<p>Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has slammed the Indian players for opting for rest during national team duty and not considering taking a break while representing their respective franchises during the Indian Premier League (IPL). Gavaskar's comments have come at a time when the Indian team management and the selectors have been facing the ire for constantly resting senior players who are struggling with their form.</p>

<p>There have also been reports that some senior players asked to be rested from the upcoming five-match T20I series against West Indies. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli among others have already been rested for the ODI series against West Indies and it remains to be seen if they will feature in the T20 squad for the tour of the Caribbean.</p>

<p>Gavaskar has questioned players' commitment to playing for their country amid the resting policy. The Indian legend said he is absolutely against players taking a rest from international cricket and questioned why don't the senior Indian players take a break during the IPL instead of resting when playing for the country.</p>

<p>"I am absolutely against players taking rest. You can't rest in IPL, but you want to rest when you play for India? Test cricket takes a toll on your mind and body. But T20s is all about 20 overs of bowling and batting which shouldn't be difficult. If they want to take a rest, they can, but then all the guarantees should be taken away from them. The board needs to draw a line if they want to be professional," Gavaskar said on <em>Sports Tak</em>.</p>

<p>Both Kohli and Rohit have not enjoyed the best of form and have struggled to score runs consistently in the last few months.

You can't rest in IPL but want to rest when you play for India: Sunil Gavaskar slams Team India stars

<p>Kylian Mbappe snubbed Real Madrid earlier this summer to extend his contract at Paris-Saint Germain (PSG) leaving millions of Los Blancos fans around the world disappointed. Mbappe looked certain to join Real Madrid at one stage but his move to the club collapsed towards the end with PSG successfully trying their prized possession on a new contract with a staggering salary.</p>

<p>However, Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez believes Mbappe will still end up playing for the La Liga giants at some point in the future as he still has said a firm no to the club. Sanchez, who scored 208 goals for Real Madrid in 283 appearances for the club between 1985 and 1992, feels Mbappe will surely play for Real Madrid in future.</p>

<p>Mbappe had already made his desire to play for Real Madrid public last year while approaching the final year of his contract at PSG. He was close to joining the La Liga giants this summer after reportedly agreeing personal terms. However, PSG managed to persuade the French striker in staying with a new offer.</p>

<p>Athletes from Russia and Belarus may not be allowed to compete at the Paris 2024 Games over Moscow`s invasion of Ukraine, senior International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Craig Reedie said. The IOC issued guidance to sports governing bodies in February to remove the two countries` athletes from competition. Belarus has been used as a staging ground for Russia`s invasion, which Moscow calls a "special military operation".</p>

<p>"A decision is going to have to be taken on what happens to each of these two countries, and my guess is that the general feeling would be that they should not qualify," former IOC vice-president Reedie told British media.</p>

<p>Australia batter David Warner shared a heartfelt note for Sri Lankan fans on social media post their conclusion of Aussie's tour of the country on Monday (July 11). Australia's tour of Sri Lanka came to an end with the hosts defeating Pat Cummins &amp; Co. by an innings and 39 runs in the 2nd and final Test to draw the two-match series 1-1. It was a tour to remember for Australia considering the circumstances they were playing in in Sri Lanka.</p>

<p>Australia's tour of Sri Lanka kick-started with the visitors clinching the T20I series 2-1 before the hosts bounced back to win the five-match ODI series 3-2. There was quality cricket on display throughout the white-ball leg before the two teams gave their all in the two-match Test series which ended in a 1-1 draw.</p>

<p>While there was intense action on the field during the tour, Australian players found themselves in unforeseen circumstances towards the end of it with anti-government protests happening across Sri Lanka. Amid the Sri Lankans dealing with the worst-ever economic crisis in the country's history, cricket provided some respite.</p>

<p>Sri Lanka is dealing with an acute shortage of essential supplies, power cuts and soaring inflation amid political unrest and the economic crisis in the country. However, fans turned up in huge numbers at the&nbsp;stadiums to watch the matches between Sri Lanka and Australia. There was immense passion on display at the stands during the matches with fans celebrating the game wholeheartedly.</p>

