Mohun Bagan Secure 3-1 Comeback Win vs Abahani Dhaka, Make AFC Cup South Zone Group Stage

Mohun Bagan scripted a stunning second-half comeback to secure a 3-1 victory over Abahani Limited Dhaka in the AFC Cup playoffs at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Tuesday. The visitors impressed with their counter-attacking prowess in the first-half, capitalising on their swift breaks to create dangerous opportunities. Mario Lemos' tactics bore fruit in the 17th minute when their key marksman Cornelius Stewart benefitted from a goalkeeping howler by Vishal Kaith, to seize the opportunity against the run of play.

Bangladesh Fast Bowler Ebadot Hossain Ruled Out Of Asia Cup

Bangladesh fast bowler Ebadot Hossain has been ruled out of the Bangladesh squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 with an injury and has been replaced with an uncapped pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Bangladesh had announced their 17-member squad for the Asia Cup 10 days ago, naming Shakib Al Hasan as the new captain. Ebdaot, who was a part of the initial squad, sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during Bangladesh's ODI series against Afghanistan last month. After the assessment, it was found out that the right-armer will need at least six weeks of rehabilitation and with the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup less than two months away, the BCB do not want to risk aggravating Ebadot's injury.

On Picking Tilak Varma For Asia Cup 2023, BCCI Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar Says This

The Indian cricket team selectors have put their trust on young batter Tilak Varma by selecting the southpaw for the upcoming Asia Cup, starting August 30. It is worth noting that a total of four players -- Tilak, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar and Rinku Singh -- made their India debut recently. Among them, only Tilak is the player who has got a place in the 17-member Indian team, including reserve Sanju Samson, for the continental event that will be jointly hosted by Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Ajit Agarkar has revealed the reason behind the selection panel's picking of Tilak.

"Team Is Hungry...": Pakistan Captain Babar Azam Declares Ahead Of Asia Cup

Exuding confidence, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam on Monday said the team's players are driven by a strong "hunger" for success as they set their sights on clinching the coveted Asia Cup and World Cup titles. Fresh from their 4-1 home series win over New Zealand, Pakistan are currently in pursuit of the top spot in ODI rankings. They may very well dethrone Australia as the world's No 1 side with a 3-0 whitewash over Afghanistan in their Asia Cup build-up series beginning in Sri Lanka on Tuesday.

Ajit Agarkar's "Preferred Openers" Take On Shikhar Dhawan's Potential India Comeback

Shikhar Dhawan has been one of the reliable openers of the Indian cricket team for long. However, the left-handed batter is out of favour for the past seven to eight months. Dhawan last played a game for India in December 2022. It was an ODI match against Bangladesh. Since then, the star opener has seen his stakes falling in Indian cricket. He is the captain of the Punjab Kings team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has performed decently in the tournament too, but a national team call-up seems to be constantly getting out of reach.

India Football Coach Igor Stimac Not Ready To Predict Asian Games Outcome

Indian football head coach Igor Stimac is not sure where the country would finish in the Hangzhou Asian Games next month given the U-23 format of the quadrennial showpiece and with very little known about the opposing teams. Asked what finish at the Asian Games would satisfy him, Stimac said on Monday that while India does have a strong team, the fact that it is the only side having "not played a single game with the under-23s in the last two years" made predicting the outcome difficult.

Mohun Bagan Wary Of In-Form Abahani Limited Dhaka In Crucial AFC Cup Clash

Facing challenges of a demanding preseason and a revamped team composition, a rusty Mohun Bagan Super Giant will be wary of in-form Abahani Limited Dhaka when they clash in Kolkata on Tuesday for a spot in the AFC Cup South Zone group berth. The Mariners are in the midst of a hectic preseason where they are also competing in the Durand Cup and in the Calcutta Football League Premier Division. Bagan has assembled a big budget team for the season, and it's no secret that the AFC Cup takes precedence for the Sanjiv Goenka-owned side.
