History beckons Indian girlsBHUBANESWAR: "Yes, we'll try to get enough rest tonight (Monday) so that we can give our best tomorrow (Tuesday)," said India captain Astam Oraon when asked if she would be able to sleep on Monday as the U-17 women's team stood on the cusp of history. On Tuesday, the hosts will script a new chapter in Indian women's football when they take on the US in their first match of the twice-postponed FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup here at Kalinga Stadium.
Mitchell Marsh has ruled himself out of captaining Australia's limited-overs teams, removing another obstacle in the way of David Warner's leadership bid. Aaron Finch has stepped down from the one-day captaincy and could also vacate his T20 role after Australia's World Cup defence.
