Afghanistan will prepare for the 2015 World Cup with a two-week camp in Pakistan, coach Kabir Khan has said. The camp is scheduled to begin on April 15 in Karachi and former captains Aamir Sohail and Rashid Latif will also be working with the side’s batsmen and wicketkeepers.”We have a full year of events starting with the Asian Cricket Council Trophy next month and the excitement will reach the highest point with the World Cup, and we have planned a two-week camp in Karachi from April 15,” Khan told .Afghanistan secured their maiden World Cup qualification in October last year, after finishing second in the World Cricket League Championship with a victory over Kenya. The win capped off a remarkable run for Afghanistan five years after they began their cricketing journey by winning Division Five of the World Cricket League.Earlier in March, Afghanistan participated in their first Asia Cup and beat hosts Bangladesh. They had a poor World Twenty20, though, winning only one of their three first-round matches, and failed to qualify for the main draw. They also went down to Nepal in the league stages.”We had a few good results in the Asia Cup where we beat the hosts Bangladesh,” Khan said. “But our batsmen did not handle pressure well in the World Twenty20.”Sohail said he was aiming at making the players more competitive at the World Cup next year. “It will definitely be fun to coach the exciting players from Afghanistan and I will try to make them competitive enough to play against the world´s best teams next year,” he said.Afghanistan were given a grant of $1 million by the ICC after qualifying for the World Cup and the governing body has also arranged camps in Australia and New Zealand later this year. Afghanistan are placed in Group A of the draw alongside Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and England and will play their first match on February 18, 2015 against Bangladesh.

Daniel Jr marca pelo Palmeiras sub-17 e enaltece campanha no Brasileiro

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras consolidou seu grande momento no Campeonato Brasileiro sub-17. Nesta terça-feira, a equipe goleou o Atlético-MG, fora de casa, por 5 a 1 e disparou na liderança do grupo A com 22 pontos em oito rodadas – sete vitórias e um empate.

Um dos destaques da partida foi o meia-atacante Daniel Júnior, que marcou seu segundo gol na competição nacional. O jogador, inclusive, é o artilheiro do Palmeiras no Campeonato Paulista sub-17 com sete gols, dois a menos que os líderes.

– O Brasileiro é um campeonato muito importante para a nossa categoria, enfrentamos equipes do Brasil todo, então é sempre importante vencer e contribuir com gols. Fico feliz em deixar a minha marca, busco sempre o meu melhor dentro de campo e as coisas estão acontecendo – ressaltou Daniel.

Com o triunfo sobre o Atlético-MG, o Palmeiras manteve a melhor campanha do torneio. Boa fase que se estende ao Estadual da categoria, no qual o Verdão é líder do grupo 7 com 21 pontos em 7 jogos, além de ter o melhor ataque do torneio com 47 gols marcados.

– Nosso grupo é muito forte e isso tem feito a diferença, pois quem entra mantém o nível. Isso é importante para que possamos brigar lá em cima nas duas competições. Que possamos seguir nesta pegada e ir atrás dos dois títulos – completou Daniel.

Segue o líder! Palmeiras vence o Avaí e vai invicto para pausa do Brasileiro

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras venceu o Avaí por 2 a 0, na noite desta quinta-feira, no Allianz Parque, em São Paulo, pela última rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro antes da paralisação para a Copa América. Os gols de Deyverson e Bruno Henrique, em uma partida em que o Verdão não encontrou qualquer tipo de dificuldade, fez a equipe chegar também a dez vitórias seguidas na temporada (contando com o jogo sub judice diante do Botafogo), o que não ocorria desde 2008. Quase 32 mil torcedores foram ao estádio “se despedir” do Palmeiras antes deste recesso do meio de ano.

Com o resultado, o Palmeiras chegou a 22 pontos e ficará um mês, ao menos, na liderança do Campeonato Brasileiro, já que a competição entra em paralisação e retorna somente após a Copa América. O Avaí ficará na ponta oposta por este período, pelo menos: tem quatro pontos, na lanterna. No fim de semana dos dias 13 e 14, o torneio volta: o Verdão faz o clássico com o São Paulo, no Morumbi, e o Avaí visita o Fortaleza. Antes, dia 10 de julho, o Palmeiras pega o Internacional pela Copa do Brasil.

TENTATIVAS EM VÃO
Como era de se esperar, o Palmeiras, brigando pela liderança, iria dominar a partida diante do Avaí, que briga para fugir da lanterna do Brasileiro. Desde o minuto inicial, os comandados de Felipão pressionaram e criaram diversas tentativas, que acabaram sendo em vão. Felipe Melo, Zé Rafael, Diogo Barbosa e Edu Dracena chegaram com perigo, mas pecaram na hora da finalização – a melhor destas tentativas foi a última, aos 18, quando Dracena aproveitou cruzamento de Lucas Lima e tirou tinta da trave.