<p>Australian batter Warner took to social media to share a heartfelt post for Sri Lanka and the cricket fans in the country thanking them for their amazing reception despite the difficult circumstances. Warner haled the fans for smiling through the adversities and said he would never forget this trip.</p>

<p>“Thank you Sri Lanka for hosting us here during what is an extremely difficult time. We are so grateful to be able to come here and play the game we love and know you all love supporting. You have opened your arms up to us and we will never forget this trip," Warner wrote in his Instagram post.</p>

<p>"What I love about your amazing country is no matter the circumstances you always have a smile on your face and are always so welcoming. Thank you and I can’t wait to one day visit for a holiday with my family," he added.</p>

Australia batter David Warner shared a heartfelt note for Sri Lankan fans on social media post their conclusion of Aussie's tour of the country on Monday (July 11). Australia's tour of Sri Lanka came to an end with the hosts defeating Pat Cummins & Co. by an innings and 39 runs in the 2nd and final Test to draw the two-match series 1-1. It was a tour to remember for Australia considering the circumstances they were playing in in Sri Lanka. Australia's tour of Sri Lanka kick-started with the visitors clinching the T20I series 2-1 before the hosts bounced back to win the five-match ODI series 3-2. There was quality cricket on display throughout the white-ball leg before the two teams gave their all in the two-match Test series which ended in a 1-1 draw. While there was intense action on the field during the tour, Australian players found themselves in unforeseen circumstances towards the end of it with anti-government protests happening across Sri Lanka. Amid the Sri Lankans dealing with the worst-ever economic crisis in the country's history, cricket provided some respite.

However, fans turned up in huge numbers at the stadiums to watch the matches between Sri Lanka and Australia. There was immense passion on display at the stands during the matches with fans celebrating the game wholeheartedly. Australian batter Warner took to social media to share a heartfelt post for Sri Lanka and the cricket fans in the country thanking them for their amazing reception despite the difficult circumstances. Warner haled the fans for smiling through the adversities and said he would never forget this trip. “Thank you Sri Lanka for hosting us here during what is an extremely difficult time. We are so grateful to be able to come here and play the game we love and know you all love supporting. You have opened your arms up to us and we will never forget this trip," Warner wrote in his Instagram post. "What I love about your amazing country is no matter the circumstances you always have a smile on your face and are always so welcoming. Thank you and I can’t wait to one day visit for a holiday with my family," he added.

<p>Manchester United have already kicked off their preparations for the new season under new manager Erik Ten Hag as the Premier League giants aim to bounce back after a disastrous campaign last season. United failed to finish in the top four in the Premier League and were also knocked out from the Champions League from the Last 16 in what was yet another trophyless year for the club.</p>

<p>United have failed to win a trophy in the last five years with their last triumph coming under Jose Mourinho in the Europa League in 2017. Despite United signing the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane to strengthen their squad, they failed to impress in the Premier League leading to the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager.</p>

<p>The club's&nbsp;woes both on and off the pitch were left exposed under the tenure of the interim manager Ralf Rangnick with reports emerging of unrest in the dressing room. Ronaldo, who returned to the club last summer, and was one of their best players, was reportedly involved in a rift with skipper&nbsp;Harry Maguire over his position as captain of the team.</p>

<p>Ten Hag said Maguire was an established captain and he doesn't doubt the issue when asked who will be leading the club next season. Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has backed the manager on his decision and said Maguire is a leader, who is an important player for United.</p>

<p>"I think Harry Maguire is very important to us. Harry didn't particularly have his best season (last season) for us but two years before that he was excellent. I think he is a leader and the type of person that we need in the dressing room at the club," the former Manchester United captain told WION in an exclusive interaction in&nbsp;Bangkok ahead of the club's pre-season clash against arch-rivals Liverpool.</p>

<p>Four-time Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel slammed the racist and homophobic behaviour of fans during the Australian Grand Prix last week. There were reports that a group of fans made racist, sexist and homophobic comments against others during the race.

