Allrounder James Neesham has lost his New Zealand contract as Michael Bracewell earns his first deal and Ajaz Patel returns to the 20-player list.In what is a largely stable group of players, there was a vacancy created by the retirement of Ross Taylor while Bracewell, who was recently included in the Test squad to tour England after making his international debut against Netherlands in March, effectively replaces Neesham.Neesham, who has not featured in Test cricket since 2017, played nine T20Is in the last 12 months, featuring in the T20 World Cup, making 92 runs in seven innings at a strike-rate of 135.29 and taking three wickets with an economy of 8.20.He last played an ODI in March 2021, where he took a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh, missing New Zealand’s only games since then – the three match series against Netherlands – due to his IPL deal.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

However, head coach Gary Stead said that the door was not closed on Neesham. After the IPL, where he has only played one match for Rajasthan Royals so far, he will head to England for a T20 Blast stint with Northamptonshire and could yet come into consideration for New Zealand’s upcoming limited-overs series.”It doesn’t mean that Jimmy Neesham won’t play for New Zealand again,” Stead said. “It’s the process of contracting, not the process of selection.”Bracewell’s contract caps an impressive rise for him over the last few months during which he has been called up to all three formats and named the Super Smash player of the season.Meanwhile, left-arm spinner Patel is back in the main group despite not featuring in the Test side since taking all 10 wickets in the innings against India.Related

“Finalising the list seems to get tougher by the year,” Stead said. “The busy international calendar means we’re calling on a wider base of talent these days and the likes of Michael Bracewell is testament to the depth of that talent.”Michael’s been consistently performing on the domestic circuit for seasons now and we certainly see him as an international prospect in all three formats.”It’s great to see Ajaz back on the list after narrowly missing out last season. His value as our leading red-ball spinner is clear and we’re excited to see the role he could play in the Test team going forward.”New Zealand’s Test squad departs for England at the weekend ahead of their three-Test series next month. That is followed by limited-overs series against Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands and West Indies which takes them through to August.

"Forget it" – Goldbridge fumes after Man Utd injury news on £250k-p/w star

Manchester United fan and social media presenter Mark Goldbridge has not taken well to the latest injury news coming out of Old Trafford, in what has emerged as the latest blow to Ruben Amorim.

Amorim's opening struggles at Old Trafford

After what appeared to be a promising start in charge of the club over the international break, Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Bournemouth left Manchester United 13th in the Premier League over Christmas, the first time in their history that they had spent the festive period in the bottom half of the table.

Since Amorim’s arrival, the Red Devils have won just twice in the Premier League (beating Everton and Manchester City), losing three times, though they have been more successful in the Europa League, picking up six points from six.

There are also off the pitch concerns, none more so than the future of top earner Marcus Rashford, who has been frozen out by Amorim and has publicly asked for a new challenge away from Old Trafford, which could lead to his January departure from the Theatre of Dreams.

One bright spark has been Amad Diallo, with the Ivorian forward stepping up into the first team and becoming a key figure either at wing-back or in attack for the Portuguese manager. But now, Amorim is set to be without another man he was hoping to count on.

Goldbridge left fuming after latest Man Utd injury

That comes as it has been revealed that midfield man Mason Mount is set to be sidelined until March with a serious hamstring injury. The former Chelsea man lasted just 12 minutes against Manchester City before having to be taken off, and was visibly upset with the situation.

Man Utd now "ready" to sign £42m star who has "very high" chance of leaving

This would be some coup…

ByBarney Lane Dec 24, 2024

Upon his arrival, Amorim singled out Mount as a potential key figure in the club’s revival, explaining: “Mason Mount. I have to tell you I love that kid. You can look in his eyes that he wants this so bad, and this is the most important thing for me. He played in this system (before), so it’s perfect for him. I have two positions for Mason Mount, so he should be very happy!”

However, the latest update has confirmed he will miss “several weeks” through injury once more, with suggestions that he may not return until March.

This was clearly too much for United influencer Goldbridge, who took to X to vent his frustrations, simply saying “forget it” after relaying the news.

Mount still has almost four years left to run on his £250,000 a week deal at Old Trafford, but is yet to be able to string together a series of performances to justify either his hefty transfer fee or wages since his arrival from Chelsea. Now sidelined again, he could be left behind in the new regime.

