Fifteen players have quit the&nbsp;Spanish&nbsp;women's national team in an "unprecedented" mass resignation, the&nbsp;Spanish&nbsp;football federation (RFEF) announced late Thursday, coming after weeks of speculations of divisions in the camp.

Spanish&nbsp;media has recently reported that part of the women's national team wanted coach Jorge Vilda to be sacked.&nbsp;The RFEF on Thursday published a statement saying that 15 players had sent them the same email of resignation.&nbsp;"They state the current situation generated affects them 'significantly' in their 'emotional state' and their 'health' and that 'as long as it is not reversed', they are resigning from the national team of Spain," the federation announced.

Condemning the players for questioning "the continuity of the national coach", RFEF said they will not "call up players who do not want to wear the Spain shirt".&nbsp; 
 
"The Federation will only use committed players, even if it means playing with youth players.&nbsp; It is an unprecedented situation in the history of soccer, both men's and women's, in Spain and worldwide," it said.

A&nbsp;Spanish&nbsp;radio station COPE reported that current Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas, out injured for the season, was not among the players who resigned.&nbsp;But her Barcelona teammates Patri Guijarro, Mapi Leon, Sandra Panos, Aitana Bonmati, Claudia Pina and Mariona Caldentey were in the group.

Manchester United's Ona Batlle and Lucia Garcia and Manchester City's Leila Ouahabi and Laia Aleixandri were also reported to be among those who have resigned. Earlier this month, the&nbsp;Spanish&nbsp;women's league season was delayed by a week after a refereeing strike caused the postponement of the first round of fixtures.

Jhulan Goswami, one of the legends of Indian cricket, has confirmed her retirement plans on Friday (September 23). The legendary pacer has revealed that she will call it quits from international cricket after Harmanpreet Kaur &amp; Co.'s third and final ODI versus England at Lord's on Saturday (September 24).

"I haven't decided. So far the BCCI hasn't officially come out with an official announcement, let that come first then I will decide. Right now, I am retiring from international cricket," Jhulan revealed in a press conference while answering whether she will feature in next year's Women's IPL

Jhulan, who has accounted for 44, 253 and 56 scalps in Tests, ODIs and T20Is respectively, was part of India's memorable ODI World Cup campaigns in 2005 and 2017, when they ended as runners-up in both the occasions. Not winning a World Cup medal remains her biggest regret. "I have played two World Cup finals but couldn`t win the trophy. That remains my only regret because you prepare for World Cup for four years. There is a lot of hard work. For every cricketer, it is a dream-come-true moment to win a World Cup," she stated in a virtual pre-match press conference

'I am fortunate to play the sport'

"When I started I never thought of playing for such a long time. It was a great experience. I am fortunate to play the sport. Honestly, coming from a humble background and a small town like Chakdah (in West Bengal`s Nadia district), I didn`t know anything about women`s cricket. My best memory is when I got the India cap and bowled the first over because I never imagined (that I will play for India). The journey was difficult as I had to travel for two-and-half hours by local train one way every day for training," Jhulan asserted.

Speaking about the moment that she will cherish and remain with her forever, the 39-year-old Jhulan revealed, "When I started, it was different. Those days, we used to represent the women`s cricket association of India and now, we are under the umbrella of BCCI. We are fortunate enough; every time BCCI supports us and they always come forward to support us. At the same time, the best memory, was when I received the maiden India cap from my captain was a wonderful feeling. Bowling that first over, that was the most important moment of my life. "I always dreamt of playing for the country. In 1997, the first time I saw the Women`s World Cup final at Eden Gardens, it was between Australia and New Zealand," she added."I was a ball girl for that match, and then I dreamt that I might represent my country for the first time. That is how I started, representing the country is the biggest moment of my life," she further added.

Jhulan remains one of the pioneers of women's cricket in India, along with Mithali Raj. Her knack for chipping in with wickets at crunch situations, bowling the tough overs, and spearheading the bowling unit for such a long time stands out. She is known for her pace, accuracy and will go down as one of the legends in women's cricket (with most ODI wickets and most scalps in 50-over World Cup as well -- 43). Being an active cricketer at the&nbsp;age of 39 for any pacer remains an astonishing feat, hence, Jhulan can be proud of her glittering career.

Harmanpreet-led Indian eves will look to give Jhulan a fitting farewell by winning the third and final ODI and also whitewashing the series over Amy Jones &amp; Co.

