A International Board anunciou mudanças nas regras do futebol. Nesta quarta-feira, houve uma reunião na Escócia para definir as novidades. A decisão já havia tomado no início de março. Todas as mudanças vão entrar em vigor no dia 1º de junho. Árbitros, técnicos, treinadores e jogadores sofrerão com as novidades.

Um lance que é discutido, principalmente, é a mão da bola. Até o momento, a arbitragem precisa interpretar o lance para marcar a infração. Contudo, com a nova regra, todas as bolas que encostarem na mão terá que ser automaticamente marcado.

O comportamento dos técnicos também vão ter que ser regulados, depois da imposição da regra. No momento, o árbitro somente adverte ou expulsa imediatamente. No entanto, com a mudança, o juiz poderá dar amarelo para alertar o treinador.

Além disso, as substituições também irão sofrer alterações. No momento, da troca dos jogadores, o mesmo deve sair pela linha mais próxima para acelerar o andamento do jogo.

O goleiro também ganha vantagem com as novidades. Na cobrança das penalidades, o arqueiro tem que estar posicionado com os dois pés sobre a linha, mas com a nova regra isto vai mudar. O tradicional número 1 pode estar com um pé sobre a marcar da cal, o que facilita no impulso.

Com relação ao tiro de meta, o goleiro também terá que ficar ligado. Agora, a bola só entra em jogo somente fora da área. Depois do recurso, a partida já está valendo mesmo com a bola dentro da área.

Para finalizar, o árbitro poderá colocar bola ao chão quando houver toque em seu corpo. No momento, o dono do apito apenas dá sequência ao duelo.

Vale salientar, que as competições da América do Sul, como Campeonato Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil e Copa Libertadores vão começar com a nova regra. Na Europa, por conta do calendário, as mudanças só vão acontecer na próxima temporada.

O São Paulo está repleto de dúvidas para o clássico do próximo sábado, contra o Palmeiras, Na reapresentação do elenco após o empate, em 1 a 1, com a Ferroviária, o meio-campista Nenê não apareceu no campo. A novidade ficou por conta do quarteto formado por Liziero, Reinaldo, Everton e Biro Biro que não treinaram com bola, mas correram em volta do gramado.

Na mira do Fluminense, Nenê permaneceu no Reffis tratando do inchaço no joelho esquerdo, sofrido em choque com Igor Gomes na semana passada. O jogador ainda não tem previsão de retorno, mas sua situação não preocupa a comissão técnica.

Já o quarteto segue na transição da parte interna do CT da Barra Funda para os gramados – a última fase antes de voltar a treinar com o restante do grupo. Os quatro jogadores, junto com os titulares, cumpriram a programação da comissão técnica e correram em um trecho determinado pelos preparadores físicos Carlinhos Neves e Wellington Valquer.

Mesmo assim, os quatro não devem ter condições de entrarem em campo no próximo sábado. Reinaldo, com um estiramento muscular, e Liziero, se recuperando de dores no púbis, são os que estão mais próximos de estarem à disposição de Vagner Mancini.

Por fim, o argentino Jonatan Gomez se recuperou de uma amigdalite e treinou com bola. O meio-campista, no entanto, trabalhou com o preparador físico Pedro Campos e depois participou de um coletivo.

Os reservas, incluindo o volante Jucilei e o lateral Bruno Peres, fizeram um treino de finalização e depois disputaram um coletivo em campo reduzido. Nesta parte do treino, o atacante Pablo – titular durante os 90 minutos contra a Ferroviária – completou a atividade. O camisa 12 já tinha trabalhado no Reffis e também corrido no campo com os demais titulares.

No próximo sábado, às 16h30, o São Paulo mede forças com o Palmeiras pela 11ª rodada da fase de classificação do Campeonato Paulista. Atualmente, o Tricolor soma 14 pontos e está na vice-liderança do Grupo D, atrás do Ituano. Como não está com sua vaga assegurada no mata-mata, o time do interino Vagner Mancini precisa da vitória no Choque-Rei.

أعلن الاتحاد الإنجليزي لكرة القدم، عقوبة الألماني يورجن كلوب المدير الفني لليفربول، بسبب تصرفاته في مباراة توتنهام بمنافسات البريميرليج.

