Guardiola’s team, which also features Oscar Bobb, Ruben Dias, Jack Grealish, and John Stones, has a fantastic list of absentees, including Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, who will miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury.

We had them trapped in the entire time, so we deserved it,” Wilson said. The win puts Marco Silva’s team in ninth place, three points out of the…

Monday’s first ODI will be but a footnote, an extension of an apparently unalterable trend, in the final analysis of Australia’s complete dominance over Pakistan at home. Australia has now defeated Pakistan at home in 27 of the previous 28 games played in all forms, including a triumph at the MCG with 99 balls remaining. However, Haris Rauf bowled the following over, the sixth of his delivery, after Shaheen Shah Afridi had Josh Inglis hole out in the deep to bring in a new man. However, that would seriously undermine a Pakistani retaliation that was both abrupt and unanticipated. This…

There are rumors regarding Mitchell Starc all the time. In Australian cricket, he is a lightning rod for opinions. However, the rumors circulating at the beginning of this summer are creating a great deal of enthusiasm. Two weeks ago, his off-Broadway Sheffield Shield seven-wicket haul at the MCG caused a stir in the dressing rooms of Victoria and New South Wales. With five Test hundreds under his belt, Victoria coach Chris Rogers made a fleeting jest about following David Warner in making a Test return, but he reconsidered after seeing Starc bowl. On the opening day of the Australian men’s…

Following criticism from the umpires during his lone outing for Surrey in this season’s County Championship, the England and Wales Cricket Board has requested that Bangladeshi all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan have his bowling action examined. Shakib, 37, made his first appearance in the Championship since a brief spell with Worcestershire in 2010–11, taking nine wickets for Surrey in an exciting match against Somerset at Taunton in September. He had accepted a short-term contract as a left-arm spinner to support Surrey’s championship challenge at a period when eight players, including their two front-line spinners, Will Jacks and Dan Lawrence, were away…

Despite Jos Buttler rejoining the team, Phil Salt will take wickets for England in their Twenty20 International series against the West Indies. White-ball skipper Buttler has only fielded in the two games that were played in Trinidad during England’s last Caribbean trip in December 2023, keeping in 106 of his last 108 T20 matches. Ahead of the third ODI, Salt stated in Barbados, “I haven’t done a lot for England lately.” However, I like to keep. I believe that’s where I contribute the most on the side. In this ODI series, Salt has been awarded the gloves ahead of Jordan…