MS Dhoni remains a big name in world cricket. Having retired from international cricket on August 15, 2020, the 41-year-old continues to make heads turn whenever he appears on the 22-yard cricket strip donning the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) jersey in the IPL. He will return to competitive cricket in IPL 2023 where he will hope to guide CSK to another title.&nbsp; 
 
Over the years, Dhoni has been known for fulfilling various roles for Team India and his IPL franchises. Apart from his blitz as a wicketkeeper, batter, finisher, he is also known to be one of the most ideal leaders in world cricket. Under him, India won all three ICC trophies and even attained the No. 1 rank in ICC Test Rankings for the first time, in late 2009. He has even led CSK to four IPL titles along with two Champions League triumphs. Known as Captain Cool, Dhoni recently revealed why he is so cool on the field amid such high-pressure situations.&nbsp;

In an event, Dhoni asked the audience, "How many of you think your bosses are calm?". With only a few hands&nbsp;going up, the former Indian captain asserted, "Either they want to make brownie points or they are bosses themselves." He added, "Honestly, when we are on the field, we do not want to make any mistakes whether it's misfielding, dropped catches or any other mistake. I always try and get into their shoes to figure out why a player dropped a catch or why somebody misfielded. Getting angry does not help matters. There are already 40,000 people watching from the stands and crores of people watching the match (on TV, and streaming platforms). I had to see what the reason was (for fielding lapses)."

"If a player is 100 per cent attentive on the ground and he misses a catch despite that, I don't have a problem. Of course, I also want to see how many catches he took during practice before that.. if he had a problem somewhere and he is making efforts to get better or not. I used to focus on all these aspects instead of focusing on whether a catch was dropped. Maybe we lost a game because of that but the effort was always to try to step into their shoes," Dhoni said on Livfast.

"I am also human. I would feel the same way inside like you all felt. When you go out and play a match among yourselves, you would feel bad. We represent our country, so we would feel worse. But we always try and control our emotions," concluded the legendary cricketer.

'Getting angry does not help matters' - MS Dhoni reveals why he always remains calm on field

Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson lavished huge praise on India's vice-captain and opener KL Rahul. Ahead of the three-match T20I series opener between India and Australia, in Mohali on Tuesday evening (September 20), Watson revealed that the 30-year-old Rahul is one of his favourite players.

Watson, part of Australia's 2003 and 2007 ODI World Cup victories, stated that he is in awe of Rahul's effortless striking and put him in the same bracket featuring Babar Azam and also added Suryakumar Yadav in it. He, however, stated that 'he is right up there' and drew comparisons with former Aussie great Damien Martyn.

“When it comes to style, KL Rahul has always been one of my favourite players. His skills, how effortlessly he takes on fast bowling, spin... He has got all the shots in the book, and he times the ball so beautifully. When I look at him batting, it makes me think of Damien Martyn, and the grace he had when he played. He hit the ball hard but it looks like he didn't try to hit the ball hard at all,” Watson said during a conversation on the&nbsp;ICC Review ahead of the India-Australia Mohali T20I.

“In recent times, Suryakumar Yadav certainly got that style as well. Babar Azam as well, can't go past him. But when it comes to KL Rahul, he's just right up there. He just takes on the best bowlers in the world with so much ease. It's not that easy!” added the&nbsp;former Aussie star.

Rahul returned to international cricket in mid-August, since February early this year, and had an ordinary run in the Zimbabwe ODIs and Asia Cup. While he slammed a 41-ball 62 in the inconsequential tie versus Afghanistan in the continental tournament, won by Sri Lanka, Rahul came to his own in the T20I series opener versus Aaron Finch's Australia on Tuesday evening.

With captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli falling for cheap, Rahul's 35-ball 55 and Hardik Pandya's 71 propelled India to 208-6. In reply, Australia rode on Cameron Green's 61 and Matthew's 45 not out to chase down the target with four wickets in hand.

IND vs AUS, 3rd T20I: Stampede in Hyderabad as fans come in large numbers for tickets - Watch

India lost to Australia in the first of the three-match T20I series on Tuesday evening (September 20) at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. Being asked to bat first, India lost captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli early but rode on vice-captain KL Rahul's 55, Suryakumar Yadav's 46 and Hardik Pandya's 71 not out to post a tall score, of 208 for 6 in 20 overs.

In reply, Australia were cruising at 108 for 1 at the halfway stage before a collapse saw them being reduced to 145-5 in 14.1 overs. At that stage, it seemed like India will edge past Australia but the T20 world champions rode on Matthew Wade's 45 not out, off 21 balls, after Cameron Green's impressive 61 to win by four wickets in 19.2 overs. In this way, the Aussies recorded their highest T20I run-chase versus the 2007 champions.

