Rugby league has banned transgender players from women`s international competition until further notice, following global swimming`s decision to restrict trans athletes` participation at the elite level. The International Rugby League (IRL) said in a statement on Tuesday that it needed to further consult before finalising its transgender policy. "Until further research is completed to enable the IRL to implement a formal transgender inclusion policy, male-to-female (trans women) players are unable to play in sanctioned women`s international rugby league matches," it said.

"It is the IRL`s responsibility to balance the individual`s right to participate ... against perceived risk to other participants, and to ensure all are given a fair hearing." The ban, which comes after FINA voted on Sunday to restrict transgender athletes in elite women`s swimming, drew scathing criticism from transgender advocates.

"Blanket bans on women who are trans playing against other women risks violating international human rights principles of non-discrimination, which require such policies to start from a place of inclusion," Anna Brown, CEO of Equality Australia, said in a statement.

"FINA failed to meet that standard, and the Rugby League’s ban also fails to do so, despite it being temporary." Other sports have existing policies that restrict transgender athletes in top women`s competition, including international rugby union, cycling and Australian Rules football.

The International Olympic Committee, however, said in November that no athlete should be excluded from competition on the grounds of a perceived unfair advantage, while leaving it up to sports federations to decide. The International Cycling Union said last week it had tightened its eligibility rules while other sports have said they are reviewing their policies. World soccer governing body FIFA said it is in a consultation process over transgender participation while World Athletics boss Sebastian Coe praised FINA for its stance.

`CRUEL DECISION` 
A top medical official at FINA told Reuters on Monday he hoped other sports would follow the organisation`s lead. "To my mind, FINA’s approach to this was very enlightened, it was very balanced, it was informed," FINA`s Sports Medicine Committee vice chairman David Gerrard said.

However, U.S. soccer player Megan Rapinoe, a two-time World Cup winner and an Olympic gold medallist, said the FINA decision was "disgusting" and "cruel". "We`re (framing) everything through `God forbid a trans person be successful in sports`. Get a grip on reality and take a step back," she told Time magazine. 
The IRL said it would work with the eight nations competing at the women`s Rugby League World Cup hosted by England in November to obtain data to inform a transgender policy in 2023.

"The IRL will continue to work towards developing a set of criteria, based on best possible evidence, which fairly balance the individual`s right to play with the safety of all participants," the organisation added. 
The ban is unlikely to affect many international players in women`s rugby league. There are no transgender players competing at international level in the sport`s heavyweight nations Australia and New Zealand.

The governing body of Australia`s domestic National Rugby League (NRL) competition declined to comment on the international ban and said it was still formulating its own transgender policy. "The policy will be determined by the (NRL) Commission after all advice is carefully and sensibly considered," an NRL spokesperson said.

Rugby league bans transgender players from women's international competition until further notice

Ahead of India's tour of England, wily off-spinner R Ashwin has tested positive for Covid-19. Thus, the 35-year-old spin-bowling all-rounder hasn't left for England along with the rest of the squad and will remain in quarantine for the time being.

After completing his medical protocols, Ashwin will travel to England but might miss Rohit Sharma &amp; Co.'s three-day practice game versus&nbsp;Leicestershire, ahead of the rescheduled fifth and final Test versus Ben Stokes' England.&nbsp;

"Ashwin hasn't travelled with the squad to UK as he has tested positive for Covid-19 before departure," a BCCI source told the news agency&nbsp;PTI.&nbsp; "But we are hopeful that Ashwin will recover well in time before the Test match starts on July 1. However, Ashwin might miss the practice game against Leicestershire,” the source added.

Ashwin will be eager to recover in time and be a part of India's squad, who have a chance to create history and win their first-ever Test series in England since 2007. In 2021, Virat Kohli-led India had an unassailable 2-1 lead in the five-match series before the final encounter, in Manchester, was abandoned due to&nbsp;Covid crisis in the Indian camp. Now, Rohit &amp; Co. will be desperate to finish off the incomplete 2021 series in style, by winning the final Test in Edgbaston, which gets underway on July 01.

