Glamorgan’s quarter-final hopes hit with Selman, Labuschagne, Neser left out of squad for Middlesex game

Matt Roller27-Jun-2021Glamorgan’s hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Vitality Blast have been hit by news that Nick Selman has tested positive for Covid-19 and that Marnus Labuschagne is a potential close contact.Selman, the top-order batter, is the club’s second-highest run-scorer in the Blast this year with 130 runs in six innings, and will spend 10 days in self-isolation after returning a positive result from a PCR test, ruling him out of four T20 fixtures.Perhaps the bigger blow is the loss of Labuschagne, who, along with his compatriot Michael Neser, has been identified as a “potential close contact”, leading the club to withdraw them from the squad to play Middlesex at Radlett on Sunday.Labuschagne is Glamorgan’s highest run-scorer and seventh in the competition’s run charts overall, and has also taken seven wickets while conceding only 7.43 runs an over with his legbreaks. With Colin Ingram also playing as an overseas player, Neser has not yet been required in the Blast.Related

The club confirmed that Sunday’s fixture against Middlesex would go ahead as planned after the rest of the club’s playing and coaching staff all returned negative Covid tests. Billy Root and Sam Pearce – Wales’ captain in National Counties cricket – have been added to the squad as cover.Glamorgan are seventh in the South Group, three points behind fourth-placed Sussex having played a game more, and are running out of time to put a string of wins together and propel them into the knockout stages for the first time since 2017.Several counties have been affected by positive Covid tests and enforced periods of self-isolation over the last two seasons. This year, Durham, Surrey, Nottinghamshire and Middlesex have all had players miss games due to positive tests or track-and-trace requirements, while Hampshire, Yorkshire and Northamptonshire were affected last season.

There were five run-outs during Pakistan’s chase, before rain gave the home side a win by the DLS method

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Jul-2021West Indies Women successfully defended their low total of 125 in a rain-affected second T20I against Pakistan Women to seal the three-match T20I series in North Sound on Friday. The hosts won the match via the DLS method, with Pakistan Women seven runs short of the par score of 110 when rain stopped the game with two overs remaining. Pakistan had five run-outs, with Nida Dar top-scoring with 28.Having elected to bat first, West Indies rode on contributions from middle-order batters Chedean Nation and Kycia Knight, who hit 28 and 30 not out respectively, and injected urgency into the innings after coming together at 69 for 4 in the 14th over.Knight and Nation stitched a 32-run stand from 26 balls for the fifth wicket, both hitting two fours and a six apiece. For Pakistan, Anam Amin and Fatima Sana picked up two wickets each, with the latter conceding just 18 runs from her four overs and also bowling a maiden.Pakistan suffered early blows during their chase, with the top three back in the dugout with just 25 runs on the board. Hayley Mathews bowled Javeria Khan in the first over, while Javeria Rauf and Iram Javed were among the five Pakistan batters who were run-out. Pakistan’s innings also featured rain interruptions and the worrying incidents of two West Indies players – Chinelle Henry and Nation – collapsing on the field and being taken to hospital.Dar and Sidra Nawaz’s partnership of 42 for the fourth wicket helped stabilise the innings, but it wasn’t enough as rain interruptions threatened an early finish. Nawaz’s dismissal for a 25-ball 17 sparked a mini-collapse, with Pakistan losing three wickets for 11 runs. Aliya Riaz (17* off 15) and Sana (8* off 6) showed intent at the end, but the rain came down just after the pair had taken 15 runs off Anisa Mohammed’s 18th over, denying the game a potentially thrilling finish.

Even as Ipswich Town look to prepare for their next Premier League game at home to Fulham this coming weekend, there will also be obvious eyes on transfer deadline day as the Tractor Boys attempt to finish off any last-minute deals.

Kieran McKenna's side have been very active across the summer window, snapping up 12 signings in total with Jack Clarke and Chiedozie Ogbene the most recent additions.

