Manjrekar impressed with the ‘spark’ in Bangladesh’s bowling

Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mushfiqur Rahim are expected to shoulder significant responsibility for Bangladesh as they look to build on an uptick in Test match performances away from home. Although they’ve only won eight of 67 matches on tour, four of them have come since 2021 and the most recent two were the stuff of legend.”[The win in Pakistan] certainly gives us a lot of confidence coming into this series,” Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe said ahead of the first Test against India. “Not because of the outcome of the series, the way we played that series, the way we handled certain situations, we were behind the game in both Test matches and then how we come back and then the people who contribute at different times give us a lot of belief for this series.”Much of the good vibes in Bangladesh is the result of the way their new players are performing but their stalwarts are still keeping up with the youngsters.Related

'When we came back from 26 for 6, it was a new dimension': how Bangladesh pulled off their greatest feat

“Shakib [has] always played a huge part in Bangladesh cricket whenever he is available and playing well,” Hathurusinghe said. “I mean obviously he gives us the luxury to balance the team the way we want, whether we want to play extra bowlers or extra batsmen because of his all-round capabilities. So he gives that adaptability as well as a huge experience.”He is probably one of the longest international players going around and then he is coming from playing countless matches and he is in good shape. So he brings a lot into the team, not only his skill set but otherwise as well.”And, Miraz, I would say he is the most improved Bangladesh cricketer for the last five to six years. He is ready to take over whenever Shakib moves out. I think he has developed his batting and obviously his bowling has always been, his strength, his No.1. Now I think he has improved his batting as well and on the field, he is a gun fielder.”The success of any away team in India depends on their ability to cope with R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. Bangladesh will be relying on Mushfiqur, who was typically meticulous with his preparations in Chennai, practicing various kinds of sweeps against the offspin and left-arm spinning net bowlers that he trained with.Mushfiqur Rahim averages 55.16 in Test matches in India•Associated Press

“I think Mushfiq actually mentioned to me his record on the way to India in the flight. He said, I average 55 coach, you forget about that,” Hathurusinghe said. “He is a phenomenal player and for a long time the way he prepared, I haven’t seen anyone prepare that much detail-wise. So the one I haven’t seen is probably Sachin Tendulkar…something like that. Close to all the reports that I have read about him, Mushfiq is like that. He is just a professional, a thorough professional when it comes to cricket.”Bangladesh have played three Tests in India and lost all three (two by an innings). Hathurusinghe is hopeful they will present a stiffer challenge this time around.”I think this is probably the most well-rounded team that Bangladesh has produced in my previous time and this time,” he said. “We’re covering a lot of bases, we’ve got good fast bowlers, we’ve got a really experienced spin attack and then the batting, we actually have good depth because of two reasons.”One is that two of our spinners [Shakib and Mehidy] are genuine batters who got Test hundreds and then two of our wicketkeepers [Litton Das and Mushfiqur] are our main batters. So our balance of the team in this series is really, really good and that gives us actually a lot more confidence that we can be competitive in this series.”

Arsenal pushing to sign £68m "magician", "agreement in principle" reached

Arsenal have now made progress in their pursuit of a “magician”, having reached an agreement in principle with his club, according to reporter Sebastien Vidal.

Gunners set sights on new forward after Gyokeres

The Gunners finally got a deal for Viktor Gyokeres over the line on Sunday, and Mikel Arteta is clearly delighted with the signing, saying: “Viktor has so many qualities. He is a quick and powerful presence up front, with incredible goalscoring numbers at club and international levels.

“He brings a clinical edge with a high conversion rate of chances into goals, with his intelligent movement in the box making him a constant threat.”

It will be a real relief to have signed a striker, but Andrea Berta and co have no plans to stop there, given that Arteta was left a little short on options out wide at times last season too, and they are currently working to get another forward through the door.

Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is among the main targets, with reliable reporter Ben Jacobs revealing the England international is “keen” on a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, and initial talks have now been held with the Eagles.

