Not all is well between Brazilian superstar Neymar and French striker Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The duo has been often spotted at odds during PSG's matches this season and there have been reports of a rift between the two stars. However, the club have denied the speculations so far.

Mbappe and Neymar were spotted arguing over penalties at the start of the season which led to rumours of a fallout between the two. Later in the season, the Brazilian was also seen getting frustrated when the French striker refused to pass him the ball for a clear open goal during PSG's Champions League clash against Juventus.

While PSG's head coach Christophe Galtier has already denied the rumours of a rift between the two stars, PSG's football advisor Luis Campos also responded to the speculations. Campos was asked about the reports stating that Mbappe wanted Neymar out of the club earlier this summer after signing a fresh three-year deal at PSG.

Neymar was also linked with a move away from PSG after his average performances last season and reports claimed Mbappe too had a role to play in trying to push the Brazilian out. However, Campos has denied the rumours and said Neymar was never on his way out of PSG.

"No. I even heard that Kylian had demanded that we take Neymar out. No. We count on all three. Last year, Kylian was the best player in the world. Messi was adapting, Neymar was injured and Kylian held the team together. He is a huge player," said Campos.

"But Neymar is a very good player, there is no doubt about that. And above all, everything I heard before about him, I must've listened wrong because he always arrives on time. I see a Neymar involved in the team project, in the club project," he added.

PSG's season so far has been slightly overshadowed by the rumours of a potential rift between Mbappe and Neymar. However, the Ligue 1 giants have started the season well and currently sit at the top of the French league table with 19 points from seven matches. PSG have also won their first two matches in the Champions League.

Senior pacer Mohammed Shami was being touted by many to make a cut in India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 after the Indian pace attack failed to impress in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022. However, there were no major surprises as the selectors recalled fit-again Jasprit Bumrah and Harsha Patel back into the squad while putting Shami on the standby list.

Shami has not been in the mix of things for India as far as T20Is are concerned since the T20 World Cup last year. However, uninspiring performances from the Indian pacers during the Asia Cup 2022 led to debate over Shami's potential comeback in the shortest format of the game.

While he has not been named in India's 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup 2022, Shami is in the reserves and will feature in the upcoming T20I series against Australia and South Africa at home. The senior pacer has a chance to impress in the two series and can be included in the T20 World Cup squad if he does exceptionally well.

A member of the BCCI selection panel recently hinted that Shami still has a chance of being included in the squad if he can perform well and there is an injury or a slip-up in the performances of any of the selected pacers. The selector said Shami could have been considered had Bumrah and Harshal not recovered from their respective injuries.

"Someone who hasn’t played for 10 months in T20Is cannot be selected directly for the T20 World Cup. There was a process that was followed. Harshal Patel made the most during his absence. And it cannot be overlooked. Had Harshal or Jasprit not recovered, Shami could have been selected. He too has to follow the process," a member of the selection committee told InsideSport.

Bouncing back from her shock defeat against Khulan Batkhuyag of Mongolia in the qualification round, Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat went on to beat Sweden's Emma Malmgren in the bronze medal match of the women's 53kg category to create history at the ongoing Wrestling World Championships 2022 in Belgrade, Serbia on Wednesday.

Phogat defeated reigning European champion Malmgren 8-0 in the bronze medal match to secure her second medal at the World Championships. The 28-year-old dominated the proceedings against the Swedish to join an elite list of Indian wrestlers who have won multiple medals at the World Championships.

The Commonwealth Games gold medallist had earlier won a bronze medal at the 2019 edition of the World Championships. She is the first Indian woman to win more than one medal at the Wrestling World Championships.

It was not an ideal start for Phogat at the competition as lost in a one-sided contest against 2022 Asian championships silver medalist Batkhuyag in the qualification round on Tuesday. Phogat trailed 3-0 at the end of the opening round of her match against the Mongolian before going down 7-0 to bow out of the race for the elusive gold.

Former India cricketer Amit Mishra aimed a brutal dig at Shahid Afridi after the ex-Pakistan all-rounder shared some retirement advice for Indian superstar Virat Kohli. Talking about Kohli's career, Afridi said the Indian batting maestro should retire on a high whenever he decides to walk away from the game, and that it should not come to a stage where he is&nbsp;getting dropped from the team.

Reacting to Afridi's comments about Kohli, Mishra came up with a sharp response on Twitter. The former India spinner took a dig at Afridi, who&nbsp;retired five times in his international career only to return back four times. Urging him to spare Kohli, Mishra said some people retire only once.