This number could well grow to a hefty 14 before the window slams shut, with Lyle Foster one new name on the Ipswich agenda as a striker target, alongside this exciting winger being linked.

Ipswich join bidding war for EFL star

According to The Sun's live transfer blog, as has been relayed by Football League World, Ipswich have joined the ongoing bidding war for Tom Fellows, with an £11m bid lodged by the newly promoted side for the Baggies attacker.

Southampton are also noted as being an interested party who could make their own bid soon, alongside both Leicester City and Everton reportedly sniffing around for the breakout 21-year-old, who only ever really got his first chance in the West Brom first-team last season under Carlos Corberan.

This might well be a transfer saga that goes the distance, as the clock nervously ticks away on deadline day, with TEAMTalk speculating that a bid in and around the £15m mark could be enough for West Brom to be tempted into offloading their homegrown gem last minute.

What Fellows can offer Ipswich

Both Fellows and Foster could strike up a fantastic duo at Portman Road, if both last-ditch deals are finalised in time, as Ipswich continue to raid the Championship of their top assets.

Ipswich supporters will already be familiar with Fellows' full-throttle game patrolling down the right flank, as the energetic West Brom number 31 scored the superb solo effort above against McKenna's men last season, with that tenacity still present early into the brand new second-tier campaign.

Fellows has picked up three assists from three games so far, as Josh Maja rekindles his goalscoring best next to the in-demand 21-year-old, with Foster licking his lips at the potential prospect of linking up with the assist king at Portman Road too, as the South African forward goes about finding his shooting boots once more.

Foster's numbers for the eventually relegated Clarets were promising last campaign, however, as the 23-year-old managed to pick up eight goal contributions from 24 Premier League contests, with six big chances also missed, which could have bumped up his output even more.

Next to Fellows, who has been the creative spark Maja has needed to net four goals from three Championship games in the infancy of this campaign, after only scoring once last season, the South African attacker could become a reliable option for McKenna to throw into games up top if the West Brom man takes to the top-flight swimmingly.

Described as being an "unbelievable" talent when first making a name for himself out on loan at Crawley Town by then Crawley coach Darren Byfield, a move up to the Premier League would continue the homegrown West Brom product's sudden rise, with the Tractor Boys in need of more options in the right-wing spot owing to Wes Burns recently injuring himself.

Fellows would be able to provide depth here, alongside Omari Hutchinson and Ogbene, and could push for a position in the first-team in no time, as Ipswich continue to hunt down gems from the EFL right up until the very end of the window.

In the race: Ipswich line up last gasp move for “prolific” Broja upgrade

Ipswich Town have a new striker target in mind.

ByKelan Sarson Aug 28, 2024

An unbeaten 80 by Virat Kohli and a stunning half-century by Rohit Sharma in an unfamiliar but effective opening partnership set India up for a comfortable win in the fifth T20I before Bhuvneshwar Kumar finished it off to seal the series 3-2 in Ahmedabad.India left out regular opener KL Rahul and brought in an extra bowler, T Natarajan, in a move Kohli described at the toss as prompted by a desire to “bring in a good balance with bat and ball”. But there was no denying Rahul’s struggles – he had made 1, 0, 0, and 14 in the series – and his absence meant Kohli would open for just the eighth time in T20Is. Kohli and Sharma combined for a 94-run stand from 56 balls to lead India to a commanding total of 224 for 2, their third-highest T20I total at home and fourth highest overall. Persisting with the back-of-a-length and short-pitched bowling which had brought them success through the series, England’s attack looked toothless on this occasion as India’s batsmen adapted and thrived.

India fined for slow over-rate

India have been fined 40% of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate during the fifth T20I in Ahmedabad.
Javagal Srinath, the ICC match referee, found the side two overs short of their target at the end of England’s innings after time allowances were taken into consideration. The charges were leveled by on-field umpires Anil Chaudhary and Nitin Menon, and third umpire KN Ananthapadmanabhan. There was no need for a formal hearing as India captain Virat Kohli pleaded guilty to the offence and accepted the sanction.
According to Article 2.22 of the ICC code of conduct, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined 20% of their match fees for every over their side fails to bowl in the given time.

