Cricket Australia (CA) on Sunday said it has signed a seven-year deal with Disney Star to broadcast the country’s cricket matches in India, the sport’s largest market in the world. As part of the deal, which commences in 2023-24, Disney Star will televise all internationals matches as well as the KFC Big Bash League and Weber Women’s Big Bash League in India.

Disney Star will take over from Sony, who have held the Australian rights since the 2017-18 season. According to CA, the channel’s reach will provide “enormous exposure” for Australian cricket and for the board’s commercial partners in India.

“We are delighted to announce this new association with Disney Star from season 2023-24 onwards. Disney Star is synonymous with the game in India and we look forward to working with them to showcase the outstanding cricket played in Australia every summer,” said CA CEO Nick Hockley.

“The magnitude of this association is testament to the enduring rivalry and respect that exists between Australian and Indian teams, the excitement and popularity of WBBL and BBL, and the high regard of Australian cricket in India and global markets more broadly.”

“There was significant interest in our rights and we are very grateful to our current rights holder Sony for their partnership which will continue throughout this season,” he added.

Cricket Australia inks seven-year deal with Disney Star to broadcast matches in India

India will be looking to make it two wins in a row and clinch the ongoing three-match ODI series against West Indies when they lock horns with the hosts in the 2nd ODI at the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad. India defeated West Indies by 3 runs in a thrilling encounter to win the series-opener and go 1-0 up in the series.

India have a chance to clinch the three-match series with an unassailable 2-0 lead when they take on West Indies in the 2nd ODI on Sunday. The Men in Blue are also on the verge of creating a world record if they can manage to beat West Indies. India are currently on a winning streak of 11 series against West Indies and this will be their 12th successive ODI series victory against the hosts.

If India manage to beat West Indies and clinch the ODI series it will become an ODI world record as no team has previously managed to win 11 back-to-back bilateral ODI series against a single team. India are currently on level terms with Pakistan, who have also won 11 straight ODI series against Zimbabwe.

The first ODI at the Queen's Park Oval was a nail-biter where batters dominated the proceedings. Batting first, India got off to a brilliant start as stand-in skipper Shikhar Dhawan (97) combined with his opening partner Shubman Gill (64) to post a 119-run stand for the first wicket.

After the half-centuries from the two openers, Shreyas Iyer too notched up a fifty to help India post 308 runs on the board. West Indies came close to chasing down the target with the help of fifties from Kyle Mayers (75) and Brandon King (54) but Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj successfully defended 15 runs in the last over to secure a thrilling win for India.

India have not lost an ODI series against West Indies since 2007 and will be hopeful of keeping their winning streak intact this year as well. India are unlikely to make any changes to their playing XI for the second ODI but will be hopeful of a better show from the bowlers in the absence of senior pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami.

India aim for world record with 12th consecutive ODI series win against West Indies

Atletico Madrid are reportedly keen on signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United this summer. After expressing his desire to leave United for a team competing in the Champions League, Ronaldo has been struggling to find a new club despite his agent Jorge Mendes making continuous efforts to land the Portuguese forward a deal from one of the top clubs in Europe.

Ronaldo had rejoined United from Juventus last season and went on to score 18 goals in the Premier League to finish as the top-scorer for the club in the league. However, United endured a disappointing season as they finished sixth in the Premier League and failed to secure a spot in the Champions League next season.

While Ronaldo was expected to stay with the Red Devils and complete his current two-year deal with the club, the Portuguese superstar made it clear to the club's hierarchy that he wants to compete for trophies and play in the Champions League in the final few years of his career.

However, no top European club has so far shown any concrete interest in the 37-year-old with his transfer saga intensifying with each passing day. Atletico Madrid have now shockingly emerged as one of the strongest contenders to sign Ronaldo from United.

