Indian top-order batter Shubman Gill will likely miss the second Test match against Australia starting next Friday (Dec 6) as the visitors look to extend their lead in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Gill, who missed the Perth Test due to a left thumb fracture is likely to require another two weeks to recover, likely ending his quest to return to the Playing XI for the Adelaide contest. The Indian team led by Jasprit Bumrah took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series having beaten Pat Cummins and Co by 295 runs on Monday.

<h2>Gill likely to miss Adelaide Test</h2>

With the pink-ball Test in running, Gill will face a race against time to be fit for the all-important contest. However, media reports state that he is unlikely to be in the Playing XI due to the extent of the injury. He suffered a thumb injury in the warm-up match against the WACA Simulation side before the Perth Test. In case Gill fails to recover, the Indian team will likely show faith in either Dhruv Jurel or Devdutt Padikkal for the second Test.

While Gill’s absence could be a huge factor, the Indian team will be boosted by the return of skipper Rohit Sharma. He landed in Australia after missing the opening contest due to paternity leave and will be available for the day-night Test match. His availability will likely force either Jurel or Padikkal to drop out with KL Rahul will squeeze into the middle order.

<h2>India to push for a 2-0 lead</h2>

With the second Test set to start on December 6, the Indian team will look to hold on to the momentum heading into the contest. Rohit’s men will have a two-day match against Prime Minister’s XI on Nov 30 and Dec 1 in Canberra before taking guard in Adelaide. With momentum, the visitors will have the golden opportunity to extend their lead and keep pace for the World Test Championship (WTC) final.

BGT 2024/25: Shubman Gill likely to miss pink-ball Test in Adelaide due to thumb injury - Report

Olympic bronze medallist Bajrang Punia has been handed a four-year ban for refusing to take a dope test during the selection trials for the national team. The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) confirmed the ban on Tuesday (Nov 26) having provisionally suspended the wrestler in April this year. This comes as a major setback for the wrestler as the ban will likely end his pursuit of the Asian Games while also hampering his dreams of winning another Olympic medal.

<h2>Bajrang&nbsp;suspended for four years</h2>

Bajrang successfully appealed against the provisional suspension, with NADA’s Anti-Disciplinary Doping Panel (ADDP) revoking it on May 31, pending a formal notice of charge. NADA served a formal notice on June 23. After written submissions from Bajrang and hearings held on Sep 20 and Oct 4, the ADDP ruled to enforce a four-year ineligibility period starting 23 April 2024.

During the national trials in April, the 30-year-old wrestler refused to give his urine sample, thereby violating the code of doping conduct. He was initially handed the provisional ban but now faces action after the issue was raised by the ADDP. The suspension stems from a violation of Article 10.3.1 of NADA’s Anti-Doping Rules.

“Needless to say on account of the lifting of the provisional suspension for the period from 31.05.2024 to 21.06.2024 shall not be credited into the total period of ineligibility of four years,” the ADDP said in its release.

This will be a huge setback for Bajrang, who missed qualification for the Paris Olympics due to the provisional ban and poor form in the national trials. However, he was still considered a capable candidate to win a medal at the 2026 Asian Games, but the latest ban will all but end his dream. He had won a bronze medal in the 65kg men’s category at the Tokyo Olympics.

Family and teammates paid tribute to late Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes on Wednesday, marking 10 years since he died after being struck on the neck while batting.

Hughes, who played 26 Tests, died from bleeding on the brain after he was hit by a rising ball during a domestic match at the Sydney Cricket Ground in November 2014.

Images of 25-year-old Hughes lying helpless on the pitch as players rushed to his aid shocked the world cricket community, sparking an outpouring of grief and calls to make the game safer.&nbsp;

"Phillip was a loving, humorous and an infectious person to be around," his family said in a statement released on the 10-year anniversary of his death.