England had said after India levelled the series 2-2 with an eight-run victory on Thursday that they would relish the pressure of a must-win clash as ideal preparation for the World Cup in October. They set out in pursuit needing to score at 11.2 an over and recovered from the early loss of Jason Roy as Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler carried them to 62 for 1 by the end of the powerplay, which compared favourably with India’s 60 for 0, en route to a 130-run partnership.But some wonderful bowling by Kumar – who claimed 2 for 15 from his four overs, including 17 dot balls and the vital wickets of Roy and Buttler on a batting-friendly pitch – damaged England’s hopes beyond repair. Shardul Thakur accounted for Malan and Jonny Bairstow in the space of four deliveries, which left England needing 83 off the last five overs. When Eoin Morgan fell cheaply to Pandya, the task proved too much.Rampaging RohitGoing into the match with scores of 15 and 12 for the series after being rested for the first two matches, Sharma unleashed a masterclass of timing, power and elegance with an effortless-looking 64 off just 34 balls that consigned Kohli to the shade initially. No sooner had Kohli thumped Jofra Archer for a beautiful cover drive for four, Sharma signalled his intent, threading an Archer slower ball between point and cover for a boundary of his own. From there, Rohit took charge, nailing Adil Rashid over deep midwicket for the first of five sixes.When Mark Wood came into the attack in the fourth over, India took 13 off it, including two fours that Rohit drilled straight back down the ground. Kohli brought up India’s 50 with a huge six over long leg in Wood’s next over and Rohit produced an almost identical shot three balls later. Wood, having taken 3 for 18 over the three previous powerplays he bowled in this series, ended up conceding 28 runs off two overs with nothing to show for it in this one. Rohit crashed sixes off Jordan, thudded over deep square leg, off Sam Curran to bring up his fifty having narrowly evaded Wood in the deep when his leading edge dropped short, and off Ben Stokes with an 83m hit down the ground. It was Stokes who finally made the breakthrough with a legcutter which Sharma dragged back onto his stumps to end an entertaining and valuable innings.Kohli comes out to playKohli took his cue at Sharma’s dismissal and stepped into the limelight with an unbeaten 80 off 52 deliveries. He was well supported by Suryakumar Yadav, who had top-scored with 57 in the fourth match, which was just his second T20I. This time Yadav played a tidy cameo of 32, hitting not his first ball for six as he had in his previous innings, but his second and third, both off Rashid. After 10 overs, India had struck eight sixes. Only once had they hit more by the halfway stage of a T20I – 10 against New Zealand in Christchurch in 2009. Hardik Pandya was unbeaten with 39 off 17 but it was Kohli who provided the steel in an imposing India innings. He added another six to his earlier one off Wood and his seven fours, when he charged down the pitch to launch Stokes over long-on in the 13th over. He brought up his third fifty of the series with two clipped neatly through square leg off Wood and took 12 runs of Archer in the final over of the innings.Jason Roy is thrilled after completing step two in a fabulous tandem boundary catch with Chris Jordan•Getty Images