There has now been a further development in Arsenal’s pursuit of Eze, with journalist Sebastien Vidal revealing they are now “pushing” to get a deal over the line, having reached an agreement in principle with Palace.

The Gunners plan to pay £30m for the £27-year-old up front, and they are currently negotiating the time scale of when they will pay the rest of the installments, with the Eagles keen to receive full payment within two years.

A deal for the Palace star is unlikely to be cheap, with the attacker’s current employers keen to receive £68m, but there are plenty of signs he could be yet another fantastic signing, in what has been an exciting window for the north Londoners.

Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards has lauded the Englishman as a “magician” in the past, and he was regularly among the goals for Palace last season, providing 25 attacking contributions across all competitions.

Ponting appointed Punjab Kings head coach

Ponting, it is understood, will take the final call on the rest of the coaching staff

Nagraj Gollapudi18-Sep-20246:27

What is Ponting’s biggest challenge at Punjab Kings?

Ricky Ponting has been appointed head coach of Punjab Kings (PBKS) from IPL 2025, a little over two months after he and Delhi Capitals parted ways ending his seven-year tenure at the franchise.ESPNcricinfo has learned that Ponting has signed a four-year contract with Kings, a franchise with multiple owners. Ponting, it is understood, will take the final call on the rest of the coaching staff. There is no clarity yet on who remains on the books from the coaching unit from last year: Trevor Bayliss (head coach), Sanjay Bangar (head of cricket development), Charl Langeveldt (fast-bowling coach), Sunil Joshi (spin-bowling coach).”I am grateful to Punjab Kings for presenting me with the opportunity to be the new head coach,” Ponting said. “I am excited to take up the new challenge. I had great conversations with the owners and the management about the way forward and was truly elated to see the alignment of our visions for the team. We all want to repay the fans who have stayed with the franchise over the years and we promise that they will see a much different Punjab Kings going forward.”Ponting will be the third head coach in four seasons at Kings, who finished ninth in the 2024 season. They have not qualified for the IPL playoffs since 2014, when they finished runners-up. Ponting’s first challenge would be shortlisting players who could be potentially retained for the next season even as the franchises wait for the IPL to finalise the retention rules.Related

Harshal Patel, who won the purple cap for the second time in IPL 2024, along with the uncapped Indian pair of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma were among the key performers for Kings last season. Kings also have India left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma, legspinner Rahul Chahar in their squad along with a healthy bunch of overseas players, including the England trio of Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow and South Africa quick Kagiso Rabada.With Shikhar Dhawan retiring recently, Kings will also be keen to identify a new captain.Ponting has been part of the IPL set-up since the inaugural season in 2008, first as a player at Kolkata Knight Riders followed by Mumbai Indians where he stepped down as captain midway through the 2013 season, paving way for Rohit Sharma to take over. Mumbai won the title the same year, with Ponting continuing in an advisory role in 2014 and then serving as head coach for two seasons in 2015 and 2016.In 2018, Ponting took charge as head coach of Capitals who made the playoffs for three successive seasons between 2019 and 2021, during which period they qualified for the first IPL final in 2020. After ending his association with Capitals in July, Ponting was head coach during Washington Freedom’s title-winning campaign in the 2024 season of Major League Cricket (MLC).

Newcastle "expected" to sign £120k-a-week ace who has "said yes" to move

Newcastle United are now “expected” to complete the signing of an “exceptional” player in the summer transfer window, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Howe shares latest on Isak's Newcastle future

Magpies-related transfer rumours are continuing to make the rounds, but Alexander Isak’s future is still understandably the big current talking point.

Newcastle are desperately trying to convince the Swede to stay put and not join Liverpool this summer, and Eddie Howe has now provided some fresh comments on the situation.

