Their efforts helped Bangladesh jump past hurdles that have hurt them in the past

Mohammad Isam20-Jun-2025

Nayeem Hasan and Shadman Islam stepped up for Bangladesh in the back end of a Test match, a period that has often been thorny for them.The game in Galle threatened to slip away when Milan Rathnayake and Kamindu Mendis added 84 for the seventh wicket. But offspinner Nayeem’s first five-for in an overseas Test helped dismiss Sri Lanka for 485 and gave Bangladesh a ten-run lead. Shadman then gave their second innings stability, which Bangladesh have often lacked, with an innings of 76.It left them 187 in front with seven wickets in hand going into the fifth day. All results are possible, uncommon in a Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Test contest, which are mostly one-sided. Bangladesh need several players to step up for a Test win, rather than individual heroics, like they did in Pakistan and West Indies last year. Shadman and Nayeem’s meaningful contributions has given them a chance.Related

Nayeem, playing in place of the unwell Mehidy Hasan Miraz, bowled more than 40 overs, and created more chances than Taijul Islam. He had Dinesh Chandimal caught at leg slip on the third afternoon, before dismissing Dhananjaya de Silva in similar fashion early on the fourth day.Nayeem switched sides several times, going around to the wicket to the right-hand batters. He stayed around the wicket to the left-hand batters, too, and bowled his best ball of the day: a cracking offbreak to Mendis that dipped in front of him and kissed the outside edge to be caught behind on 87. It swung the momentum Bangladesh’s way on the fourth afternoon.”I think I bowled a great delivery to him. It was also great to remove three right-hand batters,” Nayeem said. He did Bangladesh a huge favour by wrapping up the tail quickly, which they have struggled to do in the past.”I tried to bowl in one good spot and then adjust my variation there. I tried changing the seam position from time to time. My line depended on who I was bowling to. I had different plans for each batter.”It was a batting-friendly wicket so we tried to bowl consistently in one area. When you cut off the runs, the batter gets under pressure. He tries to do something different, which can lead to a mistake.”Nayeem praised Bangladesh’s batters for taking the game forward on the fourth day. “I think only those who batted in the middle know what it is like. Shadman batted really well. Mushy [Mushfiqur Rahim] and [Najmul Hossain] Shanto are also doing well. It is all going well.”Shadman looked comfortable from the start of Bangladesh’s second innings, in contrast to his opening partner Anamul Haque. He had just made a comeback in Bangladesh’s previous Test, against Zimbabwe, after being passed over by the selectors for Zakir Hasan and Mahmudul Hasan Joy.Zakir and Mahmudul lost their places after underperforming for at least a year. Anamul was a popular choice in April after scoring a string of centuries in the Dhaka Premier League List A competition. Anamul had good numbers in the domestic first-class tournaments, too, but his return already seems like another opportunity lost.Many blame the poor quality of Bangladesh’s first-class competition for boosting Anamul’s numbers but it is the same tournaments in which Nayeem and Shadman have also performed.Shadman Islam’s 76 put Bangladesh in a healthy position•Sameera Peiris/AFP/Getty Images

Nayeem has taken 38 wickets at 25.89 in ten matches in the last 12 months, while Anamul has made 862 runs at 41.04 in the same period. Nayeem has only played 13 out of 43 Tests since his debut in November 2018, but he has been a domestic giant, taking 176 wickets at 22.64 apiece with 12 five-fors. Anamul is the batting equivalent, scoring more than 6000 runs at 46.46 with 17 first-class centuries.Anamul and Nayeem are usually picked by Bangladesh when there’s an injury or as a last resort. Nayeem has always grabbed those chances, having taken the fourth-most wickets in the team since his debut. Anamul, however, hasn’t converted his domestic form into international runs, with many back home now saying it’s his strong social-media presence influenced selectors.Nayeem said playing so much domestic cricket had prepared him for the toil in Galle. “We have to bowl well for a long time in our first-class cricket,” he said. “We sometimes get help from the pitches. We got a great pitch here. Field placings then also become important. Wickets here only come after you have bowled a long time on a consistent line and length.”After the fourth day’s play, Nayeem was asked whether he considered himself unlucky to have played only 13 Tests since his debut in 2018. “I don’t consider myself unlucky. Allah provides sustenance,” he said. “Not everyone’s career will be the same. I am happy with what I got. Thanks to Allah, I could make use of the opportunity.”Given how the fourth day panned out in Galle, Bangladesh can thank cricketers like Nayeem and Shadman, who spend much of the year waiting for opportunities, for keeping their chances of victory alive.

