The PCB has declined a request by the Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association (PVCA) to write to the BCCI and invite an Indian veterans team to play in Pakistan. The PVCA, following the PCB’s refusal, have sought help from the Pakistan President, who is also the patron-in-chief of the country’s cricket board.”We have written a letter to PCB’s patron-in-chief Mr Asif Ali Zardari asking him to instruct the board to accept our request of writing to BCCI,” Fawad Ijaz Khan, the president of the PVCA said. “The tour is being organised for a noble cause and therefore the cause should be supported as it will only help in rebuilding the lost image of Pakistan.”There has been no international cricket in Pakistan since the attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore in March last year, while a breakdown in diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks in November 2008 have affected cricketing ties between the two countries. Pakistan cricketers have not featured in the last two IPLs, and haven’t played India in a bilateral series since.There have been attempts on the Indian side to get the tour going. The Board for Veteran Cricket in India (BVCI) had agreed to tour Pakistan to play Twenty20 matches to raise funds for flood victims, but required approval from the BCCI. Former India opener Chetan Chauhan, president of the BVCI, said that the Indian body had applied to the BCCI for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) more than six weeks ago. “We are not associated with the BCCI but we always want to be on the safe side and so we take an NOC with the BCCI and then go to the Sports Ministry and after that the Home Ministry for the visa process.” The process of going through the paperwork once the NOC was received from the BCCI, he said, would take about three weeks.Chauhan said his Pakistani counterparts had assured the BVCI of PCB’s support. Chauhan wanted the Pakistan veterans body to get a letter of support from the PCB. “We asked for this letter of of assistance and co-operation, so we can talk to the BCCI. If the PCB directly wrote to the BCCI, there would be nothing like it. We would really want to help their cause.”There is a good chance that the entire process may have been slowed down at the Indian end, due to security concerns on the part of the Indian veterans themselves, with some officials fearing last-minute withdrawals by cricketers they would have decided to select for the tour.

Jadson será poupado domingo, e Renê deve desfalcar Timão na Libertadores

MatériaMais Notícias

Além de Fagner e Clayson, suspensos, o Corinthians não terá Jadson no jogo contra o Botafogo-SP, domingo, pela última rodada da primeira fase do Paulistão. O meia sentiu um desconforto na coxa direita, não tem lesão, mas será poupado até porque tem dois cartões amarelos – ou seja, se recebesse mais um, seria desfalque no confronto de ida das quartas de final. Após a fase de grupos, os cartões são zerados.

– Certo é sem Fagner e Clayson, e Jadson não vou levar pelo segundo cartão. A princípio só esses três jogadores não viajam – afirmou o técnico Fábio Carille, durante lançamento do livro de fotos do título brasileiro do ano passado.

O treinador também lamentou a lesão de Renê Júnior, que já foi desfalque na última quarta-feira por conta do problema na coxa esquerda e será reavaliado nesta sexta. Além do duelo deste domingo, o volante ainda deve perder o jogo contra o Deportivo Lara (VEN), na próxima quarta, pela Libertadores.

– Eu não tenho que ter preocupação. Tenho que ir atrás de soluções. Machucou, a gente lamenta porque vinha em uma crescente muito boa, mas tenho que ir atrás de soluções. Ralf estreou bem, o Gabriel está para voltar (cumpriu suspensão no último jogo), o Maycon que joga por dentro… Enfim, é ir atrás de soluções para o melhor para o Corinthians – disse Carille.

Nesta quinta-feira, o Corinthians informou que Jadson realizou fortalecimento muscular na academia do CT Joaquim Grava, enquanto Renê Júnior será avaliado na sexta.

Com os desfalques, o Timão deve encarar o Botafogo-SP com: Cássio, Mantuan, Balbuena, Henrique e Sidcley; Gabriel e Maycon; Lucca, Mateus Vital, Rodriguinho e Romero.

Kamran, Malik question PCB's 'non-clearance'

Kamran Akmal and Shoaib Malik have questioned the PCB’s decision not to ‘clear’ them for selection for the tour of New Zealand.

