In early January, Sri Lanka’s chief selector Sanath Jayasuriya recommended that Thisara Perera be denied the no-objection certificate for the Big Bash League. A month later, Thisara became Sri Lanka’s saviour in the first ODI after having already played a pivotal role in the 2-0 win in the preceding Twenty20 series.In the intervening time, he worked overtime in the nets back in Colombo and played two first-class matches for Colts. He believes the extra training helped him turn around his form, after he made only 13 runs in three ODIs against Pakistan in the UAE.”After the UAE tour, I had one-month period for training session,” Thisara said. “I worked hard with supporting staff in Sri Lanka. It was really helpful for me.”Jayasuriya was adamant that a stint in Australia playing Twenty20s would not help him progress as an allrounder, having used a similar treatment to rouse him out of a slump previously. “We are not giving him permission to play in the Big Bash. He has to work and stay in Sri Lanka,” Jayasuriya had said. “The reason is poor form. He’s been in very poor form with his bowling and batting. He needs to work on some things with the coaches in Sri Lanka.”Bangladesh now know how helpful the rap had been for Thisara, and how effective his confidence can be for Sri Lanka. From 67 for 8, he rescued Sri Lanka with an unbeaten 80 off 57 balls, which is the third-highest by a batsman at No. 9, and is only the second by a Sri Lankan after Guy de Alwis.But match-winning rescue acts are not new to Thisara. His unbeaten 36 here in Mirpur four years ago was the first instance when his last-ditch hitting helped Sri Lanka to a win. Against South Africa in early 2012, his unbeaten 69 helped his side to a famous win. There have been a 21 not out and a 19 not out against Australia in 2012 and 2013, as well as the unbeaten 35 against Bangladesh in the second T20 in Chittagong last week.Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews called Thisara’s innings “absolutely brilliant” and praised his all-round abilities. “He is one of the best allrounders that we have. He has been winning us matches in the past few years with bat and ball, he is matured. He did it in the T20s in Chittagong, and he has improved quite rapidly. Hopefully he will continue to do the same thing in the future.’The way he batted was absolutely brilliant. When Thisara and Sachithra were batting, I thought we should get to at least 150 to give the bowlers some sort of chance. He is matured now, he has been winning games with bat and ball.”

India’s selectors will pick squads for the ODIs and the Tests in South Africa when they meet in Baroda on Monday, though the Test series begins only on December 18

India’s selectors will pick squads for the ODIs and the Tests in South Africa when they meet in Baroda on Monday, though the Test series begins only on December 18. The early selection is designed to give the players as much preparation time as possible. The BCCI is planning to send the Test specialists to South Africa a week in advance.The selection committee was scheduled to meet in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, during the second ODI against West Indies, but the meeting was rescheduled due to the cyclone that hit coastal Andhra Pradesh.India are likely to take 16 players for the two Tests in South Africa, and while 12 pick themselves the other four spots could be filled by a variety of people. This is India’s first selection since the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar and his spot in the XI is likely to go to Ajinkya Rahane or Ravindra Jadeja, who missed the home Tests against West Indies because of a shoulder strain.The composition of the bowling group, however, is not as clear. Ishant Sharma’s place is under the scanner – he was in the squad for the West Indies Tests but did not play – but don’t be surprised if he makes the trip to South Africa. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav are the first choice seamers, but because there could be space for a fifth quick, either Zaheer Khan or Jaydev Unadkat might make it. The selectors are likely to leave Zaheer’s selection up to the team management. If he is not a certainty in the playing XI, he might not get included in the squad.Gautam Gambhir’s chances of being selected as reserve opener hang in the balance despite his match-winning hundred for Delhi, in trying conditions, against Haryana. If the selectors feel Dinesh Karthik is suitable for a dual role – that of reserve wicketkeeper and reserve opener – then Gambhir might not make the squad. Gambhir has scored 372 runs in six Ranji Trophy innings this season, while Karthik has only 85 in four without a half-century. However, if the selectors decide to exclude Pragyan Ojha, who is unlikely to be used in South African conditions, both Gambhir and Karthik could be included, with Suresh Raina being another candidate for a reserve batsman.For the ODIs, it will be interesting to see if the selectors persist with Yuvraj Singh. He scored an unbeaten 77 off 35 balls on his comeback in the T20 against Australia, but scored only 35 runs in five ODI innings since. In the bowling department, Vinay Kumar is likely to be retained despite his mediocre form against Australia because of the unavailability of Dhawal Kulkarni, who got injured a day after being picked for the West Indies ODIs.Test squad certainties M Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kolhi, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, MS Dhoni, R Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravindra JadejaRemaining four Test slots Two out of Zaheer Khan, Jaydev Unadkat and Ishant Sharma; two out of Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, Suresh Raina and Pragyan Ojha

