Worcestershire are considering a permanent move away from their home ground at New Road after it flooded seven times over the 2023-24 winter. They will stage their first two home fixtures of the County Championship season in nearby Kidderminster and chief executive Ashley Giles is actively exploring the club’s options.New Road is among the most iconic cricket venues in England, with its backdrop of Worcester cathedral, but it is built on a flood plain which relieves the River Severn. Giles, who took over as chief executive last year, said that the flooding problem is getting worse and fears that any further issues could affect their T20 Blast season.”I don’t think we can carry on like this,” Giles told BBC Hereford and Worcester. “It’s costing us a lot of money. We’re going to lose virtually two months of a six-month season. The ground is here to stage cricket, to be a venue for entertainment and hospitality. But conditions are seemingly getting worse.”I’m not sure how much longer this will continue if we keep having to put up with this. As chief executive here, I have to consider all options – and one of those options has to be looking if we move, where do we move, and how do we move? We have a good relationship with both the local councils, city and county.”And would we be building a version of New Road somewhere else? Or could we look at outside investment and build something that could have world-class facilities. That would take a lot of investment. But sport – and cricket – is interesting to investors right now, so maybe the timing is right to look at those sorts of things.”Related

Worcestershire are not expecting to play at New Road until May 24, when they host Nottinghamshire in the County Championship, but Giles is anxious about the prospect of flooding ruining the start of their Blast season, with their first home fixture scheduled for May 31.”The weather over the next couple of weeks is important, but we are still sticking to the plan of a May 24 return,” he said. “But any extension of the timeline on a return to New Road would be pretty devastating. We’ve now suffered seven full floods this winter at New Road, the last of them over the Easter weekend, which is very late.”The water has now receded and we’re yet to assess quite how much damage has been done but first impressions are positive. It seems that the work done on the square has been retained and there is still good grass. But, if we push back any further we get into the T20 [Blast].”It would be very damaging if we had to move T20 games away from New Road. Kidderminster has been a very good partner to us and we will play two our first two home Championship games there but could they cope with a T20 game? I don’t know. We need to explore these things.”

Holder arrives for start of season

Worcestershire announced the signing of Jason Holder last week, who has arrived in the UK ahead of their opening Championship fixture against Warwickshire this week. Holder is due to play the first five games of the season, before flying home ahead of the T20 World Cup.Holder told ESPNcricinfo in December that he planned to win back his Test spot through domestic red-ball performances after opting out of West Indies’ tour to Australia in order to play in the ILT20, and made two first-class appearances for Barbados last month.”Jason arrived on Tuesday morning from the West Indies and he has already practised with us at Kidderminster,” Alan Richardson, Worcestershire’s coach, told the club website. “He was really keen to get out there and meet the players and the staff and that has been great.”Trying to find overseas players is probably a lot harder than 20-30 years ago with franchise cricket and this year we’ve got the added complication of a T20 World Cup. Jason was really keen. He has been playing for Barbados and played quite a lot of four-day cricket recently. He was keen to continue and then going into the World Cup with the West Indies.”

Cheatle feeling ‘in rhythm’ after Australia recall

Alyssa Healy and Darcie Brown have been named in Australia’s squad for the upcoming multi-format tour of India despite injury concerns, and left-arm seamer Lauren Cheatle has been recalled for the Test match, but a decision has not yet been made on who will be Meg Lanning’s successor as captain.The 16-player squad was announced just five days after Lanning’s shock international retirement, bringing a close to her near decade reign as skipper during a golden era for Australian women’s cricket.A transition awaits with vice-captain Healy, who filled in during Lanning’s absences over the past year, tipped as the frontrunner and she has put her hand up for the vacated role.Related