For the unversed, the first batch of the Indian team had left for England on June 16. They are already in&nbsp;Leicester and practicing under the watchful eyes of bowling coach Paras&nbsp;Mhambrey and batting coach Vikram Rathour. After the initial batch, the likes of Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and head coach Rahul Dravid left for England on June 20, a day after the completion of the India-South Africa home T20Is (which ended in a 2-2 scoreline).

Meanwhile, Ireland-bound Indian T20I team have been given a three-day rest and will leave for Dublin either on June 23 and 24. Hardik Pandya-led Team India will play two T20Is versus Ireland, on June 26 and 28.

India spinner R Ashwin tests positive for COVID-19, does not board flight to England: Report

Team India is busy finalising their combination for the 2022 T20 World Cup, set to be held in Australia later this year. Before the marquee tournament, India still have to play plenty of series&nbsp;as they can tinker with their team combination in order to finalise their ideal XI.&nbsp;

A second-stringed Rishabh Pant-led Indian team recently played South Africa in a five-match T20I series at home, which ended in a 2-2 stalemate with the final match being abandoned due to persistent rain in Bengaluru on June 19. Despite a disappointing end to the series, India had plenty of positives with the form and performances of Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

After the series, Little Master Sunil Gavaskar&nbsp;mentioned a star player who could be one of Rohit Sharma's trump cards in the forthcoming T20 World Cup Down Under. Gavaskar hailed Harshal Patel as the fast-bowling all-rounder who impressed bowling in tough situations in the SA series and returned with&nbsp;seven wickets in four innings at&nbsp;12.57 and an economy rate of 7.23. He was, thus, the highest wicket-taker in the series.

Thus, Gavaskar told Star Sports, “He will be one of the trumps cards because you have Bhuvneshwar, Shami and Bumrah as well. Brilliant for a skipper to have someone like him to depend on, He can come in and bowl may be even in the powerplay where people are now going with change of pace. So yes he certainly should be part of the group."

Former SA captain Graeme Smith, who was also part of the same panel, agreed with Gavaskar and added, “He has been excellent. Nobody skills in the death overs with the slower balls...but I feel from game 3 he found his right length and picked up wickets and kept the pressure on the South Africans. He has all the skills as an all-rounder bowler and is a big asset to the team and handles pressure very well and is a clear thinker under pressure."

Harshal will next be seen in action in India's two-match T20I series versus Ireland, in Dublin, on June 26 and 28.

The Wimbledon 2022 edition is set to kick off on June 27. The third Grand Slam of the calendar year is keenly awaited, which will see no Russian and Belarus players participating following the ban imposed on them by the organisers in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, early this year.

While a lot has been said and written about the ban imposed on Russian and Belarus players, the excitement for the forthcoming showpiece event remains&nbsp;high. Over the years, several matches at the&nbsp;All England Club have gone down to the wire between superstar players. Here's reliving one of the most epic battles of all time when Novak Djokovic locked horns with Swiss maestro Roger Federer in the centre&nbsp;court during the 2019 men's singles final at the Wimbledon.

It was&nbsp;the&nbsp;longest ever finals and the first decided by virtue of a deciding set tie-break. While the Serbian Djokovic was made to sweat hard for every point by Federer, he saved two match points against eight-time champion&nbsp;to win his fifth title on the grass court, also&nbsp;winning back-to-back Wimbledon titles for the second time in his career.

Relive the epic battle -- where both Federer and Djokovic stretched one and other, showcased their class with rapid serves, volleys, aces, drop shots, etc. The two legends, thus, displayed grit and determination in a 4 hour 57 minute riveting clash before Djokovic won&nbsp;7-6 (5), 1-6, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 13-12 (3).

