Manchester United has issued a statement after star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo gave an explosive interview, saying he feels "betrayed" by the club for trying to force him out of the team. In his interview, the Portuguese star also said that he has "no respect" for Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag because he "doesn`t show respect for me". 
 
In a short statement, the club said, "Manchester United notes the media coverage regarding an interview by Cristiano Ronaldo. The club will consider its response after the full facts have been established. "Our focus remains on preparing for the second half of the season and continuing the momentum, belief and togetherness being built among the players, manager, staff, and fans."

Ronaldo, who re-joined United in August 2021 and finished as their top scorer in all competitions last season with 24 goals, said, "I don`t have respect for him because he doesn`t show respect for me. If you don`t have respect for me, I`m never gonna have respect for you." Ronaldo has launched an explosive attack on Manchester United and coach Erik ten Hag in an interview with Piers Morgan for their treatment of him since he returned at the start of last season. 
 
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, his former teammate Wayne Rooney and Ralf Rangnick were all targets of Ronaldo`s anger during the 90-minute interview, which he has given just before the Portuguese star flies out to Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

India's run in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition remains a big talking point. After the end of the tournament in Australia, with England beating Pakistan in the final, former cricketers and experts of the game continue to dwell on Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue's campaign Down Under.&nbsp;

India beat Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, Netherlands but lost to South Africa (in a low-scoring thriller) and England in a one-sided semi-final contest in Adelaide. Atul Wassan, India's ex-pacer, has now joined the bandwagon and opined on Rohit's captaincy as well as on calls taken by the Indian team management. Further, he opined that India will gain nothing from retaining Rohit as the T20I captain.&nbsp;

"We could see two level of cricketers. At least something should have happened. You can't even find a fault. I feel that you can't blame the captaincy. Afterall, it was the team management that was taking all decisions. Rohit Sharma did not take a single call. He only decided where to hide on the field," former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan told ABP News.

On Rohit's future as captain in the shortest format, with the next T20 WC in 2024, Wassan said, ""Yes, I feel so (that Rohit's time as India's T20 captain is over). You always plan between two World Cups and I don't think Indian cricket will gain anything by retaining him as captain. We won't get any return for such an investment. You have two options in front of you - Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant. I am still besides myself, can't believe what happened. I felt as if India batted in Adelaide and England in Sharjah."

Amid criticism on Rohit, calls for making Hardik Pandya the new T20I captain is growing with each passing day. Hardik will lead a second-stringed Indian T20I team in the forthcoming New Zealand tour.

LIV&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;announced on Sunday a multi-year commitment to bring league events to Australia starting next April at The Grange&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;Club in Adelaide. The April 21-23 tournament at The Grange will be one of 14 events on LIV&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;League's 2023 schedule and will give fans a chance to see reigning British Open champion Cameron Smith and fellow Australians Marc Leishman and Matt Jones in action.

"This is an opportunity to grow the game with generations of Australians while connecting them with star players like Cameron Smith," LIV&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;CEO Greg Norman said in a news release. "There is massive potential for Australia to play a bigger role in this great sport, and I couldn't be more excited to showcase Adelaide for our league's debut year."

The Grange was the site of former world number one Norman's first professional victory in 1976 and, among other events, hosted the Women's Australian Open in 2019 and 2016. Consistent with the 2022 LIV&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;Invitational Series, which launched in June, LIV&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;League will feature simultaneous team and individual play, with&nbsp;golfers competing for an unprecedented $405 million in prize purses. The full 2023 league schedule, to be released in coming weeks, will run from February to September and will not compete with&nbsp;golf's four majors, international team events or heritage events.

The Saudi Arabia-backed LIV&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;series has lured players with the promise of guaranteed, big-money paydays and a reduced schedule, while the U.S.-based PGA Tour has suspended members who opted to join the rival circuit. Among the more high-profile players to join LIV are World&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;Hall of Fame member Phil Mickelson, twice major champion Dustin Johnson and 2020 U.S. Open winner Bryson DeChambeau.

