Arrested Rajasthan Royals cricketers Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila have been remanded to judicial custody till June 18. A Delhi court rejected their bail applications in the spot-fixing case after the Delhi Police decided to invoke the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against the accused.MCOCA is a special law passed by the Maharashtra state government to tackle organised crime syndicates and terrorism and contains far stricter provisions relating to bail and admissibility of confessions compared to the Indian Penal Code. It allows police longer spells of custody of the accused.”It is extremely inappropriate for the Delhi police to invoke a draconian law like MCOCA,” Sreesanth’s lawyer Rebecca John said. “There seems to be a duplicity in the standards of both the Delhi & the Mumbai police – this is a Maharashtra law and we see that two big catches of the Mumbai police have been released on bail today. Others are walking free while the law has been invoked without any evidence against the players who are the most vulnerable.”Chavan had earlier been granted conditional bail till June 6 to get married in Mumbai. The three Royals cricketers were arrested on May 16, following which they were suspended by the BCCI pending an inquiry. The Royals franchise had suspended the contracts of all three players and also filed a police complaint against them. The players were allegedly promised money ranging from US$36,000 to 109,000 by bookies for each over of under-performance.Eleven bookies were also arrested along with the three players. One of the middlemen was identified as Jiju Janardhan, described by the police as Sreesanth’s close friend and team-mate at the Ernakulam club. Delhi Police had initially registered cases under the Indian Penal Code section 420 and 120B, which deal with fraud, cheating, and criminal conspiracy.

طالب فاروق جعفر نجم نادي الزمالك السابق، المدرب الحالي للنادي الكولومبي خوان كارلوس أوسوريو بالسماح للاعب سيف فاروق جعفر بالرحيل في حال عدم الحاجة إلى خدماته.

وقال فاروق جعفر في تصريحات لبرنامج “بوكس تو بوكس” عبر قناة “آي تي سي” الفضائية: “إذا أوسوريو ليس بحاجة لسيف فاروق جعفر فليتركه يرحل عن الزمالك، وكذلك يجب توضيح وجهة نظر اللجنة الفنية للنادي، المدرب لا يعتمد عليه رغم ظهوره بشكل طيب في معظم المباريات التي شارك فيها”.

وتابع لاعب الزمالك السابق: “لا نريد تكرار ما يحدث مع يوسف أسامة نبيه، والذي قام بالبحث عن مستقبله خارج النادي، لكن أنا منتظر موقف نادي الزمالك ولكن لن يلعب رغمًا عن المدير الفني، لا أعرف لماذا لا يلعب سيف جعفر في المباريات الأخيرة، ويتم الاعتماد على الصفقات التي لم تفيد النادي وجعلته في مركز غير جيد بالدوري”.

وأكمل: “الزمالك أشرك الصفقات الجديدة رغم أن بعضها لا يصلح للعب في الفريق ولم يتم الاستفادة منهم، ويتم انفاق ملايين الجنيهات ثم أصبح هؤلاء مرشحين للرحيل بعدما وضعوا الفريق في المركز الرابع، وبدلا من إعطاء الفرصة لأبناء النادي الذين جلبوا الدوري مرتين والتجديد لهم يتم تجاهلهم”.

وأضاف: “أوسوريو سيرحل آجلا أم عاجلًا وأفكاره الفنية لا تناسب نادي الزمالك، ولم يواجه نادي كبير حتى الآن وفيريرا الذي كان أفضل منه بمراحل رحل بعدما ارتكب عدة أخطاء ولا أريد أن أتحدث كثيرًا حتى لا يقال إنني أهاجم الزمالك”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “الزمالك لم يتفاوض مع نجلي ولا أعرف من يجلس معه، لابد أن يتفاوض معه المشرف على الكرة، ومع احترامي للجنة الفنية ووجهات النظر فأن مجلس الإدارة لهم الرأي الأول والأخير واللاعب لديه عروض كثيرة”.