“He is still our player. He’s contracted to us. We, to a degree, control what is next for him. I would love to believe all possibilities are still available to us. My wish is that he stays, but that’s not in my full control.”

Newcastle United's AlexanderIsakcelebrates scoring their first goal

One of the few pluses to Newcastle selling Isak is that they could receive the biggest fee in the history of English football for his signature, allowing Howe to build his squad in various positions. A goalkeeper has been an area of focus throughout the summer and a big update has now dropped regarding their search for someone new between the sticks.

Newcastle "expected" to sign £120k-a-week ace

According to Romano on X, Newcastle are “expected” to sign Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who has “said yes” to a move to St James’ Park.

Missing out on James Trafford to Manchester City is an undoubted setback for Newcastle, considering he is such a highly-rated young ‘keeper, but Ramsdale could be an astute signing instead.

Granted, the £120,000-a-week England international has just suffered relegation with Southampton, but he knows Howe extremely well from their Bournemouth days, so there will be no concerns about him being the wrong type of character to come in.

Ramsdale may have left Arsenal after David Raya took his spot in the team, but Mikel Arteta was always a big admirer of his, once saying of him: “He’s been exceptional around the place with the situation. Like everybody. We love him more for sure. We have him every day. We know him, we know his character and we are really happy to have him. I don’t think I’m the one to answer the question about Aaron Ramsdale’s quality because I’m the one who signed him when everyone else was questioning that decision.”

There may be some Newcastle fans who aren’t necessarily overwhelmed by the signing of Ramsdale, especially with Trafford seen as the ideal addition, but at 27, he is still relatively young for a ‘keeper.

England seek series win on return to St Lucia

West Indies look for response after two heavy losses in Barbados leg of T20I series

Andrew Miller13-Nov-2024

Big picture: Settled England scent the series It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. England’s T20 World Cup defence didn’t exactly go to plan in the Caribbean five months ago, but at least, in reaching the semi-finals, they can say they fared better than the hosts. West Indies had been infused with rare hope and expectation going into the tournament, but they failed to emerge from the Super Eights – thanks, in no small part, to the last time that these two teams met at the Daren Sammy Stadium.It felt like an anomaly at the time: a riotously effective England win, led by Phil Salt’s hard-hitting 87 from 47 balls, and a throwback to the dominant style with which they had transformed their white-ball fortunes across their previous World Cup cycles. But that eight-wicket victory has since been matched in Barbados by two equally emphatic wins – by eight and seven wickets respectively – that have propelled England’s T20I team to the brink of only their second bilateral series win in two years.Salt has once again been central to England’s success against West Indies. His outstanding century in the opening fixture was his third in five innings against them, and when his record was dented by a golden duck in the rematch, England’s captain Jos Buttler was ready to step into the breach with a no-less-riotous 83 from 45 balls – which in itself was a good riposte to his own first-baller in game one.West Indies’ prospects have not been aided by two damaging lost tosses – even after being set a seemingly daunting 183 in match one, England coasted to that target with 19 balls to spare. But they have also had to contend with some internal disruption: the two-match suspension meted out on Alzarri Joseph for his bizarre fit of pique in the ODI series, and the loss of Andre Russell who turned his ankle during the first T20I.But if England looked tactically bereft during the ODI leg of the tour, they’ve found an encouraging blend of continuity and confidence in the shorter format. Their remarkable array of allrounders have been better deployed across 20 overs than was the case across 50, not least in the first match, when the loss of Reece Topley to a knee injury barely caused a ripple in Buttler’s options.And even if the full depth of their batting has not yet been tested, the fact that Sam Curran, Dan Mousley and Jamie Overton are all waiting for their first hit of the series is clearly preferable to them being required to perform endless bail-outs. England have three shots in St Lucia to secure their first series win in the Caribbean since 2019, in any of the three formats. To judge by the direction of travel so far, it would take quite the collapse in resolve to deny them in the long run.Form guideWest Indies LLLLW
England WWWLLIn the spotlight: Rovman Powell and Will Jacks”Are we bringing enough as individuals to the table?” Rovman Powell’s assessment of his team ahead of the third match might have doubled as some astute self-analysis after a fallow run of form in the past month. Low scores in T20 cricket are an occupational hazard, but Powell’s issue has been a failure to kick on from a series of starts: five innings between 13 and 43 since the start of the Sri Lanka series in October, at a strike-rate of 115.92 that is a significant way short of his career mark of 140. In top-scoring with 43 from 41 balls in the last match in Barbados, he showed glimpses of his true self – most particularly when launching Liam Livingstone for a 102-metre six, but by then he had chewed his way to 18 from 28 balls in an atypically ponderous display. If he can pick off where he left off then, England’s challenge will be all the greater.He was rewarded last month with the central contract that eluded him in 2023-24, but Will Jacks continues to play as if he’s on the outside looking in. England know and admire the explosive qualities that he brings to his game, and Jos Buttler’s decision to slip down to No.3 is a clear invitation for Jacks to cut loose in the manner that left Virat Kohli wide-eyed in wonder after his 41-ball century for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL earlier this year. But since making a brace of half-centuries against Australia in September, Jacks has made 101 runs at 14.42 in seven subsequent innings, at less than a run a ball. With pressure for places hotting up, not least for the Champions Trophy, the time is nigh to restate his credentials.Rovman Powell top-scored for West Indies in the second match•Getty Images

