Rohit on resting Kuldeep: 'We don't want to expose him a lot'

India want to “preserve” their wristspinner as much as possible ahead of the World Cup

The one key change that’s brought Kuldeep success

Kuldeep Yadav is riding a wave of confidence following a Player-of-the-Series effort at the Asia Cup. Ahead of the World Cup, the Indian team management is doing all it can to “preserve” its lone wristspinner in the squad, and not “expose” him much against Australia, by resting him for the first two ODIs.”Kuldeep is a rhythm bowler, we all know that,” India captain Rohit Sharma said. “But we thought of a lot of things and took this call. His bowling is going well, like Ajit [Agarkar] said, we had to give players a chance, especially those who played just one game at the Asia Cup and are in the World Cup squad.”We have been looking at Kuldeep for the last one, one and a half years, this is why we don’t want to expose him a lot. He is coming back for the last match. There are a lot of reasons. This is the best decision for us, to have him sit out for two games and play the third. We also have two practice matches [before the World Cup opener], so for the bowling rhythm, he will be back in it.”Related

Kuldeep picked up nine wickets in five games, returning an average of 11.44 and economy of 3.61. All these wickets came across two games; he began with a five-for against Pakistan in India’s record 228-run win and then followed that up with four wickets in India’s spirited defence of a modest 213 against Sri Lanka. Kuldeep’s control and variety earned plaudits from the coaches and experts alike.Agarkar, who worked with Kuldeep at Delhi Capitals in the IPL not long ago, spoke of the virtues that make Kuldeep a vital cog in India’s World Cup wheel. He reiterated how a little bit of “faith and confidence” could do wonders for a bowler’s mindset.”I spent a couple of years with him, he is a guy who has a special skillset,” Agarkar said. “Every player needs to be shown faith, given a bit of confidence, which the team management has done and it is showing on the field. In various conditions and against varied opposition, he is one of the trump cards for the team. I’m happy and excited about what he is doing. Clearly, most teams coming up against him find it a challenge, and where he is at, all of us are excited at what lies ahead.”

سبب تراجع برشلونة عن صفقة لويس دياز والاتجاه لـ راشفورد

كشفت تقارير صحفية سبب تراجع نادي برشلونة الإسباني، عن صفقة جناح ليفربول، لويس دياز، والاتجاه للتعاقد مع ماركوس راشفورد لاعب مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي.

وارتبط برشلونة بمفاوضات لضم لويس دياز لتعزيز هجومه، في منافسة مع بايرن ميونخ الألماني الذي سعى أيضًا للتعاقد مع الكولومبي الدولي.

ولكن عقب ذلك، تم تداول أنباء عن قيام برشلونة بتقديم عرض للتعاقد مع ماركوس راشفورد من مانشستر يونايتد، وضمه على سبيل الإعارة (طالع التفاصيل).

وتوصل برشلونة بالفعل لاتفاق حيث وافق مانشستر يونايتد على إعارة راشفورد للفريق الإسباني، بحسب ما ورد في التقارير وفي انتظار الإعلان الرسمي.

وذكر الصحفي الموثوق فابريزو رومانو، وصحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية، أن برشلونة رفض تجاوز مبلغ 60 مليون يورو في صفقة دياز، في الوقت الذي رفض فيه ليفربول عرضًا من بايرن ميونخ قيمته 67 مليون يورو.

ومن ثم اتجه برشلونة لمفاوضات لضم راشفورد، على سبيل الإعارة مع خيار شراء يتراوح بين 30 و35 مليون يورو.

ومن المتوقع وصول راشفورد لبرشلونة خلال الساعات القادمة، وسيخضع لفحص طبي إما غدًا الأحد أو يوم الاثنين على أقل تقدير، على أن يتم إعلان الصفقة يوم الثلاثاء المقبل.

ويستهدف هانز فليك مدرب برشلونة، ضم راشفورد لقائمة الفريق المتجهة إلى اليابان استعدادًا للجولة الآسيوية التحضيرية للموسم الجديد.

