"The Republic of Ireland is not a place where tennis flourishes. The reasons may be varied, but leaving the country's sports psyche aside, there are two possible explanations much easier to understand..."
Afghanistan will be looking to a spin quartet led by match-winner Rashid Khan to get results on the slow and turning wickets of India at the World Cup. Rashid is in huge demand for T20 teams around the world as he is the top-ranked bowler in that format and fifth in ODIs. But the Afghans have great spin depth beyond Rashid, with Mohammad Nabi, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Noor Ahmad also capable of turning their side to victory. The lack of a pace attack and inconsistent batting have let down Afghanistan in 50-over cricket, with the team winning just two of their nine games this year.
When Sri Lanka clinched a shock 1996 World Cup triumph, Dunith Wellalage and Matheesha Pathirana were not even born, but the rising stars head to India determined to repeat the victory.

"We are looking forward to bringing the World Cup back to Sri Lanka," Pathirana told AFP.

When Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad came onto the scene in the mid-2000s, Bangladesh were mostly embarrassing as a national side. But over the years they shed the pushover tag, especially in one-day internationals -- the format used in the World Cup starting in India next week.
GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy — A trio of Patrick Cantlay birdies has given America hope. The Europeans head into the final day of the Ryder Cup knowing they need four points from the singles to preserve their 30-year run of victories on home soil, but Saturday's afternoon session has given the U.S. something to build on with the tournament tantalizingly poised with Europe leading 10½-5½.
An emphatic performance in the Asia Cup followed by a dominant show with the willow against Australia placed the Indian team in good headspace going into the World Cup but problems remain when it comes to zeroing in on the ideal playing XI. India begin their campaign against Australia on October 8 in Chennai.
