<h2>During Sanjay Bangar's earlier tenure in 2014, Punjab Kings, then known as Kings XI Punjab, achieved their best performance to date by finishing as runners-up.</h2>

IPL franchise Punjab Kings have announced the appointment of Sanjay Bangar as their Head of Cricket Development for the upcoming 2024 season. This role marks Bangar's return to the franchise, having previously been part of their coaching staff from 2014 to 2016.
A statement from the franchise highlighted Bangar's extensive experience and the positive impact they anticipate he will have on their cricket development initiatives. "Mr. Bangar brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our organization, and we are confident that under his leadership, our cricket development programs will reach new heights," the statement said.
During Bangar's earlier tenure in 2014, the team, then known as Kings XI Punjab, achieved their best performance to date by finishing as runners-up. However, the team has struggled to reach the playoffs since then.
Expressing enthusiasm about his new role, Bangar stated, "It's my privilege to be with the Punjab Kings again. We have a good core of players as evidenced by the fact that we have the lowest number of player releases this year. The challenge is to give the squad the best support possible during and after the season to make the team stronger and deliver success."
Bangar, who has also served as the batting coach for the Indian national team, was the head coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2022 and 2023 IPL seasons. However, his contract was not renewed for the upcoming season.

Cricket World Cup Final pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium receives 'average' rating from ICC

The ICC has given an 'average' rating to the Ahmedabad pitch that hosted the Cricket World Cup final.

<h2>In the three knockouts of the ICC Cricket World Cup, only the India vs New Zealand pitch got a 'good' rating.</h2>

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which hosted the ODI World Cup final on November 19 between India and Australia, received an "average" rating for its pitch from the International Cricket Council (ICC). While the pitch was deemed average, the outfield earned a "very good" rating from ICC match referee and former Zimbabwean cricketer Andy Pycroft.
In the final, Australia triumphed over India by six wickets on a slow and sluggish pitch. India, opting to bat first, set a target of 240 runs in 50 overs, which Australia comfortably chased down in 43 overs, thanks to Travis Head's impressive 137 off 120 balls. <a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/7-players-who-can-fetch-big-money-during-wpl-auction-1702029916953">7 players who can fetch big money during WPL auction</a>
The ICC has consistently rated pitches used in India's league matches in Kolkata, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Chennai as 'average.' In contrast, the pitch at the Wankhede Stadium for the semifinal match between India and New Zealand was rated 'good.' This rating came amidst reports of India using a previously played-on surface for the semifinal.
The Eden Gardens pitch in Kolkata, the venue for the second semifinal between Australia and South Africa, also received an "average" rating from the ICC. This low-scoring match saw Australia chasing down South Africa's total of 212 with seven wickets lost in 47.2 overs. Javagal Srinath, former Indian pacer and ICC match referee, however, rated Eden Gardens' outfield as "very good."
The ICC defines an "average" pitch as one lacking in carry, bounce, or occasional seam movement, but maintaining consistency in carry and bounce. It may offer a degree of turn for spinners but falls short of the "very good" category in terms of carry, bounce, and turn.

David Warner finally reacts to Mitchell Johnson's scathing attack | AUS vs PAK

Australian opener David Warner has finally broken his silence on Mitchell Johnson's scathing criticism of his place in the squad.

#DavidWarner #Johnson #AUSvPAK

<h2>37-year-old David Warner chose not to engage in controversy over Mitchell Johnson's scathing remarks that had cast doubts on Warner's current form and place in the squad.</h2>

Australian opening batter David Warner recently shrugged off critical comments from ex-teammate Mitchell Johnson about his decision to set a retirement timeline. Johnson, in a column, had cast doubt on Warner's current form and referenced his involvement in the infamous ball-tampering incident.
Warner had expressed a wish for a farewell Test in Sydney, part of the upcoming series against Pakistan starting on January 3, 2024.
The 37-year-old chose not to engage in controversy over Johnson's remarks. Speaking at a Fox Cricket event, he said, "It wouldn't be a summer without a headline, would it? It is what it is. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions." This response marked Warner's first public comments following Johnson's harsh criticism.
Warner has scored only one Test century since the summer of 2020-21, but it was a significant double century against South Africa in his 100th Test at the MCG in 2022. Australian selectors remain supportive of Warner, though his successor beyond the Sydney Test is yet to be determined.
Reflecting on his journey, Warner credited his resilience to his upbringing, emphasizing the importance of perseverance amidst media scrutiny and criticism.
Australian Test captain Pat Cummins also voiced strong support for Warner, highlighting the team's protective nature, especially towards long-standing members like Warner and Steve Smith. Cummins stressed the team's recent successes and the positive aspects of Australian cricket, choosing to focus on these rather than Johnson's critical commentary.

S Sreesanth vs Gautam Gambhir: Former Indian pacer served legal notice by LLC - Reports

The ongoing feud between S Sreesanth and Gautam Gambhir took another turn on Friday, with Legends League Cricket reportedly sending a legal notice to Sreesanth.