Lanning leaves a legacy of generational change and success

Australia’s hierarchy has commenced a process to find Lanning’s full-time replacement with an announcement to be made closer to the tour. The one-off Test – Australia’s first in India since 1984 – starts on December 21 in Mumbai before three-match ODI and T20I series.Healy played just one match this WBBL season before undergoing finger surgery after an accidental bite from her dog.”Alyssa Healy’s finger is healing but remains in a splint and our medical team are continuing to monitor her recovery closely,” national selector Shawn Flegler said. “We’re obviously very hopeful she will be available for the Test, but those decisions are still a while away.”Brown has been on the sidelines since suffering a hamstring injury against West Indies in the first ODI in Brisbane on October 8. She has been unavailable for defending WBBL champions Adelaide Strikers, but has returned to bowling and is set to be fit for the first Test.Brown might share new-ball duties with returning left-arm quick Cheatle, who has not played for Australia since March 2019. Cheatle, who made her international debut as a 17-year-old in 2016, endured a torrid run with injuries, including four shoulder reconstructions in five years.Lauren Cheatle hasn’t played for Australia since 2019•Getty ImagesBut she has won a spot in the squad on the back of a stellar WBBL season yielding 19 wickets from 10 games to spearhead Sydney Sixers.”I just feel in a bit more in rhythm, not just stopping and starting every three or four games,” Cheatle said a few days before the squad was named. “Think that shows performance-wise, feel like I’m in a bit more rhythm and not making silly errors that I may have done in the past.”Think that also comes with experience. I’m 10 years into my career, hopefully with many more to come. I’m just pumped to be on the park and doing my role the best I can.”Cheatle, who was only named in the Test squad, produced an eye-catching performance with 11 wickets in five matches during the Australia A tour of England in June.”Lauren has playing experience in India and provides another fast bowling option, particularly in regard to the Test match which is the format she has been selected for,” Flegler said. “At this stage, we’re planning for Lauren to return to Australia ahead of the white ball formats to play WNCL.”Australia’s squad almost mirrors the line-up that drew the Ashes series in July. Top-order batter Phoebe Litchfield, 20, is likely to step up and fill the shoes of Lanning, while Australia’s slew of star spinners were automatic selections and they loom as keys on expected turning surfaces.The matches will be played across two grounds in Mumbai.”A multi-format series against India in India is exciting and presents a huge challenge for our group,” Flegler said. “Most of our players, through last December’s bilateral series or the WPL, have played cricket in Mumbai over the past 12 months and have experienced the conditions.”We’ll have an opportunity to acclimatise to the conditions and our preparation in Mumbai will include a warm-up match against a local opposition.”Australia squad: Darcie Brown, Lauren Cheatle (Test only), Heather Graham, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris (T20), Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham

“We haven’t worked out exactly how to best approach the middle overs, but we’re finishing and starting very well,” captain says

Danyal Rasool09-Sep-2023

For much of this World Cup cycle, it is Pakistan’s top three with the bat who have generated the most encouraging headlines. But ahead of their second meeting against India in just over a week, the focus is now firmly on the three with the ball.The pace-bowling trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf have, with inspiring performances of late, cast Pakistan as slight favourites, especially in light of their showing against the same opposition last Saturday. And their captain Babar Azam was not shy in his praise for them.”I feel very proud of the fast bowlers I have. They’re among the best, and help us dominate,” he said on the eve of playing India in Colombo on Sunday. “Tournaments and matches are won by fast bowlers, and I fully believe in them. There’s no secret; they just believe in themselves and cover for each other.”Related

And the trio has done that in abundance of late. Even as Afridi and Naseem took charge while opening the bowling against India in Pallekele last week, Rauf proved a touch expensive. But once the seam movement and swing began to fade, it was Rauf’s extra pace that provided Pakistan breakthroughs.Against Bangladesh on Wednesday, Shaheen and Naseem struck early, but when Naseem went down with an injury after a boundary dive went wrong, Rauf was there to chip in, taking two wickets off his first seven balls, and four overall. And while Afridi has been less successful at the death, Rauf and Naseem have made up for it, combining for six lower-order wickets in the last two matches.”We’re testing out different combinations to see what works for us,” Babar said. “We haven’t quite worked out exactly how to best approach the middle overs, but we’re finishing and starting very well thanks to our fast bowlers. It’s a team effort. As a team, we try and get the best out of our players.”It is the one area where Pakistan have tinkered with personnel to try and hit upon the right formula. Against India, they went for the extra spinner in Mohammad Nawaz, but lost momentum through the middle overs as Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan pressed home the advantage against an off-colour Pakistan spin attack, with 21 overs of spin going for 133 wicketless runs.Haris Rauf’s extra pace comes into play once seam and swing are gone•Associated Press

