'If we don't qualify, we go a step lower' - Carl Hooper on West Indies' 'distressing' position
Earlier last year, West Indies had failed to make it out of the qualifier to the T20 World Cup proper in Australia, losing to Scotland and Ireland.
"The position hasn't changed," Hooper said ahead of the ODI World Cup qualifier in Harare. "The point is can we go lower than this? Yes, we can go lower than this and if we don't qualify, we go a step lower. Never thought that I'd live to see the day where West Indies are trying to qualify for major tournaments. I sat in Australia, and we struggled to get through it in the T20s and here we are in Zimbabwe.
"No disrespect to the other teams, but we're playing against the likes of the USA, Nepal and Scotland. Even Afghanistan is ahead of us, and Bangladesh has gone ahead of us. So, this is distressing, and can we go lower? Yes, we can go lower. This game continues to remind you that until you start doing the right things, you can go lower. As I said before, I never thought I would live to see this day, but here I am in Zimbabwe, starting a game on Sunday. We've got to try and beat the USA."
"We're ready. I mean you get a feel, and you get a vibe for the energy in the team," Hooper said. "I think Daren Sammy, as you know, is a fabulous, inspirational leader. Now he has been tasked, trying to get West Indies into the qualification, which will be massive for us. So, the energy so far in Dubai and with the other boys joining us here in Zimbabwe has been great. We're looking forward to the game on Sunday and I'm sure we will do well."
"What we've tried to do is guys who are going to be an integral part of our campaign get a chance to spend some time in the middle," Hooper said. "We've had quite a few players coming from the IPL. I believe five or six of the boys…while they've been involved in the IPL haven't played a lot apart from maybe Pooran. So, the important thing was to get them some time in the middle.
"Having said that, the games that we're going to play here in Zimbabwe are going to start pretty early in the morning. So, we noticed that in the two games we bowled, it certainly swung around. So, we've addressed that, and we've been having conversations, so there's not much you can do technically but you can I suppose raise an awareness of conditions and how we might approach them to get the best out of the batting group."
3.5 NOW THAT'S OUT!! Full and fast, pinned in front of middle and leg! Warner is gone, no attempt even to review - Broad has burst through in the fourth over of the morning, and Edgbaston is all over this! "Cheerio, cheerio!" they crow, as Warner grits his teeth and heads for the dressing rooms. But hang on, because Hawk-Eye now has its say: and the ball was missing leg!! So a Tale of Two Missed Reviews ends with Warner back in the hutch for spit
NBA draft and free agency 2023: Latest deals, news, buzz and reports
NBA free agency season is almost upon us. While this year's list of free agents doesn't contain as many superstars as those in years past, there could be plenty of player movement via trades, which we've seen in recent offseasons. Among the big names who are free agents are Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving, who could be headed to the fifth different team of his career. His former Brooklyn Nets teammate James Harden could be following him into free agency if Harden declines his player option with the Philadelphia 76ers. Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet might also be looking for a new home after spending the first seven years of his career north of the border.
We'll have all the latest news and reports as our team of NBA insiders chases down every bit of information to keep you plugged in as the NBA reshapes itself once again this summer.
June 16
11:42 a.m. ET: The Indiana Pacers are looking to trade out of the 7th spot in the NBA draft in exchange for a high-level wing player, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. "Indiana has been talking to people about the No. 7 pick. I've been told they've been trying to get wing players. They've been trying to move out of No. 7 to get a high-level wing player. I think they might be able to, if they're motivated enough," Windhorst said on "The Hoop Collective" podcast.
10:36 a.m. ET: NBA prospect Kris Murray will not attend the NBA draft at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, New York on June 23, ESPN's Jonathan Givony tweeted. Murray will watch the draft at home with his family.
8:51 a.m. ET: The Golden State Warriors named Mike Dunleavy Jr. their new general manager on Friday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported. Dunleavy was previously Golden State's vice president of basketball operations. He will replace former president and GM Bob Myers.
8:28 a.m. ET: For the Los Angeles Lakers, this offseason will not come with any "big-game hunting" in regards to acquiring another superstar, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "In this league right now, with the new collective bargaining agreement, you can't really pay, have three max contracts, three superstars and expect to have any depth on its roster. It's going to look a lot the same," Wojnarowski said on "Get Up."
June 15
3:21 p.m. ET: The Utah Jazz have three first-round picks in next week's NBA draft, and could be looking to move up from their current spot at No. 9, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. "If there is a player on the board that they don't think will get to them, they're in position to [move up]," Wojnarowski said on "NBA Today."
