The Bangladesh head coach feels the BPL has not helped develop T20 cricket in the country

Mohammad Isam24-Feb-2024

Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusinghe has hit out at the state of the Bangladesh Premier League, indicating that it has not helped develop T20 cricket in the country.Hathurusinghe pointed at the lack of local representation in key batting and bowling roles in the BPL, with the teams often relying on their overseas players for big moments. He also said the ICC should step in to ensure there are regulations in place when it comes to players participating in multiple tournaments in the same window.”We [Bangladesh] don’t have a proper T20 tournament,” Hathurusinghe told ESPNcricinfo. “This sounds very odd. When I am watching the BPL, I sometimes turn off the TV. Some players are not even of the [required] class. I have a big issue with the current system. The ICC need to step in. There has to be some regulations. A player is playing one tournament and then he is playing another tournament. It is like a circus. Players will talk about opportunities, but that’s not right. People will lose interest. I have lost interest.”Hathurusingha said that the Bangladesh players must be given central roles in the BPL.”We need to have a tournament where our players can do things like batting in the top three… Bangladesh bowlers bowling in the death,” he said. “Where will we learn these things otherwise? We have only one tournament.”This season Chattogram Challengers, Sylhet Strikers and Durdanto Dhaka have relied on overseas players for their top three, while Comilla Victorians, Khulna Tigers and Rangpur Riders have used more local players.When it comes to bowling, Comilla, for example, have 12 bowlers in their squad. At the death, they have used eight overseas bowlers. Khulna and Dhaka too have relied more on overseas bowlers during this period. Chattogram, Rangpur, Barishal and Sylhet have used more local bowlers.Abu Hider’s five-wicket haul for Rangpur against Fortune Barishal also underlined just how under-utilised local bowlers are. After missing several games, he took five wickets in his second outing.Khulna called up Jon-Russ Jaggesar, a 37-year-old offspinner from Trinidad and Tobago, whose last competitive game before the BPL appearance was in September 2022. Khulna had spinners Nasum Ahmed, Arif Ahmed and Habibur Rahman in their squad. Left-arm spinners Taijul Islam and Rakibul Hasan played five and two matches respectively for Barishal, who got Keshav Maharaj after he was done with the SA20 stint.Hathurusinghe said the BCB should organise a separate tournament only for local players before the BPL so they could get more T20 experience.”My suggestion is that we have another tournament before the BPL,” he said. “The franchises do what they want. Some of the best players are not playing. Then how do you expect the Bangladesh team to be up with the other teams? I am fighting a steep battle.”

da mrbet： Na manhã desta quarta-feira (15), o Palmeiras realizou mais um treino seguindo a preparação para o confronto da semifinal do Campeonato Paulista diante do Ituano, neste domingo (19), às 16h, no Allianz Parque. O meio-campista John John comentou sobre o seu aprendizado em 2023 e citou colegas de equipe como inspiração.

– São experiências incríveis estar com o melhor elenco do Brasil atualmente. Só tenho de agradecer ao Palmeiras e a Deus pelas oportunidades. É muito difícil um menino novo hoje estar se encaixando em um elenco como esse, então eu tenho trabalhado muito no dia a dia para conseguir meu espaço e, junto do grupo, alcançar os nossos objetivos.

da bwin： A primeira oportunidade do jogador na temporada foi justamente na vitória do Verdão diante do time de Itu fora de casa, por 3 a 1, no dia 25 de janeiro, entrando no lugar de Rafael Navarro na segunda etapa. O meiafoi promovido ao elenco profissional neste ano e agora tem a oportunidade de participar do dia a dia e de se relacionar com inspirações.

– Eu vejo muito o Veiga, o Tabata e o Zé Rafael. São jogadores em quem eu me inspiro e tento pegar um pouco de cada para estar somando no meu futebol – revelou John John.

– O rachão é um momento de descontração e tive a oportunidade de disputar uma bola com o professor, onde coloquei um pouquinho na frente (risos), mas é brincadeira. Ele tem conversado com a gente para termos paciência, que o nosso momento uma hora ou outra vai chegar. O Ituano é um adversário difícil.

Desde 2021 no Palmeiras, John John foi campeão dos principais títulos do sub-20: Campeonato Paulista, Copa do Brasil, Brasileiro e Copa São Paulo de Juniores. Além disso, participou da campanhado título brasileiro profissional em 2022.