تحدث نور الدين أمرابط، عن مصير شقيقه سفيان أمرابط لاعب فيورنتينا الإيطالي والأندية المهتمة بضمه هذا الصيف.

سفيان أمرابط محل اهتمام برشلونة وأتلتيكو مدريد ومانشستر يونايتد، وجذب المغربي الدولي اهتمامهم خاصة بعد أدائه المميز في كأس العالم بقطر مع منتخب بلاده.

وقال نور الدين أمرابط لشبكة “ESPN”: “سفيان يريد أن يصعد إلى القمة، فلن يستبدل إيطاليا بأندية الوسط في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز”.

وأضاف: “في برشلونة، هو على رأس القائمة، لكنك تعلم الوضع المالي لبرشلونة”.

وبشأن ارتباط أتلتيكو مدريد بشقيقه، أردف: “بالطبع أنت لا تعرف أبدًا، ستكون منافسة قوية عندما ترى الأسماء المتنافسة، لكن شقيقي لديه النية الآن للعب في القمة، ويفضل أن يكون ذلك في إسبانيا أو إنجلترا، على ما أعتقد”.

جدير بالذكر أن أمرابط 50 مباراة تحت قيادة تين هاج في أوتريخت من 2015 إلى 2017.

تجاهل أعضاء اتحاد الكرة المصري، صرف جزءً من مستحقات الحكام، وذلك تزامنًا مع الأزمة الكبيرة الحالية المتواجدة داخلة جدران الجبلاية الخاصة بمستحقات الحكام المتأخرة.

وعلم بطولات أن الحكام طلبوا علنًا بالمستحقات المتأخرة، سواء في تواصل رسمي مع مسؤولي اتحاد الكرة، أو من خلال حساباتهم على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي إلا أن اتحاد الكرة أجل صرف جزء من المستحقات لبعد إجازة العيد.

Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh allrounder, has been fined 75% of his match fee after pleading guilty to showing serious dissent at the umpire’s decision in the second ODI against Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe team was also fined, for maintaining a slow over rate.Shakib had been adjudged lbw for 34 though the ball seemed heading down the leg side, and there was a hint of an inside-edge as well. Shakib reacted by violently slamming the bat on his pads, accidentally brushing the Zimbabwe wicketkeeper Brendan Taylor’s pad as he ran in to celebrate the wicket. Shakib immediately apologised to Taylor. He later agreed that he had shown dissent at the umpire’s decision.The match referee Chris Broad deemed it to be a Level 2 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct. “This type of a reaction from a senior player and a former captain is unacceptable,” Broad said. “When the umpire’s finger goes up, the batsman must leave the crease without showing his emotions regardless of what he thinks of the decision.”The other fine levied in the match was for Zimbabwe’s slow over rate, deemed to have been one over short in their allotted time. Taylor, the captain, was fined 20% of his match fee, and the rest of the side was penalised 10%.The one-day series is tied 1-1, and will be decided by the final match on May 8.

يخطط نادي مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي للتعاقد مع هاري كين، مهاجم فريق توتنهام، خلال سوق الانتقالات الصيفي.

ويرغب إريك تين هاج، مدرب مانشستر يونايتد في تعزيز هجوم الفريق، ويأتي هاري كين على رأس قائمة اهتمامات الشياطين الحمر.

