Good performances in West Indies and Bangladesh could yet make the selectors change their plans

Andrew McGlashan16-Jun-2021There is no guarantee from Australia’s selectors that all the players who made themselves unavailable for tours of West Indies and Bangladesh will immediately return to the fold for the T20 World Cup if others take the chance to impress in their place.David Warner, Pat Cummins, Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis withdrew from contention for the upcoming tours for a variety of personal reasons while Daniel Sams, who contracted Covid-19 in India before the IPL, had previously opted out to manage his mental health.Trevor Hohns, the national selector, reiterated that individual player circumstances were understood and respected at a time where international cricket requires bubbles and quarantine but admitted it was “frustrating” not to be able to have a full squad together with the World Cup four months away.”We are obviously disappointed that they made themselves unavailable, but we totally understand and respect their decision,” Hohns said. “In saying that we also see it as a good opportunity for others who have been included to push their case for inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad. I also see it as a good test of our depth.”If a player wishes to make himself unavailable that’s his prerogative to do so, we can’t force them to go on a tour but what we can say is that they are giving someone else an opportunity.”Related

Warner, Cummins and Maxwell among six to opt out of West Indies and Bangladesh tours

Australia’s final lead-in to the T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to start in mid-October and may yet be moved to the UAE, remains uncertain but there had been plans for a tri-series which would likely clash with the resumption of the IPL. Detailed conversations have yet to take place, but Hohns laid out his expectation of the players’ priorities.”It will certainly depend on their commitments and what we think they should be committing to regarding Australia at that time,” he said.The mass absence has meant recalls for Ben McDermott, Ashton Turner and Dan Christian plus a maiden call-up for Wes Agar. There is also another opportunity for others who were part of the T20 squad in New Zealand such as Josh Philippe and Riley Meredith.Dan Christian is one of the players with a chance to make a late push for the World Cup•Getty Images

Australia’s T20 selection has been disrupted since the start of the last home season due to a combination of biosecure bubble requirements, injuries, resting players, the initial plan for twin tours of South Africa and New Zealand and now the latest withdrawals.However, Hohns said the selectors had most of a likely World Cup squad inked in a few months ago but, while some of those missing will walk straight back in, strong performances in the coming weeks may sway other positions. There is also a likelihood that squads will need to be larger than the traditional 15.”That’ll be an interesting discussion for us going forward, there’s no doubt about that, depending on performances in West Indies particularly by the extra inclusions for this tour,” he said. “So if someone was to really shoot the lights out with bat or ball we’d have to stand up and take notice.”One player not considered for the tour despite the number of missing names was Marnus Labuschagne with the decision taken to allow him to continue his Glamorgan contract. A key part of that was the chance to play a significant amount of T20 cricket rather than being sat on the sidelines on the tour where he may only have featured in the ODIs. He has enjoyed an eye-catching start to the T20 Blast with three consecutive half-centuries, one of which was an unbeaten 93, and handy wickets.”Marnus went over some time ago to play county cricket and he also has the opportunity to play a lot of T20 cricket which is something he expressed to us that he would really like to do,” Hohns said. “He was totally involved in this decision, he thought it was in his best interest to continue to play cricket in England. We are certainly watching his performances in the T20 competition so that’s not gone unnoticed.”

Setting their sights on solving a future problem, Manchester United are now reportedly keeping tabs on one star who could succeed Bruno Fernandes in the years to come.

Man Utd transfer news

Whilst the Red Devils can consider their summer transfer window a success story, it’s yet to really come together on the pitch for Erik ten Hag’s side. Whilst they brushed Barnsley aside 7-0 in the Carabao Cup in a game that saw their attacking options finally begin to show signs of goalscoring form, a routine but unconvincing win at Southampton which followed a humiliation at the hands of rivals Liverpool shows that there’s still work to be done.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be well aware of the need for patience, however, after only beginning to implement his vision for the club in the summer, ridding of any previous transfer strategy in the process which usually saw stars past their peak arrive for big money and on high wages.

Now, with the focus very much shifted towards players on course to become Europe’s top stars rather than those who have already had their time in the spotlight, the Red Devils have reportedly set their sights on an eventual Fernandes replacement.

