Karabo Meso, the 16-year-old wicketkeeper-batter, has earned her maiden ODI call-up, figuring in the 14 for South Africa’s three-match series against Sri Lanka from April 9 in East London.Chloe Tryon, who missed the third T20I, has been ruled out of the series to continue her rehabilitation for a back injury. Annerie Dercksen, who was part of the T20I series that South Africa lost 2-1, has been left out. Delmi Tucker, the allrounder, has replaced her in the side.”It’s a big loss with the injury of Chloe as an allrounder, that’s why Delmi has come into the squad and she can give you the offspin option and with her batting,” Hilton Moreeng, South Africa’s head coach, said. “In these conditions, we never know this time of year what to expect on our surfaces. So we make sure that we have all our angles covered and overall we’re just excited to make sure that we finish off on a high and go into our off-season.”

Kapp reprimanded for Athapaththu send-off

Marizanne Kapp has been reprimanded for breaching level one of the ICC Code of Conduct during the third T20I against Sri Lanka. Kapp, in the 13th over of the Sri Lanka innings, used inappropriate language and gestured in the direction of the pavilion after dismissing Chamari Athapaththu. One demerit point has also been added to Kapp’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

Meso made her South Africa debut in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Potchefstroom, where she came in at No. 8 and was dismissed for a two-ball duck by Chamari Athapaththu. In the third match, she arrived at the crease with one ball left in the innings and did not make a run. Tucker, meanwhile, has played seven ODIs, 14 T20Is and one Test. In seven ODIs, she has 53 runs and three wickets.The ODI series will be part of the ICC Women’s Championship, which determines qualification for the 50-over World Cup. South Africa are currently second on the table with 20 points, with ten wins in 15 matches.”It’s a very simple equation for us, there’s six points to play for and Sri Lanka showed now in the last two to three days what they are capable of, so it’s now to make sure that we can get that right because every game there’s a lot more to play for,” Moreeng said. “Qualification is key for the 2025 World Cup. It’s going to be a challenge but everyone is looking forward to it and we have a very strong squad on home soil.”After the opening ODI in East London, South Africa and Sri Lanka face-off in the second game in Kimberley on April 13 and then the third in Potchefstroom on April 17.

South Africa squad for women’s ODI series vs Sri Lanka:

Laura Wolvaardt (capt), Anneke Bosch, Tazmin Brits, Nadine de Klerk, Sinalo Jafta, Marizanne Kapp, Ayabonga Khaka, Masabata Klaas, Suné Luus, Eliz-Mari Marx, Karabo Meso, Nonkululeko Mlaba, Tumi Sekhukhune Delmi Tucker

It’s not impossible, though rather improbable. Here’s a look at how things might go

S Rajesh24-Apr-2024How can RCB make the top four?
For a moment, however unlikely it might seem, let’s assume that RCB win each of their remaining six matches, starting with the one against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday. They will then finish on 14 points. Then, if other results go their way, they could finish in the top four without going into an NRR scenario.The best-case scenario for RCB will be if the top two or three teams run away with plenty of wins, leaving the rest of the teams fighting for the crumbs. Given the current IPL 2024 standings, it’s most likely that those teams will be Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers.If we assume that Royals will win four of their remaining six, and KKR and Sunrisers five of their remaining seven, then they will finish on 22, 20 and 20 points respectively. In that case, it is possible that RCB, with 14 points, will finish fourth with the other teams on 12 or fewer points.Can RCB even make it to No. 3?
Since you – RCB fan – are being rather greedy, let’s see.Let’s assume Sunrisers and KKR both suffer a sudden, and acute, slump in form and finish on 12 points – so just one win in the remaining seven matches. Let’s also assume that one of the other teams, say Lucknow Super Giants, strike a purple patch and win five of their last six. Then LSG will get to 20, and finish in the top two along with Royals. RCB will then finish third on 14 points, with six teams tied on 12. That scenario is also possible if one of KKR and Sunrisers finish in the top two.So RCB can make it – mathematically – even if they lose to Sunrisers
Yes. With 12 points – the maximum they can get then – they will still be in contention. In a bizarre points-distribution scenario, it’s possible for eight teams to finish on 12 points, fighting for two spots.However, for any of these scenarios to work for RCB, they will have to start winning, and keep winning, ideally by sizeable margins.

