      India out to impress in Commonwealth Games 2022

      India’s top-five standing in the Commonwealth Games will be threatened in shooting’s absence while the Birmingham 2022 organisers would look to deliver a successful sporting spectacle after a challenging build-up. The opening ceremony at the Alexander Stadium on Thursday evening will mark the beginning of the sporting extravaganza that remains huge in scale but is fighting to remain relevant. The UK is hosting the mega event for the third time in the last 20 years with the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) unable to attract new bidders out of the 56 countries that made up the sporting body due to cost constraints. The CGF has 72 members but is made up of 56 countries. Birmingham too was rather a late entry…

      Moeen Ali smashes fastest T20I fifty by an Englishman, helps host’s post mammoth total vs SA

      England all rounder Moeen Ali hit the fastest half-century by an English batter while playing against South Africa on Wednesday, 27 July. Ali went on a rampage alongside Jonny Bairstow and hit his fifty in just 16 balls, soaring the English total to 234 runs, their second highest in the T20I format of the game.

      ‘CR7 not welcome’ – Atletico Madrid fans show opposition to Ronaldo transfer with banner at friendly match

      Agroup of Atletico Madrid supporters made their feelings regarding a rumoured move for Cristiano Ronaldo very clear during a pre-season friendly against Numancia on Wednesday. Ronaldo has told Manchester United he wants to leave in order to play Champions League football in 2022-23, and a return to Madrid with Atletico would fit that bill.

      No shorts in cricket, please; it will ruin the game

      The traditions and culture of cricket that made it a gentleman’s game with a all encompassing aura are being threatened by ill conceived innovations. The latest move that is under consideration is to introduce shorts as part of a cricketer’s uniform. Several seasoned players have made it known that they are against this new idea. It will make the players look ridiculous. But the idea has not been ruled out and is still under debate. First it was the multi-coloured clothing that replaced the elegant white uniforms. That happened due to media tycoon Kerry Packer whose objective was to rope in a bigger TV audience more than upkeeping the tradition. It was initially ridiculed and termed “pyjama cricket” but later it was tolerated by the purists…