"He played cricket for all the right reasons and had the ability to take it all in his stride.&nbsp;

"He loved being a part of a team and representing Australia for the game he loved so deeply."&nbsp;

Former teammate David Warner said Hughes would have been just as good, "if not better", than himself and fellow batting great Steve Smith.&nbsp;

"I'd like to think he was probably a more complete player than what I was," he told Australia's NewsCorp.&nbsp;

Darren Lehmann -- Australia's coach at the time of Hughes' death -- said the promising batsman would have gone on to play "120 Test matches, there's no doubt about that".&nbsp;

"He would've just gone from strength to strength, the way he played," he told national broadcaster ABC.&nbsp;

Cricket Australia said Hughes' memory would live "forever in our hearts", declaring he would be "forever 63 not out" -- his score at the time he was struck.&nbsp;

The governing body has announced a series of events to mark the anniversary, coinciding with the second Test between Australia and India beginning December 6.&nbsp;

Players in upcoming domestic matches across the country will wear black armbands in his honour.

Australia marks 10 years since tragic death of cricketer Phillip Hughes

Inter Miami have appointed former Argentina midfielder Javier Mascherano as their new head coach, the Major League Soccer club said on Tuesday.

Mascherano will coach his former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi at the club and replaces Gerardo Martino, who stood down last week due to 'personal reasons'.

The 40-year-old has most recently worked as coach of the Argentine Under-20's and their Olympic team at the Paris Olympics.

He made 203 appearances for Barcelona and as well as playing alongside Messi, he was a team-mate of current Inter Miami players Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets and Luis Suarez.

In his job with the Argentine FA's youth set-up Mascherano coached Inter Miami's players Tomas Aviles, Facundo Farias and Federico Redondo

"This job requires somebody with the experience to be able to maximise our unique collection of talent - from our global superstars, to our burgeoning homegrown players, to our young international prospects, and everything in between," said Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas.

"Javier has amassed unmatched experience in his career, from playing on the world’s biggest stages, to coaching at the youth international level; he has the blend of skills and experience we were looking for.

"We believe Javier is an important addition to our club as we continue on our quest to be among the world’s elite, setting a new standard for football in North America,” added Mas.

This year, Miami dominated the MLS regular season, winning the Supporters' Shield for the team with the best overall record, breaking the points record in the process -- an achievement which led FIFA to hand them a place in next year's Club World Cup.

But Miami lost out to &nbsp;Atlanta, in a best-three opening round to the MLS Cup playoffs in what was a major upset.

Club co-owner David Beckham said he was sure that the new coach had the qualities needed for MLS's most high profile club.

"Javier has always demonstrated what makes him great - relentless determination with the knowledge, instincts and understanding to back it up. We’re very excited to welcome him to lead our team," said Beckham.

In his playing career Mascherano, made his mark with River Plate in his homeland before a season with Corinthians in Brazil. He then played in England for West Ham United and Liverpool before he moved to Barcelona.

At the Camp Nou, the defensive midfielder was part of five Spanish title winning teams and won the Champions League twice with the Catalan club.

"To be able to lead a club like Inter Miami is an honor for me, and a privilege I will strive to make the most of," Mascherano said.

"I was drawn to the organisation’s undeniable ambition, and the infrastructure it has to support it. I’m looking forward to working with the people at Inter Miami to help the club reach new heights, and to give the fans more unforgettable moments," he added.

The Mascherano appointment was the third coaching move in MLS on Tuesday.

New York City FC, who were eliminated from the playoffs after a home defeat to local rivals New York Red Bulls on Saturday announced that coach Nick Cushing was leaving the club, which is owned by Manchester City's City Football Group.

St.Louis City, the second-year club who missed out on the playoffs this season, appointed former Sweden captain and ex-Aston Villa defender Olof Mellberg as their new coach.

Javier Mascherano re-unites with Lionel Messi as new coach of Inter Miami

Manchester City's struggles continued as Pep Guardiola's side remarkably blew a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday, while Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain to leave the French club in danger of elimination.

There were also big wins for Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen, while Inter Milan went top of the standings after five games and Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski reached a century of Champions League goals.