But in Faheem Ashraf, Pakistan found more control against Bangladesh, with the allrounder conceding just 27 in seven overs, as well as breaking the hundred-run fifth-wicket partnership, something which has now been Pakistan’s bane for two successive games.Faheem’s effectiveness has prompted Pakistan to stick with him for the game against India – they will be fielding an unchanged XI from their victory over Bangladesh – thus opting for more control, and the extra seamer over the spinner. Babar justified that call as one of “trying to keep our options open rather than being stuck to a combination”.But with Pakistan having travelled from Pallekele to Lahore and then to Colombo in the preceding week even as India stayed put in Sri Lanka, Babar brushed aside any concerns about fatigue. Instead, despite the tournament’s Pakistan leg now over – though they were the official hosts – Babar was keen to point out the competitive advantage they still enjoyed.”We have spent two-and-a-half months in Sri Lanka, including the Test series, LPL, Afghanistan series, and now the Asia Cup,” he said. “So you could say we have a slight edge over India because of that.”

أعرب تشابي ألونسو عن استياءه بعد خسارة ريال مدريد ضد باريس سان جيرمان برباعية نظيفة خلال اللقاء الذي جمع بينهما على ملعب ميتلايف في نصف نهائي كأس العالم للأندية.

وكانت اهداف باريس سان جيرمان قد جاءت عن طريق فابيان رويز الذي سجل هدفين في الشوط الأول وعثمان ديمبلي، وفي الشوط الثاني سجل جونزالو راموس الهدف الرابع.

وسيلتقي باريس سان جيرمان مع تشيلسي الذي تأهل لنهائي كأس العالم للأندية على حساب فلومينيسي البرازيلي بهدفين نظيفين.

وقال ألونسو في تصريحاته لصحيفة “آس” الإسبانية حول تقييمه للمباراة: “لعبنا مباراة صعبة وخسرنا، ولكن ما أريد أن أقوله إن هذه هي كرة القدم”.

وأضاف: “شاهدنا الهدفين في بداية المباراة، استقبلناهما بأخطاء دفاعية ولكن هذا ما حدث، حاولنا التمسك وأن لا نستقبل أكثر من ذلك، ولكننا عانينا بسبب الأخطاء الدفاعية”.

وواصل: “لقد تماسكنا بعض الشيء في الشوط الأول، ولكن يجب أن نتعلم من أخطائنا، وما أقوله إنه يجب علينا التحسن بعد هذا الكم من الأخطاء، ولكنها نهاية بطولة وبداية مرحلة أخرى”.

وحول التحسن الذي ينتظره ريال مدريد في الفترة القادمة، رد ألونسو: “عشنا يومًا صعبًا، ولكن الآن لدينا بعض الوقت، ينتظرنا موسم جديد وسنحاول الاستفادة، ونفكر كثيرًا في التحسن والتعلم من الأخطاء”.

وأشار: “لقد اعتمدنا على كيليان مبابي في المباراة، ولكن هناك بعض الطرق التي لم تعمل بشكل جيد، وإذا كان الشوط الأول انتهى بهدفين فقط لكانت هناك إمكانية للعودة لكن الهدف الثالث قتلنا”.

وقال عن باريس سان جيرمان: “هذا لم نكن ما نريده، يجب علينا أن نقبل ما حدث، وستكون هناك خسائر في طريقنا، هذه هي كرة القدم، باريس فريق كان لديه الوقت الكافي للنمو وبناء فريقه، بينما نحن بدأنا للتو”.

وحول مودريتش ونهاية مسيرته: “إنها نهاية مريرة للمباراة الأخيرة وعدا ذلك فهو أسطورة في النادي، كان زميلاً لي في الفريق والآن مدرباً له، هو رجل عظيم وسيخلد ذكراه في النادي للأبد”.

وحول رودريجو وأمر عدم مشاركته: “لم أشرك رودريجو لأمور فنية، كنا نعتقد أن وضعنا سيكون أفضل مع لاعبين آخرين، الأمر لا يتعلق بمستقبله”.

واختتم عن تعزيز فريقه: “نحن دائماً منفتحين على تحسين هذه القائمة، وهذه هي فكرتنا أن نتحسن كمجموعة”.

Pochettino addresses Spurs rumorsArgentine insists its not realisticComments come after USMNT's 2-1 loss to TurkeyFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. – Mauricio Pochettino denied any interest in succeeding the fired Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham manager, saying after the USMNT's 2-1 loss to Turkey on Saturday that "Today it's not realistic. Look at where I am, where we are, and I think is the answer is so clear."

