Three balls into his fifth over, he felt pain in his left side and immediately headed off the ground
Alex Malcolm06-Feb-2024Australia quick Lance Morris suffered a left side strain during the third ODI against West Indies in Canberra, leaving him in doubt to tour New Zealand with the Test squad later this month.Morris had taken his first two ODI wickets in a fiery spell to leave West Indies in tatters, before they were eventually bowled out for 86. But three balls into the fifth over of his first spell, having claimed 2 for 13 with a maiden, he felt pain in his left side, and immediately grabbed his cap and headed off the ground to get assessed.Cricket Australia confirmed shortly after that Morris had suffered a left side strain, and would head for a scan at some stage to determine the extent of the injury.Related

“He just said he had a bit of pain in the side and was struggling a bit, so he’ll get a scan in the next 12 to 24 hours and we’ll know more then,” captain Steven Smith said. “He was probably a little bit nervous the other day making his debut, but he was starting to get some nice rhythm.”He’s been great around the group, for over a year now he’s been there or thereabouts and it’s great to see him get a couple of games in.”It leaves Morris in doubt for the two Tests against New Zealand, the first of which starts in Wellington on February 29, although there was a chance Morris would not be required despite travelling with the Test team through the early part of the Australian summer.Morris is yet to make his Test debut but was carefully managed through the early part of the home season to be fit for the Pakistan Test series. However, he was not required to play, as Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood played all five Tests against both Pakistan and West Indies without issue.Morris’ injury comes after Australia’s other back-up Test paceman Scott Boland suffered knee soreness during Victoria’s Sheffield Shield match against South Australia at the Junction Oval in Melbourne this week, although he was able to bowl in the second innings after getting assessed.Australia are expected to name their Test squad for the New Zealand series later this week.

Jovic set to sign with Real OviedoGiakoumakis might remain with Cruz AzulCruz Azul debuts in Leagues Cup tonight vs. SoundersFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱Getty Images SportWHAT HAPPENED?
AC Milan forward Luka Jovic has turned down an offer from Cruz Azul, bringing an end to the club’s pursuit of the Serbian striker. Despite being close to a deal just weeks ago, the move ultimately fell through.
Sources told ESPN that Jovic’s decision was influenced by a desire to remain in Europe, with both sporting ambitions and family considerations playing a role. While Cruz Azul had shown strong interest and held advanced talks, the club’s inability to clear a foreign-player spot on the roster became a major obstacle.

With negotiations stalled, Jovic is now expected to sign with newly promoted La Liga side Real Oviedo in the coming hours. A move to Spain is currently seen as his most likely path to stay in top-tier European football.
Back in Mexico, Cruz Azul will continue exploring options to strengthen its attack. The club is still trying to offload one of its foreign players (Gabriel Fernández or Giorgos Giakoumakis) to create room for a new signing.
Getty Images SportDID YOU KNOW?
A return for Gabriel “Toro” Fernández hasn’t been ruled out, and Giorgos Giakoumakis could also be reintegrated into the squad. Neither player is currently in Nicolás Larcamón’s plans, but the failed signing of Jovic may force the club to reconsider. The Greek striker has attracted interest from Charlotte FC, although no agreement has been reached.

كشفت تقارير صحفية موقف تجديد عقد الدولي البرازيلي فينسيوس جونيور، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد خلال الفترة المقبلة.
ولا تزال الشكوك تحوم حول مستقبل جناح ريال مدريد ومنتبخب البرازيل، بعدما رفض العرض المالي الذي قدمته إدارة ريال مدريد ومطالبته بالمساواة مع زميله كيليان مبابي.
ولم يبدأ فينيسيوس المباراة السابقة التي جمعت فريقه أمام ريال أوفيدو ضمن منافسات الجولة الثانية من بطولة الدوري الإسباني.