Critics say LIV&nbsp;Golf, which is bankrolled by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, amounts to blatant "sportswashing" by a nation trying to improve its reputation tarnished by a history of human rights abuses.

Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu has withdrawn from the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals as she is yet to fully recover from a stress fracture on her left ankle.&nbsp;The 2018 edition champion Sindhu had sustained the injury on way to her title-winning run at the Commonwealth Games in August. The BWF World Tour Finals is scheduled to be held in Guangzhou, China from December 14.

"Her doctor has advised her to take some more time so that she recovers completely ahead of the new season. She has discussed about the pros and cons but with so much restrictions in Guangzhou and also keeping new season in mind, she has taken this decision," Sindhu's father PV Ramana told PTI. "She has already started her training a couple of weeks back and by January she will be fully fit. So in view of all these reasons, she sent a mail to BAI informing about her decision.

"She will need to be at her best for next year which will have Asian Games and also the 2024 Paris Olympics qualification, playing about 22 tournaments will be tough, so she is taking extra care." Sindhu's withdrawal means HS Prannoy remains the only representative from India at the prestigious tournament.

Lakshya Sen had also withdrawn from the Australia event due to a throat infection. COVID-19 cases have been rising in Guangzhou, forcing authorities to go for stricter restrictions.

Talks regarding Ronaldo's future at Manchester United were doing the rounds at regular intervals after many reports cited that the superstar striker isn't happy at the Old Trafford club. While he didn't find any takers in the summer transfer window, the Portuguese captain continued at the club where he has struggled to find a place in the starting XI.&nbsp;

A lot has also been written about Ronaldo's relationship with manager Erik Ten Hag. Nonetheless, it has become a major talking point once again following the footballer's recent bare it all interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan. Although only a teaser of the interview is out, Ronaldo's remarks on Erik and how the club have 'betrayed' him have gone viral in no time.&nbsp;

"I don't have respect for him [Ten Hag] because he doesn't show respect for me. If you don't have respect for me, I'm never gonna have respect for you," said Ronaldo on the Piers Morgan uncensored show. "Not only the manager, but the other two or three guys who are around the club [at the senior executive level]. I felt betrayed. I don't care, people should listen to the truth. Yes, I felt betrayed. I feel that some people didn't want me here, not only this year but last season too," the superstar further asserted.

Is Cristiano Ronaldo in big trouble?

As per&nbsp;a report in the Metro, Man United is looking to give Ronaldo a £1m (close to INR&nbsp;9 crore) fine following his explosive interview with Morgan. The 20-time English champions are yet to come out with an official statement but the reports further suggest that his words will be viewed closely by those inside the club before a response is shared.

If the reports turn out to be true, this will be the second disciplinary action against Ronaldo. Earlier, he was left out of the Man United squad for the club's away face-off versus Chelsea following his refusal to come out as a substitute during Red Devils' 2-0&nbsp;victory over Tottenham Hotspur. He had even left the stadium before the match concluded, drawing severe criticism.&nbsp;

At present, Man United is in the fifth position in the EPL standings, with eight wins from 14 encounters. On Sunday (November 13), the Red Devils defeated Fulham 2-1 courtesy of goals from Christian Eriksen and&nbsp;Alejandro Garnacho.&nbsp;

Is Cristiano Ronaldo in big trouble? Man United to fine striker after explosive comments: Reports

Pakistan lost the T20 World Cup 2022 final to England at the MCG, Melbourne on November 13 (Sunday). After being asked to bat first, the Babar Azam-led Men in Green only managed a below-par 137 for 8 and despite a spirited performance with the bat, the 2009 winners failed to prevent an England win as the Jos Buttler-led Three Lions won by five wickets and an over to spare.&nbsp;

After the defeat, Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar shared a post on Twitter, with a heartbroken emoticon. Indian pacer Md Shami was quick to respond and made heads turn with his reply. Shami wrote, "Sorry brother, it's call karma." To this, Akhtar also didn't hold back and&nbsp;posted an image which contained a tweet of renowned cricket presenter Harsha Bhogle. The caption read, "Credit to Pakistan. Few teams would have defended 137 the way they did. Best bowling team."