As per a report in Times.UK, Atletico Madrid have put Antoine Griezmann on the transfer market in a bid to facilitate a move for Ronaldo. Griezmann had returned to Atletico from Barcelona last year on a loan deal with a compulsory buy clause of 40 million euros.

The report further adds that Ronaldo has also been impressed by Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone's eagerness to work with him. While it remains to be seen if Atletico will make a formal bid to sign Ronaldo, United have maintained the Portuguese star is not for sale this summer.

United's new manager Erik Ten Hag has twice assured that Ronaldo remains in his plans for the upcoming season and that the 37-year-old will not be sold by the club this summer. However, Ronaldo is yet to turn up for United's ongoing pre-season tour and is yet to break his silence on his future.

Atletico Madrid willing to part ways with Antoine Griezmann for mega Cristiano Ronaldo move - Report

Gabriel Jesus continued his impressive pre-season form with another goal as Arsenal thrashed Chelsea 4-0 in a friendly in Florida on Saturday.

Jesus, who joined Arsenal from Manchester City earlier this month, took his tally to four goals in three games for his new club in a clinical win for the Gunners in front of 63,811 fans at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium.&nbsp;

It was another encouraging performance for Mikel Arteta’s side, who took control of the game with two first-half goals after dominating the opening 45 minutes.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could not hide his anger during a lacklustre first-half display from his team, who were repeatedly exposed by Arsenal’s nimble counter-attacking.

Chelsea had one promising attack after five minutes when new signing Raheem Sterling played Timo Werner into space, but French defender William Saliba snuffed out the danger with a solid covering tackle.

Arsenal should have opened the scoring moments later, when Gabriel Martinelli burst clear on the counter.&nbsp; The Brazilian passed to Bukayo Saka but the English international’s shot was saved by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

The Arsenal pressure finally told in the 15th minute with a goal that came after Chelsea’s Nathaniel Chalobah surrendered possession with a misplaced pass that went straight to Granit Xhaka.

The Swiss international played a superb first time ball into Jesus who coolly chipped over the advancing Mendy to make it 1-0. Martin Odegaard made it 2-0 to the Gunners in the 36th minute with another well-worked move.

Martinelli’s pass found the Norwegian playmaker in space inside the Chelsea area, and the attacking midfielder turned smoothly and tucked a low finish past Mendy.

Chelsea’s best chance of a lacklustre half came in stoppage time when Mason Mount curled a shot from the edge of the area which beat Aaron Ramsdale but crashed back off a post.

Arsenal extended their lead midway through the second half when Saka buried a rebound from close range after Mendy parried Xhaka’s long-range strike.

Arsenal continued to create chances but had to wait until injury time for their fourth goal when Albert Sambi Lokonga headed past Mendy after a superb cross from the right by Portuguese international Cedric.

Gabriel Jesus on target again as Arsenal thrash Chelsea 4-0 in pre-season clash

American Sydney McLaughlin produced one of the greatest track performances of all time on Friday by shattering her own 400 metres hurdles world record to win World Championships gold. The Olympic champion charged home in 50.68 seconds, slashing 0.73 off her previous mark of 51.41 set at the same springy Hayward Field last month and becoming the first woman to run under 51 seconds in the event.

McLaughlin finished well clear of the Netherlands` Femke Bol (52.27) and U.S. compatriot Dalilah Muhammad (53.13). "We knew warming up that it was going to be one of those days," McLaughlin said after winning her first individual World Championships title.

"I knew coming home that if I just kept my cadence and stayed on stride pattern, we could do it and it happened." 
It was the sixth time in three years that the world record has been broken, after Russian Yulia Pechonkina`s mark had stood for 16 years.

"The level in the 400m hurdles is certainly improving," said McLaughlin. "We have a full group of girls that are willing to push our bodies to the next level and we are seeing times drop. It`s really an exciting time to be in the event."

