Why is Gareth Bale heading for Los Angeles?

bt.com

Wales forward Gareth Bale is set to join Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC next month when his contract with Real Madrid expires.

The five-time Champions League winner was in need of somewhere to play with his country going to their first World Cup in 64 years in November and had been linked with a move to hometown club Cardiff.

Here the PA news agency looks at why he has chosen Major League Soccer rather than the Sky Bet Championship. On face value, Los Angeles has a winter average of six hours of sunshine and a temperature of 20 degrees.

Perfect golfing weather. Cardiff’s average is eight degrees and three hours. Bale will join halfway through a season which ends in October, more than a month before the World Cup.

Apart from getting dropped from the contract list on Sunday, Zaman, the only Pakistan batter with a double hundred in ODIs, was also not included in the squad for the upcoming white-ball series in Australia. “Look, he is obviously upset and disappointed because the selectors and board have apparently applied different sets of rules while taking fitness tests and clearing players,” a source close to Zaman said.
