Earlier, a few media reports had claimed that Shami had suffered a setback in his rehabilitation while recovering from a knee injury. According to the reports he had a swollen knee and could have seen him miss the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

However, according to Shami, he can still be available for the BGT as India look to extend their dominant run in the red-ball format against the Aussies.

World football's governing body FIFA made no verdict either way Thursday on a Palestinian request to suspend Israel, instead launching committee investigations to inform an eventual decision.&nbsp;

At FIFA's congress in Bangkok in May, the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) called for its Israeli counterpart to be suspended and for Israeli teams to be banned from FIFA events.

FIFA was initially set to hold an extraordinary session of its ruling council before July 20 to review the independent legal analysis and decide how to proceed.

However the deadline was pushed back to give legal experts more time to complete a report.

At the organisation's headquarters in Zurich on Thursday, the FIFA council adopted the recommendations and conclusions reached in the legal analysis.

It decided that its disciplinary committee would be mandated to investigate the alleged offence of discrimination raised by the PFA.

Meanwhile the FIFA governance, audit and compliance committee "will be entrusted with the mission to investigate -- and subsequently advise the FIFA Council on -- the participation in Israeli competitions of Israeli football teams allegedly based in the territory of Palestine."

FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in a statement: "The FIFA Council has implemented due diligence on this very sensitive matter and, based on a thorough assessment, we have followed the advice of the independent experts.

"The ongoing violence in the region confirms that, above all considerations... we need peace.

"As we remain extremely shocked by what is happening, and our thoughts are with those who are suffering, we urge all parties to restore peace to the region with immediate effect."

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auctions fast approaching, teams are gearing up for a crucial period as they look to put together a specific strategy to get the best deal done. With the auctions set to take place in the next couple of months, former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) player Mohammed Kaif has urged the franchise to sign Mumbai Indians star Rohit Sharma in case he is available for the auctions.

<h2>Kaif backs RCB for Mumbai Indians star</h2>

"RCB should take this chance. Somehow convince Rohit and make him the captain. He might not score that much as a batter, he scores forties and fifties, but I believe Rohit knows how to build a playing eleven very well," Kaif said while speaking on Star Sports.

According to early reports in June, Mumbai Indians were considering releasing Rohit, however, recent news could come as a spanner in the work for the IPL franchise. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has approved up to five retentions and one Right to Match (RTM) card. This means Mumbai Indians can retain the likes of Rohit, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav.

RCB, on the other hand, will look to put in a strategy for the mega auctions as they will certainly retain Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj for the IPL 2025. Eyes will be also on the likes of Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis, who could also get retained for the side.

<h2>Rules for IPL auctions</h2>

The five retained players will cost INR 750 million ($9mn) for IPL teams, while each can retain as many as six players from their current squad. There is no cap on Indian and foreign players and so franchises like Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings can breathe a sigh of relief as they face complications in retaining their star names.

Teams will be given a purse of INR 1.15-1.20 billion ($13.7-14.3 million) a significant increase for franchisees to spend. This could also mean for the first time IPL’s net spend in a season could reach above INR 10 billion ($120 million).

France will be without injured captain Kylian Mbappe as the star striker continues to recover from a thigh injury sustained last month. Coach Didier Deschamps announced the French squad for the upcoming Nations League on Thursday (Oct 3) that will miss two big names as Antoine Griezmann also announced his decision to retire from international football. Mbappe’s absence could make a huge difference to the 2018 World Champions' bid to win back-to-back Nations League titles.

<h2>Mbappe out of France&nbsp;squad</h2>

"I had an exchange with Kylian. He has a problem which is not serious. I am not going to take risks, which is why he is not in the squad," Deschamps told reporters in Paris.

"He had such an impact that we can't play in the same way," Deschamps said of losing Griezmann, who quit aged 33 after winning 137 caps.

"I am not necessarily going to change the system, but I am not going to look for an equivalent player."

France play Israel on Thursday, October 10, in an away fixture moved to Budapest due to the security situation in the Middle East.

Les Bleus, Nations League winners in 2021, will then take on Belgium in Brussels on Monday, October 14.

France have three points after their first two outings in Group A2, which is topped by Italy with six points.

India will eye their maiden T20 World Cup title as Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. set their eyes on the trophy. The Women’s T20 World Cup is all set to start on Thursday (Oct 3) with 10 teams competing for the top prize. Ahead of the tournament, opener Harmanpreet spoke on Team India’s preparations and stated that she is happy with the team.