3:18 p.m. ET: The Charlotte Hornets are still deciding what to do with the No. 2 overall pick. ESPN's Jonathan Givony said on "NBA Today" that Scoot Henderson had a great workout with Charlotte, while Brandon Miller's was not as good, but for good reason. "Miller is coming off an illness," Givony said. "He had mono in April, so he hasn't been training with the same intensity." See Givony's latest mock draft »
2:53 p.m. ET: Forward Danilo Gallinari has exercised his $6.8 million player option to return to the Boston Celtics for the 2023-2024 season, his agent, Michael Tellem of Excel Sports Management, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday. Gallinari tore the ACL in his left knee while playing for his native Italy in a FIBA qualifying game in August. He had signed a two-year, $13.3 million deal with the Celtics last offseason that included the player option for the second season.
2:30 p.m. ET: Could Bruce Brown return to the Denver Nuggets in 2023-24? At Denver's championship parade, Brown said to the crowd, "I've got one more question: One more year?" Brown holds a $6.8 million player option for next season. If he opts out, the Nuggets have non-Bird rights on him, and can offer him a new contract starting at $7.8 million.
8:08 a.m. ET: Two teams to watch out for if the Washington Wizards look to trade Bradley Beal? The Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. "There are other teams on the periphery that I think are involved, but two teams I think at the forefront, Miami and Milwaukee," said Brian Windhorst on "Get Up" this morning. "Milwaukee would be a very complicated trade."
June 14
3:22 p.m. ET: Will James Harden be back with the Philadelphia 76ers next season? Harden has a $35.6 million player option that he can decline to become a free agent. If he does, the 76ers might not rush to re-sign the former MVP. "The Sixers are not desperate," said Brian Windhorst on "NBA Today" this afternoon. "While they absolutely want James Harden back -- and I think there is a way they can play together and still be highly successful -- the Sixers have other moves they can make. If Harden walks, they have cap space. They have tradable contracts. They have things they can do. Harden is important, but he is not the be all and end all for the 76ers."
1:07 p.m. ET: As rivals begin reaching out to the Wizards to explore possibility of trading for All-Star guard Bradley Beal, new team president Michael Winger and Beal's agent -- Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports -- are staying in close contact to discuss scenarios presented to the franchise, sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
8:38 a.m. ET: Are the Washington Wizards and Bradley Beal going to go their separate ways? Brian Windhorst said on "Get Up" that a Beal trade would be hard to put together not only because of his remaining contract (four years, $207.7 million), but because he has a no-trade clause and can veto any potential deal. Still, he adds, "if the Wizards are going to make a move with Bradley Beal, it looks like it could be before the draft next week."
8:06 a.m. ET: Could Zion Williamson be on the move? Brian Windhorst said on "Get Up" that "the league is certainly wondering if the Pelicans are going to make, for the first time truly, Zion Williamson available." Williamson, who has played just 29 games over the past two seasons, is entering the first year of a five-year, $193 million contract extension.
Brian Windhorst discusses the possibility of the Pelicans looking to trade Zion Williamson.
June 12
2:59 p.m. ET: In the first major domino of free agency, Toronto Raptors All-Star guard Fred VanVleet has declined his $22.8 million player option and will become an unrestricted free agent in July, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. VanVleet, 29, has played his entire seven-year NBA career with the Raptors. Last season, he averaged 19.3 points and a career-best 7.2 assists per game.
Adrian Wojnarowski details what's next after Fred VanVleet declined his option with the Raptors to become an unrestricted free agent.
June 7
6:56 p.m. ET: Phoenix Suns ownership and executives had a series of conversations with Chris Paul and his representatives on the All-Star point guard's future with the franchise, including the possibility that he could be waived by the NBA's June 28 guarantee date on his contract, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Only $15.8 million of his $30.8 million for the 2023-24 season is guaranteed if he's waived -- unless the Suns keep Paul past that June 28 deadline date.
ITTF’s Bold Business Model Takes Center Stage at VivaTech-Global Sport Week
ITTF President Petra Sörling delivered a compelling keynote address at the highly anticipated Future of Sport event, a collaborative initiative between VivaTech and Global Sports Week. This transformative sports gathering, attended by nearly 100,000 industry professionals, enthusiasts, and visionaries, aimed to shape the future of sport through innovation and positive transformation. President Sörling’s keynote provided insights into the ITTF Group’s business model, setting a new industry standard.
In her address, President Sörling explored how the ITTF is actively shaping the future of table tennis by embracing emerging trends and pioneering innovative approaches. The ITTF’s bold and visionary business model, as exemplified by the success of World Table Tennis, has marked a transformative turning point in the future of sport.
The ITTF’s strategic decision in 2017 to reclaim all its rights and eliminate intermediaries laid the groundwork for a transformative business model shift. This visionary move aimed to safeguard table tennis from the influence of major investors and other financial forces reshaping the sports industry.