£120k-per-week Arsenal player decides to leave with West Ham approach made

West Ham United have made an approach to sign a player from Arsenal in the last week, following his decision to depart the Emirates Stadium.

Julen Lopetegui drops West Ham transfer hint for January

Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui has dropped a January transfer hint with the winter window now well underway, as injuries strike for crucial figureheads.

Jarrod Bowen has broken his foot and will be out for the foreseeable future, dealing a seismic blow to Lopetegui, who now ponders life without his club captain. The east Londoners take on Premier League champions Man City at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon, and it will be a difficult game to navigate minus the talismanic winger in their side.

Meanwhile, long-serving striker Michail Antonio has been discharged from hospital after suffering a horrific car crash in December last year, and the Jamaica international is expected to face a lengthy spell of rehabilitation before deciding whether he can play again.

“Unfortunately for us it is not going to be a few days,” said Lopetegui on Bowen’s injury.

“He was able to play 30 minutes with his injury, but now he has to rest and recover. Let’s see, but it is not good news for us. We are sure that Jarrod is going to try to make shorter the time that he recovers, because of his character. But it is true that he is going to be out in the next matches.

“Jarrod is one of our main players and our captain. But now we have to find solutions and it is the moment for other players to show that they are ready to help us.”

Newcastle defender Lloyd Kelly against Jarrod Bowen

When asked about the January window in his pre-Man City press conference, Lopetegui claimed that West Ham are “working” on potential new additions behind-the-scenes.

“It is true that we have these two important losses [Bowen and Antonio]. The club knows our needs and are working about [on] that,” said Lopetegui on West Ham signing players this month.

“We have to be focused in preparing for the next match against Manchester City, despite for sure the club is going to be working.”

There are reports that West Ham are targeting Real Sociedad forward Brais Mendez as an option, but it is believed they’re also thinking of reinforcing their back line.

West Ham make approach for Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney

According to The Boot Room and journalist Graeme Bailey, the Irons are keen admirers of Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney, who’s apparently decided to leave N5 in January.

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney.

Tierney is widely reported to be in pre-contract talks with Celtic, as his contract expires at the end of this season, but TBR write that the Scotland international is eager to quit Arsenal as early as this month.

They also claim West Ham have made an approach for Tierney in the last week. However, the £120,000-per-week defender has snubbed their interest, and ultimately favours a move back to former club Celtic above all as he continues talks with the Scottish champions.

Tierney made his first senior appearance for Arsenal in over a year during a 69-minute Carabao Cup cameo against Crystal Palace in late December, featuring in each of their last seven Premier League matchday squads, but his long-term future is certain to be away from north London.

Washington Sundar set to play for Lancashire this season

The India allrounder could feature in three County Championship games and the 50-overs Royal London Cup

Deivarayan Muthu and Matt Roller21-Jun-20223:29

Shastri: ‘Washington is going to be one of India’s premier all-format allrounders’

India allrounder Washington Sundar will turn out for Lancashire in county cricket this season, subject to fitness and visa clearance, ESPNcricinfo has learnt.Washington, 22, could be available for up to three County Championship games, from July, and the entire 50-overs Royal London Cup. He could become the second Indian to feature in English county cricket this season after Cheteshwar Pujara, who racked up 720 runs in eight innings at a stunning average of 120 for Sussex in division two. Shreyas Iyer had signed up as Lancashire’s overseas player for the Royal London Cup in 2021 but had to eventually pull out because of a shoulder injury.”I am extremely excited to play county cricket for the first time with Lancashire Cricket,” Washington Sundar said in a media statement from the county. “To play in English conditions will be a great experience for me and I can’t wait to play at Emirates Old Trafford.”I would like to thank both Lancashire Cricket and the BCCI for allowing this opportunity [to] happen and I’m looking forward to joining up with the squad next month.”Mark Chilton, Lancashire’s director of cricket performance, welcomed Washington into the set-up. “Washington is a multi-format all-rounder whose skills with both bat and ball will be a great addition for us in the Royal London Cup and County Championship this summer,” he said. “His international and IPL experiences will be invaluable in the development of our younger cricketers, many of whom he will be playing with during his stay. The addition of Washington is one that will excite our members and supporters, along with helping our continued push to bring silverware back to Emirates Old Trafford.”Lancashire are currently third on the County Championship division one points table, behind Surrey and Hampshire, with 108 points. They will resume red-ball cricket with a clash against Gloucestershire from June 26 after their Vitality Blast T20 games.Washington is currently working his way back from a hand injury at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. The red-ball games in England will be Washington’s first since he sustained a finger injury while playing a three-day tour game against a County Select XI in Chester-le-Street in July 2021. The injury had sidelined him from that England tour and the second leg of IPL 2021.Washington has suffered multiple setbacks because of injury and illness since last year. He was lined up to return to action for his state side Tamil Nadu in the 20-overs Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, but it is understood that the Indian team management had then warned Tamil Nadu against rushing him back into action.He then made a successful return in the 50-overs Vijay Hazare Trophy, taking 16 wickets in eight games at an economy rate of 4.77 in Tamil Nadu’s run to the final. It paved the way for his India white-ball return, for a three-match ODI series in South Africa, but he had to miss that after testing positive for Covid-19.Washington Sundar has suffered multiple injury setbacks in recent times•BCCI