O Vasco busca um novo treinador para próxima temporada. O nome mais cotado para assumir o cargo é Maurício Barbieri. A negociação está bem avançadae promete ter um final feliz.

A decisão da diretoria vem gerando muita repercussão nas redes sociais. O treinador tem apenas 41 anos, mas já vivenciou momentos marcantes ao longo de sua curta carreira no futebol.

+Cobiçado por clubes da Europa, Andrey Santos segue focado no Vasco

INÍCIO DE BARBIERI

Após conseguir acesso no Campeonato Carioca pelo Audax Rio e desempenhar trabalhos promissores no Red Bull Brasil, Guarani e Desportivo Brasil, chegou ao Flamengo em março de 2018 para trabalhar na comissão técnica.

FLAMENGO

Em pouco tempo, acabou sendo promovido para interino. Paulo Cezar Carpegiani, que vinha sendo treinador da equipe rubro-negra no início da temporada, foi demitido após um reformulação proposta por Ricardo Lomba, vice-presidente do clube na época.

O início de Barbieri no Flamengo foi promissor. O treinador conseguiu utilizar Vini Jr, Lucas Paquetá, Diego Ribas e Everton Ribeiro juntos no time titular e implementou um estilo de jogo ofensivo através do esquema 4-3-3.

As boas atuações fizeram com que fosse efetivado como treinador do clube em junho daquele ano. No entanto, esta química entre comandante e elenco não durou por muito tempo.

A falta de experiência de Barbieri acabou virando um problema para muitos rubro-negros. Com as eliminações da Libertadores e Copa do Brasil para Cruzeiro e Corinthians, acabou sendo demitido do Flamengo.

GOIÁS

Barbieri chegou ao Goiás em dezembro de 2018. Apesar do bom aproveitamento (73%), as derrotas em jogos decisivos acabaram prejudicando seu trabalho. Após perder os dois jogos da final do Campeonato Goiano, os dirigentes do clube optaram por demiti-lo.

AMÉRICA-MG

Em maio de 2019, foi anunciado pelo América-MG para tirá-lo das últimas colocações da Série B. Apesar da expectativa, novamente não conseguiu obter uma sequência no comando. Após sete jogos e apenas uma vitória, foi demitido com apenas dois meses.

CSA

Chegou ao CSA em dezembro de 2019 e comandou os jogadores por somente seis jogos. A campanha negativa na Copa do Nordeste e a precoce eliminação na Copa do Brasil acabaram culminando na rápida insatisfação dos dirigentes e torcedores.

RB BRAGANTINO

Após uma sequência de trabalhos curtos, Barbieri chegou ao RB Bragantino em setembro de 2020 e obteve a continuidade que tanto buscava. O treinador conseguiu, durante um trabalho de longo prazo, implementar um padrão de jogo na equipe paulista.

Com 151 jogos comandados, mais de dois anos de trabalho e campanhas positivas em dois Brasileiros consecutivos, acabou deixando Bragança Paulista após uma sequência de resultados ruins. Apesar da demissão, conseguiu deixar um bom legado no clube.

POSSÍVEL CHEGADA AO VASCO

O treinador chegaria para substituir Jorginho na próxima temporada. O Vasco vem atravessando um período de reformulação nos últimos meses após ser comprado pela 777 Partners e busca um nome qualificado e atualizado para comandar uma equipe competitiva na próxima temporada. Resta saber se Barbieri terá tempo e paciência para tentar implementar um padrão de jogo no elenco cruz-maltino.

The Spanish defender addressed Rayados fans after a rough start to the tournament as Liga MX sides continue to stumble in tournament

• Monterrey have slim chances of advancing
• Only four out of 18 Liga MX teams are moving on
• Rayados face NY Red Bulls on Sunday

  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Following Monterrey’s defeat in their opening game of Leagues Cup – a 3-2 loss on the road against FC Cincinnati – captain Sergio Ramos delivered a blunt message to fans on social media, suggesting the defeat leaves the Mexican side with slim chances of advancing to the next round of the Leagues Cup.

