Indian Junior Men's Hockey Team Suffers Heart-Breaking Loss To Germany

As neither team got past each other's defence, the quarter remained goalless. Five minutes into the second quarter, the Germans broke the deadlock with a field goal to take the lead.

Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli In Focus As India Look To End Title Drought

Skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will look to end India's global title drought as the star duo step out for what is likely to be their final World Cup appearance. Rohit, 37, and Kohli, 35, have long been the twin torchbearers for the hopes of their cricket-mad nation, which last saw a major title triumph in the 2013 Champions Trophy. India made the final of last year's ODI World Cup at home but lost to Australia in front of a crestfallen packed house at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.

Unpredictable Pakistan Aim For 'Third Time Lucky' At T20 World Cup

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is hoping it is third time lucky for his side at the T20 World Cup after finishing losing semi-finalists in 2021 and runners-up a year later. Pakistan's build-up to the tournament, which takes place in West Indies and the USA, has been chaotic, with Azam replacing Shaheen Shah Afridi as captain barely three months before it gets underway. They squeaked a 2-2 T20 series draw at home against a depleted New Zealand in April before heading to Ireland where they slumped to defeat in the opener before coming back to win that series 2-1.

No MotoGP In India In 2024, Race Shifted To 2025

The India round of the MotoGP championship will not not take place on the scheduled date in September and instead has been moved to March 2025, local promoters of the race told PTI on Tuesday. Reports claiming that the race promoters had not cleared all their dues with rights holders Dorna after the inaugural round last year had led to uncertainty over the second edition scheduled from September 20-22. However, after Tuesday's meeting involving all stakeholders -- Dorna, and, co-promoters Fairstreet Sports and Uttar Pradesh government -- it was decided to shift the round to a yet to be decided date in March.

Jacks goes into the third game of England's warm-up series against Pakistan having helped propel the hosts to a 23-run win at Edgbaston on Saturday. The Surrey all-rounder struck a quickfire 37 in what proved to be a decisive stand with captain Jos Buttler as England went 1-0 up in the rain-hit four-match series ahead of Tuesday's game at Cardiff's Sophia Gardens.

'Dream Come True' As Uganda Prepare For First Cricket World Cup

On a sunny morning at the main cricket oval in Kampala, members of the Ugandan national men's team are being put through their paces by their new head coach. The Cricket Cranes -- clad in their vivid red kit -- are training hard for their first ever T20 World Cup, a "dream come true" in a nation where cricket is overshadowed by football as the most popular sport.
