Three-member panel that picked Ravi Shastri as head coach asked to respond by October 10

BCCI ethics officer, Justice (retd.) DK Jain, has served a notice to all three members on the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) led by Kapil Dev, asking them to explain the alleged conflict of interest charge pressed by Sanjeev Gupta, a life member of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association.Justice Jain has asked all three CAC members to respond to the charge by October 10, failing which he would be forced to draw his own conclusions on the matter.In his complaint to Justice Jain, Gupta has alleged that all three CAC members have multiple points of conflict. Kapil is part of the steering committee of the newly formed, BCCI-funded Indian Cricketers’ Association (ICA). He is also one of its directors. Kapil also works as an expert for Indian television channels. As for Anshuman Gaekwad, it is alleged that in addition to working as a pundit on TV, he is also part of the BCCI’s Member Affiliation Committee, which grants membership to state associations. Gaekwad, too, is part of the ICA’s steering group, as is the third member, Shanta Rangaswamy, who is also an ICA director.Gupta had sent his complaint to Justice Jain immediately after the Committee of Administrators (CoA) had appointed former Indian cricketers Kapil, Gaekwad and Rangaswamy to the CAC to shortlist and appoint a head coach for the Indian men’s team. The CAC has since re-appointed Ravi Shastri in that position till 2021 T20 World Cup.Gupta had pressed similar charges against the members of the previous CAC – Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman – for carrying out multiple roles in Indian cricket, when the rules dictate that one person can hold just one position. During the hearing of the case, Tendulkar submitted that he had decided not to be part of any BCCI committee, so Justice Jain let him off. But he did uphold the charges against Ganguly and Laxman.Even the appointment of the Kapil-led CAC had not been straightforward. It was assembled for the first time late last year to pick the Indian woman’s head coach, with former Tamil Nadu captain and India opener WV Raman eventually taking charge.However, Diana Edulji, former India woman’s team captain, who is part of the CoA, had expressed her dissatisfaction with the entire process and asked the BCCI ombudsman – also Justice Jain – to intervene. There has been no final verdict on that matter as yet.Once Gupta had filed conflict charges against Kapil, Gaekwad and Ramaswamy, Edulji told her fellow CoA members – Vinod Rai and Ravindra Thodge – that all three CAC members should first give a written undertaking before proceeding to pick the men’s head coach.
After a rocky start to life in England, Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a key performer in the Premier League for Manchester United this season.
The 21-year-old marksman has plundered an incredible seven goals and two assists in his last six appearances in the top-flight, after a return of zero goals in his first 14 outings in the division.
United snapped the Denmark international up from Serie A side Atalanta for a reported fee of £72m last summer. That came after the forward racked up nine goals and two assists in 32 league games for the Italian outfit during the 2022/23 campaign.

The Red Devils could now repeat the blinder they appear to have played with Hojlund by returning to the Serie A to sign another number nine this summer.
Latest Manchester United transfer news
According to Tuttosport, the Premier League giants sent scouts to the Italian top-flight last weekend to watch an impressive young striker in action. The report claims that United sent an 'emissary' to watch Bologna star Joshua Zirkzee play against Atalanta away from home, a game in which he scored from the penalty spot in a 2-1 win.
Tuttosport add that fellow English side Arsenal sent their own scouts to watch the Dutch attacker play earlier this season, as both clubs could face competition from each other in a possible summer swoop for his services.
Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee
It also states that Bologna value the 22-year-old dynamo at around €60m (£51m). However, it remains to be seen whether or not United or the Gunners are prepared to meet that valuation.
Bayern Munich, who are due 50% of any profit made by Bologna, also have an option to buy him back for €40m (£34m) but the report claims that Zirkzee does not seem to be interested in a return to the German giants.
Joshua Zirkzee's Serie A stats
Like Hojlund last season, the young striker has caught the eye with his impressive performances at the top end of the pitch in the Serie A this term. The former Bayern starlet has showcased his quality as both a scorer and a creator of goals from a centre-forward position, as evidenced by the stats in the table below.

