The Australian Open will no longer have the men's and women's tournaments take place simultaneously, Golf Australia said on Saturday after the dual gender format drew criticism from top players.
Australia's batting prodigy Sam Konstas has set a long-term goal of becoming an all-format player after being overlooked for two Tests against Sri Lanka in the sub-continent. Konstas, 19, is still new to the challenges, success and hardships that a player goes through in international cricket. The young opener earned his maiden baggy green in front of a sold-out crowd at the MCG in the Boxing Day Test against India. With a swashbuckling 60(65) in the first innings, Konstas made a strong case for himself to become the next big thing in the future.
England batter Joe Root's return to ODIs was a disappointing one as he continued his poor run against spinner Ravindra Jadeja during the first ODI at Nagpur on Thursday. During his 31-ball stay at the crease after England lost wicket of Phil Salt, Root's scoring opportunities were restricted well by India. Root could score just one boundary against Kuldeep Yadav. He was trapped leg-before wicket by Jadeja, breaking a 44-run stand between skipper Jos Buttler and Root. Against Jadeja in 10 innings in ODIs, Root has scored 133 runs in 115 balls and has been dismissed four times.
Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar on Wednesday reckoned the change in format and their past exploits in ODIs could bring glad tidings for the struggling duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the series against England and the Champions Trophy. Both Kohli and Rohit have struggled in recent times, including in the Test series against New Zealand at home and in the marquee Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, raising questions about their future in international cricket. While star batter Kohli was dismissed eights times to deliveries outside the off stump in Australia, the Indian captain managed just 31 runs in five innings and decided to drop himself for the final Test in Sydney.

The draw for the knockout playoff round of the new-look UEFA Champions League is upon us.
The creme de la creme. The head on the pint. The cheese on the curry chips.
LONDON : The mathematics was still causing a few heads to be scratched after Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday, but Declan Rice gave the new Champions League format a thumbs up.
