<h2>Bengaluru FC are having a tough season, currently positioned in the ninth slot on the ISL table with one victory, four losses, and as many draws.</h2>

Bengaluru FC have announced the departure of head coach Simon Grayson and assistant coach Neil McDonald amid a challenging ISL 2023-24 season. Following a decisive 0-4 home defeat against Mumbai FC in their recent match, the club and the coaching staff mutually agreed to part ways.
Former Indian footballer Renedy Singh has been appointed as the interim head coach until a permanent replacement is secured. The decision to make changes in the coaching staff comes as Bengaluru FC face a tough season, currently positioned in the ninth slot on the ISL table with one victory, four losses, and an equal number of draws from nine matches.
Grayson, who assumed the role ahead of the 2022-2023 season, led Bengaluru FC to a runner-up finish in the last season of the ISL and the Super Cup, along with securing victory in the Durand Cup. Despite these previous successes, the team's performance in the current season has prompted the decision for a coaching reshuffle.

<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.

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.