What a catch, JordanChris Jordan’s torrid time with the ball was epitomised when he all but nailed his yorker to Yadav only to watch the batsman thread it nonchalantly between point and third man. Jordan managed a wry smile at the time but he brought a grin to his team-mates’ faces – none more so than Roy – with his hand in Yadav’s eventual dismissal. Yadav lofted Rashid down the ground and Jordan, running full-pelt towards the boundary to his right from long-on, stuck out his right hand and the ball stuck beautifully. That was until Jordan’s momentum continued to propel him over the rope and he had the presence of mind to lob it to Roy, waiting like a Cheshire cat at deep midwicket. The catch would go down next to Roy’s name, perhaps adding insult to the injury of Jordan conceding 57 from four wicketless overs, but his brilliance in the field was undeniable. And, while it’s little consolation, he wasn’t the only England bowler left hurting – Wood went for 53 runs from his four overs.Malan to the foreWhen Kumar had Roy out for a duck on the second ball of England’s chase, with one that swung in as the batsman charged down the wicket for an attempted slog over midwicket and clattered into middle and off, it was still India’s game. But then England showed the might of a top order that the likes of Alex Hales – historical off-field issues aside – and Joe Root can’t break into. England could have been tempted to tinker with line-up, with suggestions they should take a look at Stokes at No. 3, and they might have done had it been a dead rubber but, with the series on the line, they went with their full-strength side. Malan, the No. 1-ranked T20I batsman in the world, had not breached 25 in four innings going into the match. But his 68, combined with some power hitting by Buttler, who carted Rahul Chahar for two sixes in the eighth over and another in Chahar’s next as the bowler conceded 20 runs in seven balls, kept England in the contest.Malan also broke Babar Azam’s record for the fastest batsman to 1000 T20I runs. Azam reached the mark in 26 innings, while Malan’s knock took him to 1003 runs in 24 innings.Brilliant BhuviIt was Kumar who had put England on the back foot and he struck again when Buttler holed out to Pandya at long-off for 52 in a pivotal 13th over of the innings yielding not only the wicket but just three runs. By that stage England had fallen considerably behind at 130 for 2, compared with India’s 140 for 1. At the same time, Kumar had taken 2 for 9 from three overs to squeeze England before Thakur and Pandya accounted for Bairstow, Malan and Morgan in quick succession to leave the tourists short of answers.

Tottenham Hotspur's pre-season performances suggest that the unity is intact and Ange Postecoglou's vision is being further reinforced ahead of his second season at the helm.

The craggy-faced Australian has recently admitted that signing a centre-forward is Spurs' "focus", with Bournemouth's Dominic Solanke being considered for transfer.

However, work is needed elsewhere, and with Emerson Royal mooted for a transfer to AC Milan, the north Londoners appear to be interested in a new right-back.

Spurs transfer news

As per Firenze Viola earlier this week, Tottenham have identified Fiorentina's Michael Kayode as the perfect Emerson replacement, with the 20-year-old also attracting interest from Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

La Viola's €30m (£25m) demands might be a little steep given the right-back has just completed his first season in Serie A, but if a more agreeable fee can be found, Spurs may well advance to complete an exciting deal.

Djed Spence upgrade

He might be viewed as Emerson's replacement in the Lilywhites first team, but Kayode could also prove to be a big upgrade on Djed Spence, whose time at Tottenham has not gone according to plan.

Spurs signed Spence from Middlesbrough for £20m in 2022 after his electric displays in the Championship, having been hailed as the "standout player" in Nottingham Forest's side while on loan in 2021/22.

Now one week away from his 24th birthday, Spence has completed only six senior fixtures for the London side, enduring a string of frustrating loan spells – the last of which was with Genoa in Serie A across the second half of last season.

Failing to really make a mark in Italy, Spence did feature regularly but left plenty to be desired, and given that comparison can be drawn from Kayode's own performances in the division, it can be seen that Spurs might be wise to cut their losses and sign an exciting upgrade.

As you can see from the table above, Kayode wiped the floor with his positional peer in the Italian top flight last season, proving to be the more rounded and robust player, also picking with greater regularity.

Moreover, Kayode ranks among the top 12% of full-backs across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for tackles made per 90 as per FBref, backing up praise from analyst Ben Mattinson that he is something of a "duel monster".

Since Kayode has only taken his first steps into senior football, there is an element of risk involved in launching a high-cost bid for his services, but he's positively outshone Spence and would surely be an improvement on both him and Emerson, who has been said to be "not really suited for Ange-ball" by writer Simon Yemane.