<p>Vettel said there should be zero tolerance when it comes to racism and stated that the unruly fans, who physically and verbally abused others in the stands should be ashamed of themselves. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc had pipped Max Verstappen to win the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday.</p>

<p>India will be looking to continue their dominant run in white-ball cricket under captain Rohit Sharma when they lock horns with England in the 1st ODI of the three-match series at the Kennington Oval in London on Tuesday (July 12). After losing the one-off 5th Test in Edgbaston by 7 wickets, India bounced back to win the three-match T20I series 2-1 and will be hoping to get off to a winning start in ODIs.</p>

<p>Shikhar Dhawan will return to the playing XI as he remains a vital cog in the Indian batting line-up as far as ODIs are concerned. In the absence of KL Rahul, Dhawan will open the batting with skipper Rohit Sharma and will be hoping to get the Men in Blue off to a good start.</p>

<p>All eyes will be on struggling Virat Kohli, who has failed to fire in his last few outings for India and is under immense pressure to regain his lost form. Kohli might not feature in the playing XI on Tuesday amid reports that he suffered a groin injury during practice ahead of the first ODI.</p>

<p>However, if he manages to make the cut, Kohli will be aiming to shut down his critics and notch up a big knock against the hosts. He is likely to continue batting at number three amid backing from the captain and the team management. Surykaumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya will constitute India's middle order.</p>

<p>While Pant was fabulous in the one-off Test against England, he couldn't quite continue his red-hot form in the T20Is against England. The swashbuckling left-hander will be hoping to find some consistency in the ODI series and contribute generously in the middle order.</p>

<p>Ravindra Jadeja is likely to be the second all-rounder in the side along with Pandya and will be donning the finishers' role in the lower-middle order. His contributions with the ball will be vital for the team in the absence of R Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav.</p>

Virat Kohli to miss out? Rohit Sharma-led India's predicted playing XI for 1st ODI against England

<p>Sri Lankans found some joy amid agony as the Dimuth Karunaratne-led team defeated Australia in the 2nd Test in Galle on Monday to draw the two-match Test series 1-1. Amid massive anti-government protests in the country and an acute shortage of resources due to the economic crisis, the Sri Lankan cricket team produced an excellent performance with the bat and ball to beat Australia by an innings and 39 runs in the second Test.</p>

<p>Despite the brilliant performance from the hosts, the second Test was overshadowed by protests across the nation. Protestors had flooded Sri Lankan president&nbsp;Gotabaya Rajapaksa's residence in Colombo as he was spotted feeling the country. The anti-government protests were staged amidst Sri Lanka dealing with one of its worst-ever economic crises.</p>

<p>Following the conclusion of the second Test in Galle, Australian Test captain Pat Cummins spoke about the protests in Sri Lanka and sympathised with the people of the country, who are facing a tough time. Cummins revealed he and some other players spoke to some of the staff at their hotel and drivers who told them how they have been surviving by eating on alternate days to ensure they can feed their kids.</p>

<p>“The protest yesterday, you couldn’t escape it. We’ve got list of messages from back home saying, ‘how is it? Hope you’re okay.’ We’ve felt totally fine,” Cummins said in a video posted by Cricket Australia.</p>

<p>“You could just hear kind of when it changed from a protest to a party. And chatting to some of the staff around the hotel and a couple of drivers. They are doing it really tough. They are having one day eating, one day off eating to try and feed their kids. It’s really tough,” he added.</p>

Cummins revealed he and some other players spoke to some of the staff at their hotel and drivers who told them how they have been surviving by eating on alternate days to ensure they can feed their kids.

We’ve got list of messages from back home saying, ‘how is it? Hope you’re okay.’ We’ve felt totally fine,” Cummins said in a video posted by Cricket Australia. “You could just hear kind of when it changed from a protest to a party. And chatting to some of the staff around the hotel and a couple of drivers. They are doing it really tough. They are having one day eating, one day off eating to try and feed their kids. It’s really tough,” he added.