Porém, ao mesmo tempo, Barcellos argumentou que existem elementos (especialmente de ordem financeira) para fazer com que uma possível negociação seja tratada com bastante cautela.

– Sem dúvida nenhuma o Oscar, e ele sabe disso, é um jogador que todas as vezes que se aventa a possibilidade, o Inter tem interesse. Jogador identificado e por ter a qualidade que tem. Esse é sempre um fator importante, mas ela (a negociação) tem limites e condições que muitas vezes não são possíveis.

India coach says ‘my heart goes to the families, the people who’ve lost their loved ones’ in Bengaluru

Gambhir: We should never have roadshows

India coach Gautam Gambhir has said there is no need to have celebratory roadshows in the future, after a stampede caused the death of 11 fans and injured many more in Bengaluru during the functions held on Wednesday to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru winning their maiden IPL title.”I was never a believer that we need to have roadshows. When I was playing, I had the same statement to make, even after winning 2007 [T20 World Cup], that we should not have road shows,” Gambhir said in Mumbai ahead of India’s departure for the Test tour of England. “I think lives of the people are far more important. I will continue to say that, even in future, I think we can be a little bit aware of not holding these kind of roadshows, and can probably have it in a closed door, or something like this, in a stadium.Related

“It is very tragic what happened yesterday, and my heart goes to the families, the people who’ve lost their loved ones, and I hope in future, nothing like this can happen, because I think we all are responsible, and we all are responsible citizens, and we should take care of all this.”And if we are not ready to hold a roadshow, we shouldn’t have done that. As simple as it can get. I know fans do get excited, everyone gets excited, the fan bases get excited, but nothing can compare to what has happened yesterday.”Even when I used to play, I didn’t believe in roadshows. I don’t believe in them today and I won’t believe in them in the future as well. Winning is important. Celebration is important. But more important than that is the life of any person. So, if we are not prepared or if we can’t handle the crowd in that way, then we might as well not have these roadshows.”Earlier on Thursday, RCB issued a statement announcing “financial support of INR 10 lakh to each of the eleven families of the deceased” and setting up of an RCB Cares fund in aid of the “fans injured in this tragic incident.” The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) also said it would give INR 5 lakh to each of the families of the people who died in the stampede around the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Thursday, Topps announced an exclusive partnership with two-way MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers batter/pitcher is partnering with the brand on a unique global trading card deal. Previously, Ohtani partnered with Topps in a non-exclusive fashion.

As a part of the deal, Topps will manufacture products that feature Ohtani autographs and game-used memorabilia to be distributed in the United States and Japan markets. David Leiner, President of Trading Cards at Fanatics Collectibles, which owns Topps, promised that the partnership would give collectors, "product that's never before been seen in the hobby."

Ohtani joins other countrymen, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Ichiro Suzuki, and Hideki Matsui in partnering with Topps. He also joins a roster of larger-than-life athletes partnered with Topps like LeBron James.

“I'm happy to be exclusively partnering with Topps to give fans unique cards and collectibles for seasons to come," Ohtani said in the press release. Just a few days ago, Topps announced a 1/1 card with a "40/40 club" inscription from Ohtani along with the date he achieved the exclusive mark.

Fanatics acquired the familiar Topps trading card brand in 2022 and is giving a new platform to the collectibles space. Earlier this month Fanatics held a "fan fest," a sports-angled convention comparable to conventions in other spaces like Comic Con, and later this year will hold its first unique auction in a deconsecrated church.

Ohtani famously is reported to make a number in the ballpark of $100 million annually from endorsements and non-baseball contracts. Quite possibly, that massive figure gave him the flexibility to largely defer his contract with the Dodgers in last offseason's free agency, giving the franchise more flexibility to build a winning team around him.

Chelsea have been tipped to move for a “dominant” Germany international defender who is “exactly” what Enzo Maresca needs, coming amid the Blues’ major shortage of centre-back options.

