Hafeez: PCB handling of Shaheen injury 'criminal'

Former Pakistan allrounder Mohammad Hafeez has criticised the PCB for its delay in sending fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi to London for treatment of his knee injury, calling the board’s handling of the situation “criminal”. Speaking on , Hafeez called his Pakistan and Lahore Qalandars team-mate Afridi “not just a Pakistani product, but an asset for the world”.”It pains me how Shaheen’s affair has been handled,” Hafeez said. “He is being groomed, and the whole world wants to watch him, so we need to look after him in the right way. Since the PCB announcement [that Shaheen was being sent to London for specialist treatment], it was clear that Shaheen had been injured for several weeks, and that time has been wasted. This is a criminal act.Related

“He’s gone to England now, but why couldn’t this decision have been made eight weeks ago? The diagnosis should have been made straightaway, and he should have been sent for the best rehab immediately. The fact he needs to be sent abroad for treatment is unfortunate in its own right, because we in Pakistan have been unable to upgrade our own medical facilities.”Hafeez’s remarks come amid increasing scrutiny of the PCB following its decision to reverse its original plan to manage Shaheen’s right knee ligament injury, sustained during the first Test against Sri Lanka in July. Initially, the PCB announced he would undergo rehab while travelling alongside the team despite being recommended “four to six weeks rest”. Earlier this week, though, it was revealed he would fly to London, with the PCB chief medical officer saying he required “uninterrupted, dedicated knee specialist care”.In recent years, the 22-year-old Afridi has established himself as Pakistan’s frontline bowler across all three formats, and alongside captain Babar Azam is Pakistan’s best-known and most marketable cricketer. He has tended to play most of Pakistan’s internationals, providing the team with serious wicket-taking threat, especially with the new ball. He was in attendance for Pakistan’s opening Asia Cup game on Sunday, and watched India beat them in a final-over thriller.

Mata 2.0: Man Utd make contact to sign "world-class" star who’s like Cunha

Juan Mata is a player who will always be fondly remembered at Manchester United for his time as a player, starring in the first team over an eight-year period.

The Spaniard joined the Red Devils from Chelsea back in January 2014 for a reported £37.1m, a bargain given his impressive form for the club – going on to make over 275 appearances in the process.

Mata also scored 51 times for United, including a scissor kick against bitter rivals Liverpool which secured all three points and a rare victory at Anfield.

Juan Mata

He would eventually leave back in 2022, joining Turkish outfit Galatasaray on a free transfer after the expiration of his contract at the Theatre of Dreams.

However, 11 years on from his big-money transfer to join the club, new boss Ruben Amorim has the opportunity to repeat such a deal in a move for one Premier League star.

Man Utd make contact to sign PL star this month

According to The Sportzine, Man United have made contact with the representatives of Chelsea star João Félix over a potential move to Old Trafford this month.

The Portuguese only moved to Stamford Bridge in the summer, joining the Blues for a fee in the region of £46m with Conor Gallagher moving in the opposite direction as a result.

However, it’s not been plain sailing for the 25-year-old since his big-money transfer, starting just three times in the Premier League, potentially opening the door to an early departure this month.

The report claims that he would be allowed to depart the capital this month if an acceptable offer was presented their way, but fails to mention what fee Enzo Maresca’s side would demand for his services.

Felix would certainly be a superb addition to Amorim’s side, bolstering his compatriot’s chances of being a success in Manchester, whilst also being their own version of a player who’s seriously in demand this month.

Why Joao Felix could be Man United’s own Matheus Cunha

Matheus Cunha has been a man in serious demand this month, unsurprisingly so given his form for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League throughout 2024/25.

The Brazilian has scored ten goals and registered four assists in his 21 outings to date, with Arsenal and Nottingham Forest two of the sides interested in a move for his signature.

The 25-year-old has also previously been on the radar of United in recent weeks, but their interest appears to have cooled with other targets such as Felix popping up in the meantime.

Cunha’s record in the top flight would undoubtedly give supporters another reason to crave his signing, but despite his lack of minutes to date, the Chelsea ace has managed to outperform him in numerous key areas – leading to FBref dubbing the former Atlético star as a similar player to the Brazilian.

