South Africa has been dealt a huge blow for the ODI series as Kagiso Rabada will miss out due to an injury....

Sachin also recalled an instance from the year 2002 when he was watching Federer and Andy Roddick play. He was accompanied by Yuvraj Singh who, unlike Sachin, was rooting for Roddick.

When asked if he and Yuvraj ever spoke on the same issue again, Sachin responded that he never had to as Federer’s game spoke for him....

It was announced last week that Sackboy: A Big Adventure was getting Ellie and Abby skins in honor of their series’ annual September 26 celebration, The Last of Us Day. A Big Adventure launched with the PS5 in fall 2020, and took the iconic Sackboy in a direction quite dissimilar to his days of LittleBigPlanet.

It is a poignant, if imperfect analogy. After its total victory in World War II, Washington helped rebuild Europe and Japan as bulwarks against communism, laying the foundation for prosperous trading blocs.

In preparation for the AFC U-23 Championship qualifier in Bangkok next month, Datuk Ong Kim Swee’s U-22 team has already played four matches, with a variety of results. One shining light from the short time that Ong has taken charge of the team is definitely Safawi Rasid. The Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) winger has been used further up front by Ong in those friendlies and that has culminated in the 20-year-old notching up three goals in those four matches....
