Anil Kumble, the newly-elected KSCA president, has said his team’s tenure at the helm of the administration and governance of Karnataka cricket is an opportunity to prove that cricketers can make a difference at all levels of the game in the state. “I believe we – all of us in the team – have the commitment, the intention, to change Karnataka cricket, to take it to the next level, to develop the facilities, the grassroots cricket,” Kumble told news channel . “We have the opportunities, we want to showcase that cricketers can make a difference. We have a belief, like we had on the cricket field.”Two other famous former Karnataka cricketers, Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad, were elected to the posts of secretary and vice-president respectively in what could prove as a landmark moment in the governance of cricket at the state level in India.Kumble beat the incumbent president of the KSCA, Srikanta Datta Narasimharaja Wadiyar, the former Maharaja of Mysore, and his team won 22 out of the 24 seats up for grabs.”It wasn’t a fight, we have great respect for the maharaja, he’s done a great job for the KSCA,” he said. “It’s just that there was a lot of factionalism and our job was to keep that out of the KSCA. We wanted to work as a team and that is what we’ll do.”The KSCA elections were under extensive scrutiny since the time Kumble, Srinath and Prasad announced their candidatures. When asked if the results of the KSCA election could spark off a trend of cricketers stepping into administration across India, Kumble said: “We wanted to make a difference. We wanted to be part of the administration and make the changes. We will make a difference but please don’t expect a miracle in 10 days, or when New Zealand play India at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in the ODI series. We have the expertise and the commitment; we will make people accountable for their performance.”Rahul Dravid, who made 191 in the third Test against New Zealand, had backed Kumble and his team in the elections and admitted there was much to be done after the win. “We have got a good mandate, we respect and recognise the mandate and we know that there is lot of work to be done.”

MatériaMais Notícias

Ainda sem estrear pelo Avaí, o atacante Beltrán vai passar por exames no sábado. Se os resultados forem positivos, ele poderá ficar à disposição do técnico Claudinei Oliveira.Contratado no início do ano, o jogador assinou contrato de produtividade com o Leão da Ilha. Beltrán só irá receber o salário integral quando começar a atuar com a camisa do clube. Por enquanto, o atleta recebe apenas parte dos vencimentos.

A previsão inicial para a liberação de Beltrán do departamento médico era em fevereiro. O atacante, no entanto, teve dificuldade para se recuperar de umdéficit muscular.

Em entrevista para a CBN/Diário, o médico do clube, Luiz Fernando Funchal falou sobre a demora na recuperação de Beltrán. Ele, no entanto, considerou o processo normal.

James Pearce drops key Liverpool team news

Liverpool forward Divock Origi is available for his team’s Champions League semi-final clash against Villarreal tonight, according to journalist James Pearce.

The Lowdown: Origi misses weekend win

The Reds picked up a crucial 1-0 away to Newcastle United in the Premier League last weekend, with Naby Keita’s goal the difference between the two sides. Origi played no part in proceedings, though, after the Belgian was ruled out through illness.

As Liverpool prepare to take on Villarreal in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final this evening, a positive update has emerged regarding the Belgian.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-liverpool-transfer-news-30/” title=”Latest Liverpool transfer news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=“none”]

The Latest: Origi back to face Villarreal

Taking to Twitter, Pearce confirmed for The Athletic that Origi would indeed return to the Reds’ squad in Spain, with Roberto Firmino missing out as expected. He tweeted:

“Origi set to return to the squad but CL semi-final 2nd leg v Villarreal comes too soon for Firmino.”

The Verdict: Another famous contribution?

While it would be a huge shock if Origi starts a game of such magnitude given that he’s been in the XI just twice in the European run so far, having him to call upon as an option off the substitutes’ bench is an immediate boost to Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.

The 27-year-old has shown how adept he is at popping up in huge moments, scoring important goals against Wolves and Everton this season, not to mention a legendary strike in a previous Champions League semi-final second leg against Spanish opposition…

If the tie is finely poised going into the last 20 minutes, don’t be surprised to see Klopp show faith in the Belgium international as he looks to write one more famous chapter in his Liverpool career before possibly moving on this summer.

One of the surprises in Pakistan’s preliminary 30-man World Cup squad was the absence of batsman Fawad Alam, whose omission has been attributed to his lack of form by chairman of selectors Mohsin Khan.”We simply could not find a place for Fawad in the squad and that was down to him not being in the sort of form needed in a tournament like the World Cup,” Mohsin told .Alam scored two half-centuries in his previous eight one-day innings, but he also has four single-digit scores, including his last two knocks against South Africa in Dubai two months ago.Pakistan had announced their squad on Tuesday, a day ahead of the ICC’s extended deadline for naming the 30. Shoaib Malik, the former captain, and legspinner Danish Kaneria have also been left out of the probables. Kamran Akmal, the wicketkeeper who has been out of favour over the past few months, has been included.The PCB hasn’t said so publicly but the trio have been under suspicion in the aftermath of the spot-fixing scandal that has rocked Pakistan’s cricket. Akmal was the subject of an ACSU notice earlier this year but has since asked for and received a written clearance from the ICC.