  “Disappointed to start the Leagues Cup this way. We need to analyze, improve and bounce back with a strong performance on Sunday. Football always gives you new chances. Let’s go all in!” Ramos posted on social media.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The start of the Leagues Cup hasn’t been ideal for Liga MX clubs – especially for heavyweights such as América, Cruz Azul, Chivas, and Monterrey. Despite boasting one of the tournament’s strongest squads, Monterrey fell to Cincinnati, severely denting their hopes of advancing to the next round.

  WHAT DOMÈNEC TORRENT SAID

  Spanish coach Domènec Torrent strongly criticized the Leagues Cup format following Monterrey’s defeat.

  "Maybe we’re already out – they’ve put together such a strange competition, where you lose one game and you’re practically eliminated," he said. "It’s a tournament where you’re hoping all the other Mexican clubs lose too, because you’re competing against them. I’m not going to complain, but out of 18 teams, only four qualify – 14 get eliminated. One loss punishes you too much."

  WHAT NEXT FOR MONTERREY?

  Monterrey will now have to assert themselves against a New York Red Bulls side that already dealt Chivas a defeat in their Leagues Cup opener. The two teams play Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr side have reportedly made an offer for Manchester United's Brazilian winger Antony.

reports the Saudi club have made an undisclosed offer to the Red Devils. Antony, along with Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho, is one of four United first-team players currently training separately from the rest of the squad; he was not included in the club's pre-season tour of the US. While the Red Devils are clearly intending to sell the player, a report last week suggested they would ask for €50m (€60m/$67m) to part company with the winger. Earlier in the summer, it had been suggested the club would accept £20-30m (€22m-€34m/$27-40m) for the wide man.

Al-Nassr are willing to splash the cash, as they chase an SPL title after last season's disappointing third-place finish. Earlier today, they agreed to a €30m (£26m/$35m) deal for Chelsea's Joao Felix. That deal could reach €50m (£44.5m/$67m) with add-ons.

DID YOU KNOW?

Antony enjoyed a stellar loan spell at Real Betis in the second half of the 2024/25 season. The Brazilian scored nine goals in 26 appearances for the Spanish side, re-establishing himself as a sought after prospect after three disappointing seasons at Old Trafford.

The 23-year-old will leave Manchester this summer, but it remains to be seen if he fancies a move to Saudi. Antony had fancied a return to southern Spain, but Betis were unable to finance a deal.

Dillon du Preez will take over in an interim capacity for South Africa’s tour of India with a new coach to be appointed after that

Firdose Moonda10-May-2024Long-serving South Africa Women head coach Hilton Moreeng’s tenure has ended after a period of 11 years and four months.Moreeng was originally appointed in the role in December 2012, and oversaw South Africa’s transition to professionalism in 2014 and their greatest successes in the decade since. He took them to two ODI World Cup semi-finals, two T20 World Cup semi-finals, and was in charge when they became the first national senior side to reach a World Cup final, at home in the 2023 T20 World Cup. He was South Africa’s first black African national coach.Dillon du Preez, Moreeng’s assistant since September 2020 and a former first-class cricketer, will take over from him in an interim capacity for South Africa’s tour of India in June-July with a permanent coach to be appointed after that.Moreeng’s departure came after a period of short-term extensions to his contract since 2020 – originally for three years until after the 2023 T20 World Cup, and then for periods of time in the months that followed.CSA have confirmed it was Moreeng’s decision to step away.”He opted not to continue. And the timing of it is not great, but we really respect and understand his position,” Enoch Nkwe, South Africa’s director of cricket, said at a press conference on Friday. “He’s invested a lot, you know, obviously into women’s cricket. He’s taken this team from basically nothing to great heights. He’s reached a point where, and he was completely honest, he needs to allow the next person to take the team to the next level.”In his latest extension, Moreeng was contracted for the 2023-24 season, initially until the end of 2023, and then until the end of the summer, after his contract expired last year. He was also retained in 2020 when CSA first appointed a director of cricket – Graeme Smith – who undertook a major overhaul of the organisation’s coaching structures.

