Palestine team withdraws from Malaysia tournament
WEST BANK: The Palestine soccer team has withdrawn from a tournament in Malaysia after a fresh crisis broke out between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas over the weekend, disrupting the team’s travel arrangements, the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) said on Tuesday. “The withdrawal came due to players being unable to travel because of the events and circumstances that the Palestinian territories are going through,” Firas Abu Hilal, secretary-general of the Palestinian Football Association, told Reuters. The Palestine national football team had been scheduled to compete in the Merdeka Cup — an international friendly tournament in Malaysia — from Oct. 13-17 along with India, Tajikistan and host country, Malaysia. Hilal said the players’ plans had been disrupted by the repeated closure of a crossing connecting Jordan to the Palestinian territories, through which they would have traveled to Malaysia. The Palestine team are due to play 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Lebanon and Australia in November.

"No One Told Me How To Do It": Kuldeep Yadav's Sharp Counter On Bowling Criticism
A few years ago, when Kuldeep Yadav got clobbered in white ball cricket, everyone told him what his problem was: slower through the air and the lack of pace off the surface to trouble batters. But no one told the 29-year-old left-arm wrist spinner what was the solution to that problem even as he sustained a serious knee injury during the COVID-19-hit IPL in the UAE in 2020.