<h2>LLC authorities had said on Thursday that they will conduct an &ldquo;internal investigation&rdquo; after Sreesanth's outburst against Gambhir.&nbsp;</h2>

The ongoing feud between S Sreesanth and Gautam Gambhir took another turn on Friday, with the Legends League Cricket reportedly sending a legal notice to Sreesanth. The development follows Sreesanth's claim that Gambhir referred to him as a 'fixer' during a match.
According to India Today, the LLC has stipulated that discussions with Sreesanth will only commence once he deletes the videos criticizing Gambhir from his social media platforms.
LLC authorities said on Thursday that they will conduct an &ldquo;internal investigation&rdquo; after Sreesanth uploaded the scathing video on his Instagram. The LLC said if evidence of misconduct is found, it will be "dealt with strictly".
On Wednesday, the umpires had to intervene and separate the two players. Sreesanth was handed a life ban by the BCCI's disciplinary committee due to his alleged involvement in the IPL 2013 spot-fixing scandal.
However, the ban was reduced to seven years in 2019 by the Supreme Court of India.

Juventus midfielder may face a 4-year ban in a doping case in Italy. He had tested positive for testosterone earlier.

Juventus’ Paul Pogba may face a 4-year ban in doping case

Juventus midfielder may face a 4-year ban in a doping case in Italy. He had tested positive for testosterone earlier.

Anti-doping prosecutors in Italy requested a maximum four-year ban for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba on Thursday after the World Cup winner tested positive for testosterone.
Pogba opted not to make a plea bargain with Italy's anti-doping agency, meaning the case will be tried before the country's anti-doping court.
If the four-year ban is confirmed, it could end the 30-year-old Pogba&rsquo;s career.
Four-year bans are standard under the World Anti-Doping Code but can be reduced in cases where an athlete can prove their doping was not intentional, if the positive test was a result of contamination or if they provide &ldquo;substantial assistance&rdquo; to help investigators.
Pogba&rsquo;s positive test was announced in September, stemming from an exam that was carried out after Juventus&rsquo; game at Udinese on Aug. 20. Pogba did not play in the Serie A match but was on Juve&rsquo;s bench.
Pogba has made no public comments on the case.
&ldquo;Humanely, I&rsquo;m sorry for Paul,&rdquo; Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said in October.
The doping case is another negative note for a player who has been bothered by injuries ever since rejoining Juventus from Manchester United in July of last year. He was ruled out of France&rsquo;s run to the World Cup final last year due to a knee injury, played in only six Serie A matches for Juventus last season and two this season.
There&rsquo;s also been a police investigation ongoing in France into allegations that Pogba was targeted by extortionists &mdash; including by his older brother Mathias, who has denied any wrongdoing.
Pogba scored for France in the 4-2 win over Croatia in the 2018 World Cup final. He played in 178 matches for Juventus from 2012-16.

Virat's 35th birthday is coinciding with Team India's game against Sri Lanka on November 5. CAB has big plans to make the special day memorable for the King.

India and Pakistan may be rivals on the field, but off it, the players always wish well for their competitors from both sides of the border.
On the eve of his side's ODI World Cup 2023 clash against Bangladesh in Kolkata, Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan sent out birthday wishes to Virat Kohli.
In a light chat with India Today he said, 'I hope he can get his 49th ODI hundred on his birthday. And I wish him that He could also get his 50th ODI century in this World Cup.'
Virat's 35th birthday is coinciding with Team India's game against Sri Lanka on November 5. The organisers at the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) have big plans to make the special day memorable for the King.

The former Indian opener has opened up about the verbal fight between him and batter Virat Kohli during the IPL 2023 match between LSG and RCB in Lucknow.

Gautam Gambhir opens up on verbal spat with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023

Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has finally opened up about his spat with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023.

<h2 class="slug">Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir has finally opened up about his spat with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023.</h2>

Gautam Gambhir has been making headlines in recent days for his ugly spat with S Sreesanth during Legends League Cricket match in which Sreesanth alleged that Gambhir called him a 'fixer' and now, the former Indian cricketer has opened up on his post-match altercation with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023.
Gautam Gambhir defends his actions from RCB vs LSG post-match incident
When Gautam Gambhir was questioned about the fight, he discussed it candidly on the ANI podcast. The former Indian opener claimed he had every right to defend his players following the game and that no one could come and walk over them.

&ldquo;As a mentor, no one can come and walk over my players and I&rsquo;ve got a very different belief. Till the time game was on, I had no right to interfere but once the game was over, if someone still gets into a heated argument with my players, I&rsquo;ve got all the rights to defend them,&rdquo; said Gautam Gambhir.
What happened between Gambhir-Kohli?
It all began with an altercation between LSG's Naveen-ul-Haq and Virat Kohli during the 16th over of 2nd innings during IPL match between RCB vs LSG . The star batter for the RCB, Virat Kohli, was not pleased with what Naveen-ul-Haq said to him when he approached him. Amit Mishra of LSG intervened to defuse the situation, but he ended up getting into a fight.
Virat Kohli and LSG coach Gautam Gambhir later engaged in a heated discussion about what happened on the field during the game. Attempts to calm Gautam Gambhir down and remove him from the ground were met with an angry expression from the LSG mentor. Even after Gautam Gambhir was shown all the details by Virat Kohli, the veteran player was still not impressed.&nbsp;
What's next for Gambhir?
Following the conclusion of IPL 2023, Gautam Gambhir left Lucknow Super Giants as a team mentor and joined his previous IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders as a mentor. Gambhir had previously led KKR from 2011 to 2017, winning two titles.

