MUNICH: Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala has extended his contract with the club through June 2030. The Bavarian powerhouse said Friday that the 21-year-old Musiala, who joined the club as a youth from English side Chelsea in 2019, signed a new deal extending the one he had for another season. “People go to the stadium for players like Jamal Musiala. He’s a truly exceptional player,” Bayern president Herbert Hainer said.
ABU DHABI: Last summer at the Paris Olympics, Moroccan surfer Ramzi Boukhiam attacked one monster wave after another at Tahiti’s iconic Teahupo’o, going toe-to-toe with Brazilian Joao Chianca in one of the most memorable heats of the Games. The duo traded perfect 8-to-10-foot barrels throughout the heat, with Boukhiam scoring a stunning 9.70 on one of his waves. But the Moroccan’s total, which combines the highest-scoring two waves per surfer, ended up being just 0.3 points short of Chianca’s tally and he missed out on a spot in the quarter-finals and a chance to fight for an Olympic medal. “It was pretty much the conditions that I love, that I dream of. Perfect heats, at perfect Teahupo’o, big waves, barrels.
Pacer Ben Sears has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy due to a hamstring injury, a significant setback for New Zealand ahead of the ICC event which kicks off on February 19. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has named Jacob Duffy as Sears' replacement. “Sears felt some pain in his left hamstring at the team's first training in Karachi on Wednesday and a subsequent scan revealed a minor tear that would require at least two weeks' rehabilitation,” NZC said in a statement. “The rehabilitation timeframe means that Sears would likely be available for only the team's final Group A match against India in Dubai, and so the decision was made to rule him out.” Sears' absence has paved the way for Duffy, who is currently with the squad for the ODI Tri-Series against Pakistan and South Africa.
JEDDAH: Ahead of the third round of the Formula E’s season in Saudi Arabia this weekend, drivers from the teams competing in the first Jeddah E-Prix have revealed their ambitions for the doubleheader under lights.
Béibhinn Parsons is targeting a Six Nations appearance as she continues to recover from a broken leg.
Pakistan batter Babar Azam became the joint-fastest batter to score 6,000 ODI runs during the final of the ODI tri-series against New Zealand at the National Stadium on Friday. Babar, opening alongside Fakhar Zaman, began cautiously, struggling to find fluency early on after Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan opted to bat first. In the seventh over, he seized on an overpitched delivery from Jacob Duffy, driving it elegantly through covers to bring up 6,000 ODI runs in his 123rd innings-equalling former South African great Hashim Amla's record for the fastest to the mark.
A hamstring tear has forced out fast bowler Ben Sears from this month's Champions Trophy, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) said on Friday, while all-rounder Rachin Ravindra has eased back into training after being struck in the face by the ball in a fielding mishap.
Captain Mohammad Rizwan and his deputy Salman Ali Agha slammed centuries on Wednesday, helping Pakistan beat South Africa in the first game at the newly-renovated National Stadium in Karachi. The pair added a record-breaking 260-run stand, the highest for Pakistan in ODIs for the 4th wicket. Pakistan were reeling at 91/3 while chasing 355, before the captain and his deputy turn the tide in favour of the hosts, who achieved the target with an over to spare and entered the final of tri-nation series where they will play New Zealand.