Since then, the Twitter interaction between Shami and Akhtar has become a major talking point. Former Pakistan pacer and captain Wasim Akram has now joined in and criticised Shami for his response.&nbsp;

It is to be noted that Indian and Pakistani fans were at loggerheads throughout the just-concluded T20 World Cup in Australia. After India's humiliating ten-wicket defeat at the hands of eventual winners England in the semi-finals, many Pakistani cricket fans had trolled the Indians whereas the latter returned the favour after Babar &amp; Co.'s final loss.&nbsp;

Talking about India and Pakistan, the two teams met in their respective Super 12 openers at the MCG, Melbourne on October 23. In a riveting clash, Virat Kohli's 82 not out took Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. past the finish line in pursuit of 160. The two heavyweights were expected to meet in the finale but India bowed out with a heavy defeat at the hands of England in the second semi-finals.&nbsp;

Sam Curran and Ben Stokes starred for England in their five-wicket win over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2022 final versus Pakistan. Opting to bowl first, Jos Buttler-led Three Lions rode on Curran's 3 for 12 and two-fers from Adil Rashid and Chris Jordan to restrict Babar Azam-led Men in Green for a below-par 137 for 8 in 20 overs. In reply, Buttler &amp; Co. chased down the target with an over to spare, courtesy of all-rounder Ben Stokes' 49-ball 52.

England tried to attack with the bat in the run-chase despite being 45 for 3. While Pakistani pacers were at their best and used the conditions very well, with Naseem Shah (0 for 30) and&nbsp;Haris Rauf (2 for 23) making run-scoring tough for the 2010 winners. Nonetheless, Stokes held his nerves and held one end with a steady inning. The left-hander returned with a 49-ball 52, laced with 5 fours and a six, to take England home with an over to spare. After his match-winning knock, the 31-year-old has joined Gautam Gambhir and Kumar Sangakkara in an elite club. Stokes has become the first English batter to score a fifty in ODI and T20 WC finals, third overall.&nbsp;

Sangakkara, the former Sri Lankan captain, has become the first to achieve this unique feat. He scored a fine 64* in the Sri Lanka-Pakistan 2009 T20 WC final to attain this record, after also scoring 54 in the 2007 ODI WC final versus Australia. Gambhir followed suit. He first struck a match-winning 75 in India's 2007 T20 WC final triumph over Pakistan and followed it up with an impressive 97 in the India-SL ODI WC final in 2011. Meanwhile, Stokes had scored a memorable 89 not out in the 2019 ODI WC final between England-New Zealand before his match-winning knock versus Pakistan on Sunday (November 13) at the MCG, Melbourne.

After the match, Stokes told the broadcasters, "In finals especially when chasing.. you probably forget all the hard work before that, how we bowled, Adil Rashid and Sam Curran won us the game. It was a tricky wicket and one that you never felt in, so to restrict them to 130-odd bowlers have&nbsp;to take a lot of credit for that. With that (defeat to Ireland) being so early in the competition we obviously had to address it, say what had to be said and then let it go. In tournaments like these you can't carry baggage with you, that was a little blip on the way, credit to Ireland for turning up and beating us, but the best teams learn from their mistakes and not let it affect them. Pretty good evening. Representing your country in World Cups is amazing.. but it has been a good one."

India's run in the T20 World Cup 2022 edition ended with a heavy defeat at the hands of eventual winners England in the semi-finals. Being asked to bat first, at the Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, Rohit Sharma-led India rode on half-centuries from Virat Kohli (40-ball 50) and Hardik Pandya (33-ball 63) to post an at-par total; 168 for 6. Nonetheless, it wasn't enough as England openers Jos Buttler (40-ball 80) and Alex Hales (46-ball 87 not out) chased down the target with an unbeaten 170-run opening stand with four overs to spare.