Felix, who’s previously been dubbed “world-class” by former England international Glen Johnson, may have managed fewer combined goals and assists, but has produced more progressive carries and passes per 90 to date – showcasing his attacking prowess this season despite his lack of minutes.

He’s also managed to achieve a higher pass completion rate, along with more completed take-ons per 90, highlighting his ability to create opportunities within the final third.

His lack of game time at Chelsea since his move could allow the Red Devils to get themselves a hugely talented player for a fraction of the price this month, supercharging Amorim’s ambitions at the club in the process.

Whilst it’s unclear how much any deal would cost the hierarchy this month, he’s showcased that even with limited minutes, he’s capable of starring, potentially holding the key to transforming their fortunes in the coming months.

Man Utd have struck gold with "generational" star worth more than Gittens

Man Utd might decide to keep their star this winter

Emery must unleash Aston Villa’s answer to Isak in "nightmare" star

Aston Villa’s 2-1 win over Manchester City will have given Unai Emery plenty of confidence heading into the festive season, but the Spaniard won’t want his team resting on their laurels.

They face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Boxing Day afternoon, and it will be another tough challenge.

The Magpies have won their previous three games in all competitions, scoring 11 times in the process while conceding just once.

Emery will have to be wary of Alexander Isak, who impressed against Ipswich Town last weekend…

Why Aston Villa need to stop Alexander Isak

The Swedish striker enjoyed himself against the Tractor Boys, scoring a brilliant hat-trick to take his tally to 11 goals for the season.

This was the fourth Premier League game in a row he had found the back of the net and Emery will be hoping his defence can keep the former Real Sociedad striker quiet at St James’ Park this afternoon.

When compared to his positional peers in the top flight this term, Isak ranks in the top 2% for shot-creating actions (3.6), the top 2% for successful take-ons (1.43) and in the top 10% for non-penalty goals (0.75) per 90.

Newcastle Alexander Isak

If given time and space, Isak will punish Villa today, no doubt about it. With confidence flowing among the team, however, can Emery unleash his very own version of the Newcastle striker?

Aston Villa's very own Alexander Isak

Ollie Watkins will be desperate to add to his goal tally in the Northeast today and just as Isak is Newcastle’s talisman, Watkins has proven to be the main threat in front of goal for Villa in recent seasons.

Since the start of the 2023/24 campaign, the Englishman has netted 34 goals in all competitions along with providing 18 assists in the process.

Hailed as a “nightmare” to play against by English defender Conor Coady, Watkins has the potential to cause plenty of chaos to the Newcastle defence this afternoon. That’s a certainty.

Aside from his goal contributions, the centre-forward has created three big chances, averages 0.7 key passes and averages 2.6 shots per game in the top flight.

When compared to his peers in the Premier League this season, Watkins not only ranks in the top 2% for touches in the opposition penalty area (6.97) per 90, but he also ranks in the top 13% for total shots (3.4) and assists (0.24) per 90 in the top flight.

These statistics prove that he is among the finest strikers in the league by these metrics, which will certainly have Eddie Howe worried.

Jhon Duran has certainly stolen some of the limelight of late, but if Watkins is unleashed in the starting XI today, then he could make the supporters forget all about the Colombian’s exploits of late.

Another win would allow Villa to continue their ascent up the Premier League table towards the coveted Champions League spot.

The Toon will be tough to stop, especially Isak, but in Watkins, Emery has his own version of the Swedish sensation.

Arshdeep, Rabada death strangle after Shikhar Dhawan masterclass help Kings down Super Kings

Rayudu’s 39-ball 78 raised hopes of a Super Kings win only to be dashed by tight overs by Kings at the death

