Manchester City's winning streak rose to 8 as they thrashed Burnley 5-0 in the FA Cup. A goal each by Gabriel Jesus, Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and an own goal by Kevin Long made sure it was an easy win for the hosts at the Etihad Stadium. The Citizens who last lifted the FA Cup in 2011, are now into the last 16.

Former Spain and Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has announced his retirement from football at the age of 39.&nbsp;Casillas, who finished his playing days at Porto, won the World Cup and two European Championships during an illustrious international career.&nbsp;He lifted five LaLiga titles and the Champions League three times with Real, making 725 appearances for the Spanish giants over 16 seasons between 1999 and 2015.&nbsp;Casillas won 167 caps for Spain, bettered only by Sergio Ramos, and was captain when they became world champions in 2010 and triumphed at Euro 2008 and Euro 2012.

The IPL&nbsp;franchises are considering arranging resort stays for their players in the UAE&nbsp;instead of 5-star hotels in order to avoid contracting Covid-19&nbsp;through shared air-conditioning ducts. According to the Times of India, where Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad are already in touch with a golf resort, Mumbai&nbsp;Indians and KKR&nbsp;are likely to set up more secluded camps in&nbsp;Abu Dhabi. MI are even considering renting an entire apartment complex. An IPL&nbsp;source&nbsp;told TOI&nbsp;that the resorts in Dubai are high end and arranging single-occupancy rooms will be much easier. According to a study,&nbsp;the virus can spread through ducts of centrally air-conditioned buildings, something which has made the franchises worried.

The BCCI&nbsp;has laid down coronavirus&nbsp;testing&nbsp;norms for the cricketers for a smooth functioning of the 13th edition of the IPL&nbsp;in UAE. A board official told PTI&nbsp;that according to a draft, Indian players and support staff will have to return negative for Covid-19&nbsp;at least 5 times before they start training in the UAE and subsequently will be tested every fifth day during the IPL. First, they will undergo 2 Covid-19&nbsp;tests, 24 hours apart, a week before joining the 14-day quarantine period with their respective teams in India.&nbsp;Following their arrival in the UAE, players and support staff will have to return at least 3 negative tests during a week's quarantine and only then they can enter the bio-bubble and start training.&nbsp;All overseas players and support staff will also have to undergo 2&nbsp;Covid-19 tests before flying in to the UAE.

They say that lightning doesn't strike the same place twice but it did on Tuesday night. Ireland who had famously stunned England in the 2011 world cup group game, did it again. Ireland upset the world champs yet again as they beat England by 7 wickets in the 3rd and final ODI to avoid a series whitewash. On back of captain Morgan's 14th ODI&nbsp;hundred the hosts finished at 328. Chasing which, the visitors lost&nbsp;one of their openers for 12 but then began the great Irish fightback. Paul&nbsp;Stirling went&nbsp;berserk and smashed a 128-ball-142. Skipper Andy&nbsp;Balbirnie&nbsp;proved to be his willing ally as he too completed a splendid ton. Their 2nd-wicket stand of 214 took Ireland really close to the finish line but the pair couldn't see their side home. A young Harry&nbsp;Tector&nbsp;and an experienced Kevin O'Brien helped Ireland cross the finish line in a last over thriller, completing&nbsp; the&nbsp;highest successful ODI run chase against the 3 lions in their own den.

World number 2 Rafael&nbsp;Nadal&nbsp;will not defend his title at the US Open this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, putting his bid to equal Roger Federer&rsquo;s&nbsp;record number of Grand Slam titles on hold. Justifying his decision on social media, Nadal&nbsp;wrote that the situation is very complicated worldwide, Covid-19&nbsp;cases are increasing and it looks like they still don&rsquo;t have control of it.&nbsp;The 34 year-old Spaniard described sitting out the tournament scheduled to begin on 31st August in New York as a decision he never wanted to take but added that he would rather not travel. With women's World number 1 Ash Barty&nbsp;already pulling out of the tournament, dark clouds loom over the future of US Open.