According to Fussball News, Manchester United are keeping tabs on Oscar Gloukh, who has enjoyed an excellent start to the campaign with Red Bull Salzburg, even scoring a hat-trick in their 5-1 mauling of Blau-Weiss Linz in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Still just 20 years old, United reportedly see Gloukh as an option to eventually replace current captain Fernandes, who is 30 years old and, therefore, not someone who has a long-term future among Europe’s elite. And whilst the Portugal international’s post-football career is some way away yet, United would be wise to consider future options for a player of his calibre.

"Impressive" Gloukh should be heir to Fernandes' Man Utd role

Such is Fernandes’ talent, not many players around European football would be capable of taking his role at Manchester United, but Gloukh is certainly one of a select few. The Red Bull Salzburg star has got off to a fine start in the current campaign following a season to remember last time out in which he recorded numbers that match Fernandes’ at Old Trafford.

Both enjoying an involvement in 18 league goals last season, Gloukh looks like the perfect heir to Fernandes’ Manchester United throne as a player who still has plenty of room for improvement at just 20 years old.

Earning significant praise thanks to his excellent rise to stardom at Salzburg, Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig described Gloukh as “impressive” and a “jewel in Salzburg’s collection” last April. Now, he is a jewel that Manchester United could add to their side in 2025 in what would be yet another impressive signing by INEOS and new sporting director Dan Ashworth.

Neste domingo, oBrasil de Pelotas decide, diante do Rio Grandense, no estádio Bento Freitas, a classificação para a final do Campeonato Gaúcho sub-20. Caso vença, o Xavante quebrará um tabu que já dura 32 anos e ainda disputará, novamente, a final estadual em busca do inédito título.

>Veja as obras da Arena MRV em imagens exclusivas do LANCE!

Também vale lembrar que a equipe comandada por Filipe Sudré praticamente não teve tempo para descansar, tendo em vista que derrotou o Caxias fora de casa na última sexta-feira, retornou para Pelotas na madrugada e fez o apronto no sábado.

– Seis meses atrás o Brasil de pelotas não tinha base. Com a chegada da GSA (empresa que gere a base do clube), iniciamos um excelente trabalho e hoje estamos numa semifinal de Gauchão. Vamos decidir a vaga pra final em casa com o apoio da nossa torcida maravilhosa, que vai lotar o Bento Freitas. Tivemos 3 jogos em sequência fora de casa, dois desses jogos foram pelas oitavas e pela as quartas. Agora vai ser em casa e a torcida xavante vai fazer a diferença. A expectativa é grande mas vamos seguir com a cabeça firme e os pés no chão – lembrou Filipe Sudré.

Com quatro vitórias, três derrotas e um empate desde que chegou a Pelotas, o técnico mudou o jeito do time jogar e, consequentemente, transformou a equipe que vinha tendo dificuldades na competição. Inclusive, um dos resultados positivos ocorreu justamente diante do Rio Grandense, na primeira fase do torneio. De olho na vaga na final, o treinador espera uma partida decida nos detalhes.

> Veja como ficou a tabela do Brasileirão

– Fizemos um jogo muito disputado e com muitos gols, na ocasião vencemos de 4×3 na casa do adversário. Agora será diferente, vamos respeita-lo, mas com certeza iremos impor o nosso estilo de jogo e vamos partir pra cima. No Bento Freitas a atmosfera é diferente e junto da nossa torcida vamos fazer um bom jogo, se Deus quiser, e sair com a vitória – encerrou Filipe Sudré.

Brasil de Pelotas e Rio Grandense entram em campo neste domingo, às 15h30. No mesmo horário, Internacional e Ypiranga duelam pela outra vaga, na morada dos Quero-queros.