Several media outlets have speculated that Pochettino is on Tottenham's radar, with the BBC reporting that the Spurs have interest in bringing back the U.S. boss, while also considering Brentford’s Thomas Frank and Fulham's Marco Silva.

The BBC also reported that it would be financially challenging to hire Pochettino, given the compensation required to break his current contract with U.S. Soccer.

When asked about his interest in a return to Tottenham, Pochettino noted that he had frequently been linked with the Spurs job since he was controversially let go in 2019.

"Since I left in 2019, for the position of the manager or the head coach, my name has been appearing on every list!" he said on Saturday. "If you are seeing the rumors I’ve seen, there are 100 coaches on their list! Don't be worried about that. If something happened, you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing."

Getty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Pochettino spent five years in charge at Spurs, leading the club to the 2019 Champions League final and consistently securing top-four league finishes, including a second-place finish in 2017. Since leaving north London, Pochettino has managed high-profile clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

The Argentine joined the USMNT last September, replacing the fired Gregg Berhalter, and is currently mired in a three-game losing streak, including the loss against Turkey.

Two of the ODIs Ireland were supposed to play in Sri Lanka were replaced by a Test, allowing them to make the switch

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Apr-2023Paul Stirling will join Ireland’s Test squad in Sri Lanka, and be available for selection for the second Test.Stirling, who went back to Ireland from Bangladesh after the white-ball leg of the series, and will miss the one-off Test starting on April 4, has become available for Test cricket following alterations in Ireland’s schedule. Stirling explained to the last week that he had opted to sit out of Ireland’s Test commitments this year to give himself a chance to rest amid a “jam-packed” 2023 schedule, but left scope for his plans to “change or evolve” in the way they now have.Ireland’s tour to Sri Lanka initially consisted of a Test and two ODIs, but the hosts’ attempt to get more red-ball experience led to the two ODIs being replaced by an extra Test. Both the Tests will be played in Galle between April 16 and 28.Ireland tour of Sri Lanka

1st Test – April 16-20, Galle
2nd Test – April 24-28, Galle

“Paul was originally set to join the squad in Sri Lanka for the ODI series that was originally planned. However, with those fixtures now converted to a Test match, and the scheduled Bangladesh T20I series in Ireland postponed, he will now have a greater focus on red-ball cricket and will join the Test squad for that second Test,” Andrew White, Cricket Ireland’s national men’s selector, said in a statement.Stirling, who has played all three Tests Ireland have played to date – all in 2018 and 2019 – is one of Ireland’s busiest cricketers, playing in various short-format franchise leagues around the world.Stirling’s presence will certainly add a lot of experience to Ireland’s line up. For the Dhaka Test against Bangladesh, their squad has nine uncapped players, of whom three have never played first-class cricket. There are also only four survivors from their last Test.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  reported earlier this week that Barcelona and United are closely linked with a move for the World Cup-winning shot-stopper. Now, United legend Yorke believes that signing Martinez should be a "no-brainer" for manager Ruben Amorim, as he feels the Argentine will be a massive upgrade on current No.1 Andre Onana.

• WHAT DWIGHT YORKE SAID

  Speaking to , Yorke said: "It’s kind of a no-brainer. Emi Martinez has been really exceptional for a number of years and again you could see why huge clubs would want him. I mean Man United, I know they're struggling, but even now you’d have to consider it because they’re such a huge club. He wouldn’t just be bringing experience, but he’s a far better goalkeeper than Andre Onana, just going by the numbers. I think for Onana, it hasn’t quite worked out, and everyone anticipated that he would have done well. But definitely, signing Martinez would be a huge coup for United."

Leading Bengal in Abhimanyu Easwaran’s absence, Tiwary wants his team to take their game to “the next level” to try and win the Ranji Trophy

Rajan Raj16-Dec-2022

Manoj Tiwary has hinted that the ongoing 2022-23 season of the Ranji Trophy could be his last in first-class cricket, but he wants to make sure “to give Bengal a Ranji Trophy title on my way out”.Tiwary, who is in charge of Bengal because regular captain Abhimanyu Easwaran is away on national duty, led the from the front as the side, chasing 257 for victory against Uttar Pradesh at Eden Gardens, got to the target for the loss of four wickets in their Elite Group A game. Tiwary got in at 156 for 3 and ended with an unbeaten 60.Related

