Offspinner Parvez Rasool has become the first cricketer from Jammu & Kashmir to earn a national call-up. He is part of the ODI squad to tour Zimbabwe, which will be led by Virat Kohli in the absence of the injured MS Dhoni.Apart from Dhoni four others were rested, which resulted in a maiden call-up for Haryana and Chennai Super Kings seamer Mohit Sharma. Cheteshwar Pujara, who has played 13 Tests already, was in line for an ODI debut after being recalled to the limited-overs side. Medium-pacer Jaydev Unadkat, who has played one Test, was also back in the ODI squad, as was Ajinkya Rahane.Among those rested were R Ashwin (playing non-stop since the start of India’s home season last August), Ishant Sharma (non-stop since Zaheer Khan was dropped during the England series), Umesh Yadav (came back from an injury during the IPL) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (non-stop since Pakistan came to India in December). M Vijay, though, was dropped from the squad for the five ODI matches scheduled between July 24 and August 3.There was no place for the dropped seniors – Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer – in either the ODI side or the A team that will tour South Africa. Vijay, however, has been named in the A squad. His ODI comeback might have been terminated based on just one innings – and Pujara’s return to fitness – but his A team selection is a show of faith in him for the longer formats after he struck two 150s in his comeback Test series against Australia.A sign of how inexperienced the ODI team is, and how seriously the selectors are taking the A tour, is that 10 of the India players in Zimbabwe will be part of the A tour. The A team will be captained by Pujara, and includes the top-two wicket-getters in the 2012-13 Ranji season: quicks Ishwar Pandey and Siddarth Kaul. Wriddhiman Saha joined Dinesh Karthik as the wicketkeeper, and Karnataka allrounder Stuart Binny was also picked.Shahbaz Nadeem, who was the leading spinner in the Ranji season, has also been picked to partner Rasool in the A team’s tri-series against Australia A and South Africa A, and two four-day games against South Africa A.Rasool, who made his first-class debut for J&K in the 2008-09 season, has played 17 first-class matches, scoring 1003 runs and taking 46 wickets. He was named in the India A squad for a tour game against Australia in February this year, and also played his first IPL season for Pune Warriors.The other newcomer, Mohit, has played 11 first-class matches for 44 wickets over two seasons, and had an impressive season for Super Kings in IPL 2013. He picked up 20 wickets in 15 matches to emerge as one of the leading uncapped players of the tournament.India squad: Virat Kohli (capt.), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, Cheteshwar Pujara, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Parvez Rasool, Shami Ahmed, R Vinay Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohit Sharma.India A squad: Cheteshwar Pujara (capt.), Shikhar Dhawan, M Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha, Parvez Rasool, Shahbaz Nadeem, Shami Ahmed, Stuart Binny, Ishwar Pandey, Jaydev Unadkat, Siddarth Kaul

Diego Miranda comenta próximo desafio do Caxias no Gauchão

MatériaMais Notícias

O Caxias conseguiu buscar um triunfo de suma relevância para as suas pretensões no Gauchão ao superar no último fim de semana o Veranópolis no estádio Centenário. Algo que não só quebrou uma sequência de duas derrotas (Novo Hamburgo e Grêmio) como permitiu que o clube grená se mantivesse nas primeiras posições, mais precisamente no terceiro lugar com 10 pontos ganhos.

Todavia, o próximo desafio da equipe é tão complicado quanto retomar o caminho das vitórias, já que o Caxias vai até Porto Alegre enfrentar o Internacional no Beira-Rio em jogo agendado para o domingo (17) às 19 h.

Analisando o tamanho do “problema” a ser resolvido, o meia Diego Miranda entende que o primeiro pensamento precisa ser de vitória. Contudo, dependendo das condições da partida, trazer um ponto da capital do estado não seria de todo ruim. Ainda mais pensando no fato do Inter ser o quarto colocado também com 10 unidades, mas levando desvantagem no critério do saldo de gols (1 gol positivo do Caxias contra saldo 0 do Colorado).