Alan Gardner25-Apr-2022

Arshdeep Singh bowled a nerveless 19th over•BCCI

Punjab Kings completed the double over Chennai Super Kings, closing out a tight game for a fourth win that moves them back to within touching distance of the top four. Shikhar Dhawan scored a stately, unbeaten 88 from 59 balls to anchor Kings’ rethought approach to setting a target, and although Ambati Rayudu kept Super Kings in the hunt until the closing overs, his 39-ball 78 was not enough to avert a sixth defeat from eight games.On the same pitch that Lucknow Super Giants had successfully defended 168 against Mumbai Indians the previous evening, Kings’ total of 187 for 4 always looked too much of an ask. Each of the three previous results at the Wankhede had gone the way of the team batting first, and although Ravindra Jadeja and Super Kings’ preference was to chase, a lack of contributions at the top of the order again undermined their chances.Super Kings had looked to be heading for a much heavier defeat, only for Rayudu’s innings, which included 13 boundaries, to repeatedly jangle the nerves of Mayank Agarwal and his men. Sandeep Sharma was collared for 23 in the 15th over, and with MS Dhoni waiting in the wings, and coming off the back of a vintage display of finishing in his previous outing, Super Kings could not be ruled out going into the final stretch.But Rayudu was visibly tiring and when he was cleaned up by Kagiso Rabada in the 18th, CSK were left needing 35 off 13 – an equation which became 27 off the last over, to be bowled by Rishi Dhawan. Dhoni smashed the first one into the crowd to threaten a reprise, and a wide from the next ball left Rishi feeling the heat. But a well-executed yorker was followed up by Dhoni holing out to deep midwicket and Punjab fans could breathe again.Kings change gears
The Kings’ approach to the first half of the tournament was to try and batter the opposition senseless from the off. They attacked throughout, but were bedeviled by wickets falling at an equal rate. Those tactics resulted in a few eye-catching wins and several costly implosions – none more so than in their last outing, when they were dismissed for 115 and lost to Delhi Capitals by nine wickets with 57 balls to spare.Here, after being inserted for the seventh time in a row, they took a more traditional approach, throttling back at the top and then opening up with wickets in hand. A score of 37 for 1 at the end of the powerplay gave Kings their slowest start to an innings this season, but Shikhar and the recalled Bhanuka Rajapaksa – the Sri Lankan back in the side for the first time since victory over Super Kings at the Brabourne three weeks ago – settled into a steady stand that provided the foundation for an imposing total.Rajapaksa needed some luck, dropped twice before reaching double-figures, but he made good on it to help Kings register their first century partnership of the campaign. The pair hit just six boundaries – one of which should have resulted Rajapaksa being caught at deep midwicket – in the first half of the innings, as Kings reached 72 for 1. But just as Super Giants did from an identical score in Sunday night’s game at the Wankhede, they effectively raised the tempo through the second ten.Shikhar lights the way
A tickled single in the second over of the match made Shikhar, playing his 200th IPL match, only the second man after Virat Kohli to score 6000 runs in the competition. By the time he had moved into the 60s, smashing back-to-back boundaries down the ground off Dwayne Bravo in the 16th over, Shikhar had notched more than 1000 of them against Super Kings alone. This was his ninth 50-plus score, and eventually enough to sink the Yellow Submarine.Shikhar’s approach set the template for his side, as he ticked along at just above a run-a-ball for the first half of the innings. A slog-swept six against Maheesh Theekshana and a driven four off Dwaine Pretorius were his only boundaries until he tucked into Mukesh Choudhary in the 12th, rattling off a pair of cuts that beat the cover sweeper on both sides, and then flicking four more off the pads through the ring with fine leg up. A 37-ball fifty kept Kings on course and, when Rajapaksa fell in the 18th over, Shikhar handed over the strike to Liam Livingstone, whose seven-ball cameo included taking Pretorius for 4-6-6.Ambati Rayudu’s valiant half-century could not save Super Kings from yet another defeat•PTI