“We have to play like champions. We won today, but it’s not like we played exceptional cricket,” Tiwary, also a member of the legislative assembly in West Bengal, told reporters after the match. “If we look session-by-session, there were phases when we bowled badly. And our opening batters must score runs. If we want to win the Ranji Trophy, we must take our game to the next level.”Bengal have won the Ranji Trophy only twice in all these years, once way back in 1938-39 and then in 1989-90. Tiwary, who started playing first-class cricket in the 2004-05 season, has played the Ranji final thrice: in 2005-06, 2006-07 and, more recently, in 2019-20.”I am quite relaxed about leading the team,” the 37-year-old Tiwary said. “When I stepped down as the first-class captain of Bengal [during the 2018-19 season], I was told to continue as captain of the one-day and T20 sides, but I had refused, telling them that we need to groom a younger player as captain. But [in Abhimanyu’s absence], I realised I have to take this responsibility because decision-making is such a crucial part of the game.”Though he did ask for more from the bowling unit – which was missing Mukesh Kumar, who was out in Bangladesh with India A – Tiwary had words of praise for his pace spearhead Ishan Porel, who hasn’t played a lot of cricket of late but earned the Player-of-the-Match award against Uttar Pradesh for his match haul of seven wickets, including a five-for in the first innings.”Porel’s comeback has been quite good,” Tiwary said. “He wasn’t available for the Vijay Hazare [50-over] Trophy tournament, but he proved his worth here. I have spoken to him: we are playing at a level where we must forget what has happened in the past; every minute, every second, we must tell the world why I am Ishan Porel, or why I am Manoj Tiwary. That is the mentality that will help him become a champion.”Bengal’s next game is against Himachal Pradesh, also at home at Eden Gardens, from December 20.

Australia do not have any T20s on their schedule until next August

Glenn Maxwell: Every time we were one wicket too many down to go hard

Aaron Finch won’t rush into a decision over his international future following Australia’s exit from the T20 World Cup, instead giving himself a chance to see how this season’s BBL goes.Having retired from ODIs in September, there are no international commitments for Finch until next August when Australia have T20s in South Africa. The next T20 World Cup is in West Indies and the USA in mid-2024 when Finch will be 37.”No, I’m not going to retire. Not just yet,” Finch told as he arrived back at Melbourne airport on Sunday. “I’ll play Big Bash and see where we sit after that, but I’m still enjoying playing cricket, playing T20.”It still feels unlikely that Finch will pad up again for Australia and if that’s the case he will finish with 3120 T20I runs at 34.28 and a strike-rate of 142.53 including a top score 172. He continued to struggle for form at the World Cup with a painful innings against Sri Lanka, but rebounded somewhat with 63 off 44 balls against Ireland in what may have been his last international innings after a hamstring injury keeping him out of the Afghanistan game.Related

“There’s not another international T20 until August, so there’s quite a long break,” he said. “Still plenty of time to be able to weigh all that up. It’s been a pretty good ride regardless of what happens.”Finch’s BBL season with Melbourne Renegades will start on December 15 against Brisbane Heat.Speaking earlier in the day, head coach Andrew McDonald did not preempt any decision from Finch but noted that once conversations about retirement start that’s often the way they play out.”Any time that you, I suppose, start to think about it then the end will be one day closer, there’s no doubt about that,” he said. “I think the Big Bash will probably determine his future – how he goes there, his performances, how his body is holding up.Is it the end? Aaron Finch won’t be making that call just yet•ICC via Getty Images”His body has failed him here in terms of a hamstring strain that put him out of the World Cup…the next game is not until August next year so that gives him a lot of time to repair if he is willing to go on.”If not, then I am sure that over the next couple of weeks he will have a think about that and call it a little bit similarly to what he did in the one-day international scene.”McDonald, who took over as head coach from Justin Langer earlier this year, offered no excuses for Australia’s Super 12s exit of their home tournament.”We have only got ourselves to really blame,” he said, while forecasting personnel changes ahead of the next T20 World Cup. “We will go through what that looks like in terms of building towards the next World Cup”There will be some natural turnover because of the gap and space and also the age profile of the team. So there will be some people that get some opportunities, albeit next August when we play T20 again.”Australia’s next international action is a three-match ODI series against England which starts four days after the World Cup final. McDonald hinted that the early end to their tournament could mean a stronger-than-expected squad will be named. Pat Cummins was announced as the new ODI captain last month although he is not expected to feature in every series.
