Injured Tye ruled out of Sri Lanka T20Is

Fast bowler Andrew Tye has been ruled out of the T20I series against Sri Lanka and might potentially miss the series against Pakistan as well following an elbow injury. Cricket Australia will name a replacement player in the coming days.

Australia will still be able to field a strong pace attack with the likes of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Billy Stanlake and Kane Richardson at their disposal. “(He did it) throwing, I think it was one of the first drills he did. He was a bit off balance and felt a bit of a pop in there,” skipper Aaron Finch said on Tye.

The home side also received a huge boost despite losing Tye when Finch was declared fit to play the opening game. Finch was initially a doubtful starter after missing two games for Victoria with a side strain. “(I’m) all good, ready to go. I felt really good batting in particular,” Finch confirmed.

“I was a bit worried about throwing yesterday, it wasn’t the most comfortable the last couple of days in Perth. Getting here and batting yesterday, throwing a fair bit gave me some confidence. I’d say I’m 99 percent chance of playing tomorrow. Earlier in the week, I was (in doubt). It didn’t progress all that quickly, but the last three days I got full movement and full training today.”

Middle-order batsman Ashton Turner has also regained fitness to throw himself into contention despite having some limitations with regards to throwing. “He’s not bowling yet, batting no problem at all. His throwing is a bit more limited to inside the ring,” Finch said. “That’s something that’s going to have to be monitored along the way with his rehab. The fact he can throw with some decent pace in the ring. I think yesterday was more with workload and not wanting to overdo it.”

The first T20I will be played on Sunday (October 27) in Adelaide.

Eating diet high in fiber and yogurt may slash deadly cancer risk

Eating a diet that contains high amounts of fiber and yogurt may help prevent lung cancer, according to a new study out of Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The results build upon a growing body of research on the health benefits associated with eating both products, particularly the positive changes fiber and yogurt have on gut health.

Yogurt is a fermented food product, meaning it contains a large number of beneficial bacteria. Dietary fiber, meanwhile, is essentially fuel for the bacteria found in one’s gut, helping support one’s gut microbiome and, as a consequence, overall health. Regularly eating fermented foods and high amounts of dietary fiber have been linked to many health benefits.

In addition to supporting the gut microbiome and digestion, studies have found that yogurt and high fiber foods may help protect against gastrointestinal cancer and cardiovascular disease. The latest study also suggests that consuming these two foods may also help protect against lung cancer.

The findings result from an analysis of data from past studies that collectively involved around 1.4 million people in Europe, Asia, and the US. Breaking down the numbers, the researchers found that people who ate the largest quantities of dietary fiber and yogurt had a huge 33-percent drop in lung cancer risk compared to the people who ate the lowest quantities.

The link between this diet and lowered lung cancer risk was found in men and women from different backgrounds, including people who had never smoked all the way through to people who were current smokers. It’s thought that the prebiotic (dietary fiber) and probiotics (fermented yogurt) combination is driving this benefit.

BCB set to take legal action against Shakib Al Hasan

The Bangladesh Cricket Board(BCB) is issuing a show-cause notice to Test and Twenty20 skipper Shakib Al Hasan after he made a deal with a telecom company, violating the terms and conditions of the board.

BCB president Nazmul Hasan said that they will take strict action if he is unable to provide a satisfactory reply. Grameenphone, the local telecom giants, announced on October 22 that the country’s leading all-rounder joined them as their brand ambassador to inspire and build an empowered digital society.

Both the parties inked the deal a day after the country’s cricketers called for a strike placing an 11-point demand to the board. The strike eventually ended on October 23. According to BCB’s players’ agreement, a cricketer under national contract cannot join a telecom company.

“He cannot make this agreement [with a telecom company] and why he cannot make this agreement is clearly stated in our contract paper,” BCB president Nazmul Hasan told Bengali daily Kalerkantho on Saturday (October 26)

“Robi [Telecom] was our title sponsor and Grameenphone did not bid and instead they grabbed few cricketers by paying them TK One or Two Crores. What happened in the end? The board lost TK 90 Crores in three years,” he said.