"Dear Afridi, some people retire only once so please spare Virat Kohli from all this," he wrote in a tweet.

Speaking during a TV show in Pakistan, Afridi came up with some retirement advice for Kohli, who has a number of years left at the top level and has been going strong across all formats for India. Afridi, who backtracked from his retirement four times, said Kohli should look at quitting the game while he is still at his peak and not wait to be dropped from the team.

"The way Virat has played, the start that he had to his career, he had overcome struggles and work hard before he made a name for himself. He is a champion and I believe there comes a stage when you are headed towards retirement. At such a stage, the aim should be to go out on a high," Afridi said on Pakistan's Samaa TV.

"It shouldn't reach a stage where you are dropped from the team. Instead, retirement should be announced when you are at your peak. It seldom happens though. Very few players, especially cricketers from the Asian region make that decision, but I feel when Virat does it, he will do in a good way and probably end his career in style much like the way he began his career," he added.

Kohli was under massive pressure to deliver and bounce back to form amid his lean patch ahead of the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022. However, the former Indian skipper rediscovered his form and looked in great touch throughout the tournament as he notched up back-to-back fifties before smashing his much-awaited 71st international century.

Kohli scored his first hundred for India since November 2019 and brought an end to a nearly three-year-long wait for his 71st ton. He ended the tournament with 276 runs at an average of 92 and a strike rate of 147.59 to finish as the highest run-getter for India.

Erling Haaland has been taring up the English Premier League ever since his joining Manchester City from German club Borrusia Dortmund this cummer. However, things could have been very different for the Norwegian striker as he was on the radar of several top Premier League clubs while he was still very young and playing for Molde FK in his country.

A prodigious talent, Haaland had showcased at a very young age that he had all the qualities to become a successful striker. He was doing well for Molde in Norway and was making a name for himself with his goal-scoring exploits when a few top Premier League clubs got a chance to watch him and sign him.

Former Molde scout Jhon Vik revealed top English clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool had seen Haaland play and were presented with an opportunity to get him. However, they ended up passing on the chance, much to the shock of Vik, who always believed Haaland was destined for the top.

Haaland left Molde to join RB Salzburg in 2019 where he further developed before joining Borussia Dortmund. He left Dortmund to join reigning Premier League champions Manchester City this season and has been brilliant for them right from the start.

"Liverpool could have got him. Arsenal could have got him," Vik, who discovered Haaland at Molde, told The Athletic.&nbsp;

"Everyone was there to watch him but these clubs were seeing a No.9 who was tall and broad and, ‘Oh, he’s going to be a target man’. I couldn’t for the life of me see why they had narrowed him down that way," he further added.

Vik believes the clubs who rejected him would now be 'kicking themselves' after watching Haaland develop into one of the best young strikers in the world at present. Haaland has been sensational over the last couple of years and has been shattering records with his goal-scoring exploits.

He recently became the youngest and fastest to score 25 goals in the Champions League after scoring a brace for City in their game against Spanish club Sevilla. Haaland has reached 25 goals in the Champions League at the age of 22 and has also scored ten goals in just six Premier League games already this season.

A prolific goalscorer, Haaland will be looking to continue his red-hot form when Manchester City take on his former club Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League next.

Erling Haaland has been taring up the English Premier League ever since his joining Manchester City from German club Borrusia Dortmund this cummer. However, things could have been very different for the Norwegian striker as he was on the radar of several top Premier League clubs while he was still very young and playing for Molde FK in his country.

Erling Haaland has been taring up the English Premier League ever since his joining Manchester City from German club Borrusia Dortmund this cummer. However, things could have been very different for the Norwegian striker as he was on the radar of several top Premier League clubs while he was still very young and playing for Molde FK in his country. A prodigious talent, Haaland had showcased at a very young age that he had all the qualities to become a successful striker. He was doing well for Molde in Norway and was making a name for himself with his goal-scoring exploits when a few top Premier League clubs got a chance to watch him and sign him. Former Molde scout Jhon Vik revealed top English clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool had seen Haaland play and were presented with an opportunity to get him. However, they ended up passing on the chance, much to the shock of Vik, who always believed Haaland was destined for the top.