Sri Lanka have lost all but one of their nine completed ODIs this year

Andrew Fidel Fernando19-Jul-20214:51

Aakash Chopra: Whoever has got an opportunity has impressed

Big pictureLess than 48 hours after India put the finishing touches on their thumping of Sri Lanka in the first ODI, the teams have to go again. If you’re a Sri Lanka fan, hold on tight. This might not be pretty.In many senses, we didn’t really learn much from the first match. It was already known that Sri Lanka lack world-class batters. Although the likes of Avishka Fernando and Bhanuka Rajapaksa struck attractive boundaries, there was no one to hold the innings together. But for No. 8 Chamika Karunaratne’s unbeaten 43 off 35 balls, Sri Lanka may have stumbled to a truly sub-par total.There was also no surprise in Shikhar Dhawan – a modern ODI behemoth – ending up the game’s top scorer. And India’s staggering batting depth was suspected too; their top order expected to flex against a Sri Lanka attack that has some talent but is woefully light on experience and direction. Still, the breathtaking confidence and striking ability of Prithvi Shaw, Ishan Kishan, and later, Suryakumar Yadav would have quickened pulses around the world. On its own, this young top order is a reason to tune in.If Sri Lanka want to push India on Tuesday, there are a giant list of things they must correct. Their inability to rotate the strike against the spinners held them back during the middle overs, as batters played laboured block-or-bash innings; their fielding was poor, with two chances going down on the boundary; and while Dushmantha Chameera was good again with the new ball, they need to find a more reliable seam-bowling partner than Isuru Udana, who was taken apart in the powerplay and bowled only two overs.Form guide (completed matches, most recent first)
Sri Lanka LLLWL
India WWLWWIn the spotlightWhile wristspinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav went looking for wickets, Krunal Pandya kept things tight through the middle overs – his left-arm spin going for only 26 runs in 10 overs. In four ODI appearances, this was by far his best bowling performance – he had actually been bashed around by England in March. In that series, Krunal had showed off his hitting ability at ODI level. If he can add stability to India’s spin attack too, he makes a strong case for consistent selection.Dushmantha Chameera didn’t get any wickets on Sunday, and yet, made several India batters uncomfortable with his pace. While Kishan was walloping everyone else, Chameera was the one bowler who seriously tested him, peppering him with short balls. Chameera had been one of Sri Lanka’s few positives from the recent tour of England, and has finally built up some rhythm after years of his career being frustrated by injuries. With the quick turnarounds this series though, Sri Lanka run the risk of him picking up niggles. As he is one of the few performing players in this side, they can’t really afford to leave him out either.Dushmantha Chameera was the only bowler who tested Ishan Kishan in the tour opener•SLC

Pitch and conditionsExpect another surface that offers plenty of turn, but remains pretty good for batting. Although showers can occasionally roll through at this time of year, the weather is expected to be good on Tuesday.Team newsWith Bhuvneshwar Kumar having been slightly off – particularly at the death – on Sunday, India may bring in Navdeep Saini.India (possible): 1 Prithvi Shaw, 2 Shikhar Dhawan (capt.), 3 Ishan Kishan (wk), 4 Manish Pandey, 5 Suryakumar Yadav, 6 Hardik Pandya, 7 Krunal Pandya, 8 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 Kuldeep Yadav, 11 Yuzvendra ChahalSri Lanka will probably rethink Udana’s presence in the team. Lahiru Kumara or Kasun Rajitha are likeliest to replace him.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Avishka Fernando, 2 Minod Bhanuka (wk), 3 Bhanuka Rajapaksa, 4 Dhananjaya de Silva, 5 Charith Asalanka, 6 Dasun Shanaka (capt.), 7 Wanindu Hasaranga, 8 Chamika Karunaratne, 9 Dushmantha Chameera, 10 Lakshan Sandakan, 11 Lahiru KumaraStats and triviaDhawan became the second-fastest India batter to 6000 ODI runs, getting there in 140 innings. Only Hashim Amla (123 inns), Virat Kohli (136) and Kane Williamson (139) have been faster to the milestone.Sri Lanka have lost all but one of their nine completed ODIs this year. Kishan had also hit a half century on T20 international debut. The only other batter to achieve this double is South Africa’s Rassie van der Dussen.

O Náutico está interessado na contratação do goleiro Mauricio Kozlinski, nome que defende a equipe do Atlético-GO desde 2019. A informação foi confirmada em entrevista pelo próprio presidente do clube de Goiânia, Adson Batista.

No que depender da questão do interesse em viabilizar o negócio, não devem haver maiores problemas já que, segundo o dirigente, existe a vontade de todos os envolvidos em fazer a transação ocorrer. Entretanto, isso não significa que não existam questões burocráticas a serem tratadas.