'No mean feat': Sachin Tendulkar hails Novak Djokovic after his 4th straight Wimbledon triumph

<p>Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav took the England bowlers to the cleaners in the third T20I between the two sides at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Sunday as he slammed a sensational knock of 117 runs off just 55 deliveries. Yadav notched up his maiden century for India in T20Is and almost pulled off a miraculous run-chase for the Men in Blue. His stellar knock went in vain as India ended up losing the game by 17 runs.</p>

<p>Asked to bowl first, Indian bowlers were smashed to all parts of the ground by English batters as the hosts got off to a flying start. Dawid Malan played a brilliant knock of 39-ball 77 while big-hitter Liam Livingstone scored a quickfire 49 to propel England to a huge total of 215 runs in 20 overs.</p>

<p>In reply, India were left reeling on 31/3 after losing their top three - Rohit Sharma (11), Rishabh Pant (1) and Virat Kohli (11) cheaply before Yadav took control of the innings. He scored 117 runs off just 55 balls laced with 14 fours and 6 sixes to take India closer to victory but failed to find support from the other end.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, it was a sensational knock from the middle-order batter, who displayed his 360-degree hitting prowess and became only the fifth Indian batter after Suresh Raina, Rohit, KL Rahul, and Deepak Hooda to score a century in T20Is for India. After Yadav's&nbsp;stunning ton, Rohit's 10-year-old tweet on him went viral on social media.</p>

<p>Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma responded to Virat Kohli's critics amid his ongoing lean patch for the Men in Blue. Kohli's struggles with the willow continued in the third and final T20I against England in Nottingham as he was once again sent packing cheaply on just 11 runs in India's 17-run defeat against the hosts. Rohit was asked about Kohli's concerning form post the team's loss against England on Sunday.</p>

<p>Kohli, who came out to bat at his usual number 3 spot in the 216-run chase, looked in fine touch as he slammed a four and a six off David Willey before getting caught on the next delivery. Kohli was caught by Jason Roy trying to get another boundary in the third over from Willey.</p>

<p>Kohli has been enduring a rough patch with the bat in international cricket for quite some time now and has not scored a century for India since Noveber 2019. His recent failures have also led to former cricketers and experts questioning his spot in India's T20I team ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia later this year.</p>

<p>However, despite the pressure mounting on Kohli, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has backed the batting maestro and defended him from his critics. Speaking at the post-match presser after India's 2-1 series win against England, Rohit said form can go up and down but a player's quality remains. The Hitman asserted that the Indian team management is aware of Kohli's quality as a batter and will continue to back him.</p>

<p>“Form upar neeche hota hai, player (Virat Kohli) ka quality kabhi kharab nahi hota hai. (There will always be ups and downs in the cricketer’s form but players’ quality will never fade away.) We should always keep this in mind that there is a quality in certain players and we as a team back that quality,” Rohit told reporters when asked about Kohli's poor form.</p>

<p>Recently, former India captain Kapil Dev had questioned Kohli's spot in India's T20I team following his dreadful run for the Men in Blue.

Extending his full support to Kohli, the Hitman assured he will continue to back the 33-year-old, who is regarded as one of the greatest batters of the generation.</p>

<p>“We don’t listen much to the outside noise. I don’t know who these experts are. I don’t understand why they are called experts. They are watching the game from outside, they don’t know what is going on inside in the dressing room,” said Rohit.</p>

<p>Midfielder Geyoro put Les Bleues ahead from close range in the ninth minute and Marie-Antoinette Katoto made it 2-0 three minutes later after goalkeeper Laura Giuliani palmed it straight to her. The goal was Paris St Germain forward Katoto`s 26th in 31 international appearances and she could have had another when she hit the post in the 16th as a confident France dominated possession on their way to topping the group.</p>

<p>France, who went through their qualifying group without conceding a goal but have yet to win a major women`s tournament, were 3-0 up in the 38th when Delphine Cascarino lashed in a powerful strike.</p>