Praised for one "extraordinary performance" by Fiorentina chairman Daniel Spade, his physique, power and blooming defensive steel would make for an interesting tool to add depth to the defensive right flank, serving as a foil to Pedro Porro's dynamic skillset.

Daniel Levy needs to get this one done and ensure that Tottenham rise to another level this year.

Crystal Palace are gearing up for the 2024/25 Premier League season under manager Oliver Glasner, who joined halfway through last season, guiding them to a tenth place finish.

The aim will be for Glasner to improve the squad, and finish in the top half of the table again, even after losing the jewel in the crown, Michael Olise, to Bayern Munich. But Palace have been busy themselves, acquiring Daichi Kamada and Chadi Riad thus far – with Ismaila Sarr also expected to arrive imminently.

And the Eagles don't seem to be done there, with further links to attacking prospects and defensive reinforcements, as well as the possibility of some big-name outgoings, such as Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze.

Crystal Palace transfer news

According to reports from TBR Football earlier this summer, Crystal Palace could be interested in a move for Chelsea winger, Raheem Sterling. The reports claim Sterling had been mentioned at Palace during Olise discussions.

West Ham are another club that are reportedly interested in Sterling, with Chelsea making it clear the 29-year-old isn't in their long-term plans, despite being one of the best-paid players at the club, earning around £325k per week

Sterling made 43 appearances in all competitions for the Blues last season, scoring ten goals, providing eight assists and totalling 2,759 minutes of football.

Sterling vs Sarr comparison

Sarr made 35 appearances for Marseille last season in all competitions, scoring five goals, providing six assists, and totalling 2,074 minutes played. He is tasked with replacing the output of Olise, who made 19 appearances for Palace last season, scoring ten goals and providing six assists in 1,278 minutes.

But Sterling could prove to be a better option than Sarr to replace the output of Olise, scoring double the amount of goals and providing two more assists than Sarr last campaign, in what is widely renowned as a tougher league.

Stats taken from FBref

Sterling ranks far closer in creative metrics to Olise than Sarr does, and actually has better metrics than Olise in progressive carries per 90 with 5.46, and touches in the penalty area per 90 with 7.60.

The Chelsea winger provides more goal threat, shown by his higher shot volume, and non-penalty goal per 90, and also doubled Sarr's five goals last season. Sterling's ability to average 7.60 touches in the penalty area also highlights his goal threat, and ability to occupy dangerous positions.

A mixture of goal threat and creativity would make Sterling a far better option for Palace to replace the output of Olise, however, the stumbling block could be over the £325k per week wages, as Sarr only earns around (£70k-per-week).

That said, Sterling could even become Palace's answer to Wilfried Zaha, who left the club back in 2023 having scored 90 goals, and provided 62 assists in his 458 appearances for the club.

Zaha was the club's undoubted talisman for almost a decade and still leads the way with 68 Premier League goals for the club, albeit with that tally actually eclipsed by the Chelsea man, who boasts 123 goals in England's top-flight.

That showcases just what a reliable and consistent performer Sterling could be at Selhurst Park, with a move across London perhaps the best scenario for all parties.

Chelsea have made an approach for one of Atletico Madrid's ex-players, with former manager Antonio Conte personally trying to sign him for Napoli.

Chelsea want to sign another senior defender after Tosin

The west Londoners, as backed by Fabrizio Romano, could bring in multiple centre-backs this summer in their bid to back new head coach Enzo Maresca with key additions.

Veteran centre-back and beloved Chelsea fan favourite Thiago Silva departed Stamford Bridge after four excellent years at the end of last season, making the move back to Brazil with boyhood club Fluminense on a free transfer.

Co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley sought to seal their own Bosman deal with the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham, who will help to fill the void left by Silva's exit.

However, the 26-year-old may just be one of two new central defensive additions this summer, with reports still linking Chelsea to top-quality new players who could star at the heart of Maresca's new-look backline.

GiveMeSport shared the news last week that Chelsea could use Trevoh Chalobah in a part-exchange bid for Murillo, who played a crucial role for Nottingham Forest last season as they narrowly avoided Premier League relegation.