'The confidence is unwavering' – Bairstow backs England to return to winning ways

He also insists their firepower with the bat can’t be questioned despite the early defeats

Matt Roller18-Oct-20231:16

‘England need to adapt to Indian pitches’

England have not become a bad team overnight and their players remain confident that they can win the World Cup, despite early defeats to New Zealand and Afghanistan. That was the message put forward on Wednesday by Jonny Bairstow, who also pushed back against criticism of the squad’s focus.With two points from their first three games, England will probably need to win five of their remaining six group-stage fixtures to qualify for the semi-finals. They play against South Africa at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday night, which represents a chance to respond from a shock 69-run defeat to Afghanistan in Delhi.And Bairstow said the squad retains belief that they can put a run of victories together. “There’s a reason why the guys won the T20 World Cup last year; there’s a reason why the guys won the 2019 World Cup, and we’re the defending champions,” he said. “Just because we’ve lost a game to Afghanistan doesn’t make us bad cricketers or anything like that.Related

“You look at [Fazalhaq] Farooqi, his record in the IPL; you look at the three spinners that they’ve got and their records. Just because they play for Afghanistan, they’re no slouches. They’ve actually got some of the world’s best in there and they’ve got match-winners. We lost that game, we didn’t play well enough, and we’ve accepted that and moved on from that.”Asked whether England’s batting line-up is still capable of dominating opposing teams in the way they have over the last eight years, Bairstow said: “I don’t really think much has really changed, has it? You look at the strength in depth that we have with our batting line-up… I don’t think the firepower can be questioned.Jonny Bairstow said one defeat doesn’t mean England are a bad team•Getty Images

“We’re just focusing on ourselves. That’s what we do. We’ll go out and play the way that we’re looking to play, put pressure on the opposition like we said that we’d try and do. People are allowed to bowl or bat well. But if our mindset is right and if the way in which we approach the game is right, then that’s the bit that we can control.”England’s players came in for significant criticism across broadcast and print media after their defeat on Sunday, which the squad have largely ignored. But they have taken issue with one report which focused on the players’ use of their downtime and suggested that they should spend less time on the golf course, and more in the nets.”The group remains calm within it,” Bairstow said. “Belief and confidence isn’t something that’s been questioned one bit. That’s something that you’re able to call upon when you do lose a game. We lost to Sri Lanka in 2019. We lost to Pakistan in 2019. We still went through. There were similar things that I’m sure you guys [the press] wrote in 2019 at the home World Cup.”But that’s OK. That’s what you’ve got to do. You’ve got to write certain things about certain members and what people do and don’t do in their downtime. That’s things that you’ll fill in the [column] inches and you’re doing that. Whether it’s true, whether it’s incorrect, whatever it is – that’s up to you to do that, isn’t it?”The confidence is there. It’s unwavering. There’s no lack of belief within this group.”Responding to a question about whether criticism would bring the squad closer together, Bairstow said: “Not really, no. I don’t read it [but] I got told about some of the stuff that you put, so we’ll leave it at that.”South Africa, England’s opponents on Saturday, started the World Cup with convincing wins over Sri Lanka and Australia but were beaten by Netherlands on Tuesday night, which Bairstow described as “a great result to wake up to”. He believes South Africa have “a quality attack” and also cited Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen as two “exceptional” batters.England will also face South Africa in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup in Paris on Saturday night, which Bairstow said would be “a great day” for two “extremely proud nations”. He added: “You’ll have people in South Africa having a few brandy-and-cokes and a couple of braais, and you’ll have a few Englishmen popping down the pub… it’ll be great, and hopefully both results go our way.”