McLaughlin charged out of the blocks and by the 100 metres mark already had the lead over Muhammad, who had held the world record as recently as June 2021. McLaughlin built a comfortable gap before the back turn and finished several metres clear of Bol and Muhammad, the home crowd in Eugene, Oregon, erupting as the 22-year-old powered to the line.

Bol, who took bronze in Tokyo, said McLaughlin`s dominance made her question her own performance. 
"She was so far in front at the end so I was always doubting if I really had a good race because it felt very good. And then I saw the sign and I was like: Wow," she said.

"This is just amazing and it means a lot that she also broke the 51s barrier."

Much of the hype heading into the final had focused on McLaughlin’s rivalry with 2019 champion Muhammad but the 32-year-old was left disappointed after coming back from a mild hamstring injury earlier this year.

"I’m having mixed emotions to be honest," she told reporters. "I’m proud of the way we had this moment. I definitely want to keep this season going. I knew that at this race I wasn’t quite at my best but I was hoping for the best."

It was the first world record broken at this year’s World Championships, the first on U.S. soil, and a much-needed boost for the American women, who have excelled in the field events but had been shut out on the track. 
McLaughlin’s accomplishment sent shockwaves through the athletics world.

"She’s just special," Allyson Felix, the most decorated woman in track, wrote on Twitter. "In a class of her own." 
McLaughlin said she enjoyed pushing herself to new highs.

"It’s very special to push boundaries for myself, focusing on the 10 hurdles and to be able to improve upon that, what else could I ask for?" she said.

Scotland Cricket has been found to be 'institutionally racist' by an independent review. The review was conducted following Scotland cricketer Majid Haq's allegations of racism and discrimination last year. The former spinner had spoken about the unfair treatment and discrimination he had to face in his cricketing career forcing SportScotland to conduct an investigation into the matter.

Haq, who is Scotland's leading wicket-taker of all time, had claimed he suffered abuse during his playing days alleging that as a minority cricketer he had to perform twice as well as a white cricketer to get similar opportunities. Haq's claims were supported by his former teammate&nbsp;Qasim Sheikh.

SportScotland had ordered an investigation last year following Haq's revelations about the prevalent racism in Scottish cricket. An organisation named&nbsp;Plan4Sport was appointed to conduct an independent review of&nbsp;the matter and their investigation has found Scotland cricket to be&nbsp;'institutionally racist'.

"The fundamental claim at the start of this was about institutional racism at the heart of cricket. This review concludes that it's very much the case," a source was quoted as saying by Sky News.

As per a report in the BBC, an interim report on the investigation was released by Plan4 Sport in April this year where the organisation revealed it spoke to over 200 people, who agreed to provide evidence on racism in Scotland cricket. Some referrals and allegations were also reported to the Scotland Police for appropriate action.

The final reports and findings of the investigation conducted by Plan4Sport are expected to be made public on Monday (July 25). While Scotland Cricket has refused to make any comments on the alleged findings of the review, the board has offered apologies to those affected by racism in Scotland cricket.

"Cricket should be a welcoming place for everyone and not somewhere that racism or any form of discrimination takes place. The Cricket Scotland Board is truly sorry to everyone who has experienced racism in cricket in Scotland," a spokesperson of Cricket Scotland was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"We would like to sincerely thank everyone who has been involved in contributing to the review, however the board is not in a position to comment on the independent review's report as we will not see it until it is published publicly on Monday," he added.

Majid Haq, ho played for Scotland U-13, U-15 and U-19 sides before making his international debut for the national side in June 2004, made a total of 75 appereances for the Scotland senior team in ODIs and T20Is. He picked up 60 wickets for Scotland in 54 ODI matches and 28 wickets in 21 T20Is. He played his final game for Scotland in March 2015.

India are clubbed in Group A alongside arch-rivals Pakistan, Australia and Barbados. They open their campaign against Australia on July 29.

"Whenever we play against them (teams like Australia), they have always given us tough competition. And this time also, we are looking very positive. Every game will be crucial for us and we will try to give 100 per cent." According to Harmanpreet, it is important to perform well in big events.