O camisa 40 do Verdão também falou sobre os conselhos que recebe da comissão técnica e projetou um duelo difícil contra o Ituano na semifinal do Paulistão.

– Eu pude jogar contra eles no começo do campeonato e temos de respeitar como sempre fazemos com todos os adversários. Vamos colocar o nosso jogo em prática para buscar vaga em mais uma final – completou John John.

O Palmeiras volta a treinar nesta quinta-feira (16), às 10h, na Academia de Futebol. A equipe comandada pelo técnico Abel Ferreira vai em busca do bicampeonato estadual e do segundo título neste anos. O primeiro foi o da Supercopa do Brasil diante do Flamengo.

da roleta： Manchester City and Pep Guardiola could sanction the departure of an “incredible” £300,000-a-week player this summer, as the club plan an overhaul of the squad, according to a Sky Sports journalist.

Man City reach seven FA Cup semi-finals in a row

da esport bet： The Blues secured their place in the last four of England’s oldest competition on Sunday afternoon, as they came from a goal down to beat AFC Bournemouth 2-1. The FA Cup represents City’s only chance of winning silverware this season, and Guardiola believes his side were “outstanding” in their win over the Cherries.

“It was harder for them [Bournemouth]. We played an outstanding game and had incredible chances but missed a penalty. We conceded with one chance we gave away. Our approach was magnificent. Seven times in a row in the semi-final in the FA Cup, no team has done it, and it will be difficult for any other to do what these legendary players, the new ones and the old ones, will have done,” Guardiola told the BBC.

Pep was then asked about City reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for a seventh consecutive season, and he labelled it an “unbelievable” achievement.

“It is unbelievable. The way we competed today compared to the way we played in the first game here [in the Premier League]. I was not good enough to overcome that situation then. We were sloppy for many games, and I was not able to let them realise is what they have done today. For example, Brighton was a difficult game; we didn’t play our best, but we fought. This is what had to happen.”

Man City could sanction Grealish exit as Pep plans busy summer

Despite possible success in the FA Cup, it has been a poor campaign for the Blues, and therefore, there is expected to be plenty of incomings and outgoings come the summer.

According to Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg, Man City could look to sell Jack Grealish this summer as the Blues plan a busy summer of change.

Plettenberg states that City are planning a squad overhaul in the summer, and with them holding an interest in players such as Florian Wirtz and Hugo Larsson, the likes of İlkay Gündoğan and Kevin De Bruyne are likely departures when their contracts expire, while Grealish could also be moved on despite his not ending until 2026.

Grealish, who earns £300,000 a week at the Etihad Stadium, has struggled for regular game time this season, playing just 16 times in the Premier League, six of which have been starts, and the last one came in the defeat to Aston Villa back in December.

Despite the lack of game time, Guardiola has continued to heap praise on the Englishman, labelling him “incredible”.

“I want him to make goals and assists, and he does too, but it’s not about that. It’s about his contribution without the ball and what he can produce for the other ones. We didn’t sign Jack Grealish for the incredible goals or assists at Aston Villa. It was for another reason. He competes with top, top players as well, and he knows it perfectly. He never complains about that.”

da bet7： Arsenal are now very keen on signing an “amazing” Barcelona player this summer, with Mikel Arteta viewing him as the perfect addition to his squad, according to a report.

Gunners eyeing La Liga stars

da bet7： The Gunners have set their sights on a number of La Liga stars ahead of the summer transfer window, given new Sporting Director Andrea Berta’s extensive links to the Spanish league.

Omar El Hilali is the latest player to emerge as a potential target, given that the Espanyol defender has an attractive release clause of just £12.5m, while new options are also being considered in more attacking areas of the pitch.

Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium, alongside Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams, and the north Londoners have recently made contact to discuss a deal for the Spaniard.

Amid the Spanish club’s financial struggles, Arsenal have also expressed interest in Barcelona players in recent months, with Raphinha being identified as a target back in December, and they are now very keen on a move for a midfielder.

That is according to a report from Spain, which states the Gunners have shown the most interest in signing Barca’s Marc Casado, who has emerged as a key player for the La Liga title contenders this season.

Arteta views Casado as the ideal addition to his midfield, given his tackling ability, and there is a belief he would be a good fit for the Spaniard’s style of play.