<h2>India ready for T20 World Cup</h2>

“I think that is something we keep learning every day. Because when you win, sometimes you feel, OK, that is something I have achieved. But at the same time, the next day when you go, you may make small mistakes. And I think that is part of the game. And I think learning is something which is never going to stop, every day is a learning day,” Harmanpreet added. &nbsp;

“Every day I'm going and learning and getting experience from every game. Yeah, I think people around me, they are helping me, they are working hard to make our team go at that level where we want to be. I am happy with where our team is, like how our team is working hard to achieve small, small things,” Harmanpreet added. &nbsp;

India have been so near yet so far in the competition having missed out on the World Cup title in 2020. They lost in the final before the COVID-19 outbreak while they lost in the semis in the 2018 and 2023 editions. Interestingly, India came close to winning the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games before they were undone by Australia in 2022. India have also previously lost an ODI World Cup final to England, giving a close account of how good the team has been.

Women's T20 World Cup: Harmanpreet Kaur backs Team India for success, says 'I am happy with where the team is'

It was yet another chaotic evening in Pakistan cricket on Tuesday (Oct 1),&nbsp;Babar Azam handed in his resignation to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) from white-ball captaincy. This is the second time in less than 12 months that the veteran batter has handed in&nbsp; his resignation from the captaincy role, highlighting the lack of proper management in the nation’s apex cricket body. However, the PCB has adored his commitment to the side and accepted his resignation.

<h2>PCB adores Babar’s commitment</h2>

“Although the PCB had backed Babar Azam as the white-ball captain, his decision to step down reflects his desire to focus more on making a greater impact as a player. This decision is a testament to his professionalism and commitment to Pakistan cricket. He believes that dedicating himself fully to his batting will enable him to play a more decisive role in the team’s success in the shorter formats,” said PCB in a statement.

Babar has been in a poor run of form in recent times and was on the gunshot of plenty of criticism. Part of the criticism came in the recently concluded Test series against Bangladesh, where the hosts lost 0-2, an embarrassing defeat on home soil.

Babar, who was reinstated as the captain of the white-ball side in March, had earlier resigned from all forms after the conclusion of the ODI World Cup in India. Pakistan were eliminated in the league phase of the tournament. He was again at the centre of criticism after they were eliminated in the group stage of the T20 World Cup in the United States and the West Indies.

It is now speculated that Babar will be dropped from the T20 squad and will be available only for the ODI and Test squads to reduce the burden on his shoulders. He will have a point to prove in the upcoming Test series against England, which will serve as a litmus test for Babar, whose form has&nbsp;hit a rough patch.

Carlos Alcaraz roared back from a set down to beat world number one Jannik Sinner in a thriller and win his first China Open title on Wednesday.

The four-time Grand Slam champion from Spain edged Sinner in a captivating final 6-7 (6/8), 6-4, 7-6 (7/3) for his fourth ATP crown of the year and 16th overall.

Alcaraz, who is set to return to number two in the world behind Sinner, was 3-0 down in the final-set tie-break only to fight back and win in three hours, 21 minutes.

The dramatic triumph ended Sinner's run of 14 victories in a row and saw him deposed as the Beijing champion after an intense&nbsp;fight.

"What can I say about the year you're having, it's unbelievable," Alcaraz told Sinner at the victory presentation.

"I respect you a lot as a player, but even more as a person."

US Open champion Sinner has been playing in Beijing under fresh scrutiny.

The Italian has admitted to sleepless nights over his doping case, which was reignited at the weekend when the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said it had appealed the decision to clear him.

In front of a packed house in the Chinese capital, the early exchanges were nervy, with both players under immediate pressure on their service games.

Sinner, 23, was the first to blink, with second-seeded Alcaraz breaking for a 3-1 lead and celebrating with a fist pump.

The Spaniard held easily for 4-1 and had his opponent uncharacteristically rattled.

Alcaraz, 21, served for the set, but US Open champion Sinner grabbed the break, when he needed it most.

Sinner then saved set point on his own serve to force the tie break, and saved another in the tie break before taking the set at his first opportunity when Alcaraz fired long.

It was the first set Alcaraz had dropped all week.

The second set was just as tight.&nbsp;

Both players saw chances come and go, but they went with the serve until Alcaraz broke for 5-4, before holding with ease to send the final into a third set.

The decider again went to a tie break, where Alcaraz finally prevailed on his first match point.

"It was a great battle again," said Sinner, who twice tested positive for a steroid in March, but tennis authorities cleared him of wrongdoing and allowed him to keep playing.

In August, the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) accepted Sinner's explanation that the drug entered his system unintentionally when his physiotherapist used a spray containing it to treat a cut, then provided massage and sports therapy to the player.

WADA on Saturday said it had appealed and was seeking a ban of up to two years.

<h2>Ruthless Sabalenka</h2>

In the women's draw, top seed Aryna Sabalenka won her 15th match in a row to power into the quarter-finals with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Madison Keys.

The US Open champion will face Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic.

World number two Sabalenka has won more matches on tour this season than anyone else and extended her red-hot streak with a fairly routine victory over the 24th-ranked American.

Sabalenka is on a collision course in the semi-finals with China's Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen, who faces 43rd-ranked Amanda Anisimova in the last 16 later Wednesday.
