Camp Nou in a statement said that they were informed about the decision by the Argentine great's father Jorge Messi and his agent.

La Liga side Barcelona who wanted Lionel Messi to return have wished good luck to the 35-year-old on his decision of joining Major League Soccer's Inter Miami.

Looking at the conditions in the morning we thought an additional seamer would be beneficial-- Bowling Coach

Not picking R Ashwin was purely based on conditions: Paras Mhambrey 

Looking at the conditions in the morning we thought an additional seamer would be beneficial-- Bowling Coach

India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey said the tough decision to leave out the world's number one ranked bowler Ravichandran Ashwin from the World Test Championship final was based purely on conditions.
Conditions have been cold and overcast at The Oval, especially in the morning, over the past three days but day one saw bright sunshine in the afternoon and evening session.
"It is always a very difficult decision to drop a champion bowler like him. Looking at the conditions in the morning we thought an additional seamer would be beneficial.
"It has also worked in the past for us. Seamers have done well out here for us. You can always look back and say that additional spinner would have been beneficial but we took the call looking at the conditions," said Mhambrey, after Australia reached 327 for three on day one after being put in to bat.
Asked what kind of communications take place with the player who is not included in the eleven, he said: "When team discussion happens, we talk about composition over a period of days. We trained here for three four days before the game and seeing the wicket, conversations happen with players.
"The players also understand that (the importance of team combination)." The bowling coach said India can surely bounce back in the game.
"The second new ball did a bit. The morning session will be important. The wicket played better than our expectations in the last two sessions today,&rdquo; he said. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar slammed the Team's decision to drop Ashwin out of the Playing XI. While Gavaskar said, 'You are playing WTC final and you don't play the no. 1 test bowler, this decision is beyond my understanding. He added that Ashwin has traditionally performed well against Aussies and it is shocking taht there is no off spinner against this side.&nbsp; &nbsp;
Mahmbrey further informed that Umesh Yadav who bowled only 14 overs in the day had no fitness issues. He also felt bowlers could have done better.
"We could have been more disciplined. After 12-13 overs, we lacked discipline. I felt we conceded more runs that we would have preferred," Mhambrey said adding that they could have employed the short ball tactics earlier than they did.&nbsp;

If India win the Test mace, the Men in Blue will be bringing home an ICC title after over a decade.

He is currently placed 3rd behind Sachin Tendulkar who has 2,626 runs.&nbsp; #2 23-year drought If Virat Kohli smashes a ton, he can achieve multiple feats and break several records. But most importantly, he will end a 23-year-long drought of an Indian scoring a century in an ICC final. Sourav ganguly was the last palyer to smash a 100 in the final of teh ICC CHmapions Trophy in 2000.&nbsp; The 100 in WTC final will also be his 76th century and he will become the fastest to achive the feat in fewer innings than Sachin Tendulkar. While Sachin took 587 innings, Virat would be able to do it in 555 innings.&nbsp; #3 Most runs in ICC knockout matches Virat Kohli currently has 620 runs from 16 innings across 15 knockout matches. If her scores big he can surpass Ricky Pontings 731 runs and Sachin Tendulkar's 657 runs to become the most succesful batter in ICC torunament knockout matches.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Everybody knows his record, in 85-90 Tests, he has an average of 60 which is quite unbelievable. The consistency and impact with which he scores runs, I haven't seen any Test player doing that in last 10 years. It is credit to his skill and temperament," Kohli Star Sports.

The 6-time Ballon d'Or champion who has recently left Paris Saint Germain after the completion of his 2-year contract also noted that while he had heard La Liga had accepted everything, he said there were still some other things that need to happen.&nbsp; 'Although I heard that it was said that La Liga had accepted everything and that everything was fine for me to return, there were still many other things that had to happen.' He also told the news outlet that he had heard that to bring him the club will have to reduce players' salaries or sell players, which he said, he did not want.&nbsp; He further added, 'I have already been accused of many things that were not true in my career at Barcelona and I was already a bit tired; I did not want to go through all of that While he acknowledged his sound relation with Xavi he accepted that he spoke very little with President Laporta.&nbsp; 'Actually, I spoke very little with President Laporta, once or twice at most. With Xavi, I do have a lot of communication. With Xavi, we talked about the possibility of me coming back. We were very excited. We kept in communication."

A day after admitting at deliberately filing a false police complaint of sexual harassment against the outgoing WFI chief BrijBhushan Sharan Singh, father of the minor wrestler opened up about further details.
When asked why he was changing his story now, the father told PTI that it was better that the truth came out now instead of in the court.
In an elaborate explanation for the origin of his and his daughter's animosity against Singh, the father of the 17-year-old wrestler stated, 'The match was against a Delhi wrestler. The UWW and WFI rules were not followed (in the bout). I have no grudge against the Delhi wrestler. She is also like my daughter but the referee who was also from Delhi deliberately defeated my daughter.'
Asked why he directed his anger towards Singh when the alleged bias was shown by the referee, he said, 'Who had deputed the referee? It was the federation. And who is the head of the federation? So who I will be angry with?' he questioned.
Asked why such serious allegations were levelled against the WFI boss for the defeat of just one bout, the father of the wrestler explained, 'Because of that one bout, we missed out on four international tours and probably four medals.'
The Rohtak man also insisted that he and his daughter were not influenced by the protesting wrestlers.

A day after receiving government assurance, the wrestlers expressed intent to take part in the Asian Games selection trials scheduled to be held later this month.
However, the wrestlers want some more time to get ready for the trials.
"We want to take part in the selection trial but to prepare for it, we need at least a month and a half of training," international wrestler Satyawart Kadian, who is also Sakshi Malik's husband, told PTI.
Getting back into competition mode will be a tough task for the wrestlers. Some haven't competed since the World Championships in September last year, while others last hit the mat even earlier, during the Commonwealth Games in August 2022.
Asian Games are set to take place in Hangzhou, China from September 23 to October 8.