Washington marked his comeback with all-round contributions at home in the ODI series against West Indies, but that was short-lived, too, as he sustained a hamstring injury ahead of the T20Is.More recently in IPL 2022, he hurt his webbing twice and played just nine games for Sunrisers Hyderabad, scoring 101 runs and claiming six wickets. The franchise’s head coach Tom Moody pointed out that the injuries to Washington and T Natarajan shook up the balance of the XI.Washington’s Lancashire gig will clash with the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), which kicks off on June 23 in Tirunelveli. Washington is with Salem Spartans in the TNPL, but it is understood that he did not take part in the side’s preparatory camp in Chennai.The red-ball games for Lancashire could be Washington’s opportunity to prove his form and fitness. While speaking on ESPNcricinfo’s analysis show T20 Time:Out during the IPL, Ravi Shastri, the former India coach, talked up Washington as a future all-format allrounder for India.”He is going to be one of India’s leading allrounders,” Shastri had said. “He is the future. You have [Ravindra] Jadeja today. Three years down the line, if Jadeja is still fit, he will play. There is Axar [Patel] around. But this guy is your premier allrounder across all three formats of the game. Hear what I am saying. Three formats of the game.”This guy is a serious cricketer. He is still very young, he has got to understand his own game, how good a player he is. Shot selection will come, especially for the white-ball format. [If he] works on his fitness so that he is not injury-prone, India have got a serious cricketer in him. Across all formats of the game. I think it is up to him really to do the hard yards on fitness. No excuse. He can’t depend on X, Y, Z. He has to look at himself in the mirror and say I want to work hard and I want to be the leading allrounder in Indian cricket over the next three years. And he can do it. Easy.”

Paulo Sousa critica imprensa após especulações de Jorge Jesus no Flamengo: 'Não me parece respeitoso'

MatériaMais Notícias

Mais uma vitória na Libertadores ajudou a amenizar o ambiente no Flamengo, que venceu o Talleres-ARG por 3 a 1, nesta terça-feira, pela segunda rodada do Grupo H da Libertadores, no qual lidera com 100% de aproveitamento. Paulo Sousa comentou sobre a atuação rubro-negra no Maracanã, viu evolução e se mostrou incomodado com parte da imprensa após especulações sobre uma hipotética volta de Jorge Jesus.

– Dentro de uma direcionalidade passional por um treinador A ou B, por um jogador A ou B, isso não me parece ser normal, que seja feita, não pelos torcedores, mas por vocês (imprensa). Não me parece respeitoso. Não estou falando em termos gerais, estou falando de uma pequena parte, infelizmente, mas faz parte do jogo, entendo perfeitamente. Mas a nós não afeta. Desde o início, deixamos claro nossa ideia de jogo. Desde início que vocês próprios interagiram, publicamente, pela qualidade do trabalho que vinha a se desenrolar, as ideias – disse, complementando:

– Em processos de construção, há momentos que os resultado não vêm, e parece que tudo que fizemos não é o melhor caminho. Mas o caminho todos nós conhecemos, e estamos trabalhando para estabilizar – afirmou Paulo Sousa, em entrevista coletiva no auditório do Maracanã.