As the pressure on BCCI to boycott Chinese sponsorships got stronger, IPL head sponsor Vivo has pulled out of the tournament this year. The Chinese smartphone giants though will be back in 2021 and will continue till 2023. BCCI who recently announced their decision to retain all the sponsors for IPL, will now have to fetch for a new title sponsor for the 13th edition of the cash rich league. Vivo had paid Rs. 2199 crore for a 5-year contract in 2018 but decided to pull out for a year after backlash on social media. The postponed&nbsp;IPL is due to start from September 19 in the UAE.

The&nbsp;England and Wales Cricket Board on Wednesday appointed former star batsman Jonathan Trott&nbsp;as their batting coach for the upcoming 3-match Test series vs Pakistan. The 39-year-old was England's batting pillar&nbsp;and&nbsp;scored 3835 runs in 52 Tests between 2009-2015. Trott will also be joined by former New Zealand spinner Jeetan Patel and Warwickshire seamer Graeme Welch. England take on Pakistan in the 1st Test from Wednesday at the Old Trafford in Manchester.

As the BCCI&nbsp;issued standard operating procedures for state associations, the board is also planning to form a&nbsp;Covid-19 task force. Among others, BCCI&nbsp;has also included National Cricket Academy chief Rahul Dravid&nbsp;to be a part of it. Apart from the former India captain, the Covid-19&nbsp;task force will include a medical officer, a hygiene officer and BCCI AGM, Cricket Operations for resumption of training at the NCA in Bengaluru. As per the SOP, their responsibilities will include communicating clearly and regularly with the players, explaining measures being taken to manage risk and the advice being given to individuals to follow the same and updating the&nbsp;relevant higher management about&nbsp;Covid-19 cases. Apart from all the players, administrative staff of NCA will also be tested for Covid-19 before training resumes.

Having staged an incredible fightback&nbsp;in the Test series vs the Windies, England now face Pakistan in the longest format but this time the challenge will be a lot tougher. England all-rounder Chris Woakes&nbsp;too feels that they will have to be on the money from ball one. The series, which will also be held inside a bio-secure bubble, will begin from Wednesday at the Old Trafford in Manchester, the same ground where the 3 Lions won back-to-back Tests vs the Windies. Also, as a delighting news for the hosts, talismanic all-rounder Ben Stokes, who had an injury scare,&nbsp;was able to bowl in the nets on Monday. Though momentum is with England but&nbsp;Pakistan&nbsp;have also&nbsp;been training in England from almost a month now and are also well versed with the conditions. Interestingly, the last 2 times these 2 teams played in England, the Test series was shared and Pakistan will try to take an extra step this time around.

Since the World T20 hs been postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Cricket Australia has decided to also call-off their T20 series against the West Indies in October. Australia was scheduled to play 3 T20I between 4-9 October as a warm-up before the World T20. The decision though came as a welcome news for the BCCI&nbsp;as it was on a collision course with the IPL. But top players from both the sides are now available to play in the cash rich league,&nbsp;due to start from 19th September in the UAE. Most players from Australia and West Indies are top stars in almost all the franchises of the cash rich league.

Though the news of the Women's T20 Challenge being held on the sidelines of the Indian Premier League in the UAE in November came as a welcome news for Indian cricket but BCCI&nbsp;has received flak for its scheduling as it clashes with the Women's Big Bash League in Australia. With the WBBL&nbsp;scheduled to be played from October 17 to November 29, Australian star&nbsp;Alyssa Healy&nbsp;asked on Twitter as to what will the Indian players do who have already signed up to play in the Women's Big Bash League?&nbsp;The clash of schedule also means that several marquee players may have to choose between the two tournaments. The&nbsp;Women's T20 Challenge though is still subject to government clearance.

RSS&nbsp;affiliate Swadeshi&nbsp;Jagaran&nbsp;Manch&nbsp;on Monday asked people to boycott the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League. The organisation has slammed&nbsp;BCCI's&nbsp;decision of retaining its contract&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Chinese sponsors for the upcoming T20 league. The group's co-convener Ashwani&nbsp;Mahajan&nbsp;who wants BCCI&nbsp;to reconsider their stand said that at the time when the country is striving hard to make economy free from Chinese dominance in the market, the IPL&nbsp;governing council's decision&nbsp;is an aberration to the nation's mood. Mahajan&nbsp;felt that BCCI&nbsp;has shown disrespect to the 20 Indian soldiers who were killed in June in the&nbsp;Galwan&nbsp;valley clash by the Chinese troops.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