وانتقد كلوب، حكم مواجهة ليفربول وتوتنهام، بول تيرني، في حديثه بعد المباراة التي جمعت الفريقين في ابريل الماضي بمنافسات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وأعلن الاتحاد الإنجليزي إيقاف كلوب لمباراتين، وسيغيب المدرب في مواجهة ليفربول المقبلة أمام أستون فيلا، لكن تم تعليق المباراة الثانية من إيقافه حتى نهاية الموسم المقبل، بشرط ألا يرتكب أي انتهاكات أخرى لقاعدة الاتحاد الإنجليزي في هذه الأثناء، كما تم تغريمه 75 ألف جنيه إسترليني.

وفي بيان، قال الاتحاد الإنجليزي: “اعترف يورجن كلوب بأن تعليقاته بشأن حكم المباراة خلال المقابلات الإعلامية بعد المباراة تشكل سلوكًا غير لائق لأنها تنطوي على تحيز وتشكك في نزاهة الحكم، وهي تعليقات شخصية وهجومية وتشوه سمعة المباراة، فرضت لجنة تنظيمية مستقلة هذه العقوبات بعد جلسة استماع لاحقة”.

وكان كلوب صرّح عقب مباراة توتنهام: “كيف يمكن أن يُحتسب خطأ على محمد صلاح؟ نحن لدينا تاريخ مع بول تيرني، لا أعرف حقًا ما لديه ضدنا، لقد قال إنه لا توجد مشاكل ولكن هذا لا يمكن أن يكون صحيحًا”.

وأضاف: “كيف ينظر إليًَ؟ لا أفهم ذلك، في إنجلترا لا يتعين على أحد توضيح هذه المواقف، إنه أمر صعب حقًا ويصعب فهمه”.

وأتم: “احتفالي كان غير ضروري، وهو أمر عادل خاصة أنني لم أقل أي كلمات سيئة، تعرضت لشد في أوتار الركبة خلال احتفالي، ولكن ما قاله لي (بول تيرني) عندما أعطاني البطاقة الصفراء أن الأمر غير مقبول وليس جيدًا”.

With 24 needed from 12 balls, Asif hit four sixes off Janat in the 19th over to win it

Sidharth Monga29-Oct-2021The modern rivalry between Pakistan and Afghanistan produced yet another instant classic, but in the end Afghanistan ran out of bowling depth to lose with one over to go. Pakistan, who will know they manufactured a crisis especially with captain Babar Azam losing his wits around Rashid Khan, are now practically in the semi-final with Asif Ali bailing them out with four sixes in the 19th over.It was as loud as it was tense off the field with scenes of stampede outside the stadium when trying to keep out ticketless fans reminiscent of the rioting during the 2019 World Cup match at Headingley between these two sides. On the field, Afghanistan made all the running, be it a frenetic start, the slowdown to avoid getting bowled out, the finishing quick, the Mujeeb Ur Rahman attack first up, the holding back of Rashid, the Naveen-ul-Haq 18th over to create pressure.

Pakistan kept absorbing the blows before Asif struck the deciding ones in the 19th over. With one whole bowler’s quote to be made up of Karim Janat and Gulbadin Naib, who didn’t bowl on the night, Afghanistan just had too few to defend in 147.Helter skelterThe start was pure no-holds-barred manic Twenty20 energy. Three batters’ first scoring shots in the powerplay were sixes. Haris Rauf bowled the joint-fastest ball of the Super 12s stage. Shaheen Afridi didn’t get a wicket in the first over, but got one in his second. Imad Wasim took out a left-hand batter in his first and got carted two right-hand batters in his second. All told Afghanistan were 49 for 4 after the powerplay.It didn’t stop there. After a couple of overs’ lull, Najibullah Zadran reverse-swept Shadab Khan for four followed by a four and six off him in his coming overs. In between Imad got Janat. Shadab’s response to the six was the perfect wrong’un to take Najib’s edge and make it 70 for 6 in the 13th over.The Nabi-Naib showBy the time Najibullah got out, Mohammad Nabi scored just five off 12. He would continue going slow to 20 off 23 at the start of the death overs. They knew they had lost too many wickets up front, and now needed wickets in hand if they were going to get big runs in the back four. Rauf conceded just three in the 17th. In the 18th, though, Nabi exploited the short leg-side boundary to take down Hasan Ali and then capitalised on a couple of errors from Rauf. Forty-six off the last four gave Afghanistan something to work with.Mujeeb ties Pakistan downThat something became more substantial as Mujeeb started off superbly with his variations and accuracy, bowling four overs on the trot for 14 runs and the wicket of Mohammad Rizwan. By the time Mujeeb was done, Pakistan were just 44 for 1 in seven overs.Rashid Khan is congratulated after becoming the quickest to 100 T20I wickets•Getty Images

