Bangladesh starts damage control with BCCI after fallout, Aminul Bulbul runs away to Australia

Dhaka: After Bangladesh refused to travel to India for the T20 World Cup 2026, citing security reasons, the International Cricket Council (ICC) replaced them with Scotland. In response, it was also more-or-less cleared that India won’t be travelling to the neighbouring country for a white-ball series that is scheduled later in the year. However, things have changed drastically after the Bangladesh general election, in which the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) came to power. Aminul Haque was eventually made the new sports minister, who has already started working on damage control with the BCCI, as he understands the revenue BCB can…

Vinicius Jr endured 20 racism allegations in eight years, but UEFA yet to give him justice

New Delhi: Real Madrid’s Champions League play-off against Benfica was temporarily halted for 10 minutes after Vinicius Jr reported alleged racist abuse during the match. The 25-year-old winger scored a banger of a goal from the edge of the box to hand the 15-time champions a much-deserved 1-0 lead and celebrated it with a dance, something that is very common among Brazilian players. The goal could have dominated the headlines, especially after Madrid’s defeat to Benfica in the last league game of the campaign but instead, attention turned to the allegations of racism. Benfica’s Argentine midfielder Gianluca Prestianni was accused…

Arsenal activate SOS mode after 2-2 draw vs Wolves, Premier League shapes for dramatic end

London: Arsenal were the hot favourites to win the Premier League 2025-26 season. Once enjoying a nine-point lead at the top of the table, their advantage has now shrunk to five, following a 2-2 draw against Wolves on Wednesday. With that, for the first time this season, the title race is no longer in their control. If Manchester City win all their remaining 12 matches in the league, the Pep Guardiola side could reclaim the crown. However, en route to the title day, they will be hosting Arsenal at home in the Etihad Arena, which could define the current season.…

Rashid Khan pays tribute to Jonathan Trott ahead of his final game as Afghanistan coach

Chennai: Jonathan Trott had a massive influence on Afghanistan cricket as the former England international transformed the side from perennial underdogs into genuine contenders. In the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Rashid Khan-led side missed the semi-final spot by just a whisker but they made amends with a scintillating show in the T20 World Cup 2024, which was co-hosted by West Indies and USA. In that tournament, Afghanistan qualified for the semi-final and firmly established themselves as a force in world cricket. Trott was initially set to step down after the 2024 edition but doing so would have meant walking…