ووفقًا لصحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، فإن ريال مدريد هادئ ولن يتقدم أي خطوة غير متوقعة، وذلك يعني أنهم متمسكون بالعرض المالي الذي قدموه لـ فينيسيوس ولن يتراجعوا عنه حتى ولو خاطروا برحيله عن الفريق مجانًا عند انتهاء عقده في عام 2027.
وفي سياق متصل، كشفت صحيفة “إل لارجويرو” أن المفاوضات لم تنقطع، بل تم تأجيلها ببساطة إلى نهاية الموسم الجاري، وسيتم اتخاذ القرارات حينها من دون إجراء محادثات أخرى.
تعليق المفاوضات لا يعني نية فينيسيوس البحث عن مخرج من ريال مدريد، بحسب الصحيفة، فقد أظهر البرازيلي الكثير من الولاء والحب للنادي منذ انضمامه إليه في سن الـ18، وهو ما جعله يرفض العرض السعودي الكبير.
Australian allrounder returns to Edgbaston after missing 2023 tournament through injury
ESPNcricinfo staff21-May-2024Ellyse Perry will captain Birmingham Phoenix in the Women’s Hundred this season, taking up the role she was set to fulfil last summer before being ruled out through injury.The allrounder has played just one season of the Hundred, in 2022, scoring 134 runs in six matches. Phoenix’s plans to build a team around her in 2023 were scuppered when Cricket Australia ruled Perry out after she damaged her left knee in a preceding ODI series against Ireland.Eve Jones deputised as captain, but Phoenix failed to win a match, losing seven out of eight to finish bottom of the table. Perry and fellow overseas star Sophie Devine were among seven players retained by Phoenix in March’s draft.Related

Perry’s return to Edgbaston is as much a boost for the Hundred as for her team. The 33-year-old is one of the most high-profile players in the sport with 314 caps for her country across an international career in its 18th year.She was the leading run-scorer in this season’s WPL, scoring 347 runs at 69.40 while also taking seven wickets for eventual winners Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Perry also has a wealth of leadership experience with Sydney Sixers in the Women’s Big Bash League, where she became the first player to captain 100 WBBL matches.”I’m incredibly honoured to be named Birmingham Phoenix captain,” Perry said. “It is a wonderful club which means a lot to me. It was really disappointing to miss out on joining the group last season so I’m really excited to be back this year.”I’m looking forward to joining the whole playing squad, both our existing and new players to work towards a really successful season for the Phoenix.”Elsewhere, defending women’s champions Southern Brave have announced Georgia Adams as their new captain following Anya Shrubsole’s retirement. Shrubsole signed off by helping Brave break their duck as losing finalists in the first two editions, thanks in part to Adams, who led the competition with 16 wickets.Adams is captain of Southern Vipers, the domestic women’s side who are also based at the Utilita Bowl. Last year, she achieved the double of winning the 50-over Rachel Heyhoe Flint Trophy and Twenty20 Charlotte Edwards Cup.”It’s a privilege to be taking over from Anya who was an amazing captain and someone the whole team looked up to,” Adams said. “I’m super excited to get going and really looking forward to leading a fantastic group of players and trying to defend the trophy.”Brave also confirmed James Vince will continue to lead their side in the Men’s Hundred, having guided the team to success in the inaugural 2021 season.

Former South Africa limited-overs captain Johan Botha has been appointed as the new head coach of BBL reigning champions Brisbane Heat and Queensland in state cricket for the next three years.Botha, 42, was appointed in the wake of Wade Seccombe’s departure. He has previous head coach experience in the PSL, CPL and ILT20. Queensland WNCL and Brisbane Heat women’s coach Ashley Noffke and former England allrounder Adam Hollioake were also in the mix for the job.Related