Enzo Maresca demands centre-back signing for Chelsea

Before their 2-1 win over Premier League champions Liverpool, it was reported that Maresca is unhappy with Chelsea’s current squad, as he believes the west Londoners are still light in key areas (Simon Phillips).

The most obvious area of Maresca’s team that’s in desperate need of reinforcement is centre-half, and this was on full display against Liverpool on Saturday, after Chelsea elected not to invest a portion of their £285 million summer spend into a natural central defender in the summer.

With Trevoh Chalobah (suspended), Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill all unavailable for the game, Maresca was forced to start a pairing of youngster Josh Acheampong and Benoit Badiashile, with the latter only just returning from injury himself.

Chelsea’s boss publicly requested a centre-back signing before summer deadline day on September 1, but it is believed that BlueCo are in agreement with their manager that one should be a “priority” for January instead (Pete O’Rourke).

They’re already making plans in that regard, having reached out to Marc Guehi’s camp last week over a potential cut-price January move with the England international’s contract expiring at the end of 2025/2026.

Chelsea tipped to move for Borussia Dortmund star Nico Schlotterbeck

Now, ex-Premier League chief scout Mick Brown, who remains well-connected in the beautiful game, has “heard” that Chelsea are looking at Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck as a potential option.

The Germany international’s deal runs out in just under two years, meaning he could be available for a potentially doable fee in the winter window, and this is something that Chelsea are actively considering.

The 25-year-old, who captains Dortmund regularly, also has a questionable injury record — so BlueCo need to tread carefully here.

Schlotterbeck missed a large portion of this calendar year with a meniscus tear, which stretched into Dortmund’s Club World Cup campaign and early this season after he was sidelined near the end of 2024/2025.

The towering defender may not be a reliable ever-present depending on his fitness issues, but could be a very reliable back-up option as Maresca continues not to select ‘bomb squad’ member Axel Disasi.

Leeds United have long established themselves as a club who promote young talent from within, but they may now have a battle on their hands to keep an exciting gem at Elland Road.

Farke sets out aims as pressure mounts in Leeds dugout

After two-and-a-half years in the dugout at Leeds, Daniel Farke had led his side to the promised land of the Premier League and will hope they can retain their top-flight status despite a mixed start to life against the elite.

Speaking to Sky Germany, the former Norwich City boss made clear that his intention in Yorkshire is to leave the club in a better state than he found it, something everyone will be able to see he has carried out with distinction.

He said on podcast Speilmacher, recounting his time at SV Lippstadt: “Back then at SV Lippstadt, it was thanks to my old president, because he knew I had respect for horses. So he thought of it as a sort of ‘Lap of Honor’ and decided I had to ride a horse.

“Yes, back then, my hair was a bit longer, and there was a bit of a resemblance. How I would leave this stadium here, I have no idea. Hopefully, in a positive way. My aim is always to leave the club better than I found it. Of course, I would be happy if it’s in a positive way. But in this business, you never know. So I hope it’s a good farewell.”

With Archie Gray and Harry Gray two examples of bristling Thorp Arch talent, among other academy graduates, there is hope that the Whites can continue to breed prodigies to serve the club in the long-term, though they may need to fight to retain one of their latest stars.

Leeds offer new terms to youngster Sam Alker

According to Leeds United News in conversation with Graeme Bailey, Leeds starlet Sam Alker is on the radar of Newcastle and the Whites may be powerless to prevent his exit due to his status as a domestic player.

Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are also reported to be in the conversation. However, the midfielder is only 16 and won’t be able to move to a club in mainland Europe until his 18th birthday. On the flip side, English clubs could sign him straight away.

Bailey said on his situation: “I’m told there is a bit of interest in him. I’ve only heard domestic interest. I did hear Newcastle are one of the ones in for him. Alker can’t move abroad until 18. Leeds’ real fear is domestically. Dortmund or Leverkusen, that doesn’t do him any favours.”

Leeds have offered him terms, but find themselves waiting for more news on his future because he cannot yet sign a professional deal. They will hope Harry Gray’s contract renewal at Elland Road can provide an example to follow, though Alker has some key factors to weight up before committing his future.

For now, Whites supporters will need to bide their time, but it is clear the club are doing all they can to ensure he remains in Yorkshire.

Benfica presidential candidate Joao Noronha Lopes has sensationally confirmed that he has been in talks with Manchester City star Bernardo Silva “for a long time” about a return to his boyhood club. Speaking during a campaign debate ahead of November’s decisive election, Lopes reiterated his promise to bring the Portuguese international back to Lisbon if elected.