However, the biggest drama came at the Etihad Stadium, where City were cruising early in the second half with a three-goal advantage as they sought to end a run of five successive defeats in all competitions.

Erling Haaland opened the scoring from a penalty just before half-time, and Ilkay Gundogan's deflected shot made it 2-0 in the 50th minute.

Haaland struck again to make it 3-0, but Feyenoord's comeback began on 75 minutes when Anis Hadj Moussa took advantage of hapless defending to round goalkeeper Ederson and pull one back.

Substitute Santiago Gimenez bundled in to make it 3-2 on 82 minutes and the equaliser arrived a minute from the end.

Ederson was again caught out with Igor Paixao going around the goalkeeper and crossing for Slovak international David Hancko to head in.

"We concede a lot of goals because we are not stable," complained Guardiola.

"We lost a lot of games lately. We are fragile and of course we need a victory."

It is the first time that a team has gone into the last 20 minutes of a Champions League game trailing by three goals and still avoided defeat, as the point boosts the Dutch side's hopes of progressing.

City are two points outside the top eight places which offer direct qualification for the last 16, while Bayern moved above them by beating PSG 1-0 in Munich.

South Korean defender Kim Min-jae scored the only goal seven minutes before half-time, heading in after goalkeeper Matvei Safonov failed to clear a corner.

PSG had Ousmane Dembele sent off in the second half and the French champions have just four points, and three goals, from five games.

They are a lowly 26th in the 36-team league, a point adrift of the positions which offer a place in the play-off round in February.

"We need to win our last three matches, otherwise we risk being eliminated," admitted PSG coach Luis Enrique.

<h2>Lewandowski century</h2>

Lewandowski notched his 100th goal in the competition with an early penalty in Barcelona's 3-0 home win over French side Brest.

Dani Olmo netted midway through the second half before Lewandowski sealed Barca's win at the death, his 101st goal in the Champions League -- only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have scored more.

Inter lead the standings with 13 points, a point ahead of Barcelona and Liverpool, after a 1-0 win at home to RB Leipzig which means they are also still yet to concede a goal.

Castello Lukeba's own goal made the difference at San Siro, and Leipzig are one of only three teams to have lost five games out of five.

Arsenal romped to a 5-1 victory away to Sporting in Lisbon, as the Portuguese side adapt to life without coach Ruben Amorim, who has departed for Manchester United.

Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Magalhaes all scored in the first half for Arsenal, before Goncalo Inacio pulled one back shortly after the restart.

Bukayo Saka converted a penalty on 65 minutes after Martin Odegaard had been brought down, and Leandro Trossard headed in to seal Arsenal's win late on.

<h2>Atalanta, Atletico hit six</h2>

Atalanta romped to a 6-1 win over rock-bottom Young Boys in Switzerland, with Mateo Retegui and Charles De Ketelaere both scoring braces.

Sead Kolasinac and Lazar Samardzic also netted for the Italians, with Silvere Ganvoula getting the hosts' reply.

Florian Wirtz struck twice, including a penalty, as Leverkusen crushed Red Bull Salzburg 5-0, with Alejandro Grimaldo scoring a superb free-kick and Patrik Schick and Aleix Garcia also netting.

Julian Alvarez and substitute Angel Correa each scored twice and Marcos Llorente and Antoine Griezmann once as Atletico romped to a 6-0 win away to Sparta Prague.

Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham were the scorers in AC Milan's 3-2 win at Slovan Bratislava, whose goals came from Tigran Barseghyan and Nino Marcelli.

Marko Tolic saw red at the end for Slovan, who are without a point.

Champions League: Man City blow three-goal lead at home, Bayern beat PSG

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra opened up on Mohammed Shami’s exit from the side as they were unable to recapture the star pacer in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) mega auction on Sunday (Nov 24). According to Nehra, the side had plans to retain Shami but were eventually out of the race due to high bids logged during the mega auction in Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah. The 34-year-old was eventually sold to SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) for INR 100mn ($1.28mn).