ويملك هاري كين عقدًا مع توتنهام ينتهي بنهاية الموسم القادم في يونيو 2024، وتشير التقارير إلى أن الإنجليزي يدرس الرحيل، مع عدم حصوله على أي بطولات بقميص السبيرز.

وأوضحت صحيفة “جارديان” البريطانية، أن مانشستر يونايتد يدرك أن إقناع مسؤولي توتنهام بالموافقة على رحيل هاري كين لن يكون أمرًا سهلاً.

من جانبه، هاري كين التزم الصمت بشأن مستقبله وليس هناك أي مؤشرات بشأن استعداده للتتوقيع على عقد جديد، وقد يغادر مجانًا بنهاية عقده.

وأوضح التقرير أن مانشستر يونايتد يعتزم اتخاذ خطوة مبكرة والتحرك للتفاوض على ضم هاري كين، حتى لا يظل طوال السوق الصيفي يتفاوض على الصفقة دون حسمها، ويأملون في الحصول على أموال كافية لإقناع توتنهام بالبيع.

لفت التقرير النظر إلى أن مانشستر يونايتد لديه خيارات أخرى، مثل فيكتور أوسيمين مهاجم نابولي، لكنها ستكون صفقة باهظة الثمن.

والخيار الآخر هو راسموس هويلوند لاعب أتالانتا، وستكون قيمة الصفقة أقل تكلفة، لكن تين هاج يرغب في دمج عنصر منسجم بالفعل مع فاعليات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، ويرى أن هاري كين هو الخيار المثالي.

هناك أيضًا ماسون ماونت ومن المرجح بشكل متزايد أن يغادر تشيلسي، حيث ينتهي عقده العام المقبل وتوقفت المحادثات بشأن التمديد، وآرسنال وليفربول مهتمان أيضًا بالتعاقد معه.

The BCCI has decided to shift all matches of the ICC Women’s World Cup out of the Wankhede Stadium as the Maharashtra Cricket Association wants to use the venue for the final of the Ranji Trophy

Amol Karhadkar21-Jan-2013The BCCI has decided to shift all matches of the Women’s World Cup out of the Wankhede Stadium as the Mumbai Cricket Association* (MCA) wants to use the venue for the final of the Ranji Trophy.”We had requested the BCCI to allow us to stage the Ranji final against Saurashtra at the Wankhede Stadium, the home of Mumbai cricket,” MCA joint secretary Nitin Dalal told ESPNcricinfo. “We are glad that they have agreed to it.”A BCCI insider confirmed that “no WWC match” will be played at the Wankhede, with the new schedule still being worked upon keeping Cuttack as co-hosts along with Mumbai. “This would also help in letting the Wankhede host the Irani Cup from February 6, should Mumbai go on to win the Ranji Trophy.”As a result, the Women’s World Cup is now set to be played at five stadiums: the Barabati Stadium and the DRIEMS stadium in Cuttack, and the MIG Club, Brabourne Stadium and MCA’s Bandra-Kurla Complex facility in Mumbai.Meanwhile, both Saurashtra and Mumbai are set to go in to the Ranji final without the services of two key players each. Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane (both Mumbai), Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja (both Saurashtra) are part of India’s squad for the five-match ODI series against England. With the fifth ODI to be played on January 27, the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) had requested the BCCI to postpone the start of the Ranji final from January 26 by two days. Once that was refused due to inability to change the telecast schedule, the SCA had requested for at least Pujara, who hasn’t featured in the series along with Sharma, for the final.However, a BCCI insider said that none of the four players will be released. “Rahane and Jadeja have been playing in the eleven. And since Rohit and Pujara are the only two reserve batsmen, there is no way they can be released two days before an ODI,” he said.*15.40GMT, January 21: The article had incorrectly qualified MCA as Maharashtra Cricket Association.

O reencontro entre Lucas Lima e Santos sempre é esperado, diante da forma como ele deixou o clube, no fim do ano passado, após quatro temporadas. E a quinta e última vez que o meia enfrentará seu ex-time em 2018, às 19h deste sábado, no Allianz Parque, chega exatamente na maior sequência que o camisa 20 recebe desde que Luiz Felipe Scolari voltou ao Palmeiras.

