Islamabad: Pakistan fast bowler Hasan Ali has been ruled out of the Test series against Sri Lanka next month because of broken ribs. Scans revealed cortical rib fractures that required up to six weeks to heal, the Pakistan Cricket Board said on Friday. File image of Hasan Ali. AP Hasan was cleared last week of a back injury that took seven weeks to heal, and played in the last two rounds of Pakistan’s premier four-day tournament, the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. But just before the start of the match last Friday, Hasan complained about pain in his left side. Scans revealed fractures of the “ninth rib on the right side and eighth and ninth ribs on the left side.” Hasan last played an international in June against arch-rival India during the Cricket World Cup in England. Pakistan is due to host Sri Lanka for a two-Test series from 11 December. Rawalpindi stages the first Test from 11 December followed by the second Test at Karachi from 19 December. Sri Lanka will be the first team to p

This weekend brings with it the grand finale of the 2019 Formula 1 season at Abu Dhabi — signalling the end of a hectic 21-race calendar. While Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have already claimed both world championships a few races ago, there are several other important and exciting championship battles waiting to be decided. Interestingly, the unpredictable results from the last race in Brazil is the reason why we have these exciting face-offs to watch in Abu Dhabi. Verstappen vs Leclerc — fight for 3rd In recent years, Formula 1 drivers have expressed disinterest in finishing third in the drivers' championship. This is primarily because of the extra travel required in the off-season to attend the FIA prize-giving ceremony. That said, third place in the drivers' championship is incredibly prestigious, especially since Mercedes has locked out the top two places. As things stand, the fight for the third place is between Red Bull Racing-Honda's Max Verstappen and Ferrari'

Jofra Archer bowled three deliveries of the 55th over with New Zealand unable to add to their tea score of 173-3 before rain swept across the area and ground staff rushed to cover the wicket block and parts of the outfield. Latham was on 101, his fifth test century in his last 10 innings, while Henry Nicholls was on five when players left the field. England had chosen a five-pronged pace attack for the match with Chris Woakes coming in for left-arm spinner Jack Leach, although Ben Stokes appeared to suffer discomfort in his left knee while bowling and only managed two overs. The team said it was unclear if he would bowl again in the innings. Despite having first

Chennai: Two-time Indian Super League (ISL) champions Chennaiyin FC on Saturday announced parting ways with head coach John Gregory, who had led the side to title trophy in the 2017-18 season. The 65-year old Englishman has seen the side endure a nightmarish run in the 2018-19 season when they finished at the bottom of the standings. The team is having a lacklustre run in the ongoing season as well, managing just one win from six matches. They drew two and lost three games. "The club would like to sincerely thank John for his services. He led us admirably well and delivered our second Indian Super League title. He thus also made us the first ISL club to qualify for the AFC Cup and oversaw our debut appearance in Asia while also reaching the 2019 Super Cup final. All of us at the club would like to wish John the very best in his future endeavours," the club said in a statement. Gregory had hinted at quitting after the team lost 0-3 to Bengaluru FC on 10 November, saying

Sourav Ganguly took over as the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) last month. An innovative leader and successful former skipper, he sought to make an immediate impact on Indian cricket by organising the first ever day/night Test on Indian soil at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. The intention was good, the occasion was right. What wasn’t correct was the decision to play against Bangladesh — one of the weakest sides to tour India in many, many years. The momentous Test match, with the pink ball, was supposed to be played from 22 to 26 November. It got over in two days, with only its last rites spilling over to the third morning. If ‘The Prince of Kolkata’ had planned to make this a memorable occasion, to be very honest, it didn’t turn out the way he intended it to. If cricket fans did not react to the way things panned out in the end, it was only because of the home team’s resounding innings win. Ganguly had stated at various forums that Virat Kohli, the India skip

Kolkata: If everything works out, East Bengal in its centenary year celebrations will play an exhibition match with English Premier League giants Manchester United at the Salt Lake Stadium next year. A four-member delegation from Manchester United, led by Director of Football Allan Dawson, met the red-and-gold club officials and West Bengal sports minister Aroop Biswas on Friday. They also visited the Salt Lake Stadium and expressed satisfaction at the facilities, East Bengal executive committee member Debabrata Sarkar said. "This was a preliminary inspection and they will submit a report within 10 days based on which we will go forward. Then we will work out the financial logistics," Sarkar said. It is learnt that the appearance fee for the Red Devils is a whopping Rs 24 crore, plus other extra expenses which will make it a Rs 30-crore affair. If it works out, this match will be a part of the centenary celebrations of East Bengal and United's pre-season Asia tour

Kolkata: The BCCI President Sourav Ganguly on Friday said that there's enough time to decide on Mahendra Singh Dhoni's future and things will get clearer in a few months time.

Of course it will get clear (within three months)." Dhoni, who has not played after India's semifinal exit in the World Cup in July, has so far refused to talk much regarding his future. At an event in Mumbai on Wednesday, Dhoni had said questions regarding his return to cricket should only be asked after January 2020. But Ganguly said there was "absolute clarity" among the team think-tank on how to deal with Dhoni's future. "No no, there is clarity, but certain things cannot be said on public platform.

Lucknow: Left-arm spinner Manav Suthar snapped five wickets as the Indian Under-19 team took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series over Afghanistan with a comprehensive five-wicket win in the fourth Youth ODI here on Thursday.

Daichi Kamada scored twice in the second half as Eintracht Frankfurt came from a goal down and stun Arsenal 2-1 in the Europa League on Thursday. The loss at Emirates Stadium extended Arsenal’s winless streak to seven games across all competitions — their worst run since 1992 — increasing the pressure on coach Unai Emery after a series of disappointing results.

Currently, if there is one name buzzing in the cricket coaching arena, it's Andrew McDonald. The former Australian all-rounder was recently named the head coach of Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Birmingham in England's new Hundred competition. He was also named the assistant coach of the Australian men's cricket team. In his four-year stint in coaching so far, he's built an impressive CV at just 37. He revived a struggling Leicestishire that hadn't won a single four-day match in two seasons in County circuit. He led Victoria to the one-day and Shield titles and a struggling Melbourne Renegades side to their first Big Bash League crown. He was also in the frame for England's men's cricket team's head coach role before Chris Silverwood was appointed. So it's not a surprise that he's one of the most sought after names in the coaching space. Firstpost sat with McDonald in Mumbai to discuss Royals' IPL roadmap, his coach
