SRH handed an IPL debut to Sri Lankan spin allrounder Kamindu Mendis
ESPNcricinfo staff03-Apr-2025Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bowl against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens.In an early indication that spin could be a factor tonight, KKR made one change: Moeen Ali replaced Spencer Johnson. Moeen took 2 for 23 on a spinning surface in Guwahati in his only IPL 2025 appearance. For SRH, Sri Lanka’s Kamindu Mendis made his IPL debut, replacing Wiaan Mulder in the bowl-first XI while Travis Head was on the Impact Player bench.Cummins said SRH were outplayed by KKR in last season’s final and he wanted to change that. He also said the team spoke “a bit” about their batting issues in their previous two games but feels they are at their best when aggressive. He said the boys are not worried too much about it.Ajinkya Rahane said he was “really happy” with the pitch, and wanted to bowl first too. He said he hoped it would suit his spinners and will need to assess conditions quickly.SRH’s decision to bowl was interesting, since they have been a team who like to post a big total and then attempt to defend it.Both KKR and SRH have only one win from their first three games, with both those wins coming against Rajasthan Royals.KKR bat-first XI: 1 Quinton de Kock (wk), 2 Venkatesh Iyer, 3 Ajinkya Rahane (capt), 4 Rinku Singh, 5 Angkrish Raghuvanshi, 6 Moeen Ali, 7 Sunil Narine, 8 Andre Russell, 9 Ramandeep Singh, 10 Harshit Rana, 11 Varun ChakravarthySRH bowl-first XI: 1 Abhishek Sharma, 2 Ishan Kishan, 3 Nitish Reddy, 4 Heinrich Klaasen (wk), 5 Aniket Verma, 6 Kamindu Mendis, 7 Simarjeet Singh, 8 Pat Cummins (capt), 9 Harshal Patel, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Zeeshan Ansari
O São Paulo segue sem muitas novidades quando o assunto são chegadas de novos jogadores nesta janela de transferências. Além disso, o clube quer cumprir o pedido de Dorival Júnior para não vender atletas importantes do elenco. Um número importante que serve para saber se um jogador pode ir para outro clube brasileiro ou não é o número de jogos que o atleta fez no Brasileirão.

A partir de sete partidas no torneio, o jogador não pode mais vestir a camisa de outra equipe na competição. O São Paulo tem quatro atletas que estão beirando esse número: Alan Franco, Diego Costa, Luan e Méndez. Os três primeiros fizeram seis jogos cada um e se completarem o sétimo, devem ficar no São Paulo até o final da temporada. O volante fez cinco partidas.
A situação mais indefinida é a de Luan. Mesmo com Dorival Júnior no comando do São Paulo, o camisa oito não vem ganhando chances. Contra o Bragantino, por exemplo, quando o Tricolor foi com um time alternativo, Luan não entrou como titular e ficou no banco de reservas durante toda a partida.

Luan quebrou o ‘jejum’ de cinco partidas sem jogar quando entrou na segunda etapa contra o Palmeiras. O São Paulo não tem propostas oficiais por ele, mas o jogador segue com futuro indefinido.
Já Alan Franco, Diego Costa e Méndez devem cumpir a sétima partida sem problemas. O Cria de Cotia, inclusive, deve ser titular contra o Santos. O volante briga por vaga entre os titulares, por conta da lesão de Gabriel Neves, que fraturou duas costelas e será desfalque. Além do mais, o São Paulo não tem planos de vendê-lo ou emprestá-lo no momento.
تحدث الهولندي آرني سلوت، المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ليفربول عن إصابة لاعبه قبل مواجهة آينتراخت فرانكفورت ضمن منافسات دوري أبطال أوروبا.
ويواجه ليفربول نظيره آينتراخت فرانكفورت في إطار منافسات الجولة الثالثة من مرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا غدًا الأربعاء، الموافق 22 من شهر أكتوبر الجاري.
ومن المقرر أن يحل ليفربول ضيفًا على الفريق الألماني مساء غد الأربعاء في تمام الساعة العاشرة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة ومكة المكرمة.
وكان ليفربول قد خسر بثنائية مقابل هدف، أمام مانشستر يونايتد في المباراة التي جمعتهما ضمن منافسات الجولة الثامنة من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “بريميرليج”.