Zirkzee has outperformed his xG by almost two goals, which suggests that the forward is effective in front of goal, whilst his teammates have let him down with three goals scored from the nine 'big chances' that he has created.
The right-footed attacker's creativity, as a number nine, has been particularly impressive. He currently ranks within the top 22% of Serie A forwards for Expected Assisted Goals (0.14) per 90, and the top 25% for shot-creating actions (3.14) per 90.
These statistics show that the Bologna star, who was hailed as "unpredictable" by analyst Ben Mattinson, excels as a creator for his teammates as he produced high-quality opportunities for his fellow attackers at an excellent rate.
Coupled with his aforementioned qualities as a finisher, Zirkzee's form in Italy suggests that he could be a superb addition to Erik ten Hag's squad and as Hojlund 2.0, given the whiz could be another fantastic young striker option signed from the Serie A.
Depois de um primeiro tempo ruim, o Santos cresceu, fez um bom segundo tempo e empatou em 1 a 1 com o Red Bull Bragantino na noite deste sábado, no estádio Nabi Abi Cheddid, em Bragança Paulista, em jogo válido pela 10º rodada do Campeonato Paulista.

O jogo
No primeiro tempo, o Red Bull Bragantino marcou pressão na saída de bola e sufocou o Santos. A tática deu resultado aos 26 minutos. Pará saiu jogando errado, o time da casa recuperou e a bola sobrou para Claudinho na entrada da área. O ex-Menino da Vila chutou, a bola desviou em Luan Peres e entrou.
O time da casa quase fez o segundo aos 37. Pedrinho recebeu livre na área, mas o goleiro João Paulo fechou o ângulo do atacante do time de Bragança e salvou o Peixe.
No segundo tempo o Santos voltou mais ligado e empatou logo com um minuto. Marinho recebeu na direita e deu lindo lançamento para Lucas Braga. O atacante invadiu a área e soltou uma bomba para estufar as redes do goleiro Cleiton.
O Peixe chegou a virar em um golaço de Jean Mota, em chute da entrada da área aos 16 minutos. O árbitro deu o gol, mas o VAR apontou um impedimento bastante discutível de Marinho no início do lance.

Rishabh Pant has been the topic of a lot of debate in recent times and Rohit Sharma, for one, feels the young wicketkeeper-batsman must be “allowed to do what he wants to do on the field” and be left alone.After criticism about his shot selection, Pant the wicketkeeper came under scrutiny after he fluffed a chance to stump Liton Das in the second T20I when he collected the ball marginally in front of the stumps, which resulted in the delivery being called a no-ball.”There’s a lot of talk happening about Rishabh Pant, every day, every minute,” Rohit said on the eve of the third T20I in Nagpur. “I just feel that he needs to be allowed to do what he wants to do on the field. And I would request everyone to just keep your eyes away from Rishabh Pant for a while.He is a young guy, probably 21-22 now, trying to make his mark in international cricket, every move he makes on the field, people start talking about it.”While that might be Rohit’s position on Pant, other senior members of the Indian team set-up haven’t shied away from speaking about the youngster in the recent past. Ravi Shastri had called for a “rap on the knuckles” for Pant for his reckless batting, Vikram Rathour had spoken about the importance of being fearless without being careless, and captain Virat Kohli had called on him to read situations better.”I think it’s not fair, I think we should just allow him to play his cricket, which he also actually wants. And yes, focus on him a lot more when he is doing good things also, not just the bad things,” Rohit said. “He has kept well, he is learning every game, and yes, he is just doing whatever the team management wants him (to do). He is a very fearless cricketer, and we want him to have that freedom. And if you guys just keep your eyes a little bit away from him, it will allow him to perform even better.”Since the start of the year, Pant has scored just one half-century across limited-overs internationals, making 195 runs in 12 matches at an average of 21.66 in T20Is and 188 runs in nine games at 23.50 in ODIs. He played all three formats in the West Indies in August, but though he was retained in the T20Is against South Africa, he was replaced by Wriddhiman Saha for the Tests.While former players including Yuvraj Singh have backed Pant, India’s selectors have also made it clear that they want to persist with him across formats.On being asked what would be his piece of advice to youngsters like Pant – and Shreyas Iyer – Rohit said: “Both of them (are) very talented, have great abilities in whatever they do, and yes, definitely the future of Indian cricket, for sure. And they have proved it whenever they have played for their franchise, domestic cricket. They are just trying to make their mark in international cricket.Rishabh Pant exchanges notes with Rohit Sharma in the nets•Getty Images
“All I would tell them is (to) just understand their game, which is very, very important in whatever format you play, and feeling confident about yourself is very important. I think they are working hard towards their game, and I don’t see any reason why they can’t get the results on the ground. They have everything that is required to be successful at the international level. They work really hard on their games and yes, at the same time they are learning also. They are very new to this set-up. They are learning every game and with experience in a year or two, you will see them batting differently.”All we want them to do is to just go out there and enjoy, and be fearless. That would be the message from my side. Because as a young player when you are coming into the side, that is what you look forward to, having that freedom from the management. That is what we are here to assure them, that ‘you have all the backing that you need, you have all the freedom that you need, so just go out there and express yourself’. That is when players like these give you the best performance.”Over to the bowling unit, and while India have been attempting to give more and more players a chance in the lead up to the T20 World Cup next year, not all of them have grabbed their chances yet. Khaleel Ahmed, for one.”This is the time for youngsters to learn. We always say that playing domestic cricket is important and learn more. Till you don’t play international cricket you won’t know where you stand as a bowler,” Rohit said. “I think this is a good challenge for our bowling group because you’re playing against an international team. They will always challenge you, batsmen will play shots and challenge you. You won’t know where is your bowling until you’re put under pressure. I think for these bowlers it’s a good time to know where they stand.”