"Yes, as a cricketer, we always want that we want to play more cricket and this year we are getting to participate in a multi-sport event. So, when you go for a big-event it is important to perform well, the more we get such tournaments, it is good for women's cricket."

Harmanpreet said she will think about what approach the team will take after seeing the conditions. The team departs on Sunday.

"Look, you are speaking about targets (totals), once we reach England, then only we can see. Right now we don't have any idea about the wickets. If you talk about our team, we always love to play positive cricket and that is what we have been doing for a long -time and the approach will be the same,? she added.

Important to have batters who can bowl

"It is very important, when you have so many (bowling) options, the main bowlers do not feel pressure. And if you have more options, than you take off pressure from the bowlers," she added.

Have grown up watching events like these: Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Commonwealth Games debut

Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has made a bold claim regarding Hardik Pandya's future in ODI cricket after England all-rounder Ben Stokes shockingly retired from the fifty-over format earlier this week. Stokes announced his retirement from ODIs stating that he feels it is 'unsustainable' for him to continue playing in all three formats of the game.

Stokes' shock retirement from ODI has sparked a massive debate over the extreme workload on cricketers who play all three formats of the game these days. It has put the spotlight on the packed schedule of cricketers and how the continuous action is taking a toll on their physical and mental health.

Amid the debate over players' packed schedules, Shastri had suggested players will soon start selecting formats they want to play and walk away from the ones they don't want to feature in. Citing the example of India's star all-rounder Pandya, Shastri said he is very clear in his mind he wants to play only T20 cricket going forward.

Pandya used to be a vital cog in the Indian squad across formats but is currently focused on only playing limited-overs cricket for Team India ever since recovering from his back injury. Shastri believes Pandya might decide to quit ODIs and walk away from the fifty-over format after hanging around till next year's ODI World Cup.

"50-over format might be pushed back but it can still survive if you focus just on the World Cup. From the ICC's point of view, paramount importance should be given to World Cups, whether it is T20 World Cup or 50-over World Cup, the bucks have to increase. Test cricket will always remain because of the importance it brings to the game. You have players already choosing what formats they want to play. Take a Hardik Pandya. He wants to play T20 cricket and he is very clear in his mind that 'I do not want to play anything else," Shastri said on Sky Sports.

"He will play the 50-over cricket because there is a World Cup in India next year. After that, you might see him going from that as well. You will see a similar thing happening with other players, they will start choosing formats, they have every right to," added the former India head coach.

Pandya, who made his debut for Team India in 2016, has since gone on to become one of the finest all-rounders in world cricket. He has so far played 11 Tests, 66 ODIs and 63 T20Is for India, amassing 532, 1386 and 770 runs in the three formats respectively. He has also scalped a total of 148 wickets across all three formats in international cricket.

Bayern Munich are on the lookout for a striker after the departure of Robert Lewandowski, who joined FC Barcelona in the ongoing summer transfer window. Lewandowski enjoyed a stunning stint at Bayern and helped the reigning Bundesliga champions continue their domination in the German top flight.&nbsp; The Polish striker was the club's one of the best players over the last few seasons but was allowed to leave after expressing his desire for a move.

Though Bayern have already roped in Senegalese forward Sadio Mane from Liverpool, who will bolster their attack next season, they still have space for an out-and-out striker. Bayer were heavily linked with a move for Cristiano Ronaldo this summer but the club distanced itself from the speculations.

England and Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is another forward&nbsp;who has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich. Kane, who was close to leaving Tottenham Hotspur last season, extended his stay with the Premier League club after being priced out of a move. However, he can be an option for Bayern.

Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann recently addressed the speculations regarding Kane and said he is a brilliant but very expensive player.&nbsp;

“Very expensive, that’s the problem. But a brilliant player, one of the best forwards, and perhaps one of two or three centre forwards who really can play as a centre forward. The last couple of years he did not play centre forward. Most of the time, he dropped a little bit at No.10. He is good as a No.10 as well," Nagelsmann said in a press conference when asked about the prospect of signing Kane, as quoted by Goal.com.

