of action, comedy, drama and romance and looks as a perfect entertainer.
Directed by Kabir Khan and Produced by Aditya Chopra, Yash Raj Films' romantic-thriller EK THA TIGER, will release in theatres worldwide on 15th August, 2012.
What is EK THA TIGER about?
This is a film about a story that became a legend, a story that is spoken about only in hushed whispers... a story that shook the very foundation of a dark world of intelligence and espionage... where there are shadows without faces. And where Governments fight shadow battles through soldiers of the unknown...
But like all reports that come out of this uncertain world... nobody will ever confirm those events...
This story is about an agent named TIGER...
It may or may not have happened...
She’s only 17.
The Social-Loco conference organized a hackathon event held June 16-17, sponsored by big brands like Home Depot.
Jayasekar entered, drawn by the prizes. She decided to develop a project organizer for the home-improvement chain as a Windows Phone app, because that was a special prize category.
She swept the event with her app, which made it easy for both novices and experienced gardeners to find materials for landscaping projects. (Those were originally separate prize categories; she developed a single app that addressed both audiences.)
But she barely made it to the conference to accept her prizes. After she found out she won, her mom had to drive her to San Francisco.
It was good timing: Because she was late, she got to present her winning app right before Emily White, Facebook’s director of mobile partnerships, was due to speak. They met backstage and White offered her a summer internship.
“Nive is amazing and I’m going to be working for her someday,” White said at the conference.
But here’s the thing, and it tells you everything you need to know about the war for talent in Silicon Valley right now: The recent graduate of Monta Vista High School in Cupertino, Calif., who’s headed to Carnegie Mellon University in the fall, wouldn’t say whether she’d taken Facebook up on the offer.
“The recruiting process is still going on,” she said.
Facebook couldn’t comment on where things stood.
Let’s review: A 17-year-old just got an internship offer from Facebook, on the spot after winning a programming contest. And she hasn’t decided whether she’s taking the job yet.
Meanwhile, she’s porting the app to Apple’s iOS devices and Android smartphones.

Mumbai, June 22 (IANS) The fire in the Maharashtra Mantralaya or secretariat which claimed two lives, and injured over a dozen more here continued Friday morning, with officials saying the blaze was under control but yet to be fully doused.
A major fire broke out Thursday afternoon in room 411 on the fourth floor and quickly spread, engulfing the three top floors of the six storied iconic Mantralaya building in the heart of South Mumbai.
Fire brigade and city disaster control cell officials said that efforts were on to douse the fire that continued Friday morning.
Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has ordered an inquiry by the Crime Branch into the incident to ascertain whether it was an accident, negligence or sabotage.
Although the rescue teams, comprising of the fire brigade, the police, an Indian Navy team and Force One commandoes and 41 fire tenders from Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, and other agencies, managed to evacuate and save the 65-odd people trapped on the upper floors, two dead bodies were recovered late in the evening.
Two charred bodies were recovered from outside Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's office on the sixth floor of the Mantralaya.
"Two dead bodies - both males - have been found outside an office on the sixth floor," a fire official said late Thursday.
Chavan, who held an emergency meeting Thursday evening, discussed the situation with other ministers and planned alternative arrangements for ministers to function till the situation normalised at the state government's administrative headquarters.
"A first-hand assessment of the situation arising out of the fire, the probable causes and precautionary measures to be undertaken for the future were discussed at the meeting," an official said.
The blaze, which badly gutted the three top floors, has virtually paralysed the functioning of several top political heads and bureaucrats of key departments including the Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister, Revenue, Tribal Welfare, Forests, Urban Development and Housing, Education, besides the offices of the state chief secretary, the State Disaster Management Cell.
A main control tower atop the Mantralaya which is linked to all the district headquarters in the state has also been damaged and rendered non-functional, besides damage to furniture and fittings, computers, original files and documents of various departments pertaining to important official decisions.
While most ministers and top officials have small offices in government's administrative headquarters, there could be security related issues as some 1,500 men and women work in the landmark building, which gets an equal number of visitors every day.
"It will allow the players to mentally prepare themselves for the challenge and plan ahead. I think any more delay will affect our preparations," the Daily Times quoted Afridi, as saying.

Afridi also said newly appointed captain, Mohammad Hafeez, would learn the art of captaincy with time.
"Every new captain goes through a learning process. Hafeez also has to go through it and learn. I was able to give my best as captain after going through a phase. Every captain becomes successful after learning with time," he said.
"Whereas passenger traffic has seen a downward swing in May 2012 over the corresponding period of last month, the airfares have seen a disproportionate spurt," the statement said.
"Airlines have been directed to address the above issues in a time bound manner," the statement, issued after a meeting of the sector's regulator and chief executives of local airlines, said.