وختم حديثه: “لا يوجد ما يمنع رحيل سيف جعفر حال عدم الحاجة لجهوده، لست موافق على ما يحدث مع نجلي في الفترة الأخيرة من جانب الجهاز الفني وأريد أن يتم حسم الموقف سواء بتجديد عقده أو برحيله، بدلا من الضغط على اللاعب، وتكرار موقف يوسف نبيه الذي رحل عن النادي وسيتم التعاقد مع لاعب آخر مقابل 40 مليون جنيه”.

Former New Zealand seamer retired from Tests at Hamilton this winter

Vithushan Ehantharajah30-Apr-2025Former New Zealand seam bowler Tim Southee is being considered as England men’s bowling consultant, replacing James Anderson who had held the role since retiring from Test cricket in July.With Anderson proritising a season-long deal to play for Lancashire this summer, BBC Sport reported on Tuesday that Southee, who himself retired from international cricket after England’s tour of New Zealand at the end of 2024, is the frontrunner to fill that gap.Southee, 36, finished a distinguished 16-year international career as the Black Caps’ leading wicket-taker, and would reunite with his former captain and good friend Brendon McCullum should he join England’s backroom staff. The pair represented New Zealand together on 170 occasions – McCullum skippering for 78 of them – while also sharing the field at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the IPL and Middlesex in the T20 Blast. McCullum even presented Southee with a bottle of red wine signed by the England team at the conclusion of Southee’s 107th and final Test in Hamilton.McCullum has long held the belief that Southee would make a good bowling coach. It helps, too, that Southee has a good relationship with many of the current squad, including Test captain Ben Stokes.Related

Ideally, England would have a bowling consultant in place for the summer to oversee both red-and white-ball formats. It would also be beneficial for the sake of continuity that the successful candidate continues through for the Ashes. Anderson, a veteran of five tours of Australia, could end up fulfilling that role if, for instance, Southee could not commit to the winter.England’s international season gets underway on May 22 with a one-off Test against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge, followed by a five-match series against India, which is sandwiched by limited-overs series against West Indies and South Africa. There is also a three-match T20I tour of Ireland in September.England are due to name their squad for the Zimbabwe Test on Friday. Given the spate of injuries, it is likely to feature a relatively inexperienced bowling group, including a maiden call-up for Essex seamer Sam Cook.Southee was already down to feature in the English summer through his £63,000 deal with Birmingham Phoenix in the men’s Hundred. Upon his retirement, he stated a desire to continue on the franchise circuit, and played the entirety of this year’s ILT20 tournament for Sharjah Warriors. As such, any prospective deal with the ECB will require him to park what remains of his playing career for the time being.That being said, there is no international clash with the Hundred; Phoenix’s season begins four days after the end of the final India Test at the Kia Oval, with the Hundred final two days before the one-day series with South Africa. And next year’s ILT20 begins five days after the scheduled final day of fifth Ashes Test in Sydney.Anderson, meanwhile, is still yet to make a County Championship appearance for Lancashire this summer as he continues to battle a calf injury. Having missed the opening month’s Division Two fixtures, he will also sit out this week’s match with Gloucestershire and perhaps the following round against Northamptonshire. A home meeting with Derbyshire on May 16 has been earmarked for a potential return to action.

Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh allrounder, will be rested during the unofficial T20 triangular series in Zimbabwe scheduled to start on June 18. Shakib asked to be rested and his request was approved, keeping in view his recent workload. He will be replaced by batsman Jahurul Islam in the squad.”The BCB Cricket Operations Department decided to withdraw Shakib from the tour squad following a request from the player,” a board release stated. “The break was approved considering the continuous cricket Shakib has played over the last two years.”Shakib, who had played each of Bangladesh’s 15 Tests, 70 ODIs and eight Twenty20 internationals since the start of 2009, said he was looking forward to time off. “It feels really good. I want to enjoy the break,” Sakib said. “I don’t want to talk or think about cricket during this break.”This year, Shakib also played for Khulna Royal Bengals in the inaugural Bangladesh Premier League, in which he was Man of the Series, and Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. He is currently the No.1 ranked allrounder in Tests and ODIs.Jahurul has played just the one Twenty20 for Bangladesh, against Australia in the 2010 World Twenty20.

