Despite the criticism and poor show in the Test format, Pakistan selection committee has retained faith in Shan Masood as the skipper of the side. In the 15-man squad announced for the first Test match, Pakistan will field an experienced squad consisting of Aamer Jamal, who returns after sustaining a back injury. Noman Ali is also given the nod in the side after having missed the Bangladesh series as Pakistan look to get back on track in the red-ball format.

<h2>Pakistan announce squad for Test series</h2>

With England visiting the Asian side who have been on a barren run of 10 Test matches without a win on home turf, Pakistan have shown faith in proven quality. Saud Shakeel will be the vice-captain of the side with Sarfaraz Ahmed being the wicketkeeping option. Former Test skipper Babar Azam has also retained his place in the side, while Shaheen&nbsp;Shah Afridi, who missed one of the Test matches against Bangladesh, also keeps his place intact.

The hosts have been winless in their last 10 matches on home turf, losing six matches and drawing four. During this period, they have suffered losses to Australia and England and drew against New Zealand on home turf. However, the side’s biggest embarrassment was in the Bangladesh series where they were beaten comprehensively.

Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur is confident her squad can go all the way to win the T20 World Cup which is set to start in the UAE from October 3. Indian women's team skipper Harmanpreet has praised&nbsp;her side, claiming that this is the best team she has got compared to all previous editions. India will have a unique opportunity to be the world champions in the T20 format for both men and women if Harmanpreet and her army go on to repeat the heroics of Rohit Sharma and Co.&nbsp;who lifted the title in the West Indies in June.

<h2>Harmanpreet is confident of India’s success</h2>

"If I talk about this team, we have a few players who have been playing for a long time and they know their roles really well," Harmanpreet said at the pre-departure press conference in Mumbai. "I can say that this is the best team we are going for a T20 World Cup with."

"Pooja [Vastrakar] is doing well and Renuka [Singh] is supporting her really well. She [Renuka] is someone who is always giving us breakthroughs. Arundhati [Reddy] is someone who can always come and bowl a few overs for the team and bat in the deep,” Harmanpreet added.

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.

However, according to the experienced skipper, India have the best squad and should go all the way to winning the title.&nbsp;

The Women in Blue will start their campaign against New Zealand on October 4 before squaring off against arch-rivals Pakistan on consequent Sunday (Oct&nbsp;6). India will also take on Sri Lanka (Oct 9) and former champions Australia (Oct 13) in the group stage before the knockout stage begins.

Women's T20 World Cup: Harmanpreet Kaur backs India to go all the way, says 'this is the best team'

West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui insists he can learn from his mistakes as he prepares the Hammers for their League Cup third-round tie away to holders Liverpool, following a chastening defeat by Chelsea in the Premier League.

Lopetegui's men lost 3-0 to their London rivals on Saturday, with the 58-year-old Spaniard under fire for his tactics and team selection.

The former Spain and Real Madrid boss replaced Guido Rodriguez before half-time and later admitted he had erred in starting with the Argentina midfielder.

"We learn a lot from our mistakes," Lopetegui told a pre-match press conference on Tuesday.&nbsp;

"But let me just say one thing. When you win you make mistakes too. When you lose you make mistakes. This is football.

"One thing that I say, that I make one mistake -- and I have talked about this. Mistakes are a part of football.

"The more important thing is that we are able to do better. We have (made) a big commitment with the players, knowing that the most important thing is at the end of the season."

West Ham, beaten in the League Cup quarter-finals by Liverpool last season, have lost all three home league games this season under Lopetegui, who replaced David Moyes in May.

The Hammers are currently 14th in the table, with four points from two away games -- a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace and a 1-1 draw at Fulham.

"I told the media after (the Chelsea game) that the first person responsible was me. Always," Lopetegui said. "It happened and now we are focused on the next match.

"Mistakes are made by the coach. They are part of football because we make decisions -- sometimes better, sometimes worse.

"But we have to keep making decisions to help the team to compete better. I am sure that the team is going to compete better and is going to arrive at the results and scores that we want."

India’s Ishan Kishan has kept his hopes of a return to the senior side after being picked for the Irani Cup on Tuesday (Sep 24). Ishan, who represented India C in the Duleep Trophy, will now wear the Rest of India badge but will face stern competition from Dhruv Jurel, who will also be in the squad in case he is not in the Indian team for the Kanpur Test starting on Friday (Sep 27). The Irani Cup contest will be played from 1-5 October in Lucknow.

<h2>Ishan keeps hopes alive for India return</h2>

The Indian southpaw has been out of favour ever since withdrawing from the South Africa tour and failing to represent Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy last season. Ishan was also stripped from the central contract last season along with Shreyas Iyer. Ishan scored 111 against India B but failed miserably in the rest of the three innings combing 23 runs during the Duleep Trophy.

On the other hand, Jurel will be part of the team in case he is not picked for the Indian team for the Kanpur Test. The same goes for Sarfaraz and Yash Dayal who are with the Indian team but are unlikely to make the Playing XI for the Kanpur Test. In this case, Sarfaraz will represent Mumbai for whom he had flourished last season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insists he has moved on from the Erling Haaland row as his side prepares for the League Cup tie against Bolton Wanderers on Wednesday (Sep 25). Arsenal, who&nbsp;almost won at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League were denied three points after John Stones scored a stoppage-time equaliser. After the goal, Haaland was deemed to have thrown a ball at Gabriel Jesus while there were also words exchanged between the Norwegian and Arteta.