<h2>Alyssa Healy's first assignment as full-time captain will be Australia's tour of India that begins later this month.</h2>

Alyssa Healy has been appointed Australia women's cricket team's full-time captain across all formats following legendary Meg Lanning's retirement and will begin her new role during their tour of India starting later this month.
Australia will play a one-off Test, three ODIs and as many T20Is starting December 21 in Mumbai.
Healy had earlier led Australia since June in a series against England, Ireland and the West Indies.
All-rounder Tahlia McGrath, who recently led Adelaide Strikers to back-to-back WBBL titles, has been named as Healy's deputy.
The 33-year-old Healy, had been on expected lines, having earlier served as vice-captain of the national side under Lanning and has 14 years of international experience under her belt.
Healy was honoured to don the new role and said she would do whatever it takes to keep Australia's flag flying.
"I am honoured to accept the role of captain and am grateful for the opportunity to lead our team. I've really enjoyed the support of the players over the past few months and their encouragement to continue to be who I am and lead the group like I normally would from within," Healy was quoted as saying in cricket.com.au.
"My approach will remain consistent to what it has been previously, but I'll make my own mark on the role and be sure that I'm doing the best I possibly can for this group to maintain the success that we've had." Healy termed it a good time to lead the national team.
"It's an exciting time to be involved with this team, we're seeing the emergence of incredible young talent and are challenging ourselves to continually evolve as a group." Healy and McGrath's appointments were ratified at a Cricket Australia (CA) board meeting on Friday.
Healy's first big assignment as Australia skipper will be next year's T20 World Cup, to be held in Bangladesh.
McGrath said it was a privilege to be appointed as vice-captain and is looking forward towards working alongside Healy.
"Alyssa and I have played together for a long time, we know our respective leadership styles well and I look forward to helping her lead our group as we embark on a busy, but exciting international schedule," McGrath said.
Commenting on the appointments, Cricket Australia general manager of high performance and national teams, Ben Oliver said: "Alyssa is an outstanding player and leader who has earned enormous respect both on and off the field.
"Alyssa brings a wealth of experience to the role, and we have great confidence in her ability to successfully lead the Australian women's team in tandem with Tahlia as vice-captain.
"We are extremely fortunate to have a talented and experienced group of players who will provide great support to Alyssa and Tahlia as the team evolves and seeks to build on its outstanding performances."
Australia squad for India tour: Darcie Brown, Lauren Cheatle (Test only), Heather Graham, Ashleigh Gardner, Kim Garth, Grace Harris (T20s only), Alyssa Healy, Jess Jonassen, Alana King, Phoebe Litchfield, Tahlia McGrath, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Wareham (all formats)

#SAvIND #Ngidi

<h2>Lungi Ngidi has been replaced by Beuran Hendricks in the T20I squad.</h2>

Lungi Ngidi, the fast bowler from South Africa, has been sidelined from the upcoming three-match T20I series against India due to a left lateral ankle sprain. The 27-year-old will leave the national squad and continue his recovery process with his provincial team, the Momentum Multiply Titans, under the watchful eye of the Proteas medical team. This development was confirmed in a statement by Cricket South Africa (CSA).
Ngidi's availability for the four-day game scheduled for December 14-17 remains uncertain, pending further evaluation by the medical team. Initially expected to spearhead South Africa's fast bowling alongside Marco Jansen, Ngidi's injury has prompted CSA to call upon Beuran Hendricks, a 33-year-old left-arm pacer from Western Province, as his replacement.
Hendricks, who last represented South Africa in T20Is in 2021, brings experience to the team with 25 wickets from 19 T20I appearances.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that certain Russian athletes will be permitted to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics, discarding the possibility of a comprehensive ban due to Russia's involvement in the Ukraine conflict. This decision follows the IOC's steps initiated a year ago to gradually reintegrate Russia and Belarus, its military ally, into international sports. It also comes nine months after the IOC suggested sports federations consider allowing individual athletes to compete.
The responsibility of determining and implementing the conditions of neutral status for athletes lies with each Olympic sport's governing body. Eligible athletes must not have actively supported the war or be contracted to military or state security agencies. Those granted neutral status are required to compete without any national symbols, including flag, anthem, or colors. However, Russia remains barred from team sports events.
As of now, eight Russian and three Belarusian athletes are among the 4,600 who have qualified for the Summer Games, set to begin in July. While Russia sent a delegation of 335 athletes to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, only a handful are expected to compete in Paris.
Ukrainian athletes and officials, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, have consistently lobbied the IOC to fully ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from the Olympics due to the ongoing invasion that began in February 2022.