ولمدة 4 مباريات متتالية، لا يعرف ليفربول طعم الفوز أو حتى التعادل إذ خسرهم جميعًا في جميع المسابقات، 3 منهم في الدوري الإنجليزي أمام كريستال بالاس وتشيلسي ومانشستر يونايتد، وواحدة في دوري أبطال أوروبا أمام جالطة سراي.
وأصيب ريان جرافنبيرخ، في مباراة الفريق أمام مانشستر يونايتد ضمن منافسات الدوري الإنجليزي، في الكاحل، ليغيب عن مواجهة فرانكفورت غدًا.
وقال سلوت، في تصريحات نقلها الموقع الرسمي لناديه: “كنت مضطرًا في عدم اصطحاب جرافنبيرخ لمباراة فرانكفورت لأنني رأيته “يعرج” قليلًا المباراة الماضية، لذلك فضلت استبعاده”.
وأكمل: “غيابه سيؤثر علينا بالطبع ويكون دائمًا فرصة للآخرين، رأينا في مباراة كريستال بالاس بالدرع الخيرية وأمام بورنموث ماذا حدث لنا في غيابه، هو يحمي الرباعي الخلفي، لكن في نفس الوقت ينبغي أن أختار لاعبًا جديدًا آخر في تشكيل الغد”.
وأردف: “ريان لن يكون متاحًا لمباراة فرانكفورت، ونأمل أن يكون متاحًا في نهاية الأسبوع”.
وأتم: “هي إصابة في الكاحل، علينا أن ننتظر ونرى، ونمنحه بعض الوقت ونرى أين سيكون عندما نعود من مباراة فرانكفورت”.
Newcastle United are perhaps ruing their decision to sell academy graduate Elliot Anderson last summer to Nottingham Forest. The England international, who was only capped for the first time last week, moved down to the East Midlands from his boyhood club for reasons relating to PSR.
Yet, he has gone from strength to strength at the City Ground, a testament to his ability that Newcastle fans no doubt saw at St James’ Park, too. That talent has been summed up by Thomas Tuchel, handing the youngster his England debut against Andorra last week.
Having Anderson alongside midfield options like Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joelinton would have been excellent depth for Eddie Howe. With that being said, it gives the chance for a new academy star to break through, after someone like Lewis Miley.
Miley’s Newcastle career so far
It is easy to forget that England under-1 international Miley is just 19 years of age. He’s been in and around the first team frame at St James’ Park for a number of years, since first making his debut in the 2022/23 campaign.
In total, the Stanley-born midfielder has played 49 games for his boyhood club.
He’s managed to get himself on the scoresheet three times and has chipped in with four assists along the way, too.
Of course, it has not been easy for Miley to establish himself in the Magpies’ midfield with the aforementioned quality they have. However, his versatility may work in his favour, given he’s played as a number six as well as in his preferred number eight role.
The youngster has also struggled with injuries, missing the back end of the 2023/24 campaign and the beginning of the 2024/25 season. Since then, he has been unable to break into the side under Howe.
It remains to be seen if Miley can become Newcastle’s new Anderson, but, for now, it doesn’t seem likely that he can establish himself in the starting lineup. Instead, another teen star at the club might be the person Newcastle turn towards to replace Anderson.
Newcastle’s next Elliot Anderson
There must be something in the air at Newcastle to have developed Anderson and Miley, two young academy midfielders. Well, next on that list could be 19-year-old Alfie Harrison, a versatile midfielder who hails from Manchester.
Described as a “star in the making” by football writer Thomas Hammond, Harrison has shone for the Magpies’ youth team at under-21 level, after originally coming through the ranks at Manchester City.
After playing under-21 football in 2023/24, Harrison had his best campaign yet last season. The Mancunian midfielder, who has the first-team number 44 at St James’ Park, played 20 games in the Premier League 2, scoring three times and assisting seven.
He has also excelled in the EFL Trophy, too. The 19-year-old created three chances in his first game of the competition this season against Huddersfield Town, and also won two ground duels and one tackle, showing great all-round ability.
One of the standout features of his game is the versatility he offers. Whilst he is a midfielder by trade, Harrison can also operate out wide, which will teach him plenty of skills to add to his craft in the middle of the park.

