Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has thrown down the gauntlet to Europe’s next generation ahead of next year’s showdown in Rome. Qualification for the event with the United States began with last week’s BMW Championship at Wentworth with eventual winner Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm setting the early pace.
After their group stage exit from the Asia Cup, the Bangladesh cricket team management did a shake-up while naming their squad for the T20 World Cup. It axed former captain Mahmudullah Riyad and recalled batsman Najmul Hossain for next month's marquee tournament in Australia. The Asia Cup campaign highlighted the team's 20-over woes, with Bangladesh turfed out in the group stage after losing to Afghanistan and eventual winners Sri Lanka.
Rishabh Pant has been chosen as one of the two wicketkeepers in India's 15-member squad for the 2022 T20 World Cup, along with Dinesh Karthik. However, the young left-hand batter's T20 form has not been great of late. In the recently concluded Asia Cup, his scores read 14, 17 and 20*. He has a career strike-rate of 126.21 and average of 23.94 in 58 T20Is. His below-par recent T20 form has led many experts to back Dinesh Karthik in the XI. Former Pakistan cricket team captain Salman Butt had an interesting take on Pant's regular failures in T20Is.
Narendra Modi paid tributes on Wednesday to former Davis Cup captain of India Naresh Kumar and said he played a major role in popularising tennis in the country. "Shri Naresh Kumar will be remembered for his pioneering contribution to Indian sports. He played a major role in popularising tennis. In addition to being a great player he was also an exceptional mentor. Pained by his demise. Condolences to his family and friends. Om Shanti," Modi said in a tweet.
Naresh Kumar, who famously mentored a young Leander Paes as India's Davis Cup captain, has passed away. He was 93. He is survived by his wife Sunita, son Arjun, and two daughters -- Gita and Preah. "He was suffering from age-related issues since last week. I was told that his chance of survival was not very good. I've lost a great mentor," Jaidip Mukerjea, who made his Davis Cup debut under the Kumar's captaincy, told PTI.
Tababi, one of the six former India players -- four male and two female -- to be co-opted in the Executive Committee of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), said the grassroots development model of her state Manipur can be implemented in other states. “I am from Manipur, and one thing I have seen so far is that so many quality players come through in women's football from our state. There is only one reason for that.