Kamran Akmal and Shoaib Malik have questioned the PCB’s decision not to ‘clear’ them for selection for the tour of New Zealand. Kamran, the wicketkeeper who was not in the squad announced for the Twenty20 and Test series, had received clearance for selection from the ICC after he wrote to them asking if he was under investigation.”I am disappointed at being left out because I forwarded an email from the ICC to the PCB last month that cleared my name for selection,” Kamran told . “So I should know why I was excluded.” Kamran had written to the ICC after they had sent him and Salman Butt notices, during Pakistan’s tour of England in August, seeking information about events related to the 2010 World Twenty20 held in the Caribbean in May.Kamran, Malik, Mohammad Yousuf and Danish Kaneria were all left out of the squad for the New Zealand tour and Pakistan chief selector Mohsin Khan said while Yousuf’s exclusion was due to lack of fitness, the rest had not been cleared by the PCB.Malik, a former captain who has not played international cricket since Pakistan’s controversial tour of England in February, pointed to his track record. “I have performed well in the domestic season,” he said, “and throughout my 11-year career I have never been involved in any wrongdoing and was not even in the team when all those [spot-fixing] allegations were levelled.” Malik played in neither the Sydney Test nor against England at Lords – the two matches understood to be under investigation for spot-fixing by the ICC.Pakistan channel aired footage featuring alleged bookmaker Mazhar Majeed claiming Kamran was among seven players obeying his orders during matches. Kamran admitted Majeed was his marketing agent but denied that he had been involved in any wrongdoing.”Majeed has been many Pakistani players’ agent,” he said. “He was Inzamam-ul-Haq’s agent, Yousuf’s agent and represented several other players including Umar Gul and Salman Butt. But I have never been involved in any wrongdoing.”Kamran was dropped from the second Test on the tour of England after making wicket-keeping mistakes and getting a pair in the first Test. He continued to struggle with his keeping on the tour and was excluded from the Twenty20, ODI and Test series against South Africa in the United Arab Emirates. He underwent a minor appendicitis operation before the tour but was fit when his brother Adnan Akmal was brought into the Test side after the controversial retirement of Zulqarnain Haider. He also scored 530 runs at an average of 75.71 for National Bank in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, including his maiden first-class double-century against Fasialabad.”I am performing well at first-class level, so I still hope to play for Pakistan in the one-day series against New Zealand and then in next year’s World Cup,” Kamran said. Pakistan will announce a separate squad for the six ODIs to be played in New Zealand.

Man Utd in transfer battle for Pau Torres

Manchester United are interested in signing Villarreal defender Pau Torres, according to reports from Spanish media.

The lowdown: Torres a wanted man

The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League for some time now, and Chelsea were among the leading contenders in last summer’s transfer window.

Since then, Torres has gone from strength to strength in Spain and has helped guide the La Liga outfit to an unlikely Champions League semi-final spot, having overcome Juventus and Bayern Munich along the way.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-man-utd-news/” title=”Latest Man Utd news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

It now appears that the strongest interest could be coming from the northwest of England…

The latest: Transfer tussle

As per Spanish sources, United are set to do battle with local rivals Manchester City for the capture of the Spanish defender.

Reports claim that the Red Devils and City have the ‘same goal’ for next season in attempting to capture Torres this summer.

It is stated that the 17-cap ace – who was hailed as ‘sensational’ by Spain manager Luis Enrique – is regarded as the ‘best option’ for Erik ten Hag as the Dutchman looks to strengthen the squad at Old Trafford.

The verdict: Top-drawer player

Bringing Torres to United would be a superb piece of business from Ten Hag and what looks sure to be a new-look backroom team.

While club captain Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Phil Jones and Eric Bailly make up a well-stocked defensive department, they have fallen short of their expected levels at various times this season, as proven by the concession of 52 Premier League goals.

So far this season, Torres has scored five times in 42 appearances across all competitions whilst earning an impressive 7.07 Sofascore rating from 29 La Liga outings – making 3.2 clearances and 54.6 accurate passes per match and helping to keep 10 clean sheets in the process.

That is the type of solidity and assurance that Ten Hag and United could do with as they seek to restore the Old Trafford club to its former glories.