Stats from Transfermarkt
Losing Anderson was certainly a huge blow for the Magpies, but perhaps Howe will decide to unleash a player with the creative talent of Harrison at some stage this season.
He will certainly add quality on the ball, just like their former midfielder.
In The Pipeline
Miley is certainly a great option for Howe to have in and around the squad, but perhaps a player with the skill of Harrison will be able to leapfrog him and become the new Anderson soon enough.

A luta do Botafogo para se manter firme no Brasileirão passa por revigorar seu fôlego até mesmo diante dos percalços. Mesmo diante da grave lesão que tirará Rafael dos gramados por um prazo de seis meses, a equipe alvinegra deve voltar suas atenções para substitutos jovens.

O Glorioso recorre a duas opções das categorias inferiores para acirrarem a concorrência com Di Plácido. O desafio é fazer com que ambos mostrem suas qualidades gradualmente e consigam progredir em campo.
Um deles esteve na atividade comandada pelo interino Cláudio Caçapa, no CT Lonier, terça-feira (4). Atualmente na equipe sub-23, Walisson está com 21 anos mas chama atenção por sua vivência. O jovem foi cedido pelo RB Bragantino e ainda passou pela base do Athletic, de Minas Gerais, antes de desembarcar no Rio de Janeiro. Após ter um início promissor sob o comando de Lúcio Flávio, lidou com uma fratura em um de seus braços, mas se recuperou após ser submetido a uma cirurgia.
Ryan, de 20 anos, também vem ganhando chance de mostrar seu valor nos treinos após ter desembarcado no Alvinegro no ano passado. O jovem, que foi contratado junto à Chapecoense, tem no currículo duas partidas como profissional na equipe catarinense. Porém, a ideia ao chegar no Botafogo era de que ele fosse lapidado.
Como a diretoria alvinegra só conta inicialmente com Di Plácido para o setor (Daniel Borges foi cedido do América-MG), o caminho do Glorioso deve passar também pela renovação no setor. Em um momento que exige cada vez mais pique para o líder do Brasileirão, cabe à equipe não titubear.