GOL COM ACERTO DO VAR
Aos 31 minutos, mais uma vez o árbitro de vídeo ganhou destaque no futebol brasileiro e, de novo, demorando muito para checar o lance – o que ainda precisa de melhora nas competições da CBF. Deyverson recebeu a bola em posição legal, encobriu o goleiro Vladimir e estufou as redes do Avaí, colocando o Palmeiras na frente, 1 a 0. O auxiliar assinalou impedimento, o VAR foi chamado pelo árbitro Marcelo de Lima Henrique e, depois de mais de três minutos, corretamente, o gol foi validado.

ADMINISTRA E AMPLIA!
No segundo tempo, com superioridade técnica, o Palmeiras passou a administrar a vitória. E, mesmo assim, o Avaí não conseguiu criar e aproveitar a menor pressão do rival. Apesar disto, o Verdão ampliou o marcador aos 20 minutos com Bruno Henrique, recebendo de Lucas Lima e batendo forte para o gol catarinense. Vitória tranquila do Palmeiras, 2 a 0, merecido pelo desempenho apresentado. Continuando desta forma, no retorno do Brasileiro, o time de Luiz Felipe Scolari será o que deverá ser batido pelos rivais na luta pelo título.

Ajmal's career best outwits Essex

Saeed Ajmal took 13 wickets in the match as he outwitted Essex and kept Worcestershire at the top of the Second Division

Monty Panesar may be the England frontline-spinner-in-waiting, but he was outbowled in this match by Pakistan’s finest exponent, Saeed Ajmal, who took seven for 19 in Essex’s second innings and 13 wickets in all.Essex needed 209 to beat Worcestershire, only six more runs than they managed in their first innings, but a combination of Ajmal’s subtlety, turn and low bounce in a pitch that was submerged in 11 foot of water only a couple of months ago was too much for them. Their batting was none too impressive, either.Indeed, both coaches, Paul Grayson and Steve Rhodes, lamented the batting in general. Essex, given that Panesar had taken five Worcestershire second innings wickets for just 23, should have come considerably closer to reaching their target. They took the decision to send Mark Pettini in at the top of the order, reasoning that as many quick runs should be scored as possible before Ajmal was introduced into the attack. It did not really work.Jack Shantry removed both him and Tom Westley before Ajmal came on – rather later than anticipated. Essex by then were 50 for 2 and it was quite apparent that his bowling would determine the outcome of the match.Shantry, in fact, took a third wicket, having Jaik Mickleburgh stumped won the leg side, overbalancing, by the impressive Ben Cox, but the next seven wickets went to one bowler – and with some rapidity. Cox, incidentally, sought out James Foster, his opposite number, for advice at the end of the match.Worcestershire had won, and gone to the top of the second division table, by 3 pm. Greg Smith was yorked, Jesse Ryder leg before half forward – 15 batsmen were given out lbw in this match, quite a few on the front foot – Foster bowled by a quicker one that kept low; Graham Napier, who might have been promoted to have a hit, caught well by first slip, Ross Whiteley, when the ball deflected off Daryl Mitchell’s foot at second slip; Ben Foakes and Matt Salisbury were also leg before; and Panesar launched an ambitious drive at his first ball and was caught and bowled.So seven to Ajmal and 13 for 94 in the match, a career best. In six appearances for Worcestershire, in 2011 and now, he has taken 45 wickets: not a bad signing. “A world-class spinner,” as Grayson called him. “The pitch didn’t deteriorate that much. We didn’t bat well, we gave away too many runs. We are not achieving big enough totals and that is why we are still a Second Division side.”As for Worcestershire, who have now won all three of their Championship matches at New Road this season, the amount of fielding practice they have undergone this season is paying off. Their catching close to the wicket was particularly impressive in this fixture.”Although neither side batted well, Saeed showed what a wonderful spinner he is,” said Rhodes. “Ben Cox is really showing his presence when standing up – he gives us another dimension. His stumping today off Shantry was outstanding, as was his catch from a doosra on the second day.”Foster discussed wicketkeeping technique with Cox before the Essex coach departed, which was good to see: there is not merely a fast bowlers union. He is one to watch. As Cox said: “Batters don’t leave the ball so much when I am up to the stumps. I see my job as a busy one – I have to be the colonel of everyone in the field.”

تين هاج عن أزمة سانشو: مانشستر يونايتد طالبني بوضع حدود صارمة

كسر إريك تين هاج المدير الفني لفريق مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي، صمته بشأن الوضع مع لاعبه جادون سانشو، بعد التطورات الأخيرة للموقف بين الطرفين.