Jogaremos contra um dos favoritos do torneio em sua casa, logo, era muito importante que estivéssemos numa colocação respeitável na tabela nesse momento. Será um jogo duríssimo, buscaremos a vitória, mas um empate não seria ruim – avalia o meio-campista de 27 anos de idade.

Seja lá qual for o resultado da próxima rodada, Diego sabe bem o que ele e seus companheiros de clube estabelecem como meta mínima para a equipe dentro do Gauchão:

– O nosso início de trajetória mostra que temos condições de ir longe no torneio. O Gauchão talvez seja o estadual mais disputado do país, todas as equipes lutam muito em todos os jogos, mas acreditamos que podemos chegar ao menos às semifinais. Esse é o nosso objetivo mínimo.

England players quick on the draw

When they have had time to spare England’s players have also been experimenting with portraits of each other in aid of three of cricket’s most prominent charities

England’s cricketers have been quick on the draw this year – and not just against Australia.When they have had time to spare they have also been experimenting with portraits of each other in aid of three of English cricket’s most prominent charities – and the results are quite striking.Joe Root, whose 180 was a major factor in England’s thumping win against Australia in the second Investec Test at Lord’s, has also found time during his Test duties to knock up an appealing sketch of Ian Bell.As Bell has scored hundreds in both the first two Tests, it is a fair bet that Australia’s bowlers must visualise him as slightly more threatening than Root does. He drew on memories of his A level in art at Worksop College to present Bell as a respectful, inoffensive figure with hands placed formally behind his back.The camaraderie between James Anderson and Graeme Swann has often been seen in mischievous jokes about each other in media conferences. Now that mickey-taking has been captured artistically with characteristically humorous doodles of each other.Other appealing efforts are Steve Finn’s sketch of a Stuart Broad’s bowling action, somewhat more languid and unorthodox than Broad might feel it appears in real life, and a mass of facial hair which, naturally enough, turns out to be Matt Prior.England tested their artistic prowess on the tour of New Zealand earlier in the year. Regretfully, that meant they could not turn their talents on Australia, who might have found cartoons of their lowest moments as they have slipped 2-0 down in the Ashes series a bit hard to take.Cricket fans – we have shied away from saying art collectors – now have a chance to bid for the original portraits cricket fans will get the chance to bid for the original portraits.The auction will last for 10 days with all proceeds going to Cricket United – a joint fundraising appeal by The Lord’s Taverners, Chance to Shine and the PCA Benevolent Fund which aims to leave lasting benefits from the 2013 Investec Ashes series.

Após Diego Souza, Fernando também é regularizado para atuar pelo Bota

MatériaMais Notícias

Depois de Diego Souza constar no BID da Confederação Brasileira de Futebol sem pendências, foi a vez de Fernando Costanza ser regularizado e passar a estar apto para vestir a camisa do Botafogo. Como tudo ocorreu nesta sexta-feira, o lateral-direito poderá ser inscrito no Campeonato Carioca.

Conforme o LANCE! trouxe antecipadamente, o defensor chegou ao Rio de Janeiro na última quarta e, na tarde de ontem, treinou no campo anexo do Estádio Nilton Santos junto aos companheiros. Nesta sexta, o jovem de 20 anos dará continuidade aos trabalhos. A sua escalação ou não já passa a depender do técnico Zé Ricardo.

Como é de praxe, Fernando recebeu o trote do elenco e teve que passar pelo corredor polonês. O Botafogosolicitou a volta de Costanza antes do prazo de empréstimo junto ao Lille (até junho) por conta da carência no setor.

O Alvinegro correu com documentação e espera que Fernando também esteja na próxima fase da Copa Sul-Americana, tendo em vista que Marcinho está suspenso dos dois próximos jogos. Pelo Lille, Fernando não conseguiu o espaço esperado. O clube francês poderia exercer o poder de comprar para o segundo semestre, como tinha direito, segundo o acordo.

Haverá, contudo, uma compensação por parte do Botafogo, que deve estender o período que o Lille terá como prioridade caso queira contratar Fernando. Cabe destacar que uma possível compra em julho renderia 3 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 13 milhões), por 80% dos direitos do lateral, aos cofres alvinegros.