He left Dortmund to join reigning Premier League champions Manchester City this season and has been brilliant for them right from the start. "Liverpool could have got him. Arsenal could have got him," Vik, who discovered Haaland at Molde, told The Athletic. "Everyone was there to watch him but these clubs were seeing a No.9 who was tall and broad and, ‘Oh, he’s going to be a target man’. I couldn’t for the life of me see why they had narrowed him down that way," he further added. Vik believes the clubs who rejected him would now be 'kicking themselves' after watching Haaland develop into one of the best young strikers in the world at present. Haaland has been sensational over the last couple of years and has been shattering records with his goal-scoring exploits.

Sanju Samson's snub from India's T20 World Cup 2022 squad has left many disappointed. The fans were hoping the selectors would give a chance to the talented wicket-keeper batter, who has the ability to play big shots and could have been an 'x-factor' for India in the tournament down under.

However, Samson, who has not been a regular feature for India in T20Is over the last few months, was left out as the selectors went with Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant as the two wicket-keeper batters in the team. Samson's name was reportedly not even discussed in the selection meeting and he is not even part of the standby players for the tournament.

His non-selection has, however, left many baffled and fans have slammed the selectors over the lack of chances for the wicket-keeper batter. Former India chief selector MSK Prasad was recently asked for his take on the selectors' call to not pick Samson and he called it the right decision.

Prasad argued there is no one in the 15-man squad who could have been potentially replaced by Samson. He also explained why Samson didn't even make it to the standby list and said if he was in the team management's plans, he would have played in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022.

“The question is, Sanju Samson, in place of who?" Prasad told&nbsp;The Indian Express.

“Deepak Hooda gives you that extra bowling option. He can bat anywhere like Sanju, and Shreyas has done well in the home series against Sri Lanka and then in the West Indies. If the team management wanted to pick Sanju, they would have given him an opportunity in the Asia Cup or the upcoming home series against South Africa and Australia," he added.

Samson has so far played only six T20Is for India this year but has scored an impressive 179 runs at an average of 44.75. The wicket-keeper batter, who made his T20I debut for India in 2015, has been around for a while now but has not quite managed to live up to his full potential.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) batter Robin Uthappa took to Twitter on Wednesday (September 14) to announce his retirement from all forms of Indian cricket. Uthappa was one of the heroes of India's memorable maiden T20 World Cup triumph under former captain MS Dhoni in 2007.

Uthappa, in fact, has chosen to announce his retirement on the 15th anniversary of India's famous win against Pakistan after a bowl-out in the group stage of the 2007 T20 World Cup. It was Dhoni's first game as the captain of the Indian team and Uthappa was one of the players who successfully hit the stumps during the bowl-out to secure a thrilling win for the Men in Blue.

While Uthappa's international career never took off despite him being part of the T20 World Cup-winning team in 2007, he went on to become one of the greats of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Uthappa played for teams like Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Rajasthan Royals and CSK in his IPL career.

He was part of the CSK's title-winning squad in 2021 and was bought back by the four-time champions at the IPL mega auction earlier this year. Uthappa was a regular feature for CSK in their middle-order in IPL 2022 but failed to deliver consistently as he finished the season with 230 runs in 12 matches.

He will not play for CSK in the upcoming 2023 season after announcing his retirement on Wednesday. Uthappa spent two seasons with the MS Dhoni-led side and scored 345 runs in 16 matches for the team, including a crucial knock in the final of IPL 2021 against his former team KKR.

"It has been my greatest honour to represent my country and my state, Karnataka. However, all good things must come to an end, and with a grateful heart, I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket," Uthappa wrote in a tweet announcing his retirement from all forms of Indian cricket.

In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of India on Wednesday paved the way for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah to continue in their respective top posts. The court accepted the Indian cricket board's proposal to amend its constitution and relax the mandatory cooling-off period for&nbsp;an office bearer.

Agreeing to scrap off the three-year cooling period, a bench led by Justice D&nbsp;Y&nbsp;Chandrachud orally agreed that office bearers in the BCCI should be allowed to have a longer tenure. The court ruled that the cooling-off period should come into play only after an office bearer has completed two consecutive terms in either the board or a state association.

The office bearers can now hold a position in a state association and the BCCI for at least 12 years straight. They can complete two consecutive three-year terms at a state association followed by two three-year terms at the BCCI. The cooling-off period will be applicable post that.

The BCCI had sought the amendment of clause six&nbsp;in the board's constitution, which states that an official who has completed a term of three years each at a state cricket association and the BCCI will have to undergo a mandatory three-year cooling-off period before regaining a position in the board.

