Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach and former West Indies legend Brian Lara remained non-committal on Friday about appointing opener Mayank Agarwal as the team’s captain after the 2016 IPL champions recruited the former Punjab Kings captain during the IPL 2023 mini-player auction. Agarwal’s promotion to captain in the 2022 season didn’t quite go as per plan, as the runs from his bat seemed to dry up. In what was a rather lacklustre season instead, he managed just 196 runs in 13 matches at an average of 16.33, as Punjab ended sixth in the league. Agarwal was sacked from the franchise after…

The fantastic bicycle kick by Richarlison against Serbia has been chosen the best goal of the 2022 World Cup. The forward scored in the 73rd minute of the South American team’s first game of the tournament to secure a 2-0 victory. Richarlison, positioned in the centre of the goal, around 12 yards out, took his first touch to flip the ball up in the air after an outside-the-foot cross from teammate Vinicius Jr from the left flank. The Tottenham attacker then twisted and delivered a fantastic volley while his body was completely airborne. The following strike eluded Serbian defender Milos Veljkovic’s attempts to block the ball…

Manchester United and Brazil midfielder Fred is reportedly on French giants Paris Saint-Germain’s radar, and it is suspected that the Parisians will push for a move that will bring him to the French capital in the summer of 2023. The Red Devils, however, have triggered an option that will extend Fred’s tenure for an additional year earlier this week, but that is not regarded as a deterrent for the Parisians, who don’t mind paying a fee in order to secure the services of the Brazilian. With the arrival of his compatriot and teammate Casemiro, Free has lost his place in the…

A massive question mark clouds over the future of Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains without a club following the termination of his contract at Manchester United. Tumultuous several weeks for the Portuguese striker, where he saw himself dropping to the bench after the entry of Erik Ten Hag to Manchester United, culminated in an explosive interview with journalist Piers Morgan, where he publicly slandered the Red Devils manager, players and the owners of the club as well. This proved to be the last straw, as the Red Devils came to a mutual agreement with the five-time Ballon d’or winner to terminate…

The West Indies will begin 2023 by travelling to Zimbabwe for a bilateral series comprising two Tests. The tour will commence on February 4, and both games are slated to take place at Bulawayo’s Queens Sports Club. The Windies are already eliminated from the WTC championship race, and as a result, the upcoming match is of little significance to them. With a PCT of 40.91%, the Caribbean team is currently in sixth place on the points standings, and with the top four teams in contention, the Windies do not even stand a chance this time around. Most recently, the West…

Arsenal’s disallowed goal against Manchester United in September was one of six Video Assistant Referee errors in the Premier League this season, reports ESPN. Gabriel Martinelli’s early strike at Old Trafford was overturned by VAR after Martin Odegaard’s weak challenge on Christian Eriksen was ruled a foul and highlighted to referee Paul Tierney. According to ESPN, an independent panel comprised of three former players and one representative from both the Premier League and PGMOL examined the decision and concluded that ruling out the goal was a mistake. ‘On the camera, you can always make it look a little bit worse, but,…

Ireland left-arm pacer Josh Little has opened up about his time as a net bowler for the Chennai Super Kings in the IPL earlier this year. The 23-year-old claimed he was duped into thinking he’d get an opportunity to play if someone was hurt, but that didn’t happen. The Irishman did not agree with the way he was treated despite being an international cricketer. The youngster joined the franchise halfway through the season as a net bowler ahead of the tournament’s 15th season. The left-arm paceman told Cricbuzz in an interview that the treatment he received despite being an international…

As Australia crushed India by 54 runs on Tuesday at the Brabourne Stadium to win the series 4-1, Ashleigh Gardner put on another all-around performance, and Grace Harris kept up her spectacular big-hitting ways. India’s batting order collapsed for 142 after Gardner and Harris led the hosts to a series-high 196 for 4, and Heather Graham claimed a hat-trick in just her third T20I for the national side. At a juncture when a more humiliating defeat was certain, Deepti Sharma struck a crucial half-century to lead India to a respectable score. https://twitter.com/imfemalecricket/status/1605562795315015680 India did well with the ball early on, sending both of Australia’s…

Despite requests from certain former players that the batsman reconsider his position, Australian batting mainstay David Warner has no plans to stop playing Test cricket, according to his representation. In Brisbane’s maiden Test match against South Africa, which the home team won by six wickets in under two days, Warner was out for a duck in one innings while only scoring three runs in the other. Prior to the first Test against the Proteas, the 36-yer-old had scores of 5, 48, 21, and 28 in the four innings this summer. He last struck a Test century in January 2020. Warner’s agent,…