Team news: Alzarri returns from suspensionShamar, Joseph in; Shamar Joseph out… it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for West Indies in the past few days. Allrounder Shamar (Springer) has been called up as a replacement for Andre Russell, while (Alzarri) Joseph’s return from suspension means that his near-namesake is surplus to requirements. Terrance Hinds endured a rough debut in Barbados, and is also likely to make way.West Indies: (possible) 1 Brandon King, 2 Evin Lewis, 3 Nicholas Pooran (wk), 4 Rovman Powell (capt), 5 Sherfane Rutherford, 6 Shimron Hetmyer / Roston Chase, 7 Romario Shepherd, 8 Gudakesh Motie, 9 Akeal Hosein, 10 Alzarri Joseph, 11 Matthew FordeEngland are unlikely to tinker significantly with the series in their grasp, although their options have been limited with Jafer Chohan and Jordan Cox leaving the squad ahead of their Lions and Test commitments respectively. Reece Topley is hopeful he might yet be fit after jarring his knee in the first match (and copping a fine for smashing a chair as he left the field). With Jofra Archer’s workload still being closely managed, John Turner – unused since the ODIs – could be in line for a format debut.England: (possible) 1 Phil Salt (wk), 2 Jos Buttler (capt), 3 Will Jacks, 4 Liam Livingstone, 5 Jacob Bethell, 6 Sam Curran, 7 Dan Mousley, 8 Jamie Overton, 9 Jofra Archer / John Turner, 10 Saqib Mahmood, 11 Adil RashidPitch and conditions: Wet, wet, wet?Damp conditions could be in prospect after heavy recent rain. St Lucia’s outfield is less renowned for its drainage, so fingers crossed for a dry spell.Stats and trivia West Indies have won six and lost five of their previous 11 T20Is in St Lucia. However, they have lost both of their previous encounters with England at the venue: in 2019, and again at the recent T20 World Cup. Shimron Hetmyer needs 67 runs to reach 1000 in T20Is.Quotes”England have played better than us in the first two games, but I rally St Lucia to come out and be an extra 12th man. We’ve not played the brand of cricket that has allowed us to win, but we have the manpower in that dressing-room to win.”

Wolves readying £15m offer to sign "incredible" La Liga ace ahead of Napoli

Having already agreed a deal to sign David Moller Wolfe, Wolverhampton Wanderers are now reportedly readying an opening offer to sign a La Liga defender ahead of Serie A champions Napoli.