That said, it could be very difficult to get a deal done this summer, considering Barcelona are currently unwilling to sanction a departure, given the midfielder’s importance to the team.

There is also a huge £83m release clause included in the 21-year-old’s contract, which could be another potential stumbling block for Arteta.

"Amazing" Casado emerging as key player for Barca

It has been a real breakthrough season for the youngster at Camp Nou, making 35 appearances in all competitions, having solidified his place as a regular starter for the La Liga giants.

As noted in the report, the Spaniard’s tackling ability is particularly impressive, but he is also capable of making attacking contributions, ranking very highly for assists per 90 over the past year, when compared to his positional peers.

There are now doubts over Thomas Partey’s long-term future at the Emirates Stadium, with the Ghanaian holding talks with Atletico Madrid and Barcelona ahead of a potential free transfer in the summer.

Casado, who has been lauded as “amazing” by Hansi Flick, has proven he could be an excellent replacement for the midfielder, but it does not seem like a deal is particularly likely this summer, given Barcelona’s reluctance to sell the La Masia graduate.

Massive 360-run win set up by Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Marsh’s partnership, before visitors folded for 89

Tristan Lavalette17-Dec-2023

Offspinner Nathan Lyon claimed his 500th Test wicket as Australia’s formidable attack crushed hapless a Pakistan on a difficult Optus Stadium surface to win the first Test inside four days.In the middle of the final session, with victory imminent for Australia, Lyon became the eighth bowler to reach the milestone when he dismissed Faheem Ashraf lbw on review to spark jubilant scenes of celebration among the Australia players and the sparse crowd of 9000 fans. He joined Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath as the only Australians to the landmark.Lyon then clean bowled Aamer Jamal later in the over to cap a successful return, after taking five wickets for the match in his comeback from a calf injury that had prematurely ended his Ashes series. Pakistan, who lasted only 30.2 overs in their second innings, crumbled on a wicket that was spicy throughout and deteriorated as the match wore on, with rearing deliveries contrasted by balls that crept low. Set 450 to win after Australia declared 30 minutes into the second session, Pakistan succumbed to brilliant bowling from quicks Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins.They already faced a daunting task to avoid a 15th straight Test defeat in Australia, and it went almost as expected, as Pakistan were blown away in the opening seven overs to slump to 17 for 3. Opener Abdullah Shafique was caught behind in the first over when he poked at a menacing Starc delivery outside off. It was Starc’s 200th Test wicket at home, as he bowled with far more consistency than in Pakistan’s first innings.Captain Shan Masood was dismissed for just 2 when he was caught behind off Hazlewood after driving loosely. It was a tough captaincy debut for Masood, even as he had made a breezy 30 in Pakistan’s first innings; but his team were unable to play a proactive brand of cricket he had promised ahead of the series.Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Marsh had a rapid partnership•Getty Images

Pakistan’s hopes rested on talisman Babar Azam, who defied Australia’s attack for almost ten overs. He worked hard against Cummins, as the pair renewed their battle after a riveting contest on day two. But Babar was helpless against a cracking Cummins delivery that seamed away, as he was caught behind on 14 after having made 21 in Pakistan’s first innings.The only interest left was whether Pakistan could take the match into a fifth day, and if Lyon would reach his milestone. Pakistan’s hopes nosedived when Sarfaraz Ahmed was caught in the slips off Starc before their plight was underscored with a disastrous run-out of Salman Ali Afgha after a mix-up with Saud Shakeel. It brought back ghosts of the past for Pakistan, who were outclassed throughout the Test.They had entered with optimism and made several bold selection calls, including overlooking veteran quick Hasan Ali and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan. But debutant seamers Khurram Shahzad and Aamer Jamal impressed by combining for 12 of Pakistan’s 15 wickets in the match. They bowled a hostile length late on day four and early on day five to rough up several Australia batters.They did the bulk of the heavy lifting, with spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi struggling throughout the match, having been elevated as vice-captain. He finished with match figures of 2 for 172 from 45.2 overs, and bowled mostly in the early 130kph range. Pakistan’s attack will rue their lifeless display early in the Test and had no answers for opener David Warner, who dominated the first day with a belligerent century after Cummins won the toss and elected to bat.Allrounder Mitchell Marsh also had a superb first Test on his home ground with two half-centuries and the wicket of Babar in Pakistan’s first innings. Opener Usman Khawaja made a gutsy 90 in Australia’s second innings, having overcome torrid bowling late on day three and early on day four. It was a dogged performance from Khawaja, having come into the match under the spotlight after not being allowed to wear shoes which expressed humanitarian views.Australia’s victory within four days came in the backdrop of a rebranded Perth Test match, with more than 59,000 fans attending – considerably more than last year’s corresponding Test against West Indies which went the distance. The surface was particularly spicier than last year’s game in a throwback to famous WACA Tests.For Pakistan, however, they barely mustered a better effort than their 72 in the previous Test match they had played in Perth back in 2004, as their horror run in Australia stretching more than two decades continued.