The amendment was sought in regards to the current tenure of BCCIs' office bearers, including president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah, who would have completed their respective first three-year terms at the BCCI in October this year.

Both Ganguly and Shah were serving in a state cricket association before taking over as BCCI's president and secretary in October 2019 and have completed six years. But they will now be able to continue in their respective roles and have a second term at the BCCI after the Supreme Court's order.

"We are of the considered view that the amendment would not dilute the original objective. We accept the proposed amendment," said the bench led by Justice&nbsp;DY&nbsp;Chandrachud.&nbsp;

The 'cooling-off period' was one of the recommendations made by the Lodha Committee in 2018 for the better functioning of cricket's administrative body in India. However,&nbsp;Justice&nbsp;DY&nbsp;Chandrachud-led bench agreed that a cooling-off period after just one term in office will be 'too stringent'.

“A cooling-off period of three years after just one term of three years in office is really too stringent. People should be allowed to get acquainted… You will have networks, deal with international counterparts,” said Justice&nbsp;Chandrachud while examining BCCI's proposed changes in the constitution.

Veteran wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik has managed to spark an incredible turnaround in his international career this year as he finds himself in India's final 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia next month. It was not too long back when Karthik had taken up commentary but never gave up on his dream of representing India in the T20 World Cup 2022.

Karthik took the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 by storm with his brilliant performances for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) earlier this year before making his stunning comeback for the Indian team after almost three years. Karthik has since cemented his spot in the team as a finisher in T20Is and is set to play a key role at the World Cup next month.

He has made it to India's squad for the World Cup as a specialist finisher after his impressive performances this year and took to Twitter to thank his IPL franchise for the support. Karthik thanked RCB fans and the support staff for helping him in his redemption journey.

Senior India batter Virat Kohli has made a massive jump of 14 places in the latest T20I rankings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday. Kohli has moved to the 15th spot in the T20I rankings for batters after his heroics in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 where he was the highest run-getter for the Indian team.

Kohli had dropped down to the 29th spot in the T20I rankings after enduring a lean patch with the bat. However, he bounced back to form in style during the Asia Cup 2022 where he notched up back-to-back fifties before smashing his 71st international century in style. Kohli finished the tournament as the second-highest run-getter overall behind Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan.

While Rizwan remains the no.1 batter in T20Is, Kohli is now at the 15th spot. The Indian maestro brought an end to a nearly three-year-long wait for his 71st international hundred in India's last Super Four clash against Afghanistan where he slammed a brilliant knock of 122 runs.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who had a disappointing campaign in the Asia Cup, lost his second spot to South Africa's Aiden Markram. In the bowling rankings, Indian pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar moved to the seventh spot from eleventh after finishing as the highest wicket-taker in the Asia Cup 2022 with eleven wickets to his name.

Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanind Hasaranga also was among the big gainers in the latest ICC T20I rankings. He moved three places to the sixth spot in the bowling rankings after his brilliant performances in the Asia Cup where he was the second highest wicket-taker behind Bhuvneshwar with nine wickets at an economy rate of 7.39.

Hasaranga played an instrumental role in helping Sri Lanka win the Asia Cup title after beating Pakistan in the final. While he scalped nine wickets, he also scored 66 runs, including a crucial knock of 21-ball 36 in the final.&nbsp;

In the rankings for all-rounders, Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan regained his top spot after vital contributions to his team in the Asia Cup. Shakib replaced Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi as the no.1 T20I all-rounder after scoring 35 runs and picking up a solitary wicket in two games in the Asia Cup.

Kohli has moved to the 15th spot in the T20I rankings for batters after his heroics in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 where he was the highest run-getter for the Indian team. Kohli had dropped down to the 29th spot in the T20I rankings after enduring a lean patch with the bat. However, he bounced back to form in style during the Asia Cup 2022 where he notched up back-to-back fifties before smashing his 71st international century in style. Kohli finished the tournament as the second-highest run-getter overall behind Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan. While Rizwan remains the no.1 batter in T20Is, Kohli is now at the 15th spot. The Indian maestro brought an end to a nearly three-year-long wait for his 71st international hundred in India's last Super Four clash against Afghanistan where he slammed a brilliant knock of 122 runs.

Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanind Hasaranga also was among the big gainers in the latest ICC T20I rankings. He moved three places to the sixth spot in the bowling rankings after his brilliant performances in the Asia Cup where he was the second highest wicket-taker behind Bhuvneshwar with nine wickets at an economy rate of 7.39.