Além disso, o Ato foi revogado também por causa da falta de condições para a sua manutenção. Ela era feita por meio de umPlano Especial de Pagamento Trabalhista (Pept) via Ato 20/2020 do Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da Primeira Região (TRT-1).

Cabe salientar que a decisão foiassinada pelo desembargador corregedorregional Jorge Fernando Gonçalves da Fonte, porém cabe recurso por parte do clube carioca. Neste sentido, com o cancelamento do Ato Trabalhista, os riscos de penhoras individuais voltam a preocupar, já que cerca de R$ 100 milhões de dívidas trabalhistas poderão terexecuções individuais.
Na decisão, o desembargador cita que o Gigante da Colina descumpriu obrigações que configuram na manutenção do plano. O magistrado também ressaltou que o clube solicitou a repactuação de passivos em virtude das dificuldades apresentadas na pandemia global de Coronavírus, concedida algumas vezes.

علق ثروت سويلم عضو رابطة الأندية على أزمة احتجاز لاعبي الزمالك في الإمارات، مؤكداً تقديم الاعتذار لـ مسؤولي الإمارات بعد واقعة ثلاثي الأبيض الأخيرة.
وكانت أزمة قد نشبت بين ثنائي الفريق مصطفى شلبي ونبيل عماد دونجا ومعهما عبد الواحد السيد مدير الكرة، مع فرد الأمن في مباراة بيراميدز.
وتم التحفظ على الثلاثي من قبل الشرطة الإماراتية للاعتداء على فرد أمن بمباراة بيراميدز، في الدور نصف النهائي، التي حسمها الفارس الأبيض بركلات الترجيح والتأهل إلى المباراة النهائية من بطولة كأس السوبر المصري.
وقال ثروت سويلم في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة ام بي سي مصر2: “السوبر المصري يمثل مصر وحدث رياضي محترم، ونشكر الإمارات ومجلس أبو ظبي الرياضة على استضافة كأس السوبر”.
وأكمل: “اعتذار الزمالك أتى متأخرًا، لكن أن يأتي متأخرًا أفضل بكثير من ألا يأتي، بعد اعتذار الزمالك يجب أن نغلق الستار على الواقعة لعمق العلاقة بين مصر والإمارات”.
وتابع: “الحمد لله أن الذي الواقعة حدثت في مباراة الزمالك وبيراميدز وليس في مباراة الأهلي والزمالك”.