“Some professionals earned but the board had to undergo suffering. It cannot happen. So they are informed about it on paper. I think even from the ministry they are told not to do any agreement with the telecom company without informing them while it is there in our contract paper. Then how come he does this agreement without informing us. And look at the timing. It was done when there was no cricket [due to strike]. Look at the audacity,” he said.

“We are going into legal action. We cannot spare anyone in this regard. We will ask for compensation. We will seek compensation from the company as well as from the player. I heard about it [on October 23] and asked to sent legal notice to Grameenphone to claim compensation. I asked to send a letter to Shakib for an explanation. We must give him a chance to show he didn’t break the rule. To us, it seemed that it was something like ‘give a damn to the board’ and if that is the case we will take tough action,” he added.

BCB chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury told a news agency that they were not aware of this deal with Grameenphone though every cricketer under national contract must take permission from the board for their commercials.

“‘We were not aware of his [Shakib’s] deal with Grameenphone,” said Nizamuddin. “Usually what happens is we don’t encourage players to have any commercial dealings with a company that can have conflict with the national sponsors,” said Nizamuddin.

“at present, we have Unilever as our team sponsors but the deal is supposed to end soon. If any of our players are endorsing any telecom company, then the other telecom companies will not be interested to bid for the national team when our present deal is over with Unilever,” he said.

Ahead of the World Cup, national opener Tamim Iqbal was approached by one telecom giant to endorse them for a mammoth price of TK Three Crores but he was refused by the board as top officials stated that they are not going to compromise in this regard.

After tasting success with remakes like ‘Drushyam’ and ‘Guru,’ seasoned star Venkatesh has agreed to reprise the role of Tamil star Dhanush in the Telugu remake of ‘Asuran,’ to be produced by Kalaipuli Dhanu and Suresh Babu. “Venkatesh was impressed with the action film which depicts the age-old conflict between lower and upper caste people in villages in a hard-hitting way. He felt that that film provides him an opportunity to showcase his fiery side after a gap,” says a source, close to the actor.

“Actually, Venkatesh also wanted to do the remake of another Tamil blockbuster ‘Vikram Vedha’ and his team even worked on the script for a year before Venkatesh dropped the plan since he felt that slumlord roles doesn’t connect well with Telugu audience,” the source adds. The 50-plus-star, who bounced back into reckoning with fan-centric ‘F2’ relying on his flair for comedy and delivered the top grosser of his career. “He always wanted to explore roles with different shades and has been in touch with talented Tamil filmmakers. They keep discussing scripts and this time he has chosen ‘Asuran’ which wowed critics as well as Tamil viewers across the world,” the source points out. In fact, Venkatesh is one of the few Telugu stars to deliver more blockbusters with remakes in the last two decades. He reprised the roles of Tamil stars like Prabhu(Chanti), Bhagyaraj (Abbayigaru and Sundarakanda), Karthick (Raja) and Sarath Kumar (Suryavamsam) to carve a niche for himself.

Virat Kohli Keen On Playing Day-Night Tests, Says Sourav Ganguly

The first-ever day-night Test match was played between Australia and New Zealand at the Adelaide Oval in November 2015. Four years later, the number one Test team in the world, India, is yet to play a five-day game under lights. However, newly-elected BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has said that skipper Virat Kohli is keen on playing pink-ball Tests.

“I must say that Virat Kohli is agreeable to it. There are reports that he does not want to play day-night Tests which is not the fact. So once the captain of India is agreeable to it, life becomes a lot easier. We will see how we can push it. The game needs to go forward,” Ganguly said on Friday.

“We all are thinking about this and we will do something about it. I am a firm believer in Day-Night Tests. I don’t know when will that happen. But till the time I am around, I will be pushing for it,” Ganguly added.

Cricket Australia wanted the Adelaide Test to become a permanent day-night fixture and hoped for India to agree but the visitors did not endorse the idea during their most successful tour Down Under.

Australia’s cricket chief Kevin Roberts had said that he hoped to convince India of the merits of a day-night Adelaide Test on their next tour in 2020/21.