Holding Rashid backAfghanistan could have bowled an over of Rashid here looking for a wicket but they put all eggs in his basket by trying to bowl medium pace in the next three overs. This is when Babar, stuck on 11 off 17, found some momentum and got to a run a ball. When Rashid was finally brought on, Pakistan needed 76 off 10 overs with nine wickets in hand.Rashid turns it aroundIt is a matter of magic that with such an easy equation, with dew expected, with a few indifferent overs in the bag to capitalise on, Rashid still managed to create panic. In his first two overs, he drew nine false responses. At the other end, Fakhar Zaman got out looking to make up for the quiet at Rashid’s end. Babar failed to pick which way Rashid was turning it. He barely survived the wrong’uns and the edge off the legbreak went wide of slip. Mohammad Hafeez was not so lucky, holing out to long-on. Thirty-eight required off last four.The end gameAfghanistan now had a choice to bowl Naveen in the 17th and 19th overs so that their weakest bowler, Janat, is used only in the 20th, but they went ahead with Rashid in the 17th. Shoaib Malik eased all the pressure with a six second ball, but Babar still played panic-stricken shots without knowing which way the ball was turning. He was dropped first ball, but was out bowled last ball of the over.Naveen backed it up with a composed over in which a slower ball bamboozled Malik and the quicker one got him out. Shadab wanted to steal a single last ball of the over, but Asif wasn’t even looking at him. Time for dealing in quick singles was over.It was now time to exploit Afghanistan’s weakest bowler and the short leg-side boundary. First ball he went deep into the crease to convert the yorker into a half-volley and go miles over long-off. Next one was a perfect yorker. The third one was short, and he pulled it for a flat small six. Next one again a perfect yorker. The last two, though, missed the length and Asif ended the game.

أعلن حسين لبيب رئيس لجنة إدارة نادي الزمالك السابق، تأييده لقرار مجلس إدارة القلعة البيضاء بالاعتذار عن عدم المشاركة في مباراة كأس السوبر المصري أمام الأهلي.

واعتذر الزمالك عن عدم خوض لقاء السوبر المصري أمام الأهلي غدًا الجمعة ليحل بدلًا منه بيراميدز وصيف الكأس والدوري الموسم الماضي.

وقال حسين لبيب في بيان عبر حسابه الشخصي بموقع التواصل الاجتماعي “فيس بوك”: “الزمالك أولًا.. أزمة ليس لها لازمة.. يعلم الجميع أنني أرفض تمامًا نظرية المؤامرة والمظلومية لأنها لا تليق بمكانة وتاريخ نادي الزمالك الحبيب في قلوبنا”.

الزمالك يعتذر عن عدم المشاركة في مباراة السوبر أمام الأهلي

وأضاف: “لكن لا يمكن إنكار أن التجارب شاهدة على حالات تعرض فيها النادي لإهدار حقوقه لصالح المنافسين، ومن ذلك ما يظهر في واقعة إيقاف اللاعب محمود عبد المنعم كهربا”.

وأردف: “وللتوضيح  يلزم الإشارة إلى أن اللوائح المعمول بها في السابق والتي طبقت عند إيقاف لاعبي الزمالك كانت تفيد أن استئناف العقوبة لا يوقف تنفيذها، وهناك من يقول إن اللوائح تم تعديلها.. وهنا السؤال الأهم هل صحيح تغيرت اللوائح؟”.

وواصل: “وعندئذ نكون أمام ثلاثة احتمالات، أولًا أن اللوائح لم تعدل فتكون العقوبة سارية والاتحاد ملزم بتنفيذها كما تم مع لاعبي الزمالك دون تحايل أو مواربة من الاتحاد او لجانه”.

وأردف: “وثانيًا اللوائح تم تعديلها دون عرضها على الأندية وإخطارها بنسخة منها وتكون كارثة يتحمل الاتحاد عواقبها، وثالثًا اللوائح تم تعديلها بإجراءات صحيحة قانونيًا وتمت موافقة الأندية عليها وتم إرسالها وإخطارها بها”.