Super Kings’ lack-of-powerplay
Super Kings have had problems getting their innings off to good starts all season, and once again they shipped early wickets in the chase. Sandeep was one of three changes to the Kings XI, as they sought greater batting depth at the expense of two genuine bowlers – Vaibhav Arora and Nathan Ellis; Sandeep had gone wicketless in his only previous appearance, the season opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore, but he struck with his fifth ball on this occasion, Robin Uthappa splicing a pull to midwicket.Mitchell Santner was again asked to perform the Moeen Ali role at No. 3, but he struggled along to 9 off 15 balls – four of which came via thick outside edge past the keeper – and was the second wicket to fall, in the sixth over, as Arshdeep Singh plucked out his leg stump. That dismissal meant Super Kings’ batting average in the powerplay for this season had dipped to 20.50 – the lowest of the ten teams. Their position in the match then got worse in the following over, as Rishi Dhawan, making his first IPL appearance since 2016, found a way through Shivam Dube to leave them three down and off the pace.Rayudu resurrects chase
With the fall of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Super Kings were 89 for 4 in the 13th over and seemingly well out of contention, only for Rayudu to unleash a display of clean hitting on the way to his first fifty of the season. Six times he launched the ball into the stands, including a brutal sequence of three in a row off Sandeep during an over that brought Super Kings back to within range. But with the asking rate down to 47 off the last four, Arshdeep delivered an excellent over of wide yorkers that cost just six runs, and Rabada’s dismissal of Rayudu meant there was too much to do – even for Dhoni.

Mattie McKiernan century boosts value of Shan Masood's double as Derbyshire keep control

Derbyshire are within reach of a first victory of the LV= Insurance County Championship season after Leicestershire finished day three at the Uptonsteel County Ground six wickets down in their second innings and still 172 behind.Leicestershire seamer Ed Barnes took five wickets in an innings for the first time earlier in the day as Derbyshire lost their last six first-innings wickets for 27.But after a maiden century from Mattie McKiernan enhanced the value of Shan Masood’s superb double-hundred on Friday, Derbyshire still totalled 531 for a lead of 318.It left Leicestershire, who had to fight rearguard actions to emerge with a draw from both of their opening Division Two matches, faced with surviving two sessions just to take the contest into the final day. They succeeded in that but it will need an extraordinary effort from their tail to avoid defeat this time.The morning belonged to McKiernan and latterly to Barnes, the Leicestershire seam bowler, whose dismissal of McKiernan launched an extraordinary spell within a spell that brought him all of his five wickets in the space of 26 deliveries at a cost of just eight runs.McKiernan, a 27-year-old legspinner who spent more than 12 years at Lancashire without making a senior appearance, has played more white-ball cricket than red since joining Derbyshire in 2018 but that should soon be corrected on this evidence.After playing an important role as one of double-centurion Masood’s partners on Friday, sharing a stand of 129 for the fourth wicket, McKiernan cut Callum Parkinson’s left-arm spin for three fours before moving into the 90s by pulling Barnes for six. His century came off 189 balls and contained 11 fours as well as that six.Against a Leicestershire attack in which Will Davis could not participate because of injury, McKiernan and Leus Du Plooy took Derbyshire’s first-innings total beyond 500 for the second successive match – and in consecutive innings for only the second time in the county’s history – but when Barnes thudded one into McKiernan’s front pad to have him leg before, the narrative of the morning changed dramatically.Barnes, who was nought for 93 before umpire Neil Bainton granted him this success, dismissed Anuj Dal lbw and had Alex Thomson caught behind from consecutive balls, before Nick Potts chopped on and Sam Conners was bowled. His final analysis read 5 for 101 but his 10-over spell on the day was worth 5 for 28.After Parkinson wrapped up the innings on the stroke of lunch when Suranga Lakmal chipped him straight to short midwicket, Derbyshire made important inroads before tea as opener Hassan Azad and Leicestershire skipper Colin Ackermann both fell, along with George Rhodes.Thomson accounted for Azad, the off-spinner’s turning delivery finding a thin outside edge that turned into a looping catch to Wayne Madsen at slip, seemingly via the left glove of wicketkeeper Brooke Guest. He then bowled Rhodes before the introduction of Dal’s medium pace induced a miscued drive from Ackermann that went straight to short cover.A stubborn 33 from Sam Evans ended when he was leg before to Sam Conners and Wiaan Mulder’s rather more entertaining 25 was terminated by the same method by the 19-year-old Potts, then Thomson held a stunning low return catch to remove Harry Swindells, with Louis Kimber 33 not out at the close.