da leao： O Palmeiras está no mercado em busca de reforçar o elenco para a temporada de 2023. Uma das prioridades do clube é contratar um atacante que atue pela ponta esquerda, carência diagnosticada pela comissão técnica de Abel Ferreira. Um dos nomes debatidos nos bastidores palmeirenses é o de Michael, que atua no Al Hilal, no entanto uma série de obstáculos impediram que uma conversa avançasse. Agora, com o término do Mundial de Clubes, o cenário pode mudar em favor do Verdão.

Vale destacar que, segundo a apuração do LANCE!, o Alviverde nem chegou a discutir valores com o clube da Arábia Saudita. Ou seja, não houve proposta até aqui. De acordo com o que foi contado à reportagem, a conversa superficial se deu justamente pela negativa em querer negociar o atacante. Dessa forma, os dirigentes do Palmeiras recuaram, mas não descartaram uma nova tentativa.

da bet7： Na época, o Verdão foi informado que o Al Hilal impediria a saída de qualquer jogador, pois passa por uma punição da Fifa, que proibiu o clube saudita de contratar novos jogadores em duas janelas de transferências. Uma já havia sido cumprida, e acabou de cumprir a segunda no fim de janeiro. Se liberasse algum atleta, não poderia contratar uma reposição bem na véspera do Mundial de Clubes.

O Al Hilal acabou indo longe na competição no Marrocos. Depois de eliminar nos pênaltis os donos da casa do Raja Casablanca, venceu o Flamengo na semifinal e perdeu a final para o Real Madrid-ESP, no último sábado, encerrando sua participação no torneio como vice-campeão do mundo.

Em resumo, dois dos principais obstáculos impostos pelo clube saudita foram deixados para trás, ou que poderia reacender as conversas do Palmeiras para tentar contratar Michael. Da parte do jogador, os dirigentes alviverdes já sabem que uma volta ao Brasil é vista com bons olhos e há o interesse em defender o Verdão. Com essas cartas na manga, a negociação pode começar.

Uma coisa é certa: para contar com o atacante, o Alviverde terá de desembolsar um valor considerável. Há um pessimismo em relação a um negócio por empréstimo, portanto somente uma compra em definitivo deve atrair a atenção do Al Hilal. A equipe saudita pagou cerca de 8,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 46 milhões) pelo jogador, o que já seria acima das pretensões palmeirenses.

A avaliação interna no Verdão é de que Michael se encaixaria perfeitamente dentro do que Abel Ferreira planeja para a temporada 2023, mas há o entendimento de que se trata de um negócio com algo grau de dificuldade. A tendência é seguir o interesse e monitorar o andamento das conversas, mas dando espaço para outros nomes serem observados para essa função na ponta esquerda. Um deles é o de Luiz Araújo, do Atlanta United-EUA, cujas conversas também não tiveram avanços.

أبدى عبد الظاهر السقا، المدير الرياضي لنادي مودرن سبورت، استغرابه من اعتذار مهاجم الفريق حسام حسن، بعد احتفاله بتسجيل هدف في شباك الأهلي، خلال مواجهة الجولة الأولى من الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وانتهت المباراة التي أقيمت على استاد القاهرة الدولي بالتعادل الإيجابي (2-2)، في افتتاح مشوار الفريقين بالمسابقة المحلية.

وقال السقا في تصريحات عبر قناة “ON E”: “التعادل أمام الأهلي بطعم الفوز، المارد الأحمر يمتلك لاعبين (سوبر ستار)، نتحدث عن تغيير واحد يخرج تريزيجيه ويشارك بدلًا منه أشرف بن شرقي، يُذكرني بفريق الزمالك في الماضي عندما كان فريق النجوم”.