Hardik takes over from Rohit as Mumbai Indians captain

It is understood that Rohit will continue playing for Mumbai in the IPL

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Dec-20238:59

Jaffer: Surprised that Mumbai Indians moved on from Rohit so quickly

Hardik Pandya will captain Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, taking over from Rohit Sharma, who led the team through a decade of thrilling highs. Rohit, who led Mumbai to five IPL titles, is the joint-most-successful captain in the tournament’s history alongside Chennai Super Kings’ MS Dhoni.The leadership change comes less than a month after Mumbai brought Hardik back to his original franchise after he had captained Gujarat Titans to a title and a runners-up finish in back-to-back seasons.Related

IPL 2024 auction: Titans' Hardik-sized hole, and other key positions the teams need to fill

While the development might come as a surprise to some, Mumbai had a clear plan when they traded Hardik from Titans. The franchise had identified Hardik as Rohit’s successor and wanted to ensure a smooth transition as in the past, when the captaincy baton had passed from Sachin Tendulkar to Harbhajan Singh and then Ricky Ponting to Rohit.It is understood that Rohit will continue playing for Mumbai in the IPL.”It is part of legacy building and staying true to the MI philosophy of being future-ready,” Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai’s global head of performance, said in a statement. “Mumbai Indians have always been blessed with exceptional leadership right from Sachin to Harbhajan and Ricky to Rohit, who while contributing to the immediate success have always had an eye on strengthening the team for the future. It is in keeping with this philosophy that Hardik Pandya will assume captaincy of Mumbai Indians for the IPL 2024 season.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

“We express our gratitude to Rohit Sharma for his exceptional leadership; his tenure as the captain of the Mumbai Indians since 2013 has been nothing short of extraordinary. His leadership has not only brought unparalleled success to the team but has also solidified his place as one of the finest captains in the history of the IPL.”Under his guidance, MI became one of the most successful and loved teams ever. We will look forward to his guidance and experience on and off the field to further strengthen MI. We welcome Hardik Pandya as the new captain of MI and wish him all the very best.”In all, Rohit led Mumbai 163 times in the IPL and the Champions League T20, winning 91 games, tieing four and losing 68. Under him, Mumbai reached five IPL finals – in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020 – and won all of them. The last three seasons have been less successful for Mumbai, though. They failed to make the playoffs in 2021 and 2022, and went out of the 2023 tournament with a loss to Titans in the second Qualifier.It remains to be seen whether the captaincy change at Mumbai is a precursor to a similar shift in India’s T20I team. Rohit is currently India’s all-format captain, but has not played a T20I since the semi-final defeat at the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. In that time, Hardik has captained India in the format when available – he has led them in 13 of their last 25 T20Is – but is currently out of action with an ankle injury sustained during the recent ODI World Cup. Suryakumar Yadav – another Mumbai Indians player – captained India in the recently concluded T20I series in South Africa.

O Palmeiras confirmou seu título do Brasileirão-2022 na última quarta-feira, sem precisar entrar em campo por conta da derrota do Internacional para o América-MG. Mesmo assim, o Verdão carimbou a conquista com uma goleada por 4 a 0 sobre o Fortaleza, no Allianz Parque. No entanto, a taça será entregue apenas na próxima semana.

Mas o torcedor alviverde pode se programar para acompanhar a entrega das medalhas e do troféu de campeão, já que isso vai acontecer no próximo duelo da equipe dentro de casa, que será na próxima quarta-feira, dia 9 de novembro, diante do América-MG, no Allianz Parque. A tendência é que o estádio esteja lotado para isso.

Dessa forma, o palmeirense pode ficar tranquilo que a taça não será entregue contra o Cuiabá, fora de casa, neste domingo. A cerimônia é sempre programada para acontecer na casa do campeão, a não ser que a decisão do título seja na última rodada do campeonato.

Muitos torcedores acreditavam que o troféu já poderia ser entregue depois do jogo contra o Fortaleza, na última quarta-feira, uma vez que já se sabia que o Palmeiras era o campeão devido à derrota do Internacional quase quatro horas mais cedo do que o jogo da noite.

No entanto, como não havia certeza de que o título sairia naquele dia, a logística foi programada para o próximo jogo em casa depois da confirmação. Assim, não havia como a CBF estruturar a entrega para o jogo diante do Fortaleza e ela foi confirmada para o dia 9/11.

O Palmeiras ainda não divulgou as informações sobre as vendas de ingresso para o duelo com o América-MG. A expectativa é de que o estádio possa ter capacidade total, pois o palco do show do cantor Michael Bublé já terá sido removido e não haverá visão bloqueada.