وأشار: “يجب على اتحاد الكرة إعلان ذلك على الملأ بدلًا من البلبلة والتكهنات والتي تزيد من شحن واحتقان الجماهير، من وجهة نظري يكون حل تلك الأزمة عن طريق تشكيل لجنة لتقصي الحقائق على غرار أزمة كأس العالم للأندية تكون مهمتها بحث ما يلي”.

واستكمل: “أولًا/ هل تم تعديل لائحة الانضباط وإبلاغ النادي وفق الإجراءات القانونية، وثانيًا هل التزم الاتحاد ولجانه بالقانون واللوائح في حل الأزمة”.

وأكد: “ثم في ضوء تقرير اللجنة سوف تتضح الحقيقة وإذا كانت الحقيقة تؤيد وجهة نظر نادي الزمالك”.

واستطرد: “يبدأ النادي على الفور بما له من مكانة وقوة بالدعوة لجمعية عمومية لاتحاد الكرة واتخاذ كل الطرق لمحاسبة مجلس إدارة الاتحاد ولجانه”.

واستأنف: “أخيرًا.. الانسحاب من البطولات بحسب الأصل لا يتفق مع قيم ومبادئ الرياضة وأهدافها السامية والتي تربينا عليها، إلا أنني كزملكاوي أؤيد الاعتذار عن بطوله السوبر في ضوء المعلومات المنقوصة التي أمامنا وأنا هنا أتحدث كواحد من جماهير نادي الزمالك العريضة في كل مكان والتي لم تصل إليها المعلومات الكاملة وبمنتهى الشفافية لكي تظهر الحقيقة أمام الجميع وأيضًا هناك تربص من اتحاد الكرة والذي كشف عن إصرار على تحدي للنادي والظاهر أمامنا أن هذا الاتحاد يكيل بمكيالين وغير محايد”.

واختتم: “إلا أن الاعتذار سجل موقفًا ولم يتم إلى الآن حل الأزمة ويجب استكمال خطوات جادة وفعالة من الجميع لمعرفة من المخطئ لاستعادة حقوق النادي ومحاسبة كل من يتجرأ على المساس بها.. عاش نادي الزمالك أكبر قلعة رياضية في مصر”.

AB de Villiers describes in Alison’s Tea Break how he came through what he calls his “breakdown” when he was on the cusp of losing his place in the South Africa side.

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Jul-2012In 2007, AB de Villiers was told by the then South Africa coach Mickey Arthur that he was in the last chance saloon. A poor run of form had left him with one last chance to save his place in the side and possibly his international career.In the latest edition of Alison’s Tea Break, de Villiers, now South Africa’s one-day captain, Test vice-captain, and one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world, talks in detail about his batting ethos and describes how he came through what he calls his “breakdown” in 2006/7 when he was on the cusp of losing his place in the side.He explains how he forced himself into a positive frame of mind – “brainwashing” himself, as he puts it – before hitting a century against the West Indies and following it up with an unbeaten double hundred against India in Ahmedabad.Five years later he is enjoying a leadership role within the South Africa team; a role which, he believes, is partly responsible for the way he has developed an astonishing repertoire of batting strokes.He talks Alison through his jaw-dropping assault on South Africa team mate Dale Steyn in the IPL earlier this year, and determines that while Test cricket is about playing the ball, T20 is about anticipating. The way de Villiers was able to read the game that night resulted in a blistering 47 off 17 balls, including 23 off one Steyn over, to turn the match for Bangalore Royal Challengers. Find out in this interview how he feels about having been No. 1 in the Test batting rankings, to what extent he believes talent is innate, and just how he achieves the right frame of mind to take on the world’s best bowlers time and time again.

ScorecardAlarm bells are ringing amid the rubble for Lancashire after a disastrous start to theior championship title defence•Getty Images

