The players were assessed by coaches from five international clubs. The Croatian giants were the first to offer them extended trial where they were put through the paces and tested alongside the best talent from the country.
Commonwealth Games (CWG) in Birmingham following a complaint of “inappropriate behaviour” by a female volunteer. A T2 privilege offers an accredited team official access to all competition and non-competition venues, as well as recognised city centres in the host city. In a letter dated August 5, which was made public on Thursday, Ashwin Lokare, Birmingham 2022 Head of Games Family Services, flagged the issue of Panday’s alleged misdemeanour to IOA’s acting president Anil Khanna while appreciating the efforts made by him to address the organising committee’s (OC) concerns.
On one hand is the IOA’s senior vice-president Anil Khanna, who claims to have been appointed as the Olympic body’s head by the Delhi High Court, and on the other is the Athletics Federation of India’s (AFI) boss and one of the nine vice-presidents of the IOA, Adille J Sumariwalla, who asserts to have been enjoying the support of 18 out of 31 executive council (EC) members of the NOC, who have pledged their support to his presidentship. In the midst of this drama, which has become part and parcel of the IOA’s factional infighting since the removal of its former chief Narinder Dhruv Batra on May 25, the Khanna camp has once again knocked on the doors of the high court with a plea to initiate contempt proceedings against Sumariwalla for defying an earlier court order, which had installed Khanna as IOA’s president till the time an IOA executive committee — with a new set of elected office-bearers — takes charge.
cricket dream alive. Mukesh, a late bloomer who took up competitive cricket less than a decade ago, made the debut count on the rain-truncated opening day of the first four-day game against New Zealand ‘A’ at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here, picking up 3/34. Only 61 overs were bowled on the day as it began raining eight overs into the final session.
Victoria Azarenka defeated her 6-2 6-3 in the second round. The pair exchanged a quick tap of the racket on Court 17 after Kostyuk whacked the ball into the net on the third match point and the three-time Flushing Meadows finalist let out a triumphant roar. "Well, I wasn't surprised.
Afghanistan produced a stunning show in the Asia Cup 2022, winning both the clashes - vs Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - they've played so far "Definitely you are happy when you finish on top. We have worked hard for it and the kind of experience we have had playing the Asia Cup in the past.
Bhaichung Bhutia manages to, is it really player power breathing new life into a moribund football administration? Or that the puppet master can only be spoken of in hushed tones? Chaubey, a goalkeeper from the 1990s Tata Football Academy stable, always spoke of “relevance” outside of the football field. Despite an impressive array of ‘clubs played’, Chaubey, privately , would display that restlessness which standing between the posts evidently couldn’t quell. “As a player in India, you soon need to start thinking beyond football,” he’d say, as Indian sport entered the televised 2000s. As he found himself eventually relegated to the bench from first goalkeeper as his 15-year-old professional career progressed, Chaubey looked beyond. Clearly, the idea of coaching was not what would satiate him. He even considered modelling and acting in Bangla soaps at one time. He had the presence of mind to protect his face when roughed up by a rogue club-owner in Goa when the player rightfully dared to ask for dues owed to him, because “even if your career went nowhere, at least the face remained intact. it would serve me later.” Vernacular TV commentary would show life on the sideline as slicker, less sweaty, mic in hand, bespoke suit replacing the keeper’s jersey. In 2014, he would find his true calling when the BJP would come head-hunting in their mission for Bengal. Today (Thursday), on the eve the AIFF elections, as favourite, Chaubey’s search for relevance is coming full circle. But how much of this aspiration is being fulfilled by forces beyond his domain?
Asia Cup, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan said spinner bowling no-balls is a crime and added that they have to improve their death over bowling. A late blitz from Asitha Fernando and Dasun Shanaka helped Sri Lanka secure a place in the Super Four phase after they defeated Bangladesh by two wickets in a Group B tie on Thursday. "In the back-end of the innings, we did not bowl well, but we batted really well.