Former Pakistan captain and all-rounder Shahid Afridi has lavished huge praise on Indian cricket and hailed it for its massive influence on world cricket. Afridi's remark came after BCCI Secretary Jay Shah recently announced that the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) will have a two-and-a-half-month window from next year.

After the IPL media rights were sold for a whopping amount last week, BCCI announced its intention of extending the window for the premier T20 league going forward.&nbsp;For a cumulative figure of INR 48,390.32 crores, the successful bidders -- Disney Star, Viacom18 and Times Internet -- secured media rights for a five-year cycle, from 2023-2027. Thus, it shows the growth of the IPL and also the dominance of&nbsp;Indian cricket.

In this regard, Afridi lauded India and was quoted as saying by Samaa TV, "It all comes down to the market and the economy. The biggest [cricket] market is India. Whatever they will say will happen."

For the unversed, Afridi was one of the few Pakistani players who were part of the inaugural season of the IPL, in 2008. Back then, the 42-year-old was part of the now-defunct Deccan Chargers (DC). Since the first season, no Pakistani has been allowed to take part in the league due to the political tension between the two neighbouring countries.

Meanwhile,&nbsp;the IPL will now have 410 games in the next cycle. There will continue to be&nbsp;74 games each in the next two seasons whereas the number of matches will increase by ten&nbsp;(84)&nbsp;in the following and then be a total of 94 in the 2027 edition of the cash-rich league.

India and South Africa's five-match T20I series ended in a stalemate, 2-2, after the fifth and final encounter was abandoned due to persistent rain in Bengaluru. Despite the series not determining a winner between both sides, there were a lot of positives for the hosts India, who were without many of their white-ball regulars.

The Rishabh Pant-led Indian team saw top performances from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who returned with the Player-of-the-Match, Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Dinesh Karthik, Harshal Patel, Avesh Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal. After the series, former SA captain Graeme Smith named two players who are now integral to India's T20I squad and named the X-factor for Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. heading into the 2022 T20 World Cup.

Speaking to&nbsp;cricket.com, batting icon Smith opined that Pandya and Karthik have become somewhat indispensable. In this regard, he opined, "Still a lot of cricket to be played so it is difficult to predict what is going to happen in the next couple of months but you are going to think Hardik and DK are integral to that squad. DK is experienced with that finishing role that he has played Hardik has grown leaps and bounds and is in control of his game."

Graeme Smith names star player as Rohit Sharma-led India's 'X-factor' for 2022 T20 World Cup

Hardik Pandya remains the talk of the town. He made a sensational comeback in competitive cricket, after the 2021 T20 World Cup, after having missed a plethora of series for Team India due to his fitness issues. In his break, he worked on his fitness and has returned in style, not only fulfilling the role of an all-rounder, but the 28-year-old has also shown his flair as a leader.&nbsp;

During IPL 2022, Hardik led the debutants Gujarat Titans (GT) and took them to their maiden championship. His leadership style was hailed by many -- being calm and composed, positive, leading by the front and backing his core players -- as he also had a good run in the recently-concluded India-South Africa T20Is at home. India are now set to play Ireland in two T20Is, where Hardik will lead a second-stringed side. Ahead of his captaincy debut for India, former Indian stumper and&nbsp;selector Saba Karim lauded the all-rounder and stated that the youngster is still a different leader than MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, despite being groomed by them since his debut.

Speaking on TOI's podcast 'Sportscast', Karim said, "I think Hardik Pandya, although he spent a lot of time with MS Dhoni, spent a lot of time with Virat Kohli, he has his own brand of captaincy and the way he plays his cricket is so different from what Virat does or what MS Dhoni does. So you learn from so many great individuals who have been part of the side, but eventually, you bring your own leadership style onto the field and I think that's what he did."

Karim was part of the selection committee when Hardik made his debut for India, in early 2016 during a white-ball tour of Australia. Recalling the time, Karim opined that Hardik has impressed with his maturity, change in lifestyle, etc. to bring desired results as a cricketer.