Lucas Lima tem sido importante no Brasileiro, tanto que é quem mais atuou pelo clube nesta edição da competição – vai para sua 28ª partida em 32 rodadas do torneio. Mas, nos jogos eliminatórios por Copa do Brasil e Libertadores, ele tem sido reserva de Moisés e, por isso, nunca emendou dois jogos seguidos como titular com o atual técnico, contratado em julho. Até agora.

O camisa 20 foi titular no 2 a 2 diante do Boca Juniors, na quarta-feira, em duelo decisivo pelas semifinais da Libertadores, por opção de Felipão, deixando Moisés no banco. Para o clássico deste sábado, o camisa 10 está suspenso. Dando a Lucas Lima a oportunidade de se reafirmar de vez como titular no momento da temporada em que o comandante deve alternar menos a escalação, pois resta somente o Brasileiro ao Verdão.

Moisés vem em clara queda técnica nas últimas rodadas, enquanto Lucas Lima é um dos destaques do primeiro colocado do Campeonato Brasileiro. Segundo o Footstats, o camisa 20 é quem mais da assistência para finalizações no time na competição: 42, com média de 1,6 por jogo. Em assistências para gols, o meia tem as mesmas três de Marcos Rocha e fica atrás das dez de Dudu (que lidera o quesito no torneio entre todas as equipes) e das cinco de Hyoran.

Lucas Lima perdeu a condição de titular absoluto ainda com Roger Machado, no primeiro semestre. Passou a Copa do Mundo realizando trabalho físico intenso e, na volta do Brasileiro, também substituindo Moisés, suspenso, enfrentou exatamente o Santos e fez o gol do empate por 1 a 1 de 19 de julho, no Pacaembu, com mando alvinegro.

Agora, com a chance de atuar não só pela opção de Felipão em alternar escalações, Lucas Lima tem os números contra seu ex-time a favor. Fez gol no clássico do primeiro turno deste Brasileiro e, em quatro encontros diante do Santos, acumula duas vitórias (2 a 1 e 1 a 0, na primeira fase e na semifinal do Paulista), um empate (o 1 a 1 pelo Brasileiro) e uma derrota (2 a 1, na semifinal do Paulista, mas com vitória alviverde nos pênaltis na sequência).

De quebra, Lucas Lima vive um momento em que recebe elogios de palmeirenses, mesmo sem ser unanimidade. Nas redes sociais, torcedores pediam sua entrada no lugar de Moisés e o anúncio da sua escalação diante do Boca Juniors, na quarta-feira, motivou aplausos no Allianz Parque. Por isso, o próprio meia cita o apoio do início ao fim do jogo que eliminou o clube da Libertadores como motivação para o clássico deste sábado.

– Deixa a gente tranquilo porque tivemos o apoio deles. E querendo ainda mais dar esse título brasileiro para eles, por terem nos apoiado até o final. Se formos campeões, será para eles, será merecido – discursou Lucas Lima.

Sachin Tendulkar has officially become a Member of Parliament after taking oath at a ceremony in Delhi. He had been nominated to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, in April and has become the first active India sportsperson to become an MP.Tendulkar was named as one of the 12 presidential nominees for Rajya Sabha membership that is reserved for those persons “having special knowledge or practical experience in respect of such matters as literature, science, art and social service”. A Rajya Sabha MP’s tenure is six years.After the ceremony, Tendulkar said his cricket career would remain top priority. “I’m here because of my cricketing career,” he said. “I can’t take any focus away from my cricket that is where it all started for me… as and when there is time in between, I will look at other things, how I can help and bring in whatever changes not only (for) cricket but all other sports demand.”Tendulkar also said that as MP he would look to improve not just cricket but other sports as well. “I think I’m in a better position, not only to help cricket but also other sports in the country which is really important, it means a lot to me,” he said. “I’d be happy if I’m remembered as someone who has contributed to all sports in India rather than just my cricket statistics, that would be fantastic.”The swearing-in ceremony was held in the chamber of Hamid Ansari, the vice-president of India, who is also the chairman of the Rajya Sabha. reported that while few MPs were around as the parliament was not in session, the parliament staff had lined the corridors in anticipation of Tendulkar’s arrival. Accompanied by wife Anjali to the function, Tendulkar read out his oath in formal Hindi. The ceremony lasted longer than the normal hour, vice-president Ansari telling Tendulkar after the formal signing-in, that he was a cricket enthusiast. Tendulkar in turn enquired about the functioning of parliament.