قرر الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا”، فتح تحقيقًا ضد الاتحاد الأرجنتيني لكرة القدم بعد ما حدث الليلة الماضية في مباراة ربع نهائي كأس العالم 2022 ضد هولندا، بحسب “موندو ديبورتيفو”.

وانتهت المباراة بفوز الأرجنتين 4-3 بركلات الترجيح، بعد التعادل في الوقت الأصلي والإضافي 2-2، ليتأهل رفاق ميسي إلى نصف النهائي لمواجهة كرواتيا.

وبعد نهاية المباراة، صرح حارس الأرجنتين، إيمليانو مارتينيز، علنًا عن عدم موافقته على تعيين ماتيو لاهوز، وقال: “لقد مدد الحكم 10 دقائق، لقد أراد أن تتعادل هولندا، إنه أسوأ حكم إلى حد بعيد، نظرًا لخروج إسبانيا من ربع النهائي، فقد أرادوا منا أيضًا أن نغادر”.

كما اشتكى ليو ميسي من الحكم الإسباني، وصرّح: “لا يمكنك وضع حكمًا مثل هذا لا يرقى إلى مستوى هذه المباريات، كنا خائفين قبل المباراة لأننا عرفنا أنه سيكون الحكم”.

ولكن أيضًا خلال المباراة كانت هناك حوادث مختلفة مثل الاحتفال الأخير لفريق ألبيسيليستي، حيث سخر باريديس نفسه وأوتاميندي من لاعبي الفريق البرتقالي، بمجرد أن سجل لاوتارو هدف الفوز.

وبحسب الصحيفة الكتالونية، فإن الغرامة قد تكون اقتصادية فقط، ومن الممكن أن يكون هناك عقوبات على اللاعبين.

MatériaMais Notícias

Pela primeira vez neste Campeonato Carioca, o Fluminense conseguiu um resultado positivo em termos financeiros nas partidas realizadas no Rio de Janeiro (o duelo com o Flamengo, na Taça Rio, foi em Cuiabá). A final do segundo turno do Estadual, entre o time tricolor e o Botafogo, que aconteceu no último domingo, no Maracanã, rendeu, a cada clube, uma quantia de R$ 43.834,93. O confronto teve22.838 torcedores pagantes e 26.842 presentes.

Em campo, os comandados de Abel Braga venceram por 3 a 0 e garantiram a conquista da Taça Rio.

Para se ter uma ideia, no Clássico Vovô no primeiro turno – que terminou em empate sem gols -, também no Maracanã, cada agremiação amargou um prejuízo de R$ 145.041,26.

Nesta quinta-feira, o Fluminense volta ao estádio, desta vez, para a semifinal do Carioca, contra o Vasco, e a equipe das Laranjeiras tem a vantagem do empate. Os ingressos já estão disponíveis.

O Maracanã foi pouco utilizado nestes primeiros meses da temporada devido a uma sequência de shows que teve no local. Em alguns casos, os clubes usaram o Nilton Santos ou o Raulino de Oliveira, em Volta Redonda. A ausência do Maraca foi bastante criticada por técnicos e dirigentes, principalmente, quando Fluminense e Flamengo tiveram de atuar na Arena Pantanal, em Cuiabá.

IPL 2011 likely to have ten teams

The fourth season of the IPL is set to go ahead with 10 teams and 74 matches as originally planned, according to sources

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Dec-2010The fourth season of the IPL is set to go ahead with 10 teams and 74 matches as originally planned. ESPNcricinfo has learnt the BCCI is not likely to move the Supreme Court after it lost High Court appeals against the stay orders granted to the termination of Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals. The decision also means that the player auction should go ahead as previously scheduled on January 8 and 9.The news comes in three days after a division bench of the Bombay High Court dismissed the BCCI’s appeal against the court’s interim order staying the termination of the Punjab franchise. It is learnt that the BCCI didn’t want to make an “ego issue” out of the dispute by prolonging the legal fight against what the court called an “erroneous and flawed” decision to terminate the franchise.The BCCI’s acceptance of the court’s verdict seems to have ended an air of uncertainty around the player auction, and the tournament itself.In October the BCCI had expelled Punjab and Rajasthan, holding the franchises guilty for violating the franchise agreement on three counts, including changes of ownership that went unreported to the board. With the Kochi franchise also mired in an ownership wrangle, it had seemed then that the 2011 IPL would not have even eight teams, the number of teams that participated in the first three seasons. The dispute between Kochi’s owners, however, was settled and the franchise was cleared for the IPL earlier this month.The 2011 season will begin five days after the World Cup, which ends on April 2. The IPL’s governing council had originally announced the format for the season in September, and had also set down rules for player retention.
