<p>Veteran Australian batter David Warner went unsold on the first day of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2025) mega auction as franchises were reluctant to invest in him. Warner, having led SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) to the IPL title in 2016, was one of the big names to be ignored by the franchises. Despite this, the 38-year-old will retain hopes for a second day in case franchises give a second thought to him.</p>

<h2><strong>Warner goes unsold</strong></h2>

<p>One of the best batters of his generation, Warner first tasted IPL cricket in 2009 when he was bought by the Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils). He represented the side until 2013 before switching to SRH, where he enjoyed big success. He played for the side until 2021, helping the side win the IPL 2016 and showing his leadership qualities in the side.</p>

<p>He has scored 6565 runs in 184 matches and smashed 62 fifties in his 16 seasons in the biggest league in the world. Warner is also the highest-scoring foreign player in IPL history but is unlikely to play for any side in the IPL 2025.</p>

<h2><strong>CSK win the bid for Ashwin</strong></h2>

<p>In a tightly contested bidding war between Rajasthan Royals and CSK, it was the South Indian side who won the bid for Ashwin. While both tables did not give up, CSK were determined to get the deal done and paid a whopping price of $1.15 million. Interestingly, the leg spinner was a crowd favourite with both CSK and RR and will bring tonnes of experience to the former.</p>

<p>The veteran spinner has 180 wickets in 212 matches and is a handy batter down the order, giving good utility options to CSK. During his first stint with CSK, he scalped 90 wickets in 98 matches and won the IPL on two occasions in 2010 and 2011. He also won the now-defunct Champions League on two occasions with CSK.</p>

<p>The International Cricket Council (ICC) has called for an emergency meeting with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the future of the Champions Trophy. According to reports, ICC will try to resolve the scheduling issues of the CT with India refusing to travel to Pakistan. The Champions Trophy 2025 is set to be hosted by Pakistan from February 19 to March 9, but clouds of uncertainty linger after BCCI refused to travel to Pakistan.</p>

<h2><strong>ICC to hold meeting with BCCI, PCB</strong></h2>

<p>According to reports from Sports Tak, ICC will meet with representatives of BCCI and PCB on Tuesday (Nov 26) which will focus on convincing either board to stage the Champions Trophy in a smooth manner. ICC will first focus on convincing BCCI to travel to Pakistan, however, if India are reluctant they will look to convince the hosts to move into a hybrid model.</p>

<h2><strong>Champions Trophy to be held in hybrid model?</strong></h2>

<p>As things stand, with less than three months to go for the Champions Trophy to start, Pakistan is not yet confident of hosting the entire tournament with the Indian team reluctant to travel. Pakistan’s proposal to host India’s matches including the final has been rejected by the BCCI, leaving ICC with three options.</p>

<p>Like 2008, the Champions Trophy could be postponed until a solution is met as the ICC could explore the idea. On the other hand, India’s reluctance to travel could force them out of the tournament if they are forfeited. However, that option looks unlikely due to India’s brand value in cricket and Jay Shah set to become the chairperson of the board of directors of ICC.</p>

<p>The hybrid model remains the best option and likely option to host the Champions Trophy with India’s matches to take place outside Pakistan while the rest of the seven teams play in the nation.</p>

<p>It was a dramatic opening day in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Friday (Nov 22) as bowlers headlined with 17 wickets in the Perth Test. Playing at the Optus Stadium, India were bowled out for 150 before Australia closed Day 1 at 67/7. One standout of the day was India’s Nitish Reddy who&nbsp;scored 41, the highest individual scorer as helped the visitors reach triple figures. After the important knock, he revealed on the pep talks from head coach Gautam Gambhir as India looked to establish a first-innings lead.</p>

<h2><strong>Reddy reveals GG's pep talk</strong></h2>

<p>"Even I heard a lot about Perth and I still remember when we were having after the last practice session, I had a chat with Gautam Gambhir sir. He mentioned when you get any bouncers or something like those sharp spells, you just take them on to your shoulders and just feel like you are taking a bullet for your country," Nitish said.</p>

<p>After opting to bat the visitors were blown away in their innings, no match for the hosts' lethal pace attack with Josh Hazlewood taking 4-29. Impressive debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (41) and flamboyant Rishabh Pant (37) showed some spirit but once again superstar Virat Kohli flopped, out for five.</p>

<p>Bumrah removed rookie opener Nathan McSweeney lbw for 10, another headache for a team struggling to find a decent replacement for the retired David Warner. Marnus Labuschagne had a massive let-off two balls later, with Kohli putting down a sitter in the slips, leaving Bumrah with his head in his hands. But India quickly snared another breakthrough with Kohli this time holding the catch off Bumrah to remove Usman Khawaja (8), and when Steve Smith was trapped lbw next ball, it was game on.</p>

FFF rejects PSG request in Kylian Mbappe 55mn euros back pay dispute

<p>Premier League clubs voted to amend sponsorship rules on Friday despite calls from some clubs, including champions Manchester City, to delay any agreement.</p>

<p>City challenged the league's associated party transaction (APT) rules, which assess whether deals between clubs and entities linked to their ownership represent fair market value, on competition law grounds earlier this year.</p>

<p>Since a takeover from Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, vice president of the United Arab Emirates, in 2008, City have become the dominant force in English football.</p>

<p>But their rivals have questioned the legitimacy of major sponsorship contracts from companies with links to Abu Dhabi.</p>

<p>The APT case was unrelated to the 115 Premier League charges that City face for historical breaches of the competition's financial regulations.</p>

<p>An arbitration panel found aspects of the previous APT rules unlawful, sparking a disagreement between City and the league over the appropriate next steps.</p>

<p>The English top flight said in its summary that City were "unsuccessful in the majority of (their) challenge" and that the tribunal considering the case had determined the APT rules were necessary and pursued a legitimate objective.</p>

<p>But City, in their own statement, said the tribunal had declared the league had abused a dominant position under competition law.</p>

<p>The major change to the rules is to include shareholder loans as APTs and apply a fair market interest rate.</p>

<p>City had support for a postponement from Aston Villa, whose owner Nassef Sawiris told the Daily Telegraph earlier this week that a delay was needed to achieve unanimity on the rules.</p>

<p>Nottingham Forest and Saudi-backed Newcastle also voted against the rule change, which passed with a 16-4 majority in favour from the other Premier League clubs.</p>

<p>"The amendments to the rules address the findings of an arbitration tribunal following a legal challenge by Manchester City to the APT system earlier this year," the Premier League said in a statement.</p>