Apesar de inicialmente não existir a necessidade do Náutico pagar qualquer valor de transferência ao Atlético-GO pela liberação do arqueiro de 30 anos de idade (tanto o clube goiano como o jogador estão de acordo em encerrar o vínculo com término em dezembro de 2022), Kozlinski e o Atlético precisam se resolver sobre valores a serem pagos pelo período de estadia do jogador no Dragão.

Se no ano de sua chegada o atleta teve grande espaço e sustentou a titularidade na campanha onde o clube retornou a elite do futebol nacional, já na temporada 2020 Mauricio viu as oportunidades diminuirem drasticamente. Algo que, em 2021, ficou ainda mais latente com a disponibilidade de Fernando Miguel e Luan Polli no setor.

A possibilidade de Kozlinski ser contratado pelo Avlirrubro vai ao encontro de uma clara necessidade do clube pernambucano não apenas para angariar opções, mas sim para encontrar um “dono” da posição. Isso porque os dois últimos ocupantes do posto não serão alternativas para 2022 com o não prolongamento do vínculo de Alex Alves e o retorno de Anderson para o Athletico-PR, clube detentor de seus direitos.

Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar and the Gunners recruitment team have already been linked with a few interesting players heading into next year, but it is believed one star in particular is top of their agenda.

Arsenal laying groundwork for 2025 signings after fruitful summer

The north Londoners spent just above £100 million on five key additions before the summer deadline, with David Raya, Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino, Neto and Raheem Sterling all putting pen to paper on moves to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal spent £27 million on Raya after agreeing an obligation to buy the Spaniard following his 2023/2024 season-long loan, with Edu also agreeing a £42m deal to sign Calafiori from Bologna.

Merino joined Arsenal for £32 million, having decided to swap Real Sociedad for the Premier League, but Arsenal’s most headline-grabbing transfer deal came right at the eleventh hour on deadline day.

Alongside back-up keeper Neto, Arsenal agreed a season-loan for ex-Man City star Sterling from Chelsea, who Arteta knows very well from his time with the Sky Blues.

The Englishman made his debut for Arsenal on Sunday, coming on for 10 minutes during their 1-0 North London Derby win away to Tottenham, and there is hope he can resurrect his career in north London following a lacklustre two seasons at Chelsea compared to previous years at City.

While plenty of business was done over the summer, with Arsenal also agreeing a host of outgoings, Edu is on record stating that transfer planning is always ongoing behind the scenes.

“You can’t sign for the sake of signing. It has to be a process that takes weeks and weeks,” said Edu on Arsenal’s recruitment policy in an interview with Estadao earlier this year.

“On my desk, I have reports of over 180 pages on one player. It’s really detailed stuff. Physical, technical, mental profile, whether he has Premier League experience, whether he’ll be able to adapt. Everything. We analyse our deficiencies, where we can improve, where we can invest and then we go in search of that new name. We’ve been discussing what I’m going to do now since January. It’s not my decision or Mikel’s. It’s a group decision.”

According to recent reports, Arsenal are targeting Jonathan David as his Lille contract expires in 2025, making him a potential free agent option. As well as this, Edu is believed to be eyeing Alphonso Davies from Bayern Munich, with the Canadian star also out of contract next summer.

Another Bayern Munich star in winger Leroy Sane is attracting rumoured Arsenal interest too, so it appears Edu’s planning could be firmly underway for 2025.

Edu prioritising Arsenal deal for RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko

According to CaughtOffside, while David is a player who the Gunners admire, RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is top of their agenda once again.

Arsenal failed with a proposal to sign Sesko in the summer, who rejected their advances in favour of a contract extension at Leipzig. However, it is believed that the Slovenia international has a “gentleman’s agreement” to leave the Bundesliga side in 2025 or 2026 (Fabrizio Romano), meaning a future move to Arsenal remains on the cards.

CaughtOffside claim Edu is prioritising an Arsenal deal for Sesko next year, so this could be one to watch. The 21-year-old scored 18 goals in all competitions last season and has got off to a good start this campaign with a goal and two assists from his first four games.