Wolves set to sign David Moller Wolfe

A Wolfe fit for Wolves, those in the Midlands are set to get their man and replace Rayan Ait-Nouri following his decision to join Manchester City earlier this summer. The AZ Alkmaar defender is already scheduled to undergo a medical, according to Fabrizio Romano, and is set to become the third arrival of the summer at Molineux.

Replacing Ait-Nouri will take some doing, given the impact he had in Vitor Pereira’s side at their best, but the numbers suggest that Wolfe has the talent to at least replicate his attacking output.

In 690 fewer minutes last season, Wolfe managed just four less goal involvements in league action and proved important when recovering possession for Alkmaar. Now, both his attacking output and ball-winning capabilities are likely to prove crucial in Pereira’s side.

In a quiet summer, Wolves’ business may fly under the radar. But whilst their business has been limited, it has been impressive. Jhon Arias, Fer Lopez and now Wolfe represent three very solid arrivals ahead of next season.

With Ait-Nouri now replaced, meanwhile, those in the Midlands have seemingly turned their attention towards finding a reinforcement at the other side of their backline.

Wolves open talks to sign Juanlu

According to journalist Orazio Accomando, as relayed by Sport Witness, Wolves have now opened talks to sign Juanlu Sanchez from Sevilla this summer. Molinuex chiefs are reportedly expected to submit an opening offer worth €17m (£15m) for the 21-year-old right-back as they set their sights on beating Serie A giants Napoli to his signature.

Approach made: Wolves now make enquiry to sign "unbelievable" £15m striker

The Old Gold have made contact over a deal for a centre-forward, with Vitor Pereira looking to bolster his attacking options.

ByDominic Lund Jul 30, 2025

An Olympic gold medalist with Spain, Juanlu has earned plenty of praise during his time in Spain, including from former manager Xavier Garcia Pimienta, who took the chance to praise the defender’s versatility.

Now, the Spaniard could be on his way to Wolves to replace Nelson Semedo. The Portuguese defender swapped the Midlands for Fenerbahce earlier this summer after opting out of signing a new deal at Molinuex.

If Wolves manage to sign Juanlu, however, then they will not only land a replacement for the former Barcelona defender, but arguably a player who could become an even better option for Pereira.

مدرب الأهلي السعودي بعد الخسارة أمام بيراميدز: كرة القدم تشهد أمورًا سخيفة

وأضاف: “الهدفان الثاني والثالث جاءا من كرتين طوليتين لم يتعامل معهما الدفاع بصورة صحيحة، ولكن هذه هي كرة القدم عندما ترتكب أخطاءً تستقبل الأهداف في مرماك، وبيراميدز استحق هذا الفوز”.

وتابع: “لدينا مدافعين أقوياء في الكرات الطويلة وأثبتوا ذلك في الموسمين الماضيين، وما حدث أمر صعب عليّ، ولكن هذه كرة القدم، سنعالج الأخطاء في المستقبل، ولا ألوم اللاعبين، لكن يجب تجنب مثل هذه الأخطاء، ما نحتاجه هو التركيز، وفي كرة القدم تحدث أحيانا أمورًا سخيفة خارجة عن الإرادة، وسنصبح أفضل”.

وعن إشراك الجناح البرازيلي ويندرسون جالينو أساسيا، رغم الشكوك حول جاهزيته، واستبداله بعد نصف ساعة فقط، قال المدرب: “كان واضحًا أن جالينو يستطيع المشاركة، ولم أدفع به إلا بعد التشاور مع الجهاز الطبي، لكن ما حدث في الملعب شيء مختلف”.

وأشار: “فريقنا قوي وقادر على الخروج من هذا الوضع الصعب في قادم الأيام، وسنعمل على تحسين الأمور، وأعتذر للجماهير، كانت تستحق نتيجة أفضل خاصة في مناسبة اليوم الوطني”.
