India's highest court disbanded the All India Football Federation (AIFF) executive committee last month after it failed to hold elections on time and amend its regulations in line with rules stipulated by the national sports code. The court then appointed a three-member committee to run the body, amend the AIFF's constitution and conduct elections that have been pending for 18 months.
Virat Kohli was finding his lost touch ahead of the crucial fifth and decisive Test to conclude the unfinished tour of England from last year, the former India skipper failed to get going in the warm-up game against Leicestershire and was dismissed for 33 by Roman Walker. However, Kohli took a while before walking back, as he inquired about the decision after the umpire raised his finger. It was the first day of the practice game for the visitors and Kohli looked good while adding 50-plus runs for the sixth wicket with KS Bharat. But in the 41st over of the day, he missed the line while trying to drive a full-length delivery from Walker and the ball kissed Kohli's pads before going into the wicketkeeper's gloves. The umpire upheld the bowler's appeal, after which Kohli seemingly asked the umpire whether he was given out LBW or caught behind.

Nigeria, Morocco and Tanzania will fly Africa’s flag, to contend for the trophy against hosts India, China, Japan, New Zealand, U.S., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Spain and France.

Nigeria will be in Pot 3, alongside France, U.S and China (meaning they will not be in the same group with any of those three). Hosts India, occupies top spot in Pot 1 alongside Japan, Spain and Germany, with Mexico, Canada, Brazil and New Zealand in Pot 2.