After the contest, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Sunil Gavaskar mentioned India's 'real concern heading into the T20 World Cup, from next month in Australia. "I don't think there was too much dew. We didn't see the fielders or bowlers trying to use the towel to try and dry their fingers. That's not an excuse. We didn't bowl well. For example, that 19th over... that's a real concern,” Gavaskar said on&nbsp;Sports Today&nbsp;following the game.

“Somebody like a Bhuvneshwar Kumar is going for runs every single time, when he is expected.. in 18 deliveries he has bowled in three matches against Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and now Australia, he has given away 49 runs. It is almost three runs per ball. Somebody with his experience and calibre, you expect he will give 35-36 runs in those 18 deliveries. That really is an area of concern,” pointed out the&nbsp;ex-Indian skipper.

Bhuvi leaked 31 runs in his last 12 deliveries in Mohali. Even in India's Super Four games versus Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the experienced pacer gave away 19 and 14 runs, respectively, as Rohit &amp; Co. lost both the fixtures.

Gavaskar further pinned his hopes on Jasprit Bumrah's comeback to revive India's death-bowling. "What we have seen in last few years is that has been one of the areas where India have suffered. They have not been able to defend good&nbsp;scores. Maybe when (Jasprit) Bumrah comes in it might be a completely different situation because he gets wickets at the top. India didn't get those today as Australia got off to a flying start,”Gavaskar added.

Bumrah was given some time to return to international cricket, having last played during the England ODIs, but is expected to appear in India's must-win game versus Australia, on Friday (September 23) in Nagpur.

Ind vs Aus, 1st T20I: Sunil Gavaskar points out Rohit & Co.'s 'real concern' after defeat in Mohali run-feast

India faced Australia in the series opener of the three-match T20I series on Tuesday evening (September 20) at the PCA IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. After a disappointing run in the Asia Cup 2022 edition, India were expected to start off with a win in home conditions, however, the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue failed to defend 208/6 and lost the game in the last over by four wickets.

Being asked to bat first, India rode on vice-captain KL Rahul's 35-ball 55, Suryakumar Yadav's 46, and Hardik Pandya's scintillating 30-ball 71 not out to post 208 for 6 in their full quota of overs. In reply, Australia were off to a flier courtesy of makeshift opener Cameron Green's 61 before Matthew Wade's 21-ball 45 not out took his side home with fours wickets and an equal number of balls to spare.

In the post-match press conference, all-rounder Hardik addressed the media and gave a sarcastic reply when asked by a reporter to reveal the 'turning point' of the contest.

"Aap batao, mujhe nahi pata, humko pata hota toh wahi nahi rok dete na. (You tell me, I don't know. Had we known about it, we would've stopped them in the field)", Hardik said in response to the question from a journalist's question; leaving everyone baffled.

Hardik further asserted, "Dekho sir, pinpoint nahi kar sakte. Unke time pe bhi ek over mein 24-25 run aye, usse kuch farak nahi padta. Bilateral series hai, aur do matches hai usmein koshish karenge kuch achchha karne ki. (Sir, we can't pinpoint on a single over, they also conceded 24-25 runs in an over. We&nbsp;still have two more games in the series and, hence,&nbsp;we will try to make a comeback)."

At the halfway mark in the run-chase, Australia was marching ahead being well-placed at 109-1. However, India reduced them to 145 for 5 in 14.1 overs and were favourites with the Aussies needing 40 off 18 balls. Nonetheless, Bhuvneshwar Kumar leaked 31 runs in his last 12 deliveries whereas Harshal Patel was smacked for 22 runs in the penultimate over as the visitors achieved a 1-0 lead.

At the post-match presentation, captain Rohit pointed out, "I don't think we bowled well. 200 is a good score to defend, and we didn't take our chances in the field. It was a great effort from our batters, but bowlers were not quite there. There are things we need to look at, but it was a great game for us to understand what went wrong. We know this is a high-scoring ground. You can't relax even if you get 200. We took wickets to an extent, but they played really well. They played some extraordinary shots. If I was in that changing room, I would expect to chase that total. You can back yourself to defend 60 runs in the final 4 overs. We were not able to take that extra wicket. That was the turning point, if we would have taken another wicket, things would have been different."

Kevin De Bruyne score one goal and made the other for&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;to secure a rare 2-1 win over Wales in Brussels and keep the Red Devils' slim chance of reaching the Nations League semi-finals alive. De Bruyne claimed before the game that he was "bored" of facing Wales on the international stage,&nbsp;but&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;had won just two of the previous eight meetings between the sides over the last 10 years.