"If I remember correctly, he made his debut in 2015-16 (January 2016 in a T20I vs Australia in Adelaide), when I was part of the selection committee and since then he has grown not only as a person but also as a cricketer and it seemed like it had come to a stage where he really had to reinvent his lifestyle to become a more mature cricketer and that's what was seen in this season's IPL. And that is remarkable - it's not easy for athletes to do that at that level," he further added.

Hardik Pandya remains the talk of the town. He made a sensational comeback in competitive cricket, after the 2021 T20 World Cup, after having missed a plethora of series for Team India due to his fitness issues.

Hardik Pandya remains the talk of the town. He made a sensational comeback in competitive cricket, after the 2021 T20 World Cup, after having missed a plethora of series for Team India due to his fitness issues. In his break, he worked on his fitness and has returned in style, not only fulfilling the role of an all-rounder, but the 28-year-old has also shown his flair as a leader. During IPL 2022, Hardik led the debutants Gujarat Titans (GT) and took them to their maiden championship. His leadership style was hailed by many -- being calm and composed, positive, leading by the front and backing his core players -- as he also had a good run in the recently-concluded India-South Africa T20Is at home. India are now set to play Ireland in two T20Is, where Hardik will lead a second-stringed side. Ahead of his captaincy debut for India, former Indian stumper and selector Saba Karim lauded the all-rounder and stated that the youngster is still a different leader than MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, despite being groomed by them since his debut. Speaking on TOI's podcast 'Sportscast', Karim said, "I think Hardik Pandya, although he spent a lot of time with MS Dhoni, spent a lot of time with Virat Kohli, he has his own brand of captaincy and the way he plays his cricket is so different from what Virat does or what MS Dhoni does.

Hardik Pandya spent a lot of time with Dhoni, Virat but has his own brand of captaincy: Ex-India stumper

India and South Africa locked horns in the fifth and final T20I at the iconic M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Sunday evening (June 19). Much to the dismay of the fans at the stadium, only 3.3 overs of play was possible -- with hosts 21 for 2 -- as the entire proceedings led to a no-result due to persistent rain.

Before the start of play, when rain was out of the picture, Rishabh Pant-led India had lost the coin toss -- for the fifth time in a row -- and were asked to bat first. Just when the players came out for the start of the match, rain made its presence felt and both camps went back to their respective dressing rooms. Just then, a video of Ruturaj Gaikwad's interaction with a groundsman went viral.&nbsp;

In the video, the groundsman was in the Indian dressing room and asked&nbsp;Ruturaj&nbsp;for a quick selfie. To this, the 25-year-old Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) and India opener asked him to maintain distance and, instead, interacted with his follow teammates. While many have slammed Ruturaj for his inappropriate behaviour, some have also supported the batter as outsiders and cellphones are prohibited in&nbsp;dugouts. Here are some reactions as netizens on Twitter are divided over Ruturaj's behaviour with the groundsman:&nbsp;

Talking about the India-SA T20I series, the two sides had to share the trophy after the final match was abandoned due to persistent rain in Bengaluru. Speaking about Ruturaj, he returned with a solitary fifty in five outings and will like to make the most of his opportunities in India's upcoming two-match T20I series versus Ireland.

American Caeleb Dressel grabbed his 15th world championship gold medal and his second in two days as he won the 50m butterfly final in Budapest on Sunday. The other three winners on Sunday night were all collecting their first major-championship golds. Italian&nbsp;Nicolo&nbsp;Martinenghi&nbsp;won the 100m breaststroke, while American women Alex Walsh, in the 200m medley, and Torri Huske, in the 100m butterfly, took titles.