Three defeats for Lancashire in the opening four matches of their title defence will have alarm bells sounding at Old Trafford, at least those that are wired up on this construction site of a ground.Five down overnight after only 15.2 overs, Lancashire at least managed to delay the inevitable by a session before succumbing to defeat against Nottinghamshire.Glen Chapple, the captain, much in the manner of a coalition politician, insists there is no need to panic, and that the collection of largely unsung talents that ended the county’s 77-year Championship drought is only a couple of out-of-form batsmen away from coming good again.”We have some players who are searching for form but it is the same lads who won so many games last season and we are still very competitive in the field,” Chapple said. “We need a couple more batters in form, and a bit more of a contribution from the tail, myself included. We have to remain level-headed; there is never any point in panicking. All you can do is believe in your players and I’m not disappointed in any of them, just the results.”Lancashire were not helped in this match by the hamstring injury that restricted Tom Smith’s contribution to three overs with the ball and two one-legged innings with the bat, nor by the injury and illness that disrupted James Anderson’s bowling schedule, but it was difficult to avoid musing on the question of how exactly they did come out best last year.Then again, Nottinghamshire asked similar questions of themselves at times last season as they failed to defend the 2010 Championship and are scratching their heads a little over how they have come to win three of their first five matches, particularly while managing to bank only one batting bonus point from a succession of poor first-innings scores.”We go away after the first day thinking we’re rubbish and by the end of the game are thinking we’re not too bad,” their director of cricket, Mick Newell, said on Friday evening. Chris Read, the captain, more or less echoed those thoughts.”I wish it wasn’t like that, or that they’d give us some points for second innings batting,” Read said. “That’s something we have to address. The wickets have not been particularly batsman-friendly but we have always got to grips with conditions as the game has gone on. We just need to adjust a little bit earlier and start posting some decent first-innings scores.”We have shown in all the games we have played that the addition of Michael Lumb and James Taylor has given us the capacity not only to score at a good rate but to graft when the situation arises.”Those qualities were key to Nottinghamshire’s improvement in the second innings, which contrasted typically with the first, when only Samit Patel managed to sustain the necessary application on a pitch on the realigned Old Trafford square that was both slow and prone to unpredictable variations in pace and bounce.Lumb, showing he is more than a short-game dasher, spent almost four-and-a-half hours making 69, Taylor two-and-a-quarter over his 46, showing particular resilience against the second new ball.The other factor was Andre Adams, who took 10 wickets in a match for the sixth time in his career, conceding only 50 runs in 30 overs overall. At nearly 37, he has honed his bowling technique to such a level of consistency that there are few bowlers on the circuit a batsman would be more keen to avoid.”He does it for us week-in, week-out,” Read said. “He puts the ball in areas that make the batsman uncomfortable, whether right-handed or left-handed. He is not a huge swinger of the ball but he moves it both ways and with the majority of his balls he will be looking to hit off stump. He is always modifying it and he seems to get better with age.”Adams took the first of the five wickets needed for Nottinghamshire to complete their win, trapping Gareth Cross leg before on the front foot. Stuart Broad, still looking a little rusty after his injury lay-off, had the stricken Smith, batting with a runner, caught off what was judged to be glove; Graeme Swann bowled Chapple when the Lancashire captain gave him the charge; and then Patel, his left-arm spin belatedly pressed into service, had James Anderson caught at slip and Simon Kerrigan at mid-on.Chapple’s surrender rather let down Luke Procter, the 23-year-old all-rounder, whose application was the main reason the result was not reached more quickly. He had offered good support to Chapple with the ball during the period in which Anderson could not bowl and his unbeaten 41 was a gutsy and disciplined effort.Of the England bowlers put through their paces, Swann looked in good order, accounting twice in the match for Ashwell Prince, Broad less so. Anderson, despite a bout of tonsilitis, still demonstrated what a class act he has become, bowling brilliantly without reward in the first innings, perversely picking up five when less consistent in the second.”It was a great effort by Jimmy,” Chapple said. “Even when he was really crook and had nothing in his legs he wanted to have a go. When his fever subsided he bowled superbly.”Read agreed that Broad, in his first match since a calf injury caused him to be sent home early from England’s tour of Sri Lanka, has room for improvement. “He is coming back from injury and it took him a little bit of time to get into the game but once he did he managed to swing the ball and come through at a reasonable pace,” Read said. “He showed that he is fit, that there is no reaction to the injury and I don’t think he is far off his best.”