International cricket could next year be held in Australia in April for the first time since 1877, with the possibility of Canberra hosting the national team for the first time. The has reported that Australia are likely to host New Zealand in two limited-overs matches in the first week of April 2013, as part of the city’s centenary celebrations.Canberra’s Manuka Oval has been the venue of two one-day internationals, between South Africa and Zimbabwe in the 1992 World Cup, and between India and Sri Lanka in 2007-08. It is also the site of the annual Prime Minister’s XI game, but it is the only state or territory capital yet to host the Australia team in a full international match.”We’re looking at the centenary year as not just a one-off big party, it’s about setting the groundwork for longer-term legacies,” Andrew Barr, the Australian Capital Territory’s sports minister, told the paper. “There certainly was interest from Cricket Australia as a longer-term goal to look at having more international cricket in Canberra and they’re seeing the centenary year as a great opportunity.”This is obviously a big thing for Canberra, we’ve never had the national team in the national capital so Cricket Australia, the Australian government, the ACT government were all very keen for that to occur and have worked very hard behind the scenes to get us to this point.”Should the plan go ahead, it will be the first occasion international cricket has been held in Australia in April since the second Test of all, which started at the MCG on March 31, 1877. A Cricket Australia spokesman confirmed that CA was keen to hold cricket in Canberra next year as part of the centenary celebrations, but said details were yet to be finalised.

The five-ball over gave MS Dhoni an opportunity to raise the question that if with so much technology available the officials couldn’t ensure the proper counting of balls in an over

Sidharth Monga at the Adelaide Oval14-Feb-2012India don’t want to create controversy about the five-ball 30th over that may or may not have made a difference to the final result of a tight game, a tie. However, it gave MS Dhoni an opportunity to raise the question that, with so much technology available, why couldn’t the officials ensure the proper counting of balls, and why blindly follow the DRS?The essence of Dhoni’s comments, though, was that this could easily be turned into a controversy but he didn’t want to do so. “Duncan [Fletcher, the coach] told me about it,” Dhoni said. “There have been five-ball overs in the past, but we have seen the third umpire interfere and you have to come back and bowl that ball. Usually that’s what has happened to us also. It didn’t happen in this game, fair enough. Nothing much can be done now.”I don’t know [if a full over might have broken the tie] because you could have had a dot ball. It happens in cricket, so maybe it would have been a dot.”Dhoni said India were not going to lodge an official complaint. “Well because it’s done and dusted,” he said. “That’s what is important. We can create a big fuss out of it but what’s the point? It’s like a controversy standing right at the edge, just about to happen, because we have seen in the past that we have bowled an over and they have almost changed ends. But then the third umpire interferes and says, ‘Okay you have to bowl one more ball in this particular over”. It didn’t happen in this game. I don’t know why. We don’t really want to create a controversy.”As an afterthought, Dhoni took a dig at DRS. “If this can happen then I don’t know why people back DRS so much,” Dhoni said. “We have seen people happy with DRS in one series as long as it goes in their favour. Once it doesn’t go in their favour, they are quite unhappy about it so. I am quite happy with three individuals. If I am not wrong, two umpires in the middle and the match referee and the scorer [are there], and it has still happened. Better off accepting it because we humans are bound to make mistakes.”The said over was, at that time, the second best of India’s innings. Gautam Gambhir and Dhoni had taken nine off Malinga when over was called after five balls. Mahela Jayawardene, Sri Lanka’s captain, said he didn’t know of the error. “I am not complaining,” he joked.