On the sidelines of the all-important IPL Governing&nbsp;Council&nbsp;meeting, the BCCI&nbsp;also issued a list of Standard Operating Procedures to all the cricketers and State Associations. Players will have to sign a consent form before resuming training at their respective centres. Under which, players will undergo 2 tests one day apart to account for false negatives. If both the test results are negative, only then they will be&nbsp;included in the camp. Apart from that,&nbsp;players are advised to take their own transportation&nbsp;to the stadium and will have to wear masks&nbsp;on the way. Also, the support and ground staff and officials over 60 years of age and any individual with underlying medical conditions will be barred from attending training camps until suitable guidelines are issued by the Government.

According to the latest guidelines issued by England&rsquo;s Football Association, players who deliberately cough at opponents or referees can now be shown red or yellow cards. The move came as a precautionary measure to curb the spread of Covid-19 and will be&nbsp;applied at all levels of the game immediately.&nbsp;The document added that referees must not look to punish routine coughing and should remind players to avoid spitting on the ground.

The BCCI&nbsp;on Tuesday invited bids for the new Team India's kit sponsor and Official merchandising partner. The new kit sponsor will replace educational technology giants BYJU's&nbsp;who had earlier replaced Chinese mobile phone manufacturer Oppo. The new bids can be lower than previous ones as the future calendar for Team India is still undecided due to the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Despite being the 4th worst affected nation in the world due to the global pandemic, Russians ignored all the warnings and participated in running events on Sunday. Strangely, promoted by the government, the country saw competitions simultaneously happen in&nbsp;85 cities including Moscow despite having a ban on mass events. Organisers confirmed that over 17,000 people ran in Moscow while 8,000 people participated in St. Petersburg. Despite having 11 time zones in the nation, all events were organised at the same time and were promoted by the administration. Russia with over 8 &amp; half lakh&nbsp;cases so far is the 4th most-affected nation in the pandemic after India.&nbsp;&nbsp;

American Golfer Justin Thomas&nbsp;won the World Golf Championships on Sunday to recapture the number one spot in the rankings for the first time since 2018. Thomas sealed the win with a 5-under on the final day to finish ahead of&nbsp;defending champion Brooks Koepka. It was a stunning effort from Thomas&nbsp;who at&nbsp;27 is the third-youngest since 1960 to reach 13 PGA Tour wins only after Tiger Woods and the legendary Jack Nicklaus.&nbsp;

Indian Golfer SSP&nbsp;Chawrasia&nbsp;has tested positive for Covid-19. A four-time winner on the prestigious European Tour, Chawrasia&nbsp;is in home isolation in Kolkata. The 2-time Indian Open Champion was training at Kolkata's&nbsp;Royal Calcutta Golf Course and was aiming to fly to England later this week. The 42-year-old confirmed that he had no symptoms and only went in for a test as it was mandatory to get a negative test certificate while flying to England.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

On the sidelines of the all-important IPL Governing&nbsp;Council&nbsp;meeting, the BCCI&nbsp;also issued a list of Standard Operating Procedures to all the cricketers and State Associations. The 100 page SOP defines all rules for cricketers, coaches and associations under the BCCI's&nbsp;umbrella. The cricket board also expects all the players to sign a consent form before getting back on the field. The SOPs&nbsp;will define the way forward for the players &amp; support staff about training protocols, match scenarios and situations when anyone tests positive for Covid-19.&nbsp;

Despite approving the dates &amp; schedule at the&nbsp;Governing Council meet, many answers are still not available for the IPL&nbsp;franchises. According to a report in the Times of India, the organisers have now asked the teams to delay their departure to UAE. Earlier, the teams were planning to reach Dubai in the 2nd week of August to get up to&nbsp;3-4 weeks for practice. IPL&nbsp;now wants the teams to not travel before 20th August and that has left the teams confused &amp; upset. The world's richest cricket board is currently in talks with the stakeholders and also the&nbsp;UAE&nbsp;cricket board to put certain Covid-19&nbsp;protocols in place for the teams which can explain the reason behind the delay. While some of the teams had already started working on the travel and stay bookings, the Governing Council expects more clarity in the coming week.