Euro giants trying to sign £120k-p/w Newcastle star PIF don’t want to sell

One of Newcastle United’s highest-earning players is now being chased by top clubs in Europe, according to a new report from Spain.

Newcastle transfer news

After a disappointing first-half of the season that sees Newcastle sit firmly in the bottom half of the Premier League table, manager Eddie Howe has hinted on numerous occasions that he needs reinforcements in January. Getting them, however, remains unlikely.

The Magpies have spent over £400 million on new players since PIF took over in 2021, but their revenue remains relatively low. As such, they must now avoid spending large sums of money to avoid breaking Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe

“It’s what you can do, not what you want to do,” Howe said in a press conference earlier this week.

“I keep saying the same thing about January, I wouldn’t expect us to be in a position to be too active in the market,” he explained. “As we currently stand up, things can change. You know, if we trade players, of course that’s different, but if we don’t trade players, I would expect us to be quiet.”

Sell to buy on Tyneside?

One player that Newcastle could reportedly sell to raise money to spend after the New Year is Sandro Tonali. The Italian midfielder has, according to reports from Spain, been identified as a main target for Serie A giants Juventus, who are seeking a solution to the inconsistency in their midfield.

Tonali’s former club AC Milan are also thought to be interested in bringing him back to the San Siro, just 18 months after he left for St. James’ Park. The Spanish publication claims that Milan’s interest in Tonali has been boosted by a recent injury to his former midfield teammate Ismael Bennacer, but PIF do not want to sell the player, potentially making it a costly operation for either Italian side.

ByAngus Sinclair Dec 13, 2024

TalkSPORT claims however that the Magpies are also under pressure to sell to avoid breaching Premier League spending rules. Gazzetta dello Sport, meanwhile, reports that Tonali himself is also keen to leave England and return to Italy.

Tonali’s debut season at St. James’ Park was significantly disrupted after he received a ten-month suspension for violating betting rules. Speaking earlier this year, Tonali opened up about his difficult first season in England.

“Last year’s was a very hard, but very productive journey. I will always carry with me the memory of the year I spent off the field because it is right not to forget it,” he said. “I think when a player trains all week without his ultimate goal, which is the game, he finds a sense of emptiness within himself.”

The Italy international, who earns £120,000-per-week at Newcastle, added: “It wasn’t easy to be away from home for the first year without playing an official game, but just trying to maintain fitness. That was the challenge I had to take as seriously as possible.”

Mitchell Marsh returns in style as Scorchers tune up for playoffs

Mitchell Marsh made a spectacular return to the BBL as minor premiers Perth Scorchers tuned up for the playoffs with a six-wicket victory over Brisbane Heat.In their regular season finale, a reloaded Scorchers overhauled Heat’s 7 for 155 with eight balls to spare highlighted by Marsh’s brutal 59 off 34 balls.The match played at almost empty Marvel Stadium lost its edge before a ball was bowled when Sydney Sixers’ earlier defeat to Adelaide Strikers locked up top spot for Scorchers and a place in the Qualifier on Saturday between the top two teams on the ladder.Seventh-placed Heat, whose campaign had been derailed by Covid-19, were out of playoff contention and their season ends against Sixers on Wednesday.Marsh returns with a bangMarsh lit up the BBL before being called up for Australia’s Ashes squad and he has clearly not lost his form after destroying the Heat. After the early wickets of Josh Inglis and Kurtis Patterson, Marsh returned to his favoured ground where he twice bludgeoned Melbourne Renegades last month.He started slowly by knocking the ball around before launching a slog sweep for six off left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann in the 11th over. Marsh then put the foot down in a remarkable power surge with 35 runs from 12 balls as he muscled the ball to all corners to pulverise a deflated Heat. He fell shortly after but the damage had been done in an ominous warning ahead of the playoffs. He combined well with Colin Munro, who returned after recovering from Covid-19.Inglis, who like Marsh had been part of Australia’s Ashes squad, missed out on invaluable time in the middle making just 18 in his first BBL match since December 28. He has scored just 45 from six innings this season after being locked in a running battle with Alex Carey for Australia’s vacant wicket-keeping position ahead of the Ashes.Swepson shines for Heat Heat’s bowling has looked formidable after the recent inclusions of Michael Neser and Mitchell Swepson, who were both part of Australia’s Ashes squad. They have missed most of the BBL but showed their prowess with three wickets between them but there wasn’t much Heat could do when a red-hot Marsh started teeing off.In an encouragement for Australian cricket, legspinner Swepson bowled well and tied down Scorchers mid-innings in a notable improvement from his ragged performance against Melbourne Stars a day earlier.He picked up the wickets of Patterson and Marsh to stand out for Heat, who would have wished he was available for much more of the season.Peter Hatzoglou picked up two wickets and conceded just 17 runs in his four overs•Getty Images

