‘Super Eagles need total support to qualify for 2026 World Cup’ An official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has said that the Super Eagles Manager, Eric Sekou Chelle, will release the final list of players for the forthcoming U.S., Canada, and Mexico 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
Reports emanating from Harare claim that Zimbabwe’s Head Coach, Michael Nees, has allegedly identified Super Eagles’ Achilles heels, which he will deploy against the team in their 2026 World Cup qualifier in Uyo, later this month.
Former cricketer Yograj Singh was delighted with India captain Rohit Sharma's decision to continue with his cricketing journey and put his decision to retire for some other day. Speculations and reports pointed towards the Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand in Dubai, the platform for Rohit's last dance in the ODIs. He broke the spine of New Zealand's 251-run target defence with his swashbuckling 76 and laid the foundation for India, lifting the title in front of a sold-out crowd in Dubai. After India experienced euphoria and relished in its four-wicket win against the Kiwis, Rohit addressed the media and confirmed he is "not going to retire from this format."
There were two instances during Rohit Sharma's lengthy post-tournament press conference on Sunday when the issue of his retirement cropped up. The first time the subject was broached with him after a triumphant campaign in the Champions Trophy in Dubai, the Indian captain gave an open-ended answer, "No future plans, jaise chal raha hain, chalta rahega (the way it is going, it will continue that way)." When he next mentioned the dreaded 'R' word, it was more voluntary and was an afterthought to a completely different question.
England batsman Harry Brook pulled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the second successive year, a decision that could trigger a ban from future editions.
India are attempting to break a 37-year-old curse as they take on New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai on Sunday, March 9. Team India enter the game as favourites, having won seven ODIs in a row en route to the final. However, India do not enjoy a great record against New Zealand when it comes to tournament finals. In fact, the men in blue have not beaten the Kiwis in an international cricket final since 1988. India and New Zealand have faced off twice in the final of a major senior ICC event, and the Black Caps have won on both occasions. Overall, New Zealand lead India 3-1 when it comes to finals in international cricket.
LONDON : Jos Buttler is determined to recover his form with the bat and help England win more World Cups after stepping down as limited-overs captain, director of men's cricket Rob Key said on Thursday.
Yet another knockout stage heartbreak at yet another ICC event. But perennial bridesmaid South Africa remains on the right track two years before the ODI World Cup at home, feels the team's head coach Rob Walter after its semifinal exit from the Champions Trophy in Lahore. Having topped their group, South Africa came up short in the second semifinal against New Zealand in Lahore on Wednesday night and went down by 50 runs in a chase of 362. Walter said there are enough positives to take back home notwithstanding a tough loss.
