Chithambaram, Hovhannisyan and Sadhwani finished on eight points from 10 rounds along with seven others. Chithambaram, a former national champion, took the top prize on the basis of a superior tie-break score.
South Africa this week pulled out of a three-match bilateral one-day series in Australia in January as it clashes with their new domestic Twenty20 competition. The next cycle of the Future Tours Programme (FTP), which lays down which national sides play where and when, is set to be confirmed later this month at the annual conference of the ICC, the global governing body, in Birmingham. Franchise cricket is likely to dominate the busy international calendar, which also includes ICC events like the World Cups in all formats. "The growth of franchise cricket is impacting the already-crammed international cricket calendar," PCB chief executive Faisal Hasnain said in a statement.
Barcelona are set to sign Poland striker Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich after the clubs reached an agreement in principle for his transfer, a person with knowledge of the negotiations tells The Associated Press. The person, who spoke under anonymity because he was not allowed to speak publicly about the deal, said that the official confirmation of the deal could come on Saturday. Spanish media reports that the transfer would cost Barcelona some 50 million euros ($50.4 million).
Virat Kohli hasn't scored a century in international cricket and has been in a prolonged lean patch across all formats. With every low score coming off his bat, the debate on Kohli's poor form climbs up with the Men's T20 World Cup in Australia just three months away. Now, legendary all-rounder and 1983 World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev feels that Kohli has still got a lot of cricket left in him and pointed out that the talismanic batter has to himself create a way for getting back amongst the runs.
Football Federation, which has been framed by the Committee of Administrators (CoA), has been submitted to the Supreme Court for its approval. It was submitted to the apex court on Friday, the AIFF said in a statement on Saturday.
Commonwealth Games in Birmingham due to the groin injury he sustained ahead of the ongoing World Athletics Championships in Eugene, USA. Asian record holder Toor did not turn up for his event this morning in Eugene due to the groin injury he sustained four days ago at Chula Vista in USA where the Indian team for the World Championships had a brief training stint ahead of the showpiece. He tried a couple of practice throws before the event but decided to skip it as the pain did not subside due to strain on his adductor muscles which join thigh to the hip.
The team under Rohit Sharma did put up an ultra-aggressive batting show with a great degree of success during the recently concluded T20 International series but the manner in which it went about chasing a below-par target of 247 in the second ODI has left a lot to be desired. Rohit would put his hand up and admit that he and other veteran Shikhar Dhawan, were a bit on the defensive in the wake of some fine swing and seam bowling from Reece Topley and David Willey. That Virat Kohli's endless saga of failures has only compounded the problems is also a big factor but senior openers playing out two maiden overs at the start, didn't indicate a positive mindset either. Therefore, a change in approach is required and for that a paradigm shift in the mindset while going for the tricky run-chases unlike the first game at the Oval where the game was singlehandedly won by Jasprit Bumrah's six-wicket haul.
Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli on a four-year contract, the Premier League club said on Saturday. British media reported that Chelsea paid a fee in the region of 32 million pounds ($37.93 million) for the 31-year-old, who becomes the London side's second summer signing after Raheem Sterling. "I'm very happy to be here with this team at Chelsea," Koulibaly said in a statement. "It's a big team in the world and my dream was always to play in the Premier League. "Chelsea came first to get me in 2016 but we didn't make it. Now when they came to me I accepted it because they really wanted me to come to the Premier League to play for them." Chelsea lost centre backs Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen earlier in the close season, and Koulibaly's addition will come as a boost for Thomas Tuchel's side as they look to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool.