وأعلن مانشستر يونايتد في بيان رسمي أمس الخميس، أن سانشو سيتدرب بصورة منفردة بعيدًا عن الفريق الأول، كإجراء تأديبي.

وأفادت تقارير أن النادي طالب سانشو بالاعتذار لتين هاج، لكن اللاعب رفض، وهو ما دفعهم لاتخاذ قرار تدريبه منفردًا.

ويأتي ذلك على خلفية قول اللاعب إنه “كبش فداء” ردًا على تصريحات تين هاج بأن سبب استبعاد سانشو من مباراة مانشستر يونايتد وآرسنال، هو أداء الأخير في التدريبات.

وخلال مؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة، سُئل تين هاج عن سانشو، وقال: “النادي طلب مني وضع حدود صارمة، لأنه لم تكن هناك ثقافة جيدة قبل الموسم الماضي، لذلك كان ينبغي وضع معايير جيدة”.

وأضاف: “هذا ما فعلته ومن وظيفتي التحكم في المعايير، لا يرتكب أي شخص خطأً واحدًا أبدًا، إنها عملية كاملة قبل التوصل إلى نتيجة معينة بشأن الحدود الصارمة، هناك هيكل لتجاوز الحدود لذا عليك أن تكون قوياً”.

وعندما تم الضغط عليه أكثر، للحديث عن موقف سانشو، أشار تين هاج: “أعتقد أن كل شيء قد قيل”.

وأتم مدرب مانشستر يونايتد: “الفريق قوي، في حالة معنوية جيدة ومزاج جيد قبل المباراة (ضد برايتون) غدًا”.

Cook heard Pradeep inside edge

While his team launched into a celebratory huddle, Alastair Cook knew what he had heard. The edge from Nuwan Pradeep into his pad, which Paul Reiffel missed, was big enough for Cook to pick it from slip

While his team launched into a celebratory huddle, Alastair Cook knew what he had heard. The edge from Nuwan Pradeep into his pad, which Paul Reiffel missed, was big enough for Cook to pick it from slip. A few moments later the DRS confirmed that what, for seconds, was a Test victory had been snatched away from them.Then, to add to the agony for the England captain, he watched the last ball of the Test fall agonisingly short of second slip. Stuart Broad fell to his knees and the slips stood motionless until the handshakes started.”I didn’t really move too far from my bar stool at first slip,” Cook said. “I did think he nicked it but they everyone started saying it was two pads, so I kind of got excited. But it was a big noise.”He had a wry smile when it was put to him that the decision was vindication of the DRS, a system that England have always been a supporter of and that, last year, England were grateful for when it confirmed Brad Haddin out at Trent Bridge to secure a 14-run win. “Yeah,” he said, with the hint of a laugh. “I’ve always been a big fan of it, it’s to stop the howler and unfortunately that was a big inside edge. It’s gutting to take at that time.”But there was the lbw before the new ball from Chris Jordan which was overturned because it was the right decision. As players you want the right decision, even if it’s not great at this precise moment in time when it’s taken a Test win away but it was the right decision.”The fact England reached the final over needing two wickets for victory, which became one when Broad had Rangana Herath gloving down the leg side – although replays showed Herath’s glove was off the bat – was testament to some tireless work either side of tea, sparked by James Anderson’s removal of Mahela Jayawardene during a wonderful spell of reverse swing, and then a powerful burst with the new ball which reduced Sri Lanka from 159 for 2 with the game seemingly dead.”At tea it looked quite a long way away but when you get so close and then get a decision which wins you a Test overturned it’s quite hard to take,” Cook said. “But it was a great Test, that’s what it’s about, to go all the way down to the wire and for both sides to leave nothing out there.”Cook showed invention in the field during the match, although largely in the final session after England waited desperately for the ball to reverse, but acknowledged that an 8-1 field which appeared after tea – including a circle of close catchers on the off side – had been the work of Anderson. “I wish I could take credit, but I can’t.” he said.With England coming so close to victory there will inevitably be further debate of Cook’s declaration which came before play on the final morning rather than late on the fourth day to give his quicks an early dart with new ball.Cook said the batting collapse on Sunday afternoon – which left them 121 for 6, a lead of 243 – had cost them valuable time, meaning they could not accelerate until the closing overs. In the end, England made 59 runs in seven overs – which included Ballance reaching his maiden hundred with a six – although there remained an argument that the foot could have been put on the throttle when the lead passed 300.”If you’d declared at 330-340 on that wicket it would have been a very fair chase,” Cook said. “At 100 for 1 at lunch, 320 would have looked a very short total. The four wickets just after lunch cost us without shadow of a doubt and give Sri Lanka credit there. We tried to play positively to give us a chance of declaring that night but they made it difficult for us.”There were also 17 overs lost in the match due to slow over-rates, six of those on the day England were in the field throughout on Saturday, and speaking to Sky Sports Cook admitted that had not been ideal.But he was delighted with the way his team played throughout the Test, their first outing in the format since the conclusion of the 5-0 Ashes whitewash in Australia. Only five players from Sydney remained, but most of the new or recalled players produced significant roles in the match.”We’ve made quite a lot of the running in this Test. To lose the toss, be put in and make 580 you have a great chance,” he said. “We were ahead throughout the game so can take a lot from that.”We scored at a really good rate. If we’d gone at three runs an over we wouldn’t have been in that position with a chance to win. Joe Root was outstanding with a double and Gary Ballance showed his class at international level, not many people have seen it and it will be great for his confidence from a tricky position at No. 3. All the new guys came in and made an impact.”It will be the same players travelling up to Headingley after an unchanged squad was confirmed, the playing XI plus Chris Woakes, but it is unlikely that Woakes will push himself into the side. There was a suggestion that Broad may have been suffering a niggle towards the end of the match, when he was replaced by Liam Plunkett for one over, but Cook said it had just been a hunch. It was a hunch that did not quite work.