Fernando tem vínculo com o Botafogo até 31 de dezembro de 2020. Desde 2014 no clube carioca, chegou a ser integrado aos profissionais em 2017, pelo então técnico Jair Ventura, por necessidade no setor, porém chegou a deixar o Glorioso sem ter atuado nos profissionais – apenas pelo time sub-23.

لابورت يرفض مغادرة مانشستر سيتي إلى نادِ إنجليزي

كشفت تقارير صحفية أن لاعب فريق مانشستر سيتي، إيمريك لابورت، رفض فكرة الانتقال إلى صفوف فريق إنجليزي آخر هذا الصيف.

وأصبح مستقبل اللاعب صاحب الـ29 عامًا محل شك، بعدما تراجع دوره تحت قيادة المدرب بيب جوارديولا.

وسبق أن ذكرت تقارير صحفية أن لابورت قد يغادر ملعب “الاتحاد” في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي إذا تمكن بطل الدوري الإنجليزي من ضم مدافع مميز.

وحسبما ذكرت شبكة “فوتبول إنسايدر” الإنجليزية، فإن توتنهام تحرك لمعرفة مدى إمكانية الحصول على خدمات لابورت في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

وأوضحت أن اللاعب الإسباني أبدى عدم اهتمامه بخطوة الانتقال إلى صفوف توتنهام، مما اضطر الأخير إلى البحث عن أهداف أخرى.

ومن المعروف أن العقد الحالي لـ لابورت مع بطل أوروبا سينتهي في يونيو 2025.

Vasco e Fla se encaram em diferentes momentos dos sistemas defensivos

MatériaMais Notícias

No Campeonato Brasileiro do ano passado, o Vasco, que brigou contra o rebaixamento, terminou como a quinta pior defesa da competição, com 48 gols sofridos. Enquanto isso, o Flamengo, que brigou pelo título, terminou como a terceira melhor no quesito, empatado com o Internacional, sendo vazada 29 vezes. Neste início da temporada 2019, porém, a situação se inverteu. Enquanto o time cruz-maltino tem a melhor defesa do Carioca, o rubro-negro só não foi vazado em dois jogos – contra Cabofriense e San José, da Bolívia.

No clássico deste sábado, o Vasco terá no setor defensivo a zaga que vem sendo titular, com os experientes Leandro Castán, de 32 anos, e Werley, de 30. Já pelo lado do Flamengo, visando o duelo com a LDU (EQU), na quarta-feira, pela Libertadores, o técnico Abel Braga deve poupar jogadores e há a possibilidade de a dupla defensiva ser formada pelos jovens Thuler e Hugo Moura, crias das categorias de base.

Até o momento, o Vasco levou gols em apenas dois jogos, na vitória por 5 a 2 sobre o Volta Redonda e no empate em 1 a 1 com o Botafogo.

– A explicação é o trabalho do Alberto (Valentim). Ele tem trazido a mentalidade de defender todo mundo junto na hora que nosso time está sem a bola. É um modo italiano e que ele tem sangue. Todo mundo comprou a ideia por saber a importância de se cumprir bem as funções dentro de campo. A linha defensiva precisa ser sempre bem compacta. Temos conseguido fazer isso muito bem – analisou Leandro Castan.

Antes do jogo contra a Portuguesa, pela segunda rodada da Taça Rio, o zagueiro Rodrigo Caio, que vem sendo titular ao lado de Léo Duarte (que ganhou posição após lesão de Rhodolfo) demonstrou incômodo com o fato de o time ter levado gols em quase todos os jogos, mas lembrou que, por outro lado, a resposta da equipe tem sido boa em relação aos resultados.

– Claro que nenhum zagueiro gosta de tomar gols, mas prefiro vencer os jogos e estamos fazendo isso. Para mim, isso é o mais importante em uma primeiro momento. Temos muitas coisas a corrigir, não só os gols que estamos tomando. Nossa equipe está em crescimento, equipe vai crescendo jogo a jogo. Tenho certeza que, no momento certo, vamos ficar jogos sem tomar gols, mas eu gosto de vencer os jogos e estamos fazendo isso.