A respeito do jogo em si, Paulo Sousa destacou o seguinte:

-Tivemos facilidade, sobretudo quando chegamos no 2 a 0. Isso fez com que a equipe baixasse a intensidade e perdesse mais bolas simples. Temos que reconhecer que todas as vezes que não finalizamos nossas ações e as distâncias entre as linhas mais avançadas e mais baixa nos fizeram sofrer nas transições. Sofremos um gol e demos expectativas ao adversário. Isso fez com que o nosso início do segundo tempo fosse mais impactante, mas fomos crescendo pouco a pouco, encontramos os espaços estratégicos e poderíamos ampliar este mesmo resultado.

O próximo jogo do Fla será contra o São Paulo, neste domingo, pela segunda rodada do Brasileiro, novamente no Maracanã. Pela Libertadores, volta a campo no dia 28 deste mês, contra o Universidad Católica, no Chile.

Avaliação do trabalho no Flamengo

– Os processos de construção têm momentos que parecem de estagnação, momentos que parecem mais rápidos, e isso eu percebo. O resultado implica muito na avaliação (externa). Mas em termos de dinâmica e processos de jogo, os conceitos estão lá. Nas finais contra o Fluminense, estivemos muito longe do que queremos fazer. Nos outros jogos, sempre esses conceitos estiveram lá, em uns melhores e outros piores. Em tempos de construção é natural isso acontecer.

Elogios e críticas a João Gomes

– É um jogador que tem uma característica ímpar no nosso elenco nas disputas de bola ofensivas e defensivas. É muito forte fisicamente. Tem que associar a dinâmica com bola mais rápidas, seja em passes curtos, médios e longos. É onde tem melhorar para se tornar um jogador de um nível bem mais elevado. Acreditamos e temos a ideia de criar dinâmicas que possam ajudá-lo.

Luke Hollman tilts see-saw contest fractionally in favour of Middlesex

Unbeaten 37 helps side to 177-run lead over Worcestershire

ECB Reporters Network12-Jul-2022

Luke Hollman went to stumps on 37 not out•Getty Images

Middlesex 188 and 180 for 6 (Hollman 37*, Pennington 3-37) lead Worcestershire 191 (Barnard 69, Roland-Jones 4-60) by 177 runsLuke Hollman’s unbeaten knock of 37 tilted a see-saw contest fractionally in Middlesex’s favour as they built a 177-run advantage against Worcestershire in their LV= Insurance County Championship match at Merchant Taylors’ School.Hollman – who top-scored with 62 in the first innings – shored up the lower order after Dillon Pennington’s three wickets had reduced his side to 139 for 6 second time around, extending that total by a further 41 at stumps.It sets up the prospect of an enticing finish on day three after Worcestershire had posted 191 to secure a wafer-thin three-run lead in their first innings, built around Ed Barnard’s undefeated 69.Toby Roland-Jones, who finished with figures of 4 for 60, then played a valuable role with the bat, keeping Hollman company at the crease until bad light brought play to a close.Resuming 88 behind, Worcestershire’s sixth-wicket pair progressed steadily through the opening half-hour and extended the partnership to 71 before a diving catch by Sam Robson in the slips accounted for Gareth Roderick (30).When Tim Murtagh had Joe Leach caught behind in the next over, the visitors still faced a deficit of 61 – but that was all but wiped out by Josh Baker, who dispatched Murtagh for consecutive cover boundaries and continued to go for his shots.Baker’s knock of 36 included six fours, with Roland-Jones also taking some punishment before he eventually had his man caught at midwicket by Jack Davies.Davies darted in to take a far trickier catch and remove Charlie Morris in Roland-Jones’ next over as the seamer quickly mopped up the Worcestershire tail by taking out Pennington’s off stump.Mark Stoneman restored Middlesex’s lead with the first ball of their second innings, nudging Leach to the boundary but his opening partnership with Sam Robson developed into a gritty one either side of lunch.Robson cut Barnard for four to lift the stand past 50, but Pennington immediately pegged Middlesex back with a double strike as Stoneman (27) top-edged a hook to long leg and Davies, fending one off to point, departed for a second-ball duck.Robson (35) eventually fell to a stunning return catch by Leach, flinging himself to his left to pull off a one-handed grab, while Baker removed Max Holden just before tea with a delivery that turned sharply to hit off stump.John Simpson announced his arrival at the crease by smashing Baker to the fence twice in succession, but the spinner returned after tea to trap Robbie White – who had battled hard for his 37 – leg before.Pennington prised out Simpson, taken low in the slips for a belligerent 26, before Hollman and Roland-Jones dug in to maintain Middlesex’s hopes of setting their opponents a tricky target in excess of 200.