Geoffrey Boycott, Yorkshire’s new president, has risked alienating another British-born Asian player from the club by urging Adil Rashid to take responsibility for his own actions after being dropped for the first time in his county career.

Myles Hodgson30-May-2012Geoffrey Boycott, Yorkshire’s new president, has risked alienating another British-born Asian player from the club by urging Adil Rashid to take responsibility for his own actions after being dropped for the first time in his county career.Boycott has revealed the growing frustration at Rashid’s performances, which have earned just nine wickets from six championship appearances this summer. His comments come just weeks after Ajmal Shahzad became so disillusioned at Yorkshire that he was released from his contract and joined Lancashire on loan until the end of the season.Rashid’s poor form prompted Yorkshire to omit him from their County Championship match against Northamptonshire at Headingley. It is the first time since he established himself in the side over five years ago that Rashid has been dropped and gave an opportunity for Azeem Rafiq, Yorkshire’s emerging young offspinner, to make his first championship appearance for Yorkshire since 2010.”He’s never progressed, that’s the sad part,” Boycott said, speaking at the opening of Yorkshire’s new club shop. “I think there are a lot of people in English cricket who wanted to have a legspinner playing for England but it’s not about the type of bowling, it’s the quality of bowling.”You can’t just pick people because they’re legspinners. You have to pick the quality, that’s what the England selectors are doing now. The kid may be able to bowl legspin, but you’ve got to drop it on a length to cause problems for a batsman and you can’t be too expensive. Otherwise, the scoreboard rockets around and you can’t control the game in the field.”Instead of meeting up with Yorkshire’s first team, Rashid was sent to in a second team Twenty20 match in Bradford yesterday, which represents a stunning fall from grace for a player once regarded as a future England Test bowler and was included in their squad to tour India in 2008.After an overhaul of their coaching structure, Yorkshire had high hopes for Rashid this summer and Jason Gillespie had encouraged him to be more attacking in his bowling following his appointment as head coach.Rashid, though, has made little improvement from last season, where he had again fostered optimism by his part in South Australia’s triumph in the Big Bash League. He began impressively with 11 wickets at Worcester but finished the summer with 39 wickets from 16 matches. It has prompted obvious questions about why his career and development has stalled.”I don’t think he has been mis-managed,” Boycott explained. “It’s easy to blame other people isn’t it? You can always say, you didn’t pick me enough or it’s the coaches fault or you picked me too soon for England. You can throw out all the things you want, but in the end, it’s up to you.”You have to remember that cricket is an individual game within the framework of a team. When you’re out batting, there’s nobody on the end of a phone telling you how to play, you know. You’ve got to do some thinking yourself.”You can help people but I’m not a great believer in the culture of blaming others. I don’t believe in that culture. We have too much of that in England. Why not take responsibility yourself. Put your hand up and say ‘hey, it’s up to me, nobody else’.”Boycott had more encouragement for Jonny Bairstow, whose innings at Trent Bridge during a hostile spell from West Indies’ fast bowler Kemar Roach has prompted many commentators to claim he has a weakness against the short ball.”I don’t think he’s got a weakness – he’s had one innings, so it’s unwarranted,” Boycott insisted. “I think he’s very talented, but he’s just a young kid and he’s got a lot to learn. He knows that as well, he’s not ahead of himself and he’s quite clear about what he has to do. We’ve all had hiccups and problems but he’s a young kid and to label him as having problems after one knock is grossly unfair.”