Trauco tem ofertas para deixar o Fla; Agente quer ouvir 'os planos do clube'

MatériaMais Notícias

Semifinalista da Copa América com a seleção do Peru, Miguel Trauco está no radar de clubes europeus. O estafe do jogador já recebeu propostas e, agora, aguarda o fim do torneio para definir o futuro do lateral-esquerdo de 26 anos.

Depois da decisão de domingo, contra o Brasil no Maracanã, a tendência é de que o futuro de Trauco não demore a ser definido. A permanência na Gávea, apesar do contrato até 31 de dezembro, não é garantida para o segundo semestre de 2019. José Chacon, empresário do lateral-esquerdo, pretende reunir-se em breve com a direção para saber os planos do clube para o atleta.

Os clubes interessados em contar com Miguel Trauco são mantidos em sigilo pelo estafe do jogador. O Flamengo, oficialmente, ainda não foi procurado, tampouco recebeu ofertas pelo jogador – cujo vínculo é até 31 de dezembro.

Assim, o lateral já está em condições de assinar um pré-contrato para defender qualquer outro clube a partir de janeiro. Contudo, a liberação para deixar a Gávea em julho só deve ser dada no caso de uma compensação financeira ao Flamengo – que conta com só um outro homem da função no elenco: Renê.

São três temporadas de Trauco no Flamengo e o peruano perdeu espaço no time depois de 2017. Foram 10 jogos em 2018 e outras 10 atuações em 2019.

Na Gávea, os números do lateral reforçam a ideia de que a diretoria não faria grande esforço por sua permanência. Porém, a chegada de Jorge Jesus pode mudar o cenário. O português, que ainda não teve contato com Trauco – a serviço da seleção peruana desde o início de junho -, tem participado ativamente da busca por reforços junto com a cúpula de futebol rubro-negra.

Caso indique que deseja contar com o jogador e o utilizar com frequência, o futuro de Miguel Trauco, que por ora parece distante da Gávea, pode mudar.

PERUANO HERDA A CAMISA 20

Defendendo o Flamengo desde janeiro de 2017, Miguel Trauco sempre vestiu a camisa 13. Agora, ao retornar da Copa América, o lateral-esquerdo passará a usar o número 20, que pertencia ao atacante Fernando Uribe, hoje no Santos.

A mudança ocorre por um motivo nobre: ao ser contratado pelo Rubro-Negro, o lateral-direito Rafinha entrou em contato com Trauco e pediu a camisa 13 – número o qual era utilizado pelo jogador no Bayern de Munique, na Alemanha, nas últimas oito temporadas. O peruano atendeu ao pedido e cedeu o número.

Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC), one of the seven teams in the West Indies domestic circuit, have been excluded from the regional four-day competition from the upcoming season, the West Indies Cricket Board announced. The team will continue to be a part of the Nagico Super50 List-A competition.”The Board approved a recommendation for the WICB First Class Competition to consist of the six premier regional teams – Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago and Windward Islands,” the WICB release said.”The Board approved a recommendation for six teams along with the Combined Campuses and Colleges along with other invitational teams to participate in the 2015 edition of the Nagico Super50.”The reduction of teams in the first-class competition was one of the recommendations made in a report presented by Richard Pybus, WICB’s director of cricket, in March 2014. The report was based on a comprehensive region-wise study conducted by Pybus between November 2013 and January 2014. He had suggested downsizing the first-class competition to make it more competitive.CCC were first included for domestic competitions in 2007-08 and made it to the final of the first-class competition in 2011 – their best show. Jason Holder and Chadwick Walton, who have played internationals have represented the team.