Manchester United have been linked with a huge double deal, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe thought to be pushing for a major club overhaul on and off the pitch this summer.
What Ratcliffe says goes at Old Trafford
Since his arrival in December 2023, Ratcliffe has been laying down the law at Old Trafford. He has been responsible for the arrival of new CEO Omar Berrada, poached from major rivals and Premier League champions Manchester City.
He has also begun proceedings to sign a further two backroom staff members, though neither deal has yet been completed. Dan Ashworth, ex-Brighton transfer guru, is on gardening leave with Newcastle United after being approached by the Red Devils, and is expected to leave the Magpies in favour of Manchester United sooner rather than later, though a major stumbling block remains the £20m compensation that Eddie Howe's side are demanding.

Ratcliffe is also believed to be readying an approach for Crystal Palace Sporting Director Dougie Freedman, who would arrive at Old Trafford as the head of transfers ahead of the summer. Freedman is understood to be open to the move and Sir Alex Ferguson is also lending his weight to the deal, which could begin to move in earnest soon.
Nottingham Forest's former manager Dougie Freedman.
With those in the pipeline, attention has turned to the pitch, with the new United chief already plotting squad changes.
Major rebuild to start with Serie A swoop
After a disappointing campaign, Manchester United are in need of a rebuild. The club look set to miss out on Champions League football for next season, and will likely be playing in the Europa League barring a drastic change in fortunes in the final ten games of the season.
As per the Manchester Evening News, as many as 21 players could depart in some capacity as the club look to trim their wage bill and get rid of players that are falling below the required standard.
That will, of course, require new signings to counterbalance departures, with a centre-back and central midfielder two of the key areas to fill before the new season.

Previously, the club have been linked to a double signing from Everton this summer, but now new links suggest that they could have turned their attention elsewhere.
As per Sport Witness, United sent scouts to watch the clash between Atalanta and Bologna recently with two players firmly on the radar. The first of those is midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, who followed up his performance against Bologna with two goals against Juventus and has been wowing fans this season.
He wasn't the only Atalanta star who was under the microscope though, with defender Giorgio Scalvini also very much on their radar. Neither player would come cheap though. Reports in Italy have previously priced Koopmeiners at 60m euros and Scalvini at 50m euros.
Teun Koopmeiners in action for Atalanta in the Serie A.
With both positions in desperate need of being filled at Old Trafford, those prices suggest that a deal to bring the pair to the northwest of England would cost around £94m. It is added that the club are 'watching their performances closely' as they look to plot a 'rebuild' led by Ratcliffe this summer.
Given Tottenham's impressive Serie A signings in recent summers (Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie and Dejan Kulusevski to name but three), United may see the Italian top flight as a more cost-effective way to bring talent to Old Trafford rather than paying the extortionate prices their fellow Premier League clubs demand.
They won't be alone thinking that though, with Tottenham likely to continue plundering from the Italian top flight and Juventus always lurking in the background.
أعرب خالد مرتجي، عضو مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي، عن سعادته البالغة بفوز المارد الأحمر على العين الإماراتي، في ربع نهائي كأس الإنتركونتينينتال، مُشددًا على أن الشياطين الحمر هم مصدر سعادة الشعب المصري.
وسحق الأهلي نظيره العين بثلاثية نظيفة، على ملعب استاد القاهرة، وسط حضور جماهيري كامل العدد، ليتأهل المارد الأحمر إلى نصف نهائي كأس الإنتركونتينينتال، وينتظر الفائز من المباراة التي ستجمع بين باتشوكا المكسيكي والفائز بلقب كأس ليبرتادوريس (ممثل قارة أمريكا الجنوبية).
وقال خالد مرتجي، في تصريحات عبر إذاعة “أون سبورت إف إم”: “الأهلي هو مصدر سعادة المصريين، عندما تتعرض لوعكة صحية بسيطة بخسارتنا بركلات الترجيح في السوبر الإفريقي، لا شك إنك تستعيد رونقك وقوتك والتي مصدرها الأساسي الجماهير الكبيرة، أن تفوز ببطولتين في أسبوع واحد كرم من ربنا”.
وتابع: “أهنئ رجال الأهلي والجهاز الفني، وأهنئ الكابتن محمود الخطيب في عيد ميلاده الـ 70 اليوم، وأعتقد أن الفوز هو أفضل هدية، وأهنئ مجلس الإدارة الذي يعمل من أجل مصلحة النادي وليس حبًا في المناصب”.
وأضاف: “ماذا حدث في جلستك مع دان أوتول سكرتير عام مساعد الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم قبل المباراة؟ هو منذ 8 سنوات في الاتحاد الدولي، وسبق وقابلته في اليونان، وقال لي أنا أتمنى أن أزور النادي الأهلي، وأنه سوف يحضر مباراة العين، وأكد أنه يتشرف بزيارة هذا النادي العظيم، الأهلي لا أعتبره ناد مصري إفريقي، بل ناد عالمي، وأي أحد يزور مصر يتمنى زيارة النادي”.