Speaking in Brisbane on Tuesday following his appointment, Botha said he already had a few existing relationships with Queensland and Heat players. He had played with Michael Neser at Adelaide Strikers and coached Colin Munro in the PSL but had also played against a lot of the players in his career. He said his experience of coaching Usman Khawaja at Islamabad United should give the players a sense that his style is different to his approach as a player.”I think chatting to him [Khawaja] during PSL and post PSL he just said to me, he was so surprised at how different I was as a coach to a player,” Botha said. “I think he’s had a little taste of me. Hopefully, he’s spread that to the group that what you played against is a little bit different, which I think is a good thing.”Botha is an Australian citizen after moving to Adelaide in 2012 to play full-time for South Australia which effectively ended his international career with South Africa after he had played five Tests, 78 ODIs and 40 T20Is, including captaining his country in 21 white-ball matches.He captained South Australia in the Sheffield Shield and Marsh Cup for two years before resigning midway through the 2014-15 season to allow Travis Head to take over. Botha also has extensive playing experience in the BBL having played 71 matches with Adelaide Strikers, Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes. He retired abruptly in 2019 to take up a coaching opportunity in the PSL but came out of retirement as a fill-in during the Covid-ravaged season of 2020-21.Botha has accrued extensive coaching experience around the world in recent years. He has been head coach of three PSL sides, Multan Sultans, Karachi Kings and Islamabad United. He also coached Guyana Amazon Warriors in the CPL and led them to the final in 2019 with a unique spin-heavy team.He was the head coach of Sharjah Warriors in the ILT20 last season, although they finished last, and was assistant coach of Seattle Orcas in MLC when they finished runners-up last year. He was also an assistant coach with Strikers in the BBL as recently as 2022-23.Johan Botha captained South Africa 21 times•Getty Images
Botha credited the late Australian great Dean Jones and Tom Moody as key coaching mentors during his early forays into coaching.”I think the big thing with Deano was he was so far ahead of his generation,” he said. “He understood T20 cricket. He never played it but he just understood it. And he was great for just relating to players.”He almost did a Phil Jackson-Dennis Rodman scenario once. He let Alex Hales go back to Dubai for five days. And I said, ‘Deano what are you doing? He’s never going to come back.’ But he said, ‘Just trust me, he will come back, and he will make some runs.’ And that’s exactly what he did. So that was a great example to trust your players. And I’m not sure if I could have done it at that point. But I trusted him, he was the man in charge, and sure enough, Halesy came back and he made some runs for us.”The coaching recruitment process was run by Queensland’s head of elite cricket Joe Dawes, CEO Terry Svenson and Queensland board director and former Test wicketkeeper Ian Healy. It is understood Dawes and the Queensland Cricket Board were looking for a coach with a harder edge and they feel they have found that person in Botha.”Johan is a fiercely motivated and determined person and has consistently displayed those traits during his playing and coaching career,” Dawes said. “He is very much at the cutting edge of the game internationally and will bring a fresh and dynamic outlook to our organisation and especially the Bulls and championship Brisbane Heat squads.”Botha acknowledged his biggest challenge will be coaching the Shield side given all of his coaching experience has come in the T20 space. “I’ve played a lot of four-day and one-day cricket but I haven’t coached it,” he said. “So I think that’s going to be a little bit of a challenge to start with.”
Former Liverpool star David James doubts the club "need" to sign Alexander Isak this summer to defend their Premier League title.
James doubts moveReds eyeing £150 million ($200m) swoopIsak keen on switchFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Liverpool are continuing to pursue a deal to sign Isak from Newcastle in what could be a British record transfer. However, Carragher has already claimed "something doesn't feel right" about the move because of the sheer expense involved and now James has echoed his objections.
AdvertisementGetty Images SportTHE BIGGER PICTURE
The Reds have already spent almost £300m ($403m) this summer on Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. The latter is capable of playing out wide but has made his name as a striker and James feels they already have more than enough to become champions without the Swede.
WHAT JAMES SAIDSpeaking at the launch of Final One Standing by William Hill, James said: “Liverpool don’t need Alexander Isak to win the Premier League. It’s possible for a team to be blessed with too many riches – and it can end with disappointing results.
“I know it’s important not to attach too much importance to pre-season fixtures, but Liverpool look like a well-balanced side full of confident players. If they were to sign Isak, one immediate benefit would be that it would significantly weaken Newcastle. But that’s not the difference between winning the Premier League or not – it wouldn’t make them any stronger favourites than they already are.”

It remains to be seen if James and Carragher's concerns are addressed or if Liverpool will merely steam ahead and secure Isak's signature. The latter is more likely.

O Palmeiras empatou com o São Bento em 0 a 0, no último sábado, no Allianz Parque, no primeiro jogo sem Danilo, negociado com o Nottingham Forest-ING. Se o resultado deu a impressão de que uma reposição é muito necessária, Abel Ferreira corroborou com essa tese em sua entrevista coletiva. E o Verdão vai, de fato, atrás de um substituto, mas também quer outro reforço.

A frase “qualidade custa dinheiro”, proferida pelo treinador português ao falar da saída de um dos seus principais jogadores, é um recado claro de que a comissão técnica quer sim uma reposição à altura do volante. E pelo que disse Abel, o desejo é um por nome que possa chegar e jogar.

O atleta que desponta no noticiário é o de Matheus Henrique, atualmente no Sassuolo-ITA. Segundo apuração do LANCE!, é um nome bem avaliado pela comissão técnica e pela direção alviverde. No entanto, em sondagens iniciais, o valor pedido foi considerado acima do esperado e, no momento, é estudado uma forma de abordagem dentro daquilo que o clube consegue investir no momento.
A reportagem também soube que outros nomes são estudados pela direção, mas eles são mantidos em sigilo para não atrapalhar o andamento das conversas. Jean Lucas foi outro atleta que interessou, mas apenas se entrasse na negociação de Danilo com o Monaco-FRA, o que não rolou.
>ATUAÇÕES: Dudu tentou, mas não conseguiu salvar um previsível Palmeiras
No entanto, o interesse da comissão técnica também atinge uma posição no ataque. O desejo é por um meia canhoto, que atue pelo lado esquerdo, onde foi detectada uma carência depois da saída de Wesley. Rafael Navarro, centroavante, foi testado por ali durante a pré-temporada, mas apenas por uma variação tática. Breno Lopes, por enquanto, é o jogador que está na frente para essa situação.
Até o momento, nenhum nome foi vazado. Nos bastidores, o clube alega que ainda não abordou nenhum dos atletas avaliados. Não há pressa para fechar com esse jogador e o desejo é por não fazer “loucuras”, assim como no caso do substituto de Danilo. A certeza é de que pelo menos esses dois reforços devem chegar em breve na Academia de Futebol neste início de temporada.