That included a famous victory for the Welsh in the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, but there was no repeat for the severely depleted visitors on Thursday. Gareth Bale was left on the bench by Rob Page with one eye on managing his fitness ahead of their World Cup, while Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies missed out through injury.

Belgium&nbsp;were also missing one of their key men in Romelu Lukaku, but Michy Batshuayi stepped up to replace the Inter Milan striker to continue his excellent goalscoring record at international level. Batshuayi played provider for the opening goal as his pass was superbly stroked into the bottom corner by De Bruyne on 10 minutes. The Manchester City midfielder then hit the post and Batshuayi passed up a great chance as Wales struggled to contain the waves of Belgian attacks.

The same two players combined for the second goal eight minutes before half-time as this time De Bruyne's teasing cross left&nbsp;Batshuayi with a tap-in for his 26th international goal in 46 appearances. To their credit, Wales did not give in and got back into the game thanks in large part to the impressive Brennan Johnson. The Nottingham Forest forward's surging run and cross teed up Kieffer Moore to halve the arrears five minutes into the second half.

Moore then gave way to Bale for the final 25 minutes, but the only impact the LA Galaxy star made was getting harshly booked for taking his protests towards an overturned&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;penalty too far. Turkish referee Ali Palabiyik wrongly pointed to the spot when Joe Morrell produced a perfectly timed tackle on De Bruyne inside the area.

That decision was overturned after a VAR review and Palabiyik made another extremely harsh call when&nbsp;Belgium&nbsp;coach Roberto Martinez was sent off from the touchline late on for wasting time.But the side ranked second in the world comfortably held out to remain three points behind the Netherlands at the top of Group A4.

Martinez's men will need to win by at least three goals when the sides meet in Amsterdam on Sunday to progress to the last four. Wales need to beat Poland in Cardiff in their final game to avoid relegation into League B of the Nations League.

Kevin De Bruyne leads Belgium to victory over Wales at Nations League

Justin Thomas and Cameron Young sank clutch putts and the United States blunted a back-nine fightback to lead the Internationals 4-1 after Thursday's opening Presidents Cup matches. The Americans dominated early then held on in foursomes (alternate shot) matches at Quail Hollow, stretching their Presidents Cup win streak in the format to 16 sessions since 2005.

Thomas sank a 27-foot par putt to win the crucial 15th hole to give him and Jordan Spieth a 2&amp;1 triumph over Corey Conners and Im Sung-jae. Young sank a 26-foot birdie putt to win the 17th as he and Collin Morikawa beat South Koreans Lee Kyoung-hoon and Kim Joo-hyung 2&amp;1.

"We had some matches that we played really solid and some that were really a grind," US captain Davis Love said. "A great start, a lot of heart." The Americans lead the all-time rivalry 11-1-1 and have never lost on home soil, having won the past eight consecutive Cups. Tokyo Olympic champion Xander Schauffele and 2021 PGA Tour playoffs winner Patrick Cantlay ripped Masters winners Hideki Matsuyama of Japan and Adam Scott of Australia 6&amp;5 in the opener. But the other matches were tight to the finish, with South Korean Kim Si-woo and Australian Cameron Davis winning the last four holes in a 2-up victory over top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns.

"We hung in there. We got off to a tough start and were behind the 8-ball early," said Internationals captain Trevor Immelman. "We're going to have to find a way to make a few putts in the next few days. But we'll hang in there. That's what we do. We'll never quit." Max Homa and Tony Finau won 1-up over Canada's Taylor Pendrith and Chile's Mito Pereira after Pendrith missed a 10-foot par putt at 18. It took 99 minutes to crack par for the Internationals, who quickly fell behind in every match but grinded back. "We're going to learn a lot," said Canada's Conners. "I think we're going to be just as hungry to get back out there."

The Americans are huge favorites with 10 of the world's 16 top-ranked players to none for an International roster decimated by defections to the LIV&nbsp;Golf&nbsp;Series. World number four Schauffele and fifth-ranked Cantlay won the fifth through seventh holes with birdies for a 4-up lead and took the last three holes with pars.

"We felt like the wind was picking up so we told each other to ball-strike the heck out of this place and that's what we did," said Schauffele. Schauffele and Cantlay rose to 5-0 in foursomes at Ryder and Presidents Cup. They also won this year's PGA pairs event in New Orleans.