There are suggestions that Sesko’s new contract includes a £63m release clause, but it is unclear whether Arsenal would be open to paying that figure.

Bairstow, Buttler, Curran, Stokes also return, but Woakes, Archer are not fit for selection

Andrew Miller21-Jul-2021

Ollie Robinson has been recalled to England’s Test squad in the wake of his suspension during the New Zealand series, as Chris Silverwood, the head coach, named a 17-player squad for the opening two Tests against India, starting at Trent Bridge on August 4.Also included in the squad are Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler and Sam Curran, all of whom were rested for the New Zealand series in the wake of their involvement in this year’s postponed IPL, along with Ben Stokes, who captained England’s 50-over side against Pakistan earlier this month after a Covid outbreak caused the original squad to self-isolate, but who admitted last week that the finger that he broke back in April is still not fully healed.Notable absentees include Jofra Archer, who made his playing return for Sussex in the Vitality Blast this week, but who is continuing to recuperate from elbow surgery, and Chris Woakes – England men’s reigning player of the year – who has sustained a bruised heel. Woakes’ absence for the first two Tests means that it will have been more than a year since his most recent Test appearance, against Pakistan at the Ageas Bowl in August 2020. Olly Stone and Ben Foakes also remain sidelined through injury.Elsewhere in England’s ranks, Haseeb Hameed is once again included as a batting option, and may vie with Dom Sibley, Rory Burns and Zak Crawley for a top-three berth, while Ollie Pope is also named despite sustaining a thigh injury while batting for Surrey in the Blast earlier this month. Dan Lawrence, whose unbeaten 81 at Edgbaston was one of the few high spots in a disappointing display from England’s batters, is also retained. There is no place in the squad for James Bracey, who endured a gruelling debut series against New Zealand last month, nor for Dawid Malan, who has been mooted as an option at No. 3 ahead of a winter Ashes tour.On the bowling front, James Anderson and Stuart Broad are both included alongside Mark Wood, who is now expected to be ruled out of the entirety of London Spirit’s Hundred campaign. Dom Bess and Jack Leach are both selected as spin options, with Bess having bounced back from his tough tour of India with career-best first-class figures of 7 for 43 for Yorkshire against Northants earlier this month. Craig Overton, who was named in the squad for the New Zealand series, misses out on selection, as does Saqib Mahmood despite his impressive limited-overs performances.Related

The rest of the Test players featuring in the Hundred will be available to their teams for two matches each, including Bairstow, whose return to the Test fray will require his Welsh Fire head coach, Gary Kirsten, to identify a new captain at short notice. The squad will then report to Trent Bridge on Sunday, July 31, four days in advance of the first Test*.”A home Test series against India is one of the most anticipated red-ball series and this promises to be an outstanding five Tests,” Silverwood said. “India are a quality team who have shown their ability to get results away from home. We are expecting a highly competitive series and have selected our strongest possible squad.”The returns of allrounders Ben Stokes and Sam Curran provide balance that allows us to get back to a structure that has been successful in Test cricket.”Ben’s leadership in the Royal London Series, when he played despite his finger not yet being 100 percent, typified his character and commitment that drives the players around him forward. With Jos and Jonny back in the squad we have added further experience and quality that will be needed against the world’s second-ranked team.”Robinson, who claimed seven wickets and scored a valuable 42 on his Test debut against New Zealand at Lord’s in June, was withdrawn from the squad ahead of the second Test of that series at Edgbaston, following the emergence of historic tweets of a discriminatory nature. He was handed an eight-match suspension – with five of those suspended for two years – and fined £3200, and the ECB now consider the matter closed.”We have selected Ollie Robinson after his seven-wicket Test debut against New Zealand,” Silverwood confirmed. “Ollie proved in that Test that he has the ability to replicate his outstanding form in the County Championship at international level and we will continue to work with him to develop his England career.”England Men’s Test Squad: Joe Root (capt), James Anderson, Jonny Bairstow, Dom Bess, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Sam Curran, Haseeb Hameed, Dan Lawrence, Jack Leach, Ollie Pope, Ollie Robinson, Dom Sibley, Ben Stokes, Mark Wood*This information was updated following an amendment from the ECB.