Benfica presidential candidate aims to sign Silva if elected

Benfica’s presidential race has taken another dramatic turn as Noronha Lopes doubled down on his ambitious pledge to re-sign Manchester City superstar Silva. Speaking during a televised debate on Thursday, the 54-year-old businessman confirmed that he has been in direct contact with the Portuguese midfielder “for a long time” regarding a possible homecoming. The revelation comes just days after Rui Costa narrowly edged the first round of voting, with neither candidate securing a majority and a run-off now scheduled for November 8.

Silva, a Benfica academy graduate who made only three senior appearances before leaving for Monaco in 2014, has long been regarded as one of the club’s great lost talents. Despite enjoying a glittering career in England under Pep Guardiola, where he has won multiple Premier League titles and the Champions League, the idea of finishing his career back at the Estadio da Luz has remained close to his heart. Noronha Lopes has made the midfielder’s return a central promise of his campaign, declaring it a “symbolic” move that would represent a new era for the club.

Lopes reiterated his position at Thursday’s debate, insisting that his communication with Silva has been consistent and genuine. “I really want to bring him back,” he said [h/t SAPO Portugal]. “I’ve been talking to him for a long time. I repeat what I said at the beginning of the campaign, and I’ll say it again now: with me, the president will return. I’m not setting deadlines. He’s someone I admire; he’s a great Benfica supporter.”

He continued by stressing his respect for Silva’s current commitments at Manchester City, saying he understands why the player has not spoken publicly on the issue. “Bernardo makes his own decisions,” Lopes added. “I perfectly understand that he doesn’t take a public position regarding the elections.”

The Benfica presidential hopeful’s comments follow previous claims from September, when he revealed that a contract offer for Silva was already “waiting.” While Manchester City have no immediate plans to sell their vice-captain, the Portuguese international’s contract runs until June 2026, making a deal theoretically possible.

These latest remarks echo his earlier interview with A Bola in September, where Lopes claimed that a formal contract was already in place. “Yes, I can confirm that a contract is waiting for Bernardo Silva,” he told the outlet. “And I really want to bring him in in January. He embodies everything I want for Benfica: identity, a winning culture, and he’s a true Benfica fan. And I can assure you that we won’t stop here.”

Bernardo Silva and his boyhood Benfica dream

Silva’s story is deeply entwined with Benfica’s history. Born in Lisbon, he joined the club’s youth academy at just eight years old and spent over a decade rising through the ranks, earning acclaim as one of Portugal’s brightest prospects. However, despite winning the Segunda Liga Breakthrough Player of the Year award with Benfica B, his first-team chances were limited to three domestic cup appearances before leaving for AS Monaco in 2014. It was there that his career exploded, with his creativity and intelligence helping Monaco claim the 2016–17 Ligue 1 title and reach the Champions League semi-finals.

His brilliance soon attracted Manchester City, who signed him in 2017 for €50 million. Under Guardiola, Silva became one of Europe’s most complete midfielders — a tireless, technically gifted player, capable of dictating games from almost any role. His honours list includes six Premier League titles, four League Cups, two FA Cups, and the club’s first-ever Champions League crown in 2023.

AFPSecond round of Benfica presidential election scheduled for November 8

The next step in this saga hinges on Benfica’s presidential election, which will take place on November 8 following a tightly contested first round. Rui Costa, the incumbent president, remains the favourite after leading the initial vote, but Noronha Lopes’ vow to bring Bernardo Silva home could yet swing public opinion. The promise has captured the imagination of supporters craving both ambition and nostalgia — qualities Lopes believes Silva perfectly embodies.

Should Lopes triumph, immediate discussions with Manchester City are expected, though the financial challenge would be significant. Silva remains under contract until next summer and continues to play a vital role in Guardiola’s squad, meaning any approach would likely have to wait until the summer.

Manchester United face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League this afternoon, with Ruben Amorim looking to extend his current winning run in England’s top-flight.

The 40-year-old will be leading the side into his 52nd outing, but could create history in his tenure if he can secure all three points against Fabian Hurzeler’s men.

He claimed his second successive league victory last time out against rivals Liverpool, with a win against the Seagulls potentially making it three in a row – something he’s yet to do at Old Trafford.