It was a mixed transfer window at West Ham United in the end, but things could have been so much different had they signed the attacking target that they set their sights on.
West Ham's transfer window in review
To say it was a slow start for the Hammers would be an understatement. It looked as though they were going to stand still entirely at one stage, opting to welcome just Callum Wilson and El Hadji Malick Diouf, until they finally returned to the transfer market late on and signed the likes of Mateus Fernandes.
West Ham's "unbelievable" star was their OG Fernandes, then Moyes sold him
The dynamic ace was a brilliant player for West Ham.
ByJack Salveson Holmes Sep 6, 2025
It could be that late flurry that sparks a much-needed turnaround under Graham Potter. Before their 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest before the international break, the Hammers had lost all three of their first games, and had conceded 11 goals in the process. Pressure, as a result, was increasing on Potter.
The former Brighton manager would have breathed a greater sight of relief than anyone else involved at the City Ground, but West Ham must now kick on when they return to action.
Only time will tell whether late deals for Fernandes, Igor Julio and Soungoutou Magassa are enough to turn things around permanently at West Ham and save their transfer window, but Potter can no longer say that he wasn’t backed.
Up next for the Hammers after the international break is the visit of Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby. The Lilywhites have looked much-improved under Thomas Frank, although West Ham are no strangers to defeating their rivals and will be hoping to pick up where they left off against Forest.
West Ham United managerGrahamPotterapplauds fans after the match
It is, of course, the type of game that Aleksandar Mitrovic would have thrived in, but West Ham can thank one reason why he’s not lining up for Potter’s side after the summer transfer window.
West Ham made late Mitrovic offer
As reported by The Boot Room’s Graeme Bailey, West Ham made a late offer to sign Mitrovic after he was granted an exit from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal. Alongside Leeds United, the Hammers were pushing to welcome the forward back to the Premier League to solve their attacking problems.
Ultimately, however, he opted against returning to English football as he didn’t want to tarnish the relationship that he has with Fulham, having spent five years at the West London club.
Once dubbed “outstanding” by Fulham boss Marco Silva, there’s no doubt that Mitrovic would have been an instant upgrade on West Ham’s current options.
Kishan says the team was going for the record, after his unbeaten 106 got them to within two runs of the all-time highest IPL total
Shashank Kishore23-Mar-20252:46
Rapid fire: Are Kishan and SRH a perfect match?
Ishan Kishan said he picked up the phone quite soon after being bought by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for INR 11.25 crore (USD 1.34 million approx.) at the IPL 2025 mega auction. He wanted to know what it would be like to play for the IPL’s most explosive batting side.”I straightaway called Abhishek [Sharma] and asked, ‘what are you guys expecting, do I have to come and hit each and every ball?’ He was like, ‘on point, yeah, that is your job, you come here and you hit each and every ball, you just enjoy in this team.’ And that is the best part.Related

“I could actually see, and I could actually feel it before we played this game,” Kishan said after his 106 not out off 47 set up SRH’s win against Rajasthan Royals. “It’s not that I got a hundred and I’m talking about it. But yeah, when I got here, the message was very clear. ‘If the ball is there, just go for it, have your fun, have your moment’ and that’s how I think we’re going to play the tournament. Even if we are in a very good phase, we would do the same thing each and every time.”Kishan’s century off 45 balls was the third-fastest by a Sunrisers batter after Travis Head (41 balls) and David Warner (43). His partnerships with Travis Head (85 off 38 balls) and Nitish Reddy (72 off 29 balls) helped Sunrisers post 286, two short of being the all-time record for the highest total in the IPL, which would have broken Sunrisers’ own record. They now have four of the top-five highest scores in the league’s history.”Someone came in the middle with a water bottle and said we need to cross this total [their record of 287],” Kishan said. “I was like, I did not know if there was a target set or something, but yeah, when you don’t achieve the goal, it’s something like you want to do it again. We did not do it today, so it’s good to have that target goal for us coming back. Some days [when] we get a good start, batters are set, we will try and definitely get a record total.”Ishan Kishan slammed what was his first IPL hundred•BCCI
Kishan came into the IPL on the back of middling form in domestic cricket. His record in IPL 2024 wasn’t outstanding either – a solitary half-century in 14 innings for 320 runs. At Sunrisers, he was to play at No. 3, a slight deviation from his role as an opener at MI. Asked about the role change, Kishan said he got clarity from the captain and coach.”They keep it very simple, to be very honest,” Kishan said “Like Pat [Cummins], he keeps it very simple, he knows if the player likes to attack from the beginning, he just backs it up. It’s not like if you go in there and get out trying to hit, it adds up any pressure. That’s the best part for any youngster.”If you watched Aniket Verma playing his first game, at that moment he was not thinking about coming back not out. He just went for each and every ball, so that is the sort of confidence when you get from your support staff, or I would say captain, it makes a huge difference. And that is what something every player is looking up to, so I would say it helped us a lot.”Kishan’s roaring start at SRH comes after a tricky year for him. Last year at this time, just prior to the IPL, he had been stripped of his BCCI central contract for seemingly not prioritising domestic cricket. Asked how that affected him, Kishan said: “Whatever the situation was, I think I was never a person who was thinking about those bad moments. I was very much in the present, like what’s needed. Yeah, I need to perform, I need to do good for me, whatever I’ll do, it will help me end of the day. So I just planned to get all the negative thoughts out and just think about what’s ahead, like IPL was coming up.”So, yeah, I was just doing my hard work and, like I said to my loved ones, it was more about my family, the fans who were always there, the ones who are here supporting me today. Like I said, my brother was there. So it was just for them. Coming to SRH, playing in Hyderabad, the first game, setting up a good total for the team, so all together it was a very happy moment for me.”