وواصل: “جلست معه قبل المباراة، وكان سعيدًا وتمنى أن تكون جميع الأندية مثل الأهلي، وقال لي أنا متخيل أنكم لستم أكبر ناد في إفريقيا ولكن الأكبر في العالم، بعد أن أعطيته فكرة عن النادي، وأنه ليس قلعة رياضية فقط، بل يخدم قطاعات كبيرة”.
وأردف: “استاد القاهرة كان متغير 180 درجة، والشركة المتحدة رغم أنها حصلت على أموال كثيرة منا من أجل تنظيم هذه المباراة، إلا أنهم قدموا عملًا عظيمًا، وكنا فخورين باستاد القاهرة، الأهلي عندما يفعل شيئًا يكون مفخرة لـ مصر، الأهلي هو أعظم مؤسسة ناجحة في هذه البلد”.
واستكمل: “نتمنى أن نواجه ريال مدريد، لأن هذا شرف كبير لأنه أعظم فريق في العالم، وأن تتواجد معه في نفس البطولة هذا شرف كبير، ونحن على يقين في قدرة الله ولاعبي الفريق والجهاز الفني والجماهير العظيمة”.
وأشار: “إمام عاشور من أعظم صفقات الأهلي، لاعب نادر لا يوجد مثله كثيرًا، هو مُتعجل على نفسه، لكنه مازال صغيرًا، هو لاعب مُجتهد ويريد أن يُسعد جماهير الأهلي، وأي لاعب يدخل منظومة النادي يتأقلم ويدخل في القالب ويسير على الطريق الصحيح، وهو من أعظم الصفقات التي انضمت للقلعة الحمراء في أخر 10 سنوات”.
وشدد: “علاقتي بـ مارسيل كولر علاقة صداقة وليست عمل، أنا لا أتحدث معه في أي أمور تخص العمل لأن هذه ليست من صلاحياتي، وهو رجل مُخلص يعمل 18 و19 ساعة في اليوم، لا يكل ولا يمل من أجل سعادة الجماهير، وكيله قال لي أنا عمري ما شاهدت كولر يضحك مثلما يضحك في الأهلي، الأهلي هو من يصنع الأبطال”.
وأكد: “الذي خلفه جمهور مثل الأهلي لا يُمكن أن يُكابر، المهم أن نعمل بشكل صحيح، والأسد يمرض ولا يموت، خسرنا السوبر الإفريقي بركلات الترجيح، لكنها كانت مثل (الحقنة إللي تفوقنا)”.
واختتم: “إن شاء الله نظل مصدر سعادة الشعب المصري بصفة عامة، وجمهور الأهلي بصفة خاصة”.
Chance for fresh start could be the re-making of young talent after three years in the wilderness