Hatzoglou and Agar restrict HeatWith the match essentially a dead rubber, Scorchers appeared to go through the motions with a flat effort early before clawing back control in trademark fashion after the powerplay. In his return, Marsh made an immediate impact with the wicket of Chris Lynn in his first over as Scorchers’ spin duo of Peter Hatzoglou and Ashton Agar took over with a strangulation in the middle overs.Legspinner Hatzoglou has proven a good recruit having crossed over from Renegades and he bowled miserly while claiming the wickets of Ben Duckett and Nathan McSweeney. He was well supported by Agar, who returned from a shoulder injury, in what has become an important tandem for Scorchers’ attack.It wasn’t all rosy though with seamer Andrew Tye, who has had a stellar season, unusually wayward leaking 37 runs from three overs while speedster Lance Morris was also expensive.Bryant rediscovers big-hitting exploits In his first match since January 1, Max Bryant returned in style in his best knock in a difficult season, where he had made double figures just three times in eight previous innings.Bryant dominated the strike early and regulated Lynn to an onlooker as he smashed 34 of Heat’s 39 runs in the four-over powerplay. But he lacked support with wickets tumbling regularly as Heat lost their momentum. They finally used the power surge in the 16th over and it provided the necessary tonic with Bryant smashing a six off Marsh over midwicket while skipper Jimmy Peirson also swung lustily.Having posted his highest BBL score, Bryant eyed his maiden century but fell short after holing out in the 18th over. A six off the last ball from Peirson, who finished 31 not out off 19 balls, pushed them past 150 but it was another mishmash of a batting effort from Heat who have long frustrated their supporters.

Henriques powers Sixers to unlikely victory against Hurricanes

Captain’s knock of 73 helps defending champions recover from early collapse to post 144

AAP08-Dec-2021A captain’s knock from Moises Henriques lifted defending champions Sydney Sixers to an unlikely 14-run BBL win over the Hobart Hurricanes.Henriques hit 73 from 48 balls at University of Tasmania Stadium in Launceston on Wednesday night after his side fell to 5 for 39 in the ninth over. His innings pushed the Sixers to 9 for 144, with Hurricanes’ chase falling short despite the best efforts of Peter Handscomb (47 from 31).Hobart needed 23 off the final 12 deliveries but managed just eight, as Sixers’ England imports Chris Jordan and Tom Curran held their nerve with the ball.After an unbeaten 76 in Sixers’ record-breaking BBL win over the Stars on Sunday, Henriques shared a crucial 62-run partnership with Curran. He clawed back momentum when Hurricanes turned to their part-timers in the middle overs, before falling in the final over to Nathan Ellis.Hurricanes got off to a sluggish start in reply, with opener D’Arcy Short soaking up 36 balls for his 21. They fell to 5 for 78 in the 14th over and couldn’t muster the required late blows against the reigning champions.Hayden Kerr picked up the important wickets of opener Matthew Wade and powerful hitter Tim David. Jordan Silk was at his mercurial best in the field, snaffling two catches including a low effort to remove Wade, and also saving a six with a leaping tap-back.It was a remarkable turnaround for Sixers, who lost 4 for 6 in the space of 14 deliveries after losing the toss and being sent in to bat.Ellis started the rot when he bowled in-form Josh Philippe with a slower ball in the fourth over. James joined him when he was stumped off the first delivery from the part-time spin of David. Tom Rogers, who finished with Hobart’s best figures of 3 for 28, then removed Daniel Hughes and Silk cheaply.