Zak Crawley hits fifty after being dropped on nought before unbroken stand condemns Middlesex
ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay13-Apr-2025
Ben Compton and Tawanda Muyeye put on a matchwinning stand•Ian Scammell
Tawanda Muyeye and Ben Compton both hit centuries as Kent coasted to an eight-wicket run win over Middlesex in the Rothesay County Championship at Canterbury on Sunday.Muyeye made a fluent unbeaten 125 and Compton a stylish 124 not out in a record-breaking partnership worth 225, after England’s Zak Crawley showed a glimpse of form with 58, having being dropped on nought.Earlier Middlesex were all out for 311, setting Kent what looked like a stiff target of 316 to win. Ben Geddes made 75 and Zafar Gohar contributed 57 down the order, but Gohar was the only visiting bowler to enjoy any success, claiming two wickets in two balls to reduce Kent to 91 for 2. That, however, was as good as it got for the visitors and Compton hit the winning single with 5.4 overs of day three remaining.Middlesex began the day in a strong position on 222 for 6 and with a 226-run lead in the bank, but they lost Geddes early when he pulled Jack Leaning to the backward square leg boundary and was caught by a tumbling Joey Evison, having added just two to his overnight score.Blake Cullen made a useful 22 and saw off eight overs of the new ball before he edged Grant Stewart to Daniel Bell-Drummond at first slip.Stewart then got Toby Roland-Jones lbw for a fifth-ball duck but the last wicket duo of Gohar and Henry Brookes milked the bowlers for 39 runs.Gohar pulled Gilchrist for a huge six to take the lead past 300 and only perished when he cut the same bowler to Jas Singh on the backward point boundary.There was an eerie silence when Crawley, on nought in the first over, edged Roland-Jones to Geddes, who dropped him at third slip. He then drove Roland-Jones for successive fours, edged one through gully, clipped a six over midwicket and looked largely unmolested on his way to the fifty he reached by sweeping Gohar to third man for four.Gohar, however, undid him in his next over, with a ball that pitched near middle and spun back to hit his off stump. Bell-Drummond went to the very next ball, bowled by a delivery that pitched outside and hit off. Yet Muyeye blocked the hat-trick ball and at tea Kent looked favourites on 164 for 2.A pitch that looked so demonic on day one seemed to have been exorcised. Gohar switched ends and switched back again. Muyeye creamed Brookes for a six over square leg that ended up in the car park and drove Gafar through mid-off to reach his hundred.Bowling at Compton’s head proved futile and he cut Gohar through point for four to reach three figures, by which stage Middlesex seemed drained of hope.Muyeye seemed in a hurry to get it done in three days, dumping Gohar into the upper deck of the Cowdrey stand for a huge six.It was the highest ever third-wicket partnership for Kent v Middlesex, eclipsing the 196 made by both Bob Wilson and Colin Cowdrey in 1954 and David Fulton and Matt Walker in 2004.Compton staked his claim for a place in Kent’s Blast side by hitting the same bowler for a maximum over long-on, for only the sixth six of his career and he had the honour of hitting the winning run when he nudged Nathan Fernandes through mid-off.