ميدو عن تعيين الرمادي مدربًا لـ الزمالك: سيقدم كرة جميلة.. ولا يستطيع أحد التعرض لـ زيزو

علق أحمد حسام ميدو عضو اللجنة الفنية بنادي الزمالك، على رحيل جوزيه بيسيرو من منصب المدير الفني لفريق الكرة، وتعيين أيمن الرمادي بدلًا منه.

وكان مجلس إدارة الزمالك، قد أعلن في وقت سابق من اليوم، تعاقده رسميًا مع أيمن الرمادي لقيادة الفريق حتى نهاية الموسم الجاري، خلفًا للبرتغالي جوزيه بيسيرو الذي تم فسخ التعاقد معه بالتراضي.

وقال أحمد حسام ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “أون سبورت”: “أشكر بيسيرو على الفترة التي قضاها مع الزمالك، ولا يمكن تحميله الأخطاء بمفرده، والأزمة لم تكن في بيسيرو وحده، بل كانت هناك مشاكل في تكوين الفريق بسبب الغيابات، بالإضافة إلى أزمة زيزو”.

وتابع: “النتائج لم تخدم بيسيرو، ما أدى إلى انتهاء تجربته مع الزمالك، وقد أوصت لجنة التخطيط مجلس الإدارة بضرورة تغيير المدير الفني، ولدينا هدف مهم جدًا، وهو إنهاء الموسم بشكل جيد، ونحلم بتحقيق بطولة كأس مصر”.

وبسؤاله هل كنتَ من اختار الرمادي لتدريب الزمالك؟، أوضح: “هذا كلام عارٍ تمامًا من الصحة، كنا نبحث في أكثر من اتجاه، وكان من بينهم أيمن الرمادي، ونحن ندعمه بشكل كبير جدًا، ونقف إلى جانبه، ولدينا ثقة كبيرة بأنه سيقدم أداءً جيدًا في الفترة المقبلة، من خلال خبراته وشخصيته”.

واستطرد: “ثقتي كبيرة في أن أيمن الرمادي سيُقدّم كرة قدم جميلة مع الزمالك، وسيحقق نتائج جيدة، ونحن متفائلون بإنهاء الموسم بشكل جيد”.

وأضاف: “الاتفاق أن الرمادي سيستمر حتى نهاية الموسم، ونحن نثق في قدرته على تصحيح الأخطاء في الفترة المقبلة”.

وأكمل: “الرمادي، بالنسبة للاعبين، مدرب مقنع، وفي كل نادٍ تواجد فيه، قدم كرة قدم جيدة، ويدير المباريات الكبيرة بشكل جيد، وكلنا نقف خلف الجهاز الفني”.

وحول أزمة زيزو؟، أوضح: “ملف زيزو تحوّل إلى الجانب القانوني، ونحن مسؤولون عن جميع اللاعبين، وزيزو لا يزال لاعبًا في نادي الزمالك حتى الآن، ويتواجد يوميًا في النادي”.

وأشار: “لا يستطيع أحد أن يتعرض له، نحن نحترم عقودنا مع اللاعبين، سيحصل على جميع الحقوق والخدمات التي يحصل عليها أي لاعب محترف”.

وواصل: “لا يوجد شخص في مصر كان ليقبل بهذا المنصب إلا أنا، ونفس الأمر ينطبق على حازم إمام وعمرو الجنايني، رغم الظروف الصعبة التي يمر بها النادي، وعندما استلمنا المسؤولية، لم يكن هناك قطاع كرة منظم، ولا مناصب محددة، وكان كل شخص يعمل في اتجاه مختلف، فاضطررنا إلى أداء أدوار ليست من اختصاصنا”.

واختتم: “الفريق مبني بشكل خاطئ؛ عقود لاعبي الزمالك متفاوتة بشكل كبير جدًا، هناك لاعبون حصلوا على 60% من عقودهم، وآخرون لم يحصلوا إلا على 20%، وهناك تباين كبير في صرف نسب المستحقات، ودورنا الرئيسي هو التخطيط لقطاع كرة القدم في نادي الزمالك”.