However, Nagelsmann hinted he and the club are open to signing&nbsp;the England striker, who is one of the best goalscorers in the world at present. The Bayern manager said Kane will score a lot of goals for the club if he was to join the Bundesliga giants.

"He is very strong, has a strong body and it’s possible that he would score a lot of goals in the Bundesliga, but it will be tough, I think, for Bayern Munich. We will see what will happen in the future," said the Bayern manager.

Earlier, Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn was also asked about a potential move for Kane. The Bayern CEO said the club was not interested in signing Kane this summer but didn't rule out a 'dream move' for him in the future.&nbsp;

“He's under contract with Tottenham. Sure, an absolute top striker, but that's all a dream of the future. Now we have to look at getting the squad together for the current season. Let's see what else happens," Kahn had said.

Jose Mourinho is quietly building something special at AS Romas as he aims to conquer Serie A. One of the most successful football managers of all time, Mourinho has already become quite popular in Roma after he guided the club to European success last season. AS Roma won the Europa Conference League under the Portuguese to lift their first major European trophy.

Mourinho is currently busy preparing his players for the upcoming season as AS Roma are enjoying their pre-season camp. The Roma head coach was in for a surprise ahead of a training session on Friday as a fan proposed to his girlfriend in front of Mourinho right outside the team's training camp.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, a couple can be seen waiting for Mourinho to meet him at AS Roma's training venue. The couple, who were wearing AS Roma scarfs around their necks, shook hands with Mourinho and posed for pictures with him before the man decided to request the manager for a few minutes of his time.

Indian players might finally get a chance to play in overseas T20 leagues as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly open to the idea of letting players take part in tournaments abroad. Over the years, BCCI has maintained a strict policy of not allowing active Indian players to take part in overseas leagues. However, their firm stance is expected to change.

While BCCI is now open to the idea, the Indian cricket board will take the final decision on the matter in its upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM).&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Few IPL teams with a presence in leagues abroad have requested the BCCI to allow Indian players. But we have to discuss this at the AGM before coming to any conclusion. It is a contentious issue as IPL is successful because of the exclusivity it provides. Definitely, we won’t lose that. As for Indian players playing abroad, it may happen due to growing number of franchise leagues," a senior BCCI official was quoted as saying by&nbsp;InsideSport.

While there is pressure on the BCCI from IPL teams, the board is aware of the exclusivity popular Indian cricketers provide to the IPL. As no active Indian cricketers are allowed to take part in overseas leagues, fans only get to witness them in action during the IPL season.&nbsp;

As per the report, even if BCCI allows Indian players to play in overseas leagues, the board is certain to keep the popular and high-profile names exclusive for the IPL. The BCCI official said the board will provide relaxation to those players who aren't popular or are in the reckoning for Team India.

"It’s good to see the growing footprints of IPL all over the world. But we should not forget that it is because of the Indian players that the IPL is so popular. It is the only league where fans can watch them play. If they start playing in other leagues, it will only increase the viewers’ fatigue. It won’t be exclusive anymore. But there is room for relaxation when it comes to not so popular players or cricketers who are not in the reckoning," the BCCI official added.

Indian players might finally get a chance to play in overseas T20 leagues as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly open to the idea of letting players take part in tournaments abroad.

Indian players might finally get a chance to play in overseas T20 leagues as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly open to the idea of letting players take part in tournaments abroad. Over the years, BCCI has maintained a strict policy of not allowing active Indian players to take part in overseas leagues. However, their firm stance is expected to change. As per a report in Insidesport, several IPL teams have urged the BCCI to consider the idea of letting Indian players ply their trade in overseas leagues amid IPL's increasing influence in other countries.