وأضاف: “لكن الملعب لا يعترف إلا بالمجهود والتصميم على أن تكون أفضل حتى لو ستدافع، طالما تلعب بالطريقة التي تجعلك تفوز، وأنا أحيي لاعبي مودرن سبورت”.

وتابع: “بدون شك تشكيل الأهلي ساعد مودرن سبورت، إدارة النجوم وصناعة فريق جيد وتشكيل جيد موضوع صعب ويستغرق وقتًا، وساعدنا أن هذه أول مباراة للأهلي في الدوري ولم يحدث الانسجام الكامل بين لاعبيه، وعلى الجانب الآخر لاعبو مودرن سبورت كانوا في حالة تركيز كبيرة”.

وعن الجدل المثار حول احتفال حسام حسن، أوضح: “حسام حسن بشكل لا شعوري بعد تسجيله هدفًا وجد نفسه أمام جماهير النادي الأهلي، وهو من سنتين كان في غرفة ملابس القلعة الحمراء، لكنه لم يقصد، زهوة الفرح بعد الهدف الذي أحرزه اختفت بعد مراجعة صحة الهدف، ثم عادت بعد تأكيده، من حق أي لاعب أن يفرح عندما يُسجل هدفًا في شباك الأهلي”.

وأكد: “طبيعي جدًا إن حسام حسن يحتفل بهدفه في مرمى الأهلي، هو ليس ابن النادي الأهلي، إذًا لماذا يعتذر؟ أنا لا أفهم ذلك، أي لاعب يُسجل هدفًا في الأهلي يجب أن يفرح، لكن لماذا يعتذر؟ هو ليس عماد متعب مثلًا لو كان انضم لفريق غير الأهلي وسجل هدفًا في شباك فريقه القديم، كان مفهوم لو لم يحتفل”.

واختتم السقا حديثه: “أرى أن أي لاعب حقه أن يفرح بهدفه في مرمى الأهلي، خاصة إن حسام حسن كان يُعاني من عدم توفيق كبير، ونحن نراهن عليه، وصفحات التواصل الاجتماعي تكبر حجم المشاكل”.

da bet vitoria： O São Paulo encaminhou mais uma contratação para a temporada 2023. O novo reforço do clube deve ser o volante Jhegson Méndez, que disputou a Copa do Mundo do Qatar pela seleção do Equador. A informação foi publicada pelo jornalista Venê Casagrande, e confirmada pelo LANCE!.

Méndez estava atuando pelo Los Angeles FC, da Major League Soccer (MLS), mas seu contrato termina neste mês de janeiro. Foi aí que o Tricolor viu a possibilidade de assinar sem custos e negociar com o estafe do jogador. Embora tenham tido concorrência forte e esbarrado em valores considerados altos de luvas, os dirigentes conseguiram reduzir a pedida para chegar a um acordo.

da cassino： Dessa forma, o São Paulo encaminhou a contratação do volante, que ainda depende dos trâmites finais e da realização de exames, que podem ocorrer na próxima semana. A oficialização, porém, deve acontecer somente em janeiro, quando ele estará livre de seu contrato nos Estados Unidos.

Aos 25 anos, Méndez foi titular da seleção do Equador na Copa de 2022 nas partidas contra o Qatar e contra a Holanda, mas ficou suspenso do terceiro jogo diante de Senegal, quando sua equipe foi eliminada da competição. Ele defende seu país desde 2018, somando 34 partidas ainda sem gols.

Formado na base do Independiente del Valle, Méndez foi negociado com o Orlando City em janeiro de 2019. O volante ficou por lá até julho deste ano, quando se transferiu para o Los Angeles FC.

Nesta janela de transferências, o São Paulo contratou os atacantes Marcos Paulo (Atlético de Madrid-ESP), Pedrinho (Lokomotiv Moscou-RUS) e Wellington Rato (Atlético-GO), e o goleiro Rafael (Atlético-MG). O clube ainda busca fechar as contratações do atacante David (Internacional), e do zagueiro Alan Franco (Atlanta United-EUA). Nos dois negócios avanços foram feitos nessas últimas semanas, mas ainda sem desfecho positivo para o Tricolor, pois esbarram nos altos valores.