However, the manager will likely have numerous selection headaches ahead of him for the meeting this afternoon, with numerous players in contention for a return to the starting eleven.

One player could be brutally dropped to the substitutes bench once again, that’s despite starting each of the Red Devils’ last two outings in the Premier League.

Why Mason Mount should be dropped against Brighton

Mason Mount has massively struggled for consistent minutes at United after making a £60m switch to join the club from Chelsea back in the summer of 2023.

Injuries have often plagued the Englishman’s progress, subsequently restricting him to a total of 55 appearances across all competitions in the last 27 months.

However, Amorim has constantly stated his admiration for the 26-year-old, but he may decide to drop him from the starting eleven after his showing at Anfield.

He only featured for an hour before being withdrawn, understandably so given his measly tally of seven passes completed and zero chances created.

In Amorim’s pre-match press conference, he also stated that Mount has picked up a knock, but he should still be fit for the clash with the Seagulls this afternoon.

Regardless of his fitness, the manager needs to axe him from his starting eleven, offering one other player the chance to impress in his 3-4-2-1 system.

The United star who needs to start against Brighton

After finishing 15th in the Premier League last season, Amorim has been working tirelessly to prevent a repeat – even receiving a huge boost from the hierarchy in the process.

The 40-year-old was handed over £200m worth of new additions to make the changes he needed, with such funds being used to land the signature of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Brazilian has mainly operated in a number ten role since his switch to Old Trafford, but the boss decided to utilise him in a number nine position against the Reds.

Such a decision took away from his best qualities, resulting in the 26-year-old being dispossessed six times and failing to register a shot on target for the first time in 2025/26.

As a result, Amorim must drop him back into a slightly deeper position, which should allow £74m addition Benjamin Sesko to return to his rightful position as a regular starter.

The Slovenian, who earns £160k-per-week, joined the Red Devils from RB Leipzig during the summer window and has already impressed the United faithful with his tally of two Premier League goals.

Before the clash against Arne Slot’s men, the 22-year-old, who’s been dubbed a “monster” by analyst Ben Mattinson, had scored in back-to-back matches in England’s top-flight.

His underlying stats further indicate the immediate impact he’s had in Manchester, with his tally of 4.1 aerial duels won per 90 handing the side the needed outlet they’ve hugely lacked.

He’s also registered 1.3 chances created per 90, whilst notching the same amount of shots on target per 90 – demonstrating why he’s the perfect all-round option in the manager’s system.

Such numbers should make him a mainstay within the current first-team squad, which should see Amorim recall him ahead of the clash with Brighton today.

The boss will undoubtedly want to continue the excellent recent run in the top-flight, with the reintroduction of Sesko undoubtedly handing them a massive boost in their quest.

The Old Firm rivalry is often a topic of hot discussion. A game between two of football’s fiercest enemies, picking between Celtic and Rangers is a simple task for those who simply have no choice but to follow the trend of family choices, but that hasn’t stopped others from having their say – even in WWE.

Whilst it’s as easy as 1,2,3 in the wrestling industry, it’s not quite that simple between Scotland’s biggest rivals. John Cena previously spoke about putting Celtic “front of his list” simply because of his local basketball team, the Boston Celtics. Whether he’d go as far as handing out some Attitude Adjustments at Ibrox feels unlikely, however.

WWE Superstars are also often seen using football to poke fun at live UK crowds. Just recently, Liverpool fan JD McDonagh was seen gloating in an Alexander Isak shirt in front of a disgruntled Newcastle audience. Santino Marella, meanwhile, infamously took six attempts, six shirts and six teams before getting the crowd onside with an England shirt several years ago.

There are still some lifelong football fans within the squared circle, however, and one WWE Superstar just revealed the bizarre way that he chose between Celtic and Rangers.

Drew McIntyre reveals how he chose between Celtic and Rangers

Having his say, Drew McIntyre revealed how he chose between Celtic and Rangers. The towering Scot and former WWE Champion is one of the biggest football fans in WWE and previously spoke about how he was led towards one of his passions.

With McIntyre not shy with his support for Rangers and Cena keen on the Celtic idea, it’s fair to say that we’ve stumbled on one more way to spice up the Old Firm derby. Anyone got a referee?