"We just feel really comfortable and confident playing together," Cantlay said. "To make no bogeys it was really good&nbsp;golf." Spieth and Thomas stayed unbeaten in Cup foursomes. They went 3-up after six but Im's 14-foot birdie putt to win the ninth trimmed it to 1-up. "It was a big grind," Spieth said.

<h2>- 'Exactly what we needed' -</h2>

Thomas sank his clutch putt at 15, Quail Hollow's closing hole when he won the 2017 PGA Championship but moved this week to produce thrills. Thomas did, pumping his fist and screaming, "That's what I'm talking about," before two final tied holes sealed victory.

"It was huge," Thomas said. "It was great. It was exactly what we needed kind of thing." Young holed a 24-foot birdie putt to win the sixth but a Lee birdie at 12 tied the match. Morikawa's approach landed inches from the cup at 13 to set up a birdie to restore the US lead ahead of Young's winning putt. "It was awesome," Young said.

Reigning Masters champion Scheffler and Burns were 2-up after 14 but Kim Si-woo and Davis took the lead when Davis dropped his approach at 17 inside four feet and Kim sank the birdie putt, then won 18 when Scheffler missed a 12-footer for par. "We had a brutal first nine," Kim said. "We played nervously but we tried to fight back." Davis said of his heroics at 17: "It was the first time all day a shot come off like I wanted and it came at a perfect time."

But the other matches were tight to the finish, with South Korean Kim Si-woo and Australian Cameron Davis winning the last four holes in a 2-up victory over top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns. "We hung in there. We got off to a tough start and were behind the 8-ball early," said Internationals captain Trevor Immelman. "We're going to have to find a way to make a few putts in the next few days. But we'll hang in there. That's what we do. We'll never quit." Max Homa and Tony Finau won 1-up over Canada's Taylor Pendrith and Chile's Mito Pereira after Pendrith missed a 10-foot par putt at 18. It took 99 minutes to crack par for the Internationals, who quickly fell behind in every match but grinded back. "We're going to learn a lot," said Canada's Conners. "I think we're going to be just as hungry to get back out there." The Americans are huge favorites with 10 of the world's 16 top-ranked players to none for an International roster decimated by defections to the LIV Golf Series. World number four Schauffele and fifth-ranked Cantlay won the fifth through seventh holes with birdies for a 4-up lead and took the last three holes with pars. "We felt like the wind was picking up so we told each other to ball-strike the heck out of this place and that's what we did," said Schauffele. Schauffele and Cantlay rose to 5-0 in foursomes at Ryder and Presidents Cup. They also won this year's PGA pairs event in New Orleans. "We just feel really comfortable and confident playing together," Cantlay said. "To make no bogeys it was really good golf." Spieth and Thomas stayed unbeaten in Cup foursomes. They went 3-up after six but Im's 14-foot birdie putt to win the ninth trimmed it to 1-up. "It was a big grind," Spieth said.

Thomas did, pumping his fist and screaming, "That's what I'm talking about," before two final tied holes sealed victory. "It was huge," Thomas said. "It was great. It was exactly what we needed kind of thing." Young holed a 24-foot birdie putt to win the sixth but a Lee birdie at 12 tied the match. Morikawa's approach landed inches from the cup at 13 to set up a birdie to restore the US lead ahead of Young's winning putt. "It was awesome," Young said. Reigning Masters champion Scheffler and Burns were 2-up after 14 but Kim Si-woo and Davis took the lead when Davis dropped his approach at 17 inside four feet and Kim sank the birdie putt, then won 18 when Scheffler missed a 12-footer for par. "We had a brutal first nine," Kim said. "We played nervously but we tried to fight back." Davis said of his heroics at 17: "It was the first time all day a shot come off like I wanted and it came at a perfect time."

Americans take 4-1 lead on Internationals at Presidents Cup

Rohit Sharma-led India will face Australia in the second and penultimate T20I on Friday evening (September 23). After losing the series opener by four wickets in Mohali, the home side will be under pressure when they take on the field with the series on the line. In the last India-Australia T20I series held in India, the Aaron Finch-led Men in Yellow had inflicted a 2-0 whitewash over the then Virat Kohli &amp; Co. and, hence, India will like to keep the series alive and settle scores in the third T20I on Sunday (September 23).&nbsp;

India's death-bowling woes need to be addressed at the earliest, with the T20 World Cup less than a month away. Hence, India will hope the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel, who leaked plenty in the end overs at Mohali, will regain some form whereas all eyes will be on Jasprit Bumrah's return. The premier pacer wasn't rushed into the playing XI during the series opener, having recently recovered from a back injury, but is expected to turn up on the field on Friday evening with the series on the line.