<h2>Nehra opens up on Shami’s exit</h2>

"Whatever he has done for GT and India, I mean he was part of our retention (plans) also. But again, you see retention is that kind of a thing," Nehra told Jio Cinema. "Mohammed Shami, Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Sai Sudharsan -- every team has so many options. Then we had RTM also, that maybe we can use RTM (at the auction) and take him; but the kind of price he went (for).”

It has been over a year since Shami was last in action, having last played in the ODI World Cup final against Australia on 19 Nov 2023. He has since been out due to injury, missing the IPL 2024 and T20 World Cup in the Caribbean. He was recently named in West Bengal’s Ranji Trophy squad, having scalped four wickets on return and is also in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy squad.

On the other hand, GT replaced Shami with another Indian star Mohammed Siraj who will spearhead the bowling attack. The 2022 IPL winners paid INR 125mn ($1.48mn) for Siraj who was not retained by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). GT also got the services of Jos Buttler, who was the most expensive player for the franchise with a valuation of INR 157.5 ($1.86mn).

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra opened up on Mohammed Shami’s exit from the side as they were unable to recapture the star pacer in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) mega auction on Sunday (Nov 24).

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra opened up on Mohammed Shami’s exit from the side as they were unable to recapture the star pacer in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) mega auction on Sunday (Nov 24). According to Nehra, the side had plans to retain Shami but were eventually out of the race due to high bids logged during the mega auction in Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah. The 34-year-old was eventually sold to SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) for INR 100mn ($1.28mn). Nehra opens up on Shami’s exit "Whatever he has done for GT and India, I mean he was part of our retention (plans) also. But again, you see retention is that kind of a thing," Nehra told Jio Cinema. "Mohammed Shami, Shubman Gill, Rashid Khan, Sai Sudharsan -- every team has so many options. Then we had RTM also, that maybe we can use RTM (at the auction) and take him; but the kind of price he went (for).” It has been over a year since Shami was last in action, having last played in the ODI World Cup final against Australia on 19 Nov 2023. He has since been out due to injury, missing the IPL 2024 and T20 World Cup in the Caribbean. He was recently named in West Bengal’s Ranji Trophy squad, having scalped four wickets on return and is also in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy squad.

IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans coach Ashish Nehra explains Mohammed Shami's exit, says 'he was part of...'

Australia star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has heaped praise on Indian great Jasprit Bumrah who helped&nbsp; India win the opening contest of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Monday (Nov 25). Bumrah was in fabulous form in the opening contest while he also captained the side in Rohit Sharma’s absence. Bumrah scalped eight wickets in the match and played a key role in Australia’s record defeat on soil.

<h2>Maxwell in awe of Bumrah</h2>

"It almost feels like his bouncer and his length ball are very similar to where his release point is, and it's really hard to pick up the difference between those and the ball always feels like it's coming back into you and he's got the ability to take the ball away, which just makes it extremely difficult. Bumrah is going to go down as potentially the best fast bowler of all time, maybe not with the amount of wickets he takes in every format,” Maxwell said on the Grade Cricketer Podcast.

India beat Australia by 295 runs in the Perth Test which saw the visitors take a 1-0 lead in the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The stand-in Indian skipper was at the centre of the win having picked a five-for in the first innings of the Perth Test. The Mumbai Indians pacer also played a key role in India’s T20 World Cup win earlier in the year and helped end an 11-year drought for the senior ICC trophy.

<h2>India push for 2-0 lead</h2>

With Rohit Sharma in frame for a return to the Indian side in the pink-ball contest in Adelaide it will be a golden opportunity for the visitors to extend their lead. Rohit’s return to the squad could force either Devdutt Padikkal or Dhruv Jurel out of the Playing XI. This will also mean&nbsp;KL Rahul will drop into the middle order vacating space for Rohit to slot in as Yashasvi Jaiswal’s partner. The second Test match will start on December 6 at the Adelaide Oval.