A day after Australia lost their second ODI in a row – an “unacceptable” performance – Mickey Arthur, their coach, has said that fighting fatigue will be one of the bigger factors in the rest of the triangular series. Arthur said Ricky Ponting, standing in as captain in Michael Clarke’s injury-induced absence, was a bit jaded, too, after a long summer. Ponting has followed his double-century in Adelaide with ODI scores of 2, 1, 6 and 2, but Australia haven’t even been able to think about resting him because of Clarke’s injury.”It [fatigue] is going to be a factor, there’s no doubt about it,” Arthur said. “We’ve pushed the guys incredibly hard in terms of our intensity, and our expectation around them. Some guys are feeling the effects of that, but we know what the schedule is, we have to make sure we manage the boys correctly, and that we’ve got the guys up and firing come tomorrow.”Australia play the second part of their double-header on Sunday in Brisbane, with a portion of the middle day spent travelling from Sydney to Brisbane. The heat is on Ponting now, and Arthur admitted he faced a challenge. “If I have to be totally honest Ricky is a little bit jaded, like a couple of our Test players that have played all summer,” Arthur said, “but that is the treadmill of international cricket, and they have to find a way to make their performances count and have an impact on the team.”Why not, then, ask the vice-captain, David Warner, to lead the side? “We saw some huge potential in Dave, we want to grow him as a leader, he definitely has that potential,” Arthur said. “He’s not ready yet, and he knows that, and we’ve communicated that to him.”We brought Dave into the vice-captaincy position to be part of our leadership group, and to learn from Michael and I when we strategise our position. In terms of taking guys on the field right now, he’s not ready for that yet, and he understands that. I reckon he could be a great leader in a few years to come. You talk about succession planning, we need to find a leader, and he’s one of those guys on our radar.”Arthur expects Ponting to make the kind of comeback he did in Tests easlier in the summer. “Ricky is a class act, there is no way you can write off a champion like Ricky Ponting,” he said. “He faced those same issues around the first couple of Test matches, and he came through the Test series, had a great series against India, and I hope he turns it around tomorrow.”When asked if Ponting should quit, Arthur didn’t commit either way. “I’d like to see Ricky Ponting in our team all the time, but as I’ve said through the summer, every cricketer’s currency is performance, that’s what gets you into the Australian team,” he said. “A character like Ricky Ponting is someone you want around the team all the time because he’s so inspirational, he’s still our fittest player and hardest trainer, and he trains with the most intensity. He’s a fantastic example to every guy who comes into this team.”

The team will be announced on Thursday but ESPNcricinfo understands that Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh are unlikely to be fit in time

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Sep-2011

India will play its first ODI series at home after winning the World Cup in April when it takes on England next month in five ODIs starting in Hyderabad. Yet, rather than the series being a welcome return home for the current world champions, the squad is likely to look very different from the one that won the title as injury problems that stalked the team on its tour of England show no signs of abating. The team will be announced on Thursday but ESPNcricinfo understands that Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh are unlikely to be fit in time, while Ishant Sharma and Munaf Patel are also set to miss out.Tendulkar continues to struggle with his toe injury and his absence raises the question of how much more ODI cricket he will play, especially considering that outside of the World Cup, he has played only two ODIs this year.Rohit’s broken finger that ruled him out of the Champions League Twenty20 should also keep him out against England, while the ligament damage to Yuvraj’s finger is not healing fast enough. Meanwhile Ishant’s ankle is still ginger and he’s unlikely to be risked for the series. Ishant has said the ankle needs surgery but he is holding off until after the tour of Australia. Keeping him out of the series could be a precautionary measure to have him ready later in the year. Munaf injured his ankle during the ODIs against England and missed the Champions League.On the plus side, Gautam Gambhir has recovered from his concussion and is playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Champions League. With so many players out, Ajinkya Rahane, who impressed in England, should keep his place. It could also open the door for Yusuf Pathan to make a return to the side after he was not selected for the tour of England.Given that Zaheer Khan is already missing, the big question is the composition of India’s pace attack. Do the selectors fall back on Ashish Nehra, who has declared himself fit (no one from the board has spoken to him though) and has been bowling at full tilt in the nets over the last six weeks? Or do they plump for a completely new line-up fashioned around Praveen Kumar, with the likes of Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron, Jaydev Unadkat, Abhimanyu Mithun and Vinay Kumar in the reckoning? The choices the selectors make will indicate how they plan to restock India’s bowling resources and whether they are thinking about the future.The identity of the spinners is also open to question, though to lesser degree. Harbhajan Singh is fit again and is the conventional, safe choice, but the pair of R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha could be worth a gamble. Ashwin played in the 0-3 series loss to England and the selectors might want to see how effective he is in helpful conditions.India won the World Cup in April in grand style but have struggled somewhat since. They won the first three ODIs on the West Indies tour but lost the two dead rubbers, before going down 0-3 to England, though they did manage a tie in the fourth game of that series.