“We’re going to be engaging with them later in the month, at a camp, to try and gauge, obviously, where they’re feeling and where everybody’s at. We also want to see how we can help Dillion to make sure that the team can pull in one direction, which I have no doubt he’ll be able to do”Enoch Nkwe on the transition

Most recently, Moreeng remained in the job despite senior players expressing unhappiness with the length of his tenure. In August last year, six months after South Africa reached the final of the T20 World Cup, a group of players wrote to CSA to express their desire for change, but ESPNcricinfo understands that the process to replace Moreeng was delayed, and he was allowed to continue. As it turned out, CSA changed the captain and replaced Sune Luus, who led at the T20 World Cup and prior to that in Dane van Niekerk’s injury-enforced absence, with Laura Wolvaardt.A process was then put in place to recruit Moreeng’s replacement, who was expected to take over after the home series against Bangladesh last December, but that never happened. In early November, Nkwe told reporters that CSA “had interviews last week and we are still finalising a couple of things”. “As soon as we are done with the post-interview process, we will be able to make an announcement,” he said, and indicated the new support staff would be in place for South Africa’s January-February tour to Australia. He has since said CSA was not satisfied with those who put their hands up for the job. “We did advertise the position and unfortunately we couldn’t find the fitting candidates to take the team forward,” Nkwe said. “We went into the process of headhunting as well and unfortunately we couldn’t find anyone.”Moreeng then took South Africa to Australia, where they beat Australia for the first time in both a T20I and an ODI (though they lost both series) and was in charge for the home series against Sri Lanka. South Africa lost a T20I series to Sri Lanka for the first time and shared the ODI spoils, as Sri Lanka successfully completed the highest chase in women’s ODIs. It was after the Sri Lanka series that Moreeng decided his time was up, Nkwe said.CSA had initially hoped that Moreeng would continue until the 2025 World Cup, during which time they could plan a transition phase for his successor but “the process didn’t work out as planned”. Du Preez will now take the team to India and it is possible a new coach will be in place ahead of the T20 World Cup. Asked if the players are comfortable with du Preez, who has been in his role since September 2020, Nkwe suggested it may take some time for things to settle.”They’re still a little bit shocked because they didn’t expect [Moreeng’s departure] so soon; immediately at the end of the season. A lot of them are still processing what just transpired,” Nkwe said. “We’re going to be engaging with them later in the month, at a camp, to try and gauge, obviously, where they’re feeling and where everybody’s at. We also want to see how we can help Dillion to make sure that the team can pull in one direction, which I have no doubt he’ll be able to do.”Under Hilton Moreeng, South Africa Women became the first national senior side to reach a World Cup final•ICC via Getty ImagesAsked if he would consider putting himself up for the job full-time, du Preez stayed on the fence, for now. “I see myself as someone who has to do this at this stage of my life. Whether or not I try to do it going forward, this will allow me to grow. I see it as a positive move, even if it is for a month or two,” he said. “I think I will want to [have the job permanently] but it’s too early to give you a 100% answer. But that’s where you want to be, at the highest level. I would really want to coach there. I enjoy it a lot. But let’s talk after India.”Du Preez also indicated he would not change too much to begin with, having been mentored by Moreeng. “He’s been here for 11 years in this space and to learn from him, meant a lot to me. Whatever you know about cricket, the moment you move into the women’s space, you actually find out that you might know nothing,” du Preez said. “It’s been an emotional week. Hilton has left big shoes for me to fill. What he has done for women’s cricket, it feels like no one is going to match. I couldn’t pick a better guy to learn from.”There is no suggestion that CSA will continue to look for a women’s director of cricket, and that Moreeng could be considered for that. Nkwe said the former coach needs “time” to “continue reflecting and to see what his journey is going to look like moving forward”. But, Nkwe said, CSA would be open to engaging Moreeng in the future. “From our point of view, we would like to retain him in whichever way, because you don’t just let go of such experience, especially in women’s cricket.”In parting, Moreeng offered thanks to everyone he met along the way. “It has been an honour and a privilege to lead such a talented group of athletes over the years,” Moreeng said in a statement. “I want to express my sincere appreciation to all the players and team management who have been instrumental in this journey. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside each of you. I would also like to thank the South African fans and the media for their unwavering support throughout this journey. Your encouragement has been a constant source of motivation. Last but certainly not least, I am deeply grateful to my family and friends who have stood by me through the highs and lows along the way. Your love and support have been my rock.”CSA has also appointed a new batting coach in Baakier Adams, previously with the Warriors provincial team, and Bongani Ndaba as fielding coach alongside a new physiotherapist Neline Hoffman-Kellerman.