Shafiq, Misbah give Pakistan control

Pakistan retained the advantage in the Hamilton Test with their batsmen edging out a testing battle against the New Zealand bowlers on a placid surface more deserving of a one-sided contest. Middle-order batsmen Asad Shafiq and Misbah-ul-Haq batted patiently to rebuild Pakistan’s reply to 275, which had lost track in the session before tea against a determined spell from the seamers. The pair provided stability to the innings and set the platform for a lead with an unbeaten 128-run stand that has eased the burden on the inexperienced line-up to follow.The bowling was unthreatening, the conditions even more so with the virtual absence of swing and movement. Such a situation lent itself to a waiting game, one that New Zealand appeared to have an upper hand in after Taufeeq Umar and Younis Khan brought about their own downfall post lunch. Misbah and Shafiq played their own waiting game, assured that the pitch would have little role to play in their dismissals and aware that a bad ball wasn’t too far away with New Zealand rotating their bowlers. Both were opportunistic, Shafiq more so than Misbah, helping offset any extended period of quiet with the occasional boundary and taking their team closer to the first-innings target.Shafiq found the boundaries with ease on a quick outfield, clipping and driving the seamers through midwicket and fine leg and using his feet well against spin. He charged out to Daniel Vettori to loft him over mid-on, rocked on the back foot to punch Kane Williamson through the covers and stepped out to part-timer Martin Guptill to smote him over midwicket. Too often did the seamers bowl on his pads – his fifty was brought up with a tickle to fine leg – but he also scored through off, driving through point and cover.Misbah’s intention was to occupy the crease and he did that well with his solidity in defence and not feeling compelled to force the pace with a fluent partner at the other end. He’s been Pakistan’s in-form batsman in Tests with three half-centuries in four innings against South Africa, and a century in the warm-up match prior to this. His first major expansive shot, quite inexplicably, came towards the end of the day; a slog-sweep for six off Williamson. He then went a notch higher, reverse-sweeping the same bowler successive boundaries to reach his half-century just two overs before stumps. For the bulk, Misbah ceded floor to Shafiq and secured one end for Pakistan.The pair built on the efforts of the Pakistan seamers, who brought about an early conclusion to New Zealand’s innings on the second morning, and Taufeeq. Tim Southee and Williamson had set up frustrated Pakistan with a fighting stand to save New Zealand the embarrassment of being bowled out for under 200 on a track full of runs. But their resistance ended this morning when Pakistan’s seamers made up for the lack of purchase from the pitch by ruffling the batsmen up with short deliveries.When the time came to defend 275, New Zealand’s bowlers were guilty of doling out freebies on the pads, Chris Martin particularly, and Taufeeq duly dispatched them. Martin was struck for three boundaries in an over, through midwicket, square leg and mid-on, while Brent Arnel paid for dropping too short, slashed and pulled to the ropes.Post lunch, however, New Zealand bowled better. Lengths were rethought and both Martin and Arnel targeted the good-length area, and angled the ball in by bowling round the wicket to the left-hander. Taufeeq, who had dealt in boundaries, became more restrained and didn’t help himself when he struggled to middle the ball when opportunities came his way. He lost a solid partner in Azhar Ali not too long after lunch, and that gave New Zealand an opening.Taufeeq fought through his frustration by reaching his first half-century since 2003 by guiding Arnel to the third-man boundary, while at the other end Younis injected some urgency to the innings. Like Taufeeq had done before lunch, Younis went after Martin, opening the face to square-drive him thrice for fours and flicking him to the fine-leg boundary.But just when it seemed Pakistan were emerging out of a difficult phase, they put themselves back into one. Taufeeq played a loose flick straight to midwicket, and Younis closed the face too early to spoon a catch back to the bowler. It was Arnel who dismissed the pair, leaving it to the captain Misbah and Shafiq to rebuild.

Mithali, Priyanka hand India series

Mithali Raj struck an unbeaten 51 to lead India to 128, a score they comfortably defended thanks to legspinner Priyanka Roy and seamer Soniya Dabir who shared 5 for 27 in seven stifling overs

ScorecardMithali Raj struck an unbeaten 51 to lead India to 128, a score they comfortably defended thanks to legspinner Priyanka Roy and seamer Soniya Dabir who shared 5 for 27 in seven stifling overs.India were powered to a strong start by openers Poonam Raut and Amita Sharma who added 21 in 2.4 overs. Thereafter Mithali took control of the situation, pacing the innings perfectly in Harmanpreet Kaur’s company. The pair added 43 to take India to 85 for 3 in 13.2 overs, and the lower order landed enough blows to sustain the momentum to the end, despite Shemaine Campbelle’s spell of 3 for 20. Reema Malhotra finished the innings in style, reverse-sweeping and lapping the last two deliveries for boundaries.West Indies’ chase began disastrously when Juliana Nero was run out without a run on the board. Deandra Dottin attacked from one end, but India kept striking at the other to cripple the chase. Stacy-Ann King and Shanel Daley tried to revive things with a 40-run stand after the score had limped to 46 for 5, but could not break free, and wickets again began to tumble from the 15th over. Pearl Etienne launched a six towards the end, but barring that, India guarded the boundaries well, and sealed the Twenty20 series to go with their 3-2 ODI triumph.