Vale lembrar que Castán e Werley terminaram 2018 como titular da zaga vascaína, já sob o comando do técnico Alberto Valentim. No Fla, além da troca de Dorival Júnior por Abel Braga, houve a perda de Réver – que vinha sendo titular com Leo Duarte e foi para o Atlético-MG. Desta forma, o ano se iniciou com uma dupla nova, tendo Rodrigo Caio e Rhodolfo.

Taylor wrests initiative despite Anderson's 300th

Sustained pressure with the ball and a brave counter-attacking innings from Ross Taylor meant that New Zealand continued to hold a slight advantage

Sustained pressure with the ball and a brave counter-attacking innings from Ross Taylor meant that New Zealand continued to hold a slight advantage at Lord’s, despite James Anderson’s best efforts to wrestle back control with a high-class bowling display during which he claimed his 300th Test wicket.After restricting England to 232 – scored at barely two-an-over throughout and with the last six wickets falling for 40 – New Zealand faced early problems themselves at 7 for 2 against a fired-up Anderson. By the close, which came early due to bad light, they had recovered to be 79 behind, although the loss of Dean Brownlie shortly before the end evened the scales a touch.Anderson had ended the series in New Zealand on 298 scalps and soon began closing in on his landmark when he had Hamish Rutherford well caught at first slip in the first over. Then, in his fourth over, he found the edge of Peter Fulton’s bat and the catch was held, low down, at second slip by his close friend Graeme Swann to become the fourth Englishman to the 300 mark. It was 20 years after the previous, Ian Botham in 1984, and almost 10 years to the day since his Test debut on this ground, against Zimbabwe, in 2003. Overall, he was the 26th bowler to reach the milestone in Test cricket; for England the others are Fred Trueman (307), Bob Willis (325) and Botham (383).Anderson, though, lacked support from his fellow quicks until Steven Finn, now back on his longer run, pitched the ball fuller to win an lbw against Brownlie but only after using the DRS to overturn Steve Davis’ initial not-out decision.Either side of tea, England were poor and New Zealand responded superbly to their early difficulties. In Taylor, they had the first batsman in the match to try and put some pressure back on the bowlers with a fifty that came off 49 balls. His innings would conclude with 13 boundaries: England hit 21 through their entire 112 overs.Any error in line or length – of which there were both from Finn and Stuart Broad – was punished, but Taylor also made some calculated judgements to attack deliveries that others may have played more cautiously. With Alastair Cook knowing that he did not have a mountain of runs on the board, and unable to keep Anderson going forever, the pressure was quickly reapplied to England.Although Graeme Swann gave Cook some control – and wicket-taking threat – it was no surprise that Anderson provided the lift England desperately needed. With the second ball of a new spell, this time from the Nursery End, he swung one back into Taylor’s pad for which the batsman almost walked before being given.That broke a stand of 93 in 25 overs and, though Taylor dominated, Kane Williamson more than played his part, showing his ability off the back foot. He was, though, given a life on 23 by Matt Prior – who had earlier bagged a first-ball duck to mark a tricky start to his season after being named England’s player of the year – when he went one-handed for an edge off Anderson where he may have been able to use both gloves. When collecting his award on Monday, Prior did note how “fickle” the game can be. Then, on 27, England did not review for a catch down the leg side that replays showed had grazed the bat.This match is shaping to go against the trend of relatively high-scoring encounters at Lord’s even in May. England’s batting continued to be wrapped in caution after they resumed on 160 for 4 and an innings that had crept along unravelled quickly either side of lunch as New Zealand’s diligence and discipline was rewarded.Tim Southee broke the deadlock with two wickets in two balls to spark a slide of 4 for 9 in 17 balls before the interval, and he also claimed the final wickets to finish with 4 for 48. For the second time in two series England had begun without an individual half-century.Joe Root had played very solidly, as much as any of the top order, on his first appearance at Lord’s until glancing Southee past his hip where BJ Watling, excellent behind the stumps, took the catch diving to his left. In New Zealand, and on the first day here, Southee bowled without the luck his efforts deserved so no one could begrudge him a change in fortune. But it was a tough way for Root to depart after he had played another mature innings. For the first time ever, for any team, four of the top five batsmen departed between 31 and 40.If the ball to claim Root was not the best Southee had bowled, the delivery to trap Prior was certainly up there; an off-cutter (or at least a scrambled seam) that gripped slightly on the surface to beat the inside edge in front of middle and leg. Prior opted for a review and while the decision was not plumb, ‘umpires’ call’ on hitting was enough for Southee and New Zealand.Broad survived the hat-trick ball as it slid wide of off stump, but not much longer. His part in the match-saving heroics at Auckland was all the more surprising because of the decline in his batting over the last months. On this occasion he was stone dead lbw to Wagner (so much so that even Broad knew he couldn’t ask for a review) as he was beaten by a full delivery that straightened but he did not give himself the best chance to survive by aiming towards square leg.Although Wagner sprayed the occasional ball outside off he found the most movement of the three quicks during a spell where he charged in from the Nursery End. He was quickly in the face of Swann – who was welcomed back to Test cricket with a couple of sharp bouncers having had the temerity to drive a boundary through point – but it was another full delivery that ended his brief stay and gave Watling his fourth catch.Bairstow watched from the non-striker’s end as he, too, reigned in a natural attacking instinct, but did produce a couple of strong straight drives that defied the slow outfield. He was left doing what he could with the tail for company and was just threatening to try a few more shots when he watched Southee cling onto a thumping drive.