At one point, Chelsea were involved in a public race with Arsenal to sign Riccardo Calafiori as well, but the Italy international has agreed a five-year contract with the Gunners as they look to agree on a deal with Bologna (Fabrizio Romano).

It remains to be seen if Maresca's side perhaps mount a last-minute hijack to sign the 22-year-old, which has happened in the past where Arsenal are concerned, like with Chelsea's deal for Mykhailo Mudryk in 2023.

In the meantime, Chelsea continue to eye alternatives to Calafiori, with former Real Madrid prodigy Mario Hermoso now on their radar. The 29-year-old recently left Real's arch rivals, Atletico Madrid, on a free after his contract expired – making him up for grabs at zero cost.

Chelsea make approach for Hermoso as Conte tries to sign him for Napoli

The Spaniard, who made 174 appearances in total for Atletico and helped guide them to a La Liga title in 2021, is desperately wanted by ex-Chelsea boss Conte at Napoli.

According to Radio Punto Nuovo, Conte is said to have explained his methods and project to Hermoso personally, and has even asked the versatile centre-back to wait for Napoli as the Serie A side work to make player sales before signing him.

The ex-Espanyol star was apparently impressed by his talks with Conte as well, but Premier League sides are lingering in the background and still offer Napoli a threat.

Chelsea have approached Hermoso's agents over potentially signing him and hijacking Conte's move, tentatively asking for information on a deal. Another one of Conte's former clubs, Tottenham, are also described as a danger to Napoli's move as they display "dormant interest".

Will the squads the same as they would have been last year?No. Contracts for 2020 were cancelled after the tournament’s postponement, and a modified retention process was drawn up ahead of 2021.What has changed?One key difference for 2021 is that Kolpak registrations are no longer valid, meaning players like Dane Vilas, Ravi Rampaul and Simon Harmer who signed contracts for the Hundred’s first season can only be retained as overseas players, having previously counted as locals. With only three overseas players permitted per squad (and in each team’s playing XI), they were all released ahead of the draft.Furthermore, the salary bands in the men’s competition have been cut by 20%, meaning top earners will now be paid £100,000 rather than £125,000, with those on the lowest salaries earning £24,000 rather than £30,000.How does the men’s retention process work?Teams were able to retain as many players as they want from the 15-man squads assembled at last year’s player draft, at a salary band negotiated with the player. The process ran from October until January, with a mini-draft held in February for teams to complete their squads. Teams will be able to sign one ‘wildcard’ player at the minimum salary band following next season’s T20 Blast group stage.What happens to the England players?England will not play any white-ball cricket during the window reserved for the Hundred, meaning that their players on white-ball central contracts are part of the main selection process. Players in the Test squad will be required for international cricket during the tournament, and are likely to be available for three group games and Finals Day. Therefore, players with red-ball central contracts are allocated outside of the main draft. They will be paid match fees and a separate retainer.There were a few changes from the allocations for 2020, with Ollie Pope replacing Jonny Bairstow at Welsh Fire, Zak Crawley moving out of the main draft grid and becoming London Spirit’s Test player, and Rory Burns and Dom Sibley moving to Oval Invincibles and Birmingham Phoenix respectively.How did the mini-draft work?At the end of the retention window, the finalised retained player list was published, showing which slots teams still have free. Teams then picked players in a snake draft to fill their spots like in October 2019, in the reverse order to the first draft. Each team will also have one right-to-match (RTM) card, which will allow them to retain a player that they had signed for 2020 if another team chooses them in the draft, provided they have a slot free at that salary band.What about the women’s squads?With no player draft for the women, teams are selected by their respective head coaches. Players with contracts for 2020 were given the option to roll them over to 2021 at the same salary band, or to negotiate with other teams. Teams can sign a maximum of three players with England central contracts, and have until June 2021 to finalise their squads.So, who’s already signed?