Haseeb Hameed has had a lean three years in county cricket•Getty Images
After bowling Gloucestershire out for 205 on the first day at Cheltenham in May 2019, Lancashire had 20 overs to bat out ahead of the close. It was the sort of situation in which an in-form opening batsman thrives: there was no pressure on them to score, simply to survive by leaving, ducking, weaving and blocking.But in May 2019, Haseeb Hameed was not an in-form opening batsman. He came into this game on the back of two tame dismissals to the unheralded Worcestershire seamer Charlie Morris: trapped lbw looking to work a straight ball to the leg side in the first innings, and caught in the slips playing an expansive drive in the second. His previous 32 first-class innings had brought one hundred and no fifties; his director of cricket Paul Allott had suggested that he was “hanging by a thread” at the club.One can only wonder what was going through his head at the non-striker’s end as Keaton Jennings clipped one off his pads out to straight midwicket, but on external evidence, it wasn’t a lot. He stared vacantly at the ball as Jennings called him through for a single, and looked up to see his partner bounding down the track towards him. Panicked, he put his head down and charged towards the keeper’s end but the throw was good, the keeper whipped off the bails, and Hameed’s miserable run had continued. He looked to the skies, dejected.Hameed played six more Championship games in the season and was dropped without ceremony. In November 2016, he had made a battling, unbeaten half-century with a broken finger in Mohali, an innings so dogged and resolute that Virat Kohli marked him out as a “future star”. Since then, he has averaged 20.55 in first-class cricket, passing 50 five times in 67 innings.Where did it all go so wrong?***The theories behind Hameed’s downturn in form are plentiful, though many of them rely on speculation. He played his first List A game at the start of 2017, and some suggest that playing 50-over cricket has made him lose his judgement outside his off stump.Others blame the influence of his father, who took it upon himself to become Hameed’s batting coach during his teenage years. One source suggests that Lancashire’s coaches were frustrated with the extent to which Hameed allowed his father to influence his game, though it is all too easy to pedal the pushy Asian father stereotype: when things were going his way, it didn’t seem to be such a problem.Justifiably, some feel he was hung out to dry by Allott. It is all too easily forgotten that Hameed is only 22 – that Lancashire’s director of cricket repeatedly expressed his disappointment to the press about Hameed’s form cannot have been helpful.And finally, there is the suggestion that he might not have been the player many hoped in the first place. Of course, nobody makes nearly 1200 Division One runs as a 19-year-old without a great deal of talent, and he has long been marked out as a superstar in the making.But, the theory goes, Hameed has always been a better player of spin than seam: 60 percent of the balls he faced in his only Test series were from spinners, and in the past three Championship seasons, only four of his 48 dismissals have been against spin. In three of his four Championship hundreds in his breakout year, more than a third of deliveries he faced were bowled by spinners; in his first ton, against Warwickshire, Jeetan Patel bowled 48.8 percent of the balls he faced.ALSO READ: Hameed signs for Notts after Lancashire releaseIn truth, it is hard to isolate a single factor with any great confidence. What those outside of Hameed’s close circle know is that he is a talented young player who has lost his way dramatically and publicly in the past three seasons: a switch of counties will surely do him good.Hameed’s move to Nottinghamshire, initially on a two-year deal, seems like it will suit him. Several counties were interested in securing his signature, and while it is easy to point to the struggles of some of those batsmen who have moved to the club recently – Ben Duckett, Joe Clarke and Ben Slater, for example – as evidence that the grass isn’t always greener, it feels like a fresh start can only help him.It was no surprise to see Hameed mention both Mick Newell (director of cricket) and Peter Moores (head coach) in the press release that accompanied the announcement of his signing, and while it might seem like a stretch, the wording – “a special mention to [them] for believing in me” – hinted at a sense of isolation towards the end of his time at Lancashire. And while Moores’ wider reputation has never recovered from his second spell as England coach – in particular the fallout from the debacle that was the 2015 World Cup – he remains one of the most popular and respected coaches on the county circuit, and young players relish the chance to work with him.Throw in the prospect of playing on pitches that are generally pretty flat at Trent Bridge and the fact that his first season will see the club play in Division Two, and the move seems to lay the ideal foundations for a comeback. Hameed seemed destined for greatness three years ago, and is surely too good to endure many more lean seasons; both for his immediate interests and for his career in the long run, he needs this signing to work out.