رئيس الاتحاد الفرنسي يزعج ريال مدريد بشأن مستقبل مبابي

أزعج رئيس الاتحاد الفرنسي الحالي، فيليب ديالو، نادي ريال مدريد بسبب طموحاته وأمانيه بشأن مستقبل جناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي باريس سان جيرمان، كيليان مبابي.

وارتبط مبابي في الفترة الماضية بإمكانية الانتقال إلى ريال مدريد، رغم استمراره عقده مع باريس سان جيرمان حتى 30 يونيو 2024.

يريد باريس سان جيرمان تمديد عقد مبابي أو بيعه في الصيف الحالي لتحقيق أقصى استفادة مادية ممكنة.

وتابع: “وجودهم يجعلك تحلم، إذا سألتني، هل يجب أن يبقى مبابي في الدوري الفرنسي؟ جوابي هو أنه كلما طالت فترة بقائه في فرنسا، كلما كان ذلك أفضل للكرة الفرنسية”.

وأتم تصريحاته: “لكن القرار لا يعود لي بصفتي رئيسًا للاتحاد الفرنسي، لأغير من رغبة وإرادة اللاعب”.

The ECB has launched a free educational programme for use in primary schools aimed at teaching children about the spirit of cricket and using Ashes-themed lessons to feed into various key disciplines, such as numeracy and literacy.Called the ‘Ashes School Challenge’, the interactive programme is being supported by the charity Chance to Shine and Cricket Australia. The initiative, part of the ECB’s summer marketing campaign aimed at strengthening grassroots participation, will also see selected schools in the UK invited to take part in a Sister School Challenge, partnering them with a school in Australia.”There are so many ways in which the Ashes can play a part in the classroom – whether by applying maths skills to the study of scores and averages, understanding how modern cricketers keep fit and healthy, or learning more about cricket’s place in the history and culture of both countries,” the ECB’s managing director cricket partnerships, Mike Gatting, said.”We’ll also be encouraging participating schools to organise Ashes-themed cricket tournaments or fun days as part of the programme which will involve the wider community and give children an opportunity to play the game and learn more about key cricketing values such as teamwork, fair play, respect and leadership.”The Ashes School Challenge is linked to the National Curriculum and will be based around 20 themed lesson plans across multiple subjects, with a free educational resource kit available all interested schools and teachers.