South Australia’s batsmen made a firm start to their opening Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales, though it might have been better than a stumps score of 4 for 309

South Australia’s batsmen made a firm start to their opening Sheffield Shield match against New South Wales, though it might have been better than a stumps score of 4 for 309.The Redbacks began soundly on a dry surface after winning the toss, Daniel Harris adding 164 with the captain Michael Klinger in good time before they were separated by the left-arm wrist spin of Simon Katich.The rest of the day was a more balanced affair, as NSW took regular wickets to prevent the formation of another major partnership, preventing the strokemakers Callum Ferguson and Tom Cooper from exploiting the strong start they were given.Lacking the spin of Beau Casson due to the unfortunate return of a heart condition, the visitors bowled with some precision despite the lack of help from the surface. Casson’s absence was sadder still in the prevailing conditions, for Katich extracted turn from the pitch that will interest the Australian off spinner Nathan Lyon, playing his first Shield game for SA since a successful Test debut in Sri Lanka.Another recent Test debutant, Trent Copeland, did not claim a wicket but was his usual stingy self, moving the ball a little in each direction. Mitchell Starc and Moises Henriques also bowled the odd decent spell, while Sean Abbott claimed first-class victim No. 1 when Klinger fenced to slip.Klinger had been the more reserved of SA’s batsmen in the morning session, absorbing the force of the new ball while Harris played his shots. As befits one of the more capable Twenty20 openers in the country, Harris drove, cut and pinged the ball crisply off his pads to take SA to 0 for 90 at lunch.The serene progress was maintained until the 51st over. Harris had reached the outskirts of a century but Katich turned a ball back to strike the opener marginally in line with the off stump and win an lbw verdict. Katich celebrated with vigour, but there was better to come when Ferguson, lately a curious omission from national squads, pushed firmly at a delivery angled across him and was pouched at slip by Copeland.Cooper was quickly into his stride, driving sweetly either side of tea, but Klinger’s occupation was ended by Abbott, and soon after Cooper tried to force through the offside and was held in the slips by the ever-involved Katich, who had also caught Klinger.Aiden Blizzard and Daniel Christian played with greater circumspection but the odd attractive stroke to keep SA in a healthy position at the close.

Dawid Malan scored a career-best 143 and his first Championship hundred ofthe summer to move Middlesex into the driving seat at Lord’s against DivisionTwo rivals Derbyshire

30-Jul-2011ScorecardDawid Malan scored a career-best 143 and his first Championship hundred ofthe summer to move Middlesex into the driving seat at Lord’s against DivisionTwo rivals Derbyshire.The left-hander batted just over five hours in helping thehost side reach 397 for 9 at the mid-point of the game for an overall lead of145, with one first-innings wicket remaining.Poor form and a niggling hamstring injury caused Malan to suffer an horrendousfirst half to the campaign in which he mustered only 234 runs in nine startswith a dismal season’s best of 45. But, in sultry conditions, Malan showed improved levels of patience and composure to crack 18 boundaries in a 262-ball stay which also helped his sidegarner four batting bonus points.Derbyshire used eight bowlers – with Greg Smith and Jonathan Clare the pickwith three wickets apiece – and toiled hard throughout to pick up nine wicketson the day, including that of Malan four overs from the close.Malan featured in a useful stands with Sam Robson, who contributed his thirdscore of 94 of the summer, and Tim Murtagh as the hosts successfully chased downa fourth batting bonus point with six balls to spare. All this came after a disappointing start for the home side who, having posted 119 for the first wicket, began to lose wickets at steady intervals.Opening batsman Scott Newman perished for 59 when his late decision to pad upto a Clare off-cutter saw him go lbw and, eight overs later, Chris Rogers wentfor 11 against his former side when chasing a wide drive – only to edge towicketkeeper Luke Sutton.Soon after lunch Robson, having looked in little or no trouble for 184 balls,went after another wide delivery from Ross Whiteley to slice a drive into thehands of gully. Home skipper Neil Dexter found a leading edge to give Smith a comfortablereturn catch and Jamie Dalrymple clipped a leg-stump half-volley straight tomidwicket to make it 262 for 5.Malan teamed up with John Simpson to post the Middlesex 300 before Simpsonfeathered a good ball from Mark Turner to Sutton, then Tom Smith was cleanbowled after pushing outside the line of namesake Greg’s arm-ball.Malan and Murtagh (19) regrouped but, late in the day, Murtagh chipped backanother return catch to Greg Smith and Malan, having beaten his career-best byone, flat-batted a Clare Long hop straight to Wayne Madsen at backward point anddeparted to a rousing reception.