<h2>Arteta moves on from Haaland row</h2>

"We have already moved on and we are now ready to battle again tomorrow," Arteta said while addressing the pre-match press conference ahead of the Bolton clash.

"The team, the desire that they have to compete in any context, to win, to adapt to different circumstances, different competitions, different ways of playing and handle that emotionally and physically, the way we've done it is superb."

The game at the Etihad Stadium saw both sides give their best with Arsenal taking the lead after Haaland had scored the opening goal. However, the referee was in the spotlight for two decisions that influenced the match. Arsenal pushed for an attack while the City skipper was out of position and speaking to referee Michael Oliver. On the other hand, Leandro Trossard was shown a second yellow card for kicking the ball away while he was already on a yellow card.

After City’s equaliser tempers flared as Haaland first threw the ball at Jesus which was not inspected by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) while the Norwegian attempted to shoulder push Thomas Partey after Arsenal restarted the match. He was not done there as he also exchanged words with Arteta after the match was over.

The 2-2 draw between Man City and Arsenal also meant both sides are unbeaten at the start of the Premier League season. Both are expected to give a tough fight for the Premier League title having been on the rise for the last two seasons.

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Boxing Day Test likely to set new record as unprecedented ticket sales expected

Australia were indebted to Alex Carey as they beat England by 68 runs in the second one-day international at Headingley on Saturday to go 2-0 up in a five-match series.

The world champions were in trouble at 221-9 after losing the toss.

But Carey made a dashing 74, with the wicketkeeper dominating a last-wicket stand of 49 with Josh Hazlewood that took Australia to 270 all out.

That proved more than enough as a new-look England, who collapsed to 65-5, were dismissed for 202 with nearly 10 overs remaining. None of their batsmen made a fifty, with Jamie Smith's 49 merely delaying a defeat that had long looked inevitable.

This was Australia's 14th consecutive ODI win, with only the Australia 2003 World Cup-winning side led by Ricky Ponting, enjoying a longer unbeaten run at this level of 21 straight victories.

Mitchell Starc (3-50) and Hazlewood (2-54) struck early in England's reply after the veteran fast bowlers missed Australia's seven-wicket success at Trent Bridge on Thursday with illness.

"They (England) bowled really well up front and got us in a bit of trouble, Josh Hazlewood did a fantastic job," player-of-the-match Carey told Sky Sports.

<h2>Bit short</h2>

Australia captain Mitchell Marsh, who made a valuable 60, added: "I think these days 270 always feels a little bit short. But we knew it was a new wicket and if we got early wickets we had a chance.&nbsp;

"It really goes to show those little tail-ender partnerships are really important."

England skipper Harry Brook said: "We lost our way in the powerplay and it didn't quite come off."

England's reply was derailed when Hazlewood had opener Phil Salt edging behind, while initially wayward left-armer Starc removed Will Jacks for a golden duck thanks to a fine diving catch at second slip by Matthew Short.

Starc's brilliant inswinging yorker then had local hero Brook lbw for just four.

England were in an even worse position at 65-5 after paceman Aaron Hardie took two wickets in two balls.

Ben Duckett, who made 95 at Trent Bridge, was deceived on 32 by Hardie's slower ball as the bowler held a fine return catch.

Next ball, Liam Livingstone became the second golden duck of the innings when he was brilliantly caught down the legside by the diving Carey, only recalled this series after Josh Inglis was injured.

Earlier, Marsh was the only member of Australia's top order to make more than 29.

But Carey's superb 67-ball innings, including eight fours and three well-struck sixes, kept Australia in the game.

England might have feared the worst when Travis Head, fresh from his career-best 154 not out on Thursday, hit sixes off both Matthew Potts and Brydon Carse.

But Head, fell for 29 when the left-hander flicked Carse straight to deep backward square leg, with Australia 89-3 when Steve Smith was bowled for just four by a superb Potts late inswinger.

Marnus Labuschagne, 77 not out at Trent Bridge, only managed 19 before mistiming a pull off Jacob Bethell to mid-on.

Australia lost three wickets for five runs in 10 balls to be 221-9.

But Carey went to fifty in style by driving off-spinner Jacks for six before he was last man out.

The series continues at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday.

Australia were indebted to Alex Carey as they beat England by 68 runs in the second one-day international at Headingley on Saturday to go 2-0 up in a five-match series.

Australia were indebted to Alex Carey as they beat England by 68 runs in the second one-day international at Headingley on Saturday to go 2-0 up in a five-match series. The world champions were in trouble at 221-9 after losing the toss. But Carey made a dashing 74, with the wicketkeeper dominating a last-wicket stand of 49 with Josh Hazlewood that took Australia to 270 all out. That proved more than enough as a new-look England, who collapsed to 65-5, were dismissed for 202 with nearly 10 overs remaining. None of their batsmen made a fifty, with Jamie Smith's 49 merely delaying a defeat that had long looked inevitable. This was Australia's 14th consecutive ODI win, with only the Australia 2003 World Cup-winning side led by Ricky Ponting, enjoying a longer unbeaten run at this level of 21 straight victories. Mitchell Starc (3-50) and Hazlewood (2-54) struck early in England's reply after the veteran fast bowlers missed Australia's seven-wicket success at Trent Bridge on Thursday with illness. "They (England) bowled really well up front and got us in a bit of trouble, Josh Hazlewood did a fantastic job," player-of-the-match Carey told Sky Sports.