Matthew Mott believes it is time his England team “get the mojo back” ahead of the T20 World Cup – and has hired Manchester City’s psychologist to help his players be more emotionally vulnerable if they come under pressure in the Caribbean.David Young, who was previously with England from 2016 to 2020, has worked with City during an unprecedented period of success, with the club recently becoming the first team to win four Premier League titles in a row. He has been brought back as a consultant on a short-term basis ahead of next month’s World Cup, with City’s approval.Jos Buttler was influential in the decision and has previously credited Young for helping him perform in the 2019 World Cup final. Young joined the England squad in Leeds ahead of their washed-out first T20I against Pakistan on Wednesday and will link up with them again in Cardiff on Monday, after helping City prepare for Saturday’s FA Cup final against Manchester United.”He’s previously been with the team and he’s already been a great ally in messages back to me, making sure my messages are clear,” Mott, England’s white-ball coach, said. “It’s always good to have someone who’s a little bit removed from the squad to make sure you’re landing your messages… He’s still doing other roles but we’ve got him for this series, and the start of the World Cup as well.”Related

Jos Buttler backs England to learn lessons from 50-over World Cup debacle
England’s management are trying to learn from the mistakes they made at last year’s 50-over World Cup, when they were knocked out at the group stage and won three of their nine games – two of which came after their elimination. Mott described the tournament as “death by a thousand cuts” and said: “When you’ve had the kick in the pants like we’ve had, you can’t just go ‘business as usual’. You have to redefine how you go as a team.”As a group, we’ve made a commitment to be a bit more open in and around our training sessions, to help each other out a bit more. In India, all of us were guilty of being a bit insular, and trying to problem-solve ourselves. We’ve made a commitment to open up and be a bit more vulnerable as a group so that we’re helping each other.”Mott has been watching the IPL from afar and said that England could learn from Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s winning streak to qualify for the play-offs. “The way they had nothing to lose and came out and played a different brand of cricket – could we have done that earlier? Maybe, yes. On reflection, we didn’t react as we should have after the start.”Eoin Morgan, Buttler’s predecessor as captain, was sharply critical of England’s performance in India and hinted there was “something else going on” in their dressing-room beyond collective underperformance. Mott – whose first series as coach was Morgan’s last as captain – said the pair have not spoken since, but that he respects Morgan and his opinion.”Family and friends got more upset about it than I did,” he said. “Initially, of course you take it a bit personally but he’s there to have an opinion… All I’ll say is that only the people within the dressing-room can fully understand what’s going on. Once you leave the dressing-room, you might hear titbits of stuff, but you don’t really know how the team’s operating.””It’s time to get the mojo back and go out and really express ourselves”•Getty Images
Buttler suggested this week that he needs to give certain players more “clarity” than he did in India, and Mott said the squad would drive that change: “My style of coaching has always been more of a cooperative approach – keep asking questions on what does their game look like at its best, and if they’re veering away from that, to drag them back on track.”We feel like it’s time to get the mojo back and go out and really express ourselves as a team. I think T20, as opposed to ODI, is so much clearer in the way the players can approach it. We’ve seen in the IPL, you have to go out and really take the game on from the start. Most teams are going to go that way, so it’s going to be an exciting World Cup.”England will confirm their World Cup squad to the ICC before Saturday’s second T20I at Edgbaston and will name the same 15 players that formed the provisional squad, despite both Liam Livingstone and Mark Wood carrying niggles. “Probably not for the next game at this stage, but definitely later in the series, they’ll be up for selection,” Mott said.Jofra Archer’s return was delayed by the rain on Wednesday and he is likely to play at least two of the remaining three T20Is. Mott said that England are “pretty confident” that they know their best XI for the Caribbean, and said he would be comfortable taking Tom Hartley to the World Cup even if he does not win his first T20I cap in this series: “He’s played a lot of high-quality cricket in the last 12 months.”