Dressel took just 18 strokes and 22.57sec for his latest gold. "In this sport nothing is given," said Dressel. "I knew my race plan: 18 strokes was my money number and it was exactly 18 strokes." Dressel, who said he "felt so lost" after winning five in Tokyo, believes the victory "will definitely boost my confidence." "It was good, it wasn't perfect, none of my races are. I'm excited to get that first individual one out of the way, day off tomorrow, then am excited to get 100 free, and then couple of relays." "I never come to these to count medals, it's just about swimming fast, that's all that's on my mind."

At 42, runner-up Nicholas Santos broke his own record as the oldest World Championship medallist.&nbsp; The Brazilian edged Andrew Michael of the United States by one-hundredth of a second to claim silver. "I'm 42 years old, it's not so easy to stay here competing with these guys," Santos said. "It's really painful to stay training hard to get to compete with these guys."

Martinenghi&nbsp;made the most of the absence of Adam Peaty to grab the 100m breaststroke world title. "To win my first medal as a gold medal in my first final is every exciting," he said. Martinenghi, the bronze medallist in last year's Olympics, finished in 58.26sec to edge Dutchman Arno Kamminga, who repeated his Tokyo silver with American Nic Fink third.&nbsp;

Peaty has set the 17 fastest times in the history of the event. He won the last two Olympic and last three world titles. "It's not the same without Adam, I know, but I am happy to sit in the throne that he left, I am happy to be the first guy that used this moment without him," said the 22-year-old Italian. "I am younger than him. I'm hungry but I think that he's hungry too. He wants to win a lot more and me too."&nbsp;

Walsh collected her first gold medal at a major championships in style as she powered away from the field to win the 200 medley.

<h2>- 'Lot of adrenaline' -</h2>

The American, the silver medallist in the Olympics last year, beat Australian Kaylee McKeown, winner of two backstroke golds in Tokyo, by 1.44sec. Another American, 16-year-old, Leah Hayes set a world junior record in third. Walsh said she was inspired by a full arena.

"I forgot what it is like to have so many people in the crowd, I was shocked, looking up and seeing that the whole stadium was full of people," she said. "But it brought me a lot of adrenalin."

Hungarian 33-year-old Katinka Hosszu, the defending world champion, was seventh, 4.24sec back, despite the support of her home crowd.

In the women's 100m butterfly, Huske continued her blistering form from the heats as she surged to victory. Huske set a personal best 55.64sec to beat French hope Marie Wattel by half a second with Zhang Yufei from China completing the podium.&nbsp;

World record holder Lilly King was only ninth fastest in the women's 100m breaststroke semis but collected one of the eight slots in the final, and the chance to defend her title, after American team-mate Annie Lazor was disqualified.

Apostolos Christou from Greece set a championship record in the semi-finals of the men's 100m backstroke.&nbsp;Italian Thomas Ceccon, who was second just 0.03sec behind, also broke the record set by Xu Jiayu three years ago. Jiayu missed the final.

Romanian 17-year-old David Popovici&nbsp;broke the world junior record with a 1:44.40 in the 200m freestyle semi-final. Austrian Felix Auboeck qualified second 0.77sec behind and the former world junior record holder Hwang Sunwoo of South Korea was third.&nbsp;

Swimming`s world governing body FINA on Sunday voted to restrict the participation of transgender athletes in elite women`s competitions and create a working group to establish an "open" category for them in some events as part of its new policy. The decision was made during FINA`s extraordinary general congress on the sidelines of the world championships in Budapest after members heard a report from a transgender task force comprising leading medical, legal and sports figures.

The new policy will require transgender competitors to have completed their transition by the age of 12 in order to be able to compete in women`s competitions. The policy was passed with a roughly 71% majority after it was put to the members of 152 national federations with voting rights who had gathered for the congress at the Puskas Arena.

Transgender rights has become a major talking point as sports seek to balance inclusivity while ensuring there is no unfair advantage. The debate intensified after University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas became the first transgender NCAA champion in Division I history after winning the women`s 500-yard freestyle earlier this year.

It followed New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard becoming the first transgender athlete to compete at the Olympic Games in Tokyo last year.