With this performance, India's T20 WC dreams were shattered and many have raised fingers at the team selection, captaincy and India's playing template in the shortest format. As wholesome changes are expected going ahead, former Indian chief selector and 1983 ODI World Cup-winning member Kris Srikkanth has named his choice on who should lead India in T20Is in&nbsp;the 2024 T20 World Cup, in West Indies and USA.

"See if I was the chairman of the selection committee, I would say that Hardik Pandya should be the captain of the 2024 World Cup, straight away, I had put it that way – number one," the former chief selector said in an interaction with Star Sports.

"And start rebuilding a side right from today, that is from the New Zealand series which is going to happen in a weeks' time. You start from today, the preparation for the World Cup, you need to understand, starts 2 years in advance. So, you do whatever you want to do, the trial and error policy, do whatever you want, try it for one year, then you form a team and by 2023 make sure this is going to be at the level that is going to play the World Cup," the former opener asserted.

Srikkanth also stressed the fact&nbsp;that India desperately need more fast bowling all-rounders. "You need more fast-ball all-rounders. Let’s see, 1983 World Cup, 2011 World Cup, 2007 T20 World Cup, why did we win? We had many fast-ball all-rounders and semi all-rounders. So, to identify these guys - guys like (Deepak) Hooda, like Hooda, there are going to be so many more Hoodas," he added.

Hardik-led India will now take on hosts New Zealand in three T20Is, starting on November 18, with many regulars being rested. Nonetheless, many have named Hardik as the next T20I captain and few good performances as a leader can see him attain the top post. At present, KL Rahul is Rohit's deputy across formats.&nbsp;

Taylor Fritz stunned Rafa&nbsp;Nadal&nbsp;7-6(3) 6-1 to make a winning debut at the ATP Finals in Turin while Norway's Casper Ruud kick-started the round-robin stage earlier on Sunday with a win over Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime. Spanish top seed&nbsp;Nadal&nbsp;arrived in Italy having only competed in one singles match since his fourth-round U.S. Open loss two months ago and his lack of recent competition showed as he was unable to keep pace with Fritz as the match wore on.

"I need more matches to play at this kind of level, even if I am practising well, much better than how I am competing, without a doubt. That's normal,"&nbsp;Nadal&nbsp;told reporters. "At the end is not the ideal tournament and probably part of the season to come back after a couple of months without being on the tour because you don't have time to get confidence."

Nadal&nbsp;grabbed a 6-5 lead in the opening set when he held to love for a fifth time but then lost the opening three points of the tiebreaker and could not find his way back. After neither player dropped serve in the first set, Fritz broke early in the second for a 3-1 lead and again to pull ahead 5-1 before closing out the match on his next service game when&nbsp;Nadal&nbsp;sent a forehand long. "Once I got through that first set I just wanted to do the same thing I was doing for the second set: take care of my serve and just look to capitalise on the break points when I got them," Fritz said in his on-court interview.

"I knew coming out here this was going to be a big match if I want to make it out of the group, it's a really important one." For Fritz, the victory marked his first over a top-three opponent in 12 attempts and improved him to 2-2 in head-to-head meetings with&nbsp;Nadal&nbsp;having beaten him at Indian Wells in March. Canadian Auger-Aliassime has been in sublime form at the end of the season, winning three tournaments in a row before a semi-final run at the Paris Masters, but was not at his best while falling 7-6(4) 6-4 to Ruud.

Although he fired 26 winners past world number four Ruud, they were offset by 26 unforced errors as the Norwegian wrapped up the victory to get on the board in the Green Group, which also has&nbsp;Nadal&nbsp;and Fritz. "I think this is some of the best level that I've played since the U.S. Open," said Ruud, who reached the final of the year's last Grand Slam in New York. "The last couple of months have been a little bit of a struggle, I have to honestly say that, but you have to accept it as well. You will face difficult moments in your career, and maybe these last couple of months was one of those."

Auger-Aliassime had won 16 matches in a row to win titles in Florence, Antwerp and Basel last month. But Ruud, a semi-finalist last year, stamped his authority in the tiebreak and did not face a single break point in the match as he beat the Canadian for the second time this year