Under current International Cricket Council (ICC) rules, the touring team can deny the home board’s fixture requests but that may change shortly.

India, who sits at the top of the ICC World Test Championship table with 240 points from 5 wins, are scheduled to play two five-day games against Bangladesh next month.

Nothing Wrong In Shiv Sena’s “50:50” Demand: Sharad Pawar

Nothing Wrong In Shiv Sena’s “50:50” Demand: Sharad Pawar

Reacting on the Shiv Sena‘s indication that it wanted a turn at the Maharashtra Chief Minister’s post, Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Friday said there is nothing wrong with the demand as Uddhav Thackeray’s party has the experience of running the state government.

Mr Pawar is being credited for stopping the BJP-Shiv Sena juggernaut from achieving its goal of 220 seats in Maharashtra. The BJP’s tally has come down from 122 in the 2014 polls to 105 seats, prompting Mr Thackeray to remind party Chief Amit Shah of his “50:50” promise.

“In the 1990s also, there was a 50-50 formula for Shiv Sena and the BJP. So they have experience (in running the government). So Sena can insist, nothing wrong in that,” Mr Pawar said in an interview with a news agency.

Shiv Sena’s Manohar Joshi was the Maharashtra Chief Minister from 1995-1999.

The Congress-NCP alliance has won 102 seats in Maharashtra despite Congress chief Sonia Gandhi not addressing a rally in the state. Mr Pawar, however, defended his ally.

“Congress’s local leaders worked with the NCP. There was perfect coordination. Yes, Mrs. Gandhi didn’t come because of her health but Rahul Gandhi came. I am a local here so I had to take the initiative,” he said.

Talking about the odds his party was facing going into the state elections, he said, “Yes, we were facing a lot of problems – means of resources, funding communication. The other side was pouring money like anything.”

On Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ controversial jibe over the exodus of leaders from the NCP, Mr Pawar said he is not fully mature. Amit Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attacks were not good, he said.

“I don’t think the CM is fully mature and he understands… So I don’t mind when he commented against me. But comments made by the PM (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) and the Home Minister (Amit Shah) were not good,” he said.

“I was given Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest honor (in India). If there are so many problems in me, why give me the award?” he added.

Mr Pawar, who had offered support to the BJP in 2014 before its tiff with Sena was resolved, said there was no question of going with the Shiv Sena.

Mr Thackeray on Thursday demanded the BJP honor the 50:50 agreement made during his meeting with Mr Shah earlier this year.”Sena contested fewer seats on BJP’s request; we can’t be so accommodating always,” he had said.

“People Don’t See What Happens Inside”: Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly, the newly-elected BCCI president, opened up about his rapport with captain Virat Kohli saying that the things between them should run smooth for the betterment of Indian cricket. “It has to be a very good one. many of them don’t see what happens inside,” Ganguly stated on Friday.

On Wednesday, the previous India captain was commonly elected as the board administrator in Mumbai. Furthermore, Ganguly became the first cricketer in 65 years to take command as a full-time BCCI president. Ganguly had said that Kohli is the “most prominent individual in Indian cricket”.

“Kohli is the most prominent person in Indian cricket, we will hear to him. Mutual admiration will be there, views will be shared,” Ganguly stated after taking charge as the BCCI president.

“We will assist him in every conceivable way, whatever he requires.”

On Thursday, on the sidelines of the selection panel, the BCCI president and secretary Jay Shah met skipper Kohli and his deputy Rohit Sharma to address the way ahead for Indian cricket.

The BCCI posted an image of the gathering with a caption, “All smirks at the Senior Selection panel gathering earlier this afternoon as the teams for the forthcoming T20I & Test series against Bangladesh were announced #TeamIndia.”

Earlier in the day, India’s T20I and Test squads for the upcoming home series against Bangladesh were announced.

Regular skipper Kohli has been rested for the T20Is and in his absence, Rohit Sharma will lead the team in the 3-match series.

Kohli will return to lead as India and Bangladesh will then play two Tests as part of the World Championship.