The ITTF Group brings together the International Table Tennis Federation as the sport’s governing body, the commercial entity World Table Tennis, and the humanitarian organization ITTF Foundation.
At the heart of the ITTF’s new business model is a profit-oriented mindset, professionalization, and the consolidation of all rights. World Table Tennis was established in 2020 as the ITTF’s commercial entity to revolutionize the sport’s future, propelling it to new heights of popularity and engagement.
This strategic approach has allowed World Table Tennis to introduce a new official professional table tennis series of events, attract corporate partners, and entice investors who recognize the immense potential and attractiveness of this new model. Notably, the ITTF remains the majority shareholder, ensuring the federation participates in decisions regarding the sport’s direction and long-term planning.
Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, World Table Tennis emerged as a resilient and successful venture, generating a remarkable 50% increase in revenue in 2022 compared to the ITTF’s performance in 2019, despite a limited event calendar.
“Future of Sport by VivaTech and Global Sports Week was a great opportunity to present to sport leaders how the ITTF is actively shaping the future of table tennis, exploring emerging trends and pioneering innovative approaches to drive our beloved sport forward.” – President Sörling
Beyond the significant business advantages, the creation of World Table Tennis has also brought numerous non-business benefits to the ITTF. The establishment of a dedicated professional events company has elevated the quality and professionalism of table tennis events, delivering enhanced entertainment value to fans worldwide. Furthermore, it has empowered the ITTF to focus exclusively on its core mission of developing the sport, from grassroots development to talent nurturing. During this period, the ITTF has made remarkable strides in governance, sustainability, and education.
Liga MX giants Club America have hired 43-year-old Brazilian coach Andre Jardine, the team announced on Friday.
Jardine, who was still managing Atletico San Luis on Friday during a 5-1 preseason friendly win over Mineros de Zacatecas, has now left the midtable Mexican side after over a year in charge.

The hiring of Jardine ends Club America's nearly month-long search for a coach that began in late May after Fernando Ortiz resigned from his position. Following a disappointing loss to rivals Chivas in the semifinal round of the 2023 Clausura playoffs, Ortiz announced his exit during a post-game press conference.
Since then, there has been a long list of options for the America coaching job. Names like Diego Alonso, Javier Aguirre, Eduardo "Chacho" Coudet, and also recent U.S. men's national team rehire Gregg Berhalter, were all reportedly in the mix.
Berhalter, who was announced as the returning USMNT head coach on Friday, confirmed he held preliminary talks with Club America.

— Club América (@ClubAmerica) June 17, 2023
Jardine will now have a quick turnaround before the start of Liga MX's 2023 Apertura season. On June 30, Club America will kick-off Week 1 with a home game against FC Juarez. Next month, he'll then need to prepare for Leagues Cup matches against MLS' St. Louis CITY SC on July 27 and the Columbus Crew on July 30.
According to ESPN Mexico's Cesar Caballero, the current plan is for Jardine to first step onto the sideline as coach for Club America during an upcoming June 20 friendly at H-E-B Park in Edinburg, Texas, against Monterrey.
With Atletico San Luis, Jardine was able to surpass expectations through quarterfinal appearances in two of the three seasons he managed. In May's Clausura playoffs, heavy favorites Club America narrowly sneaked past Jardine and his roster through a narrow 4-3 aggregate result in the quarterfinal stage.
A couple of minutes at the start of the FA Cup final encapsulated Ilkay Gundogan's status at Manchester City.
Stood on the Wembley pitch before kickoff against Manchester United, he gathered his teammates into a huddle for a few final words of encouragement, only for Ruben Dias -- a louder, more animated leader -- to step in and deliver his own speech. It might have annoyed another captain, but not Gundogan. Twelve seconds into the game and he was back on centre stage, having scored the fastest goal ever in an FA Cup final with a perfectly judged right-foot volley.
Gundogan is the epitome of a player who does his talking with his feet. His final act as City captain this season was to lift the Champions League trophy after a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in Istanbul, and it might yet be his last contribution for the club he joined from Borussia Dortmund in 2016. City want to keep him, but if he doesn't agree a new contract to extend his stay at the Etihad Stadium, there's interest from Barcelona, Arsenal and clubs in Saudi Arabia.
The 32-year-old ignored all talk about his future until the end of the season, but it's now time to make a decision.

After seven seasons together, manager Pep Guardiola knows exactly what he would be losing. Gundogan was so good during the run-in that teammate Kyle Walker joked in a news conference before the Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid that his form had earned the dressing room nickname "Prime Zidane." During the treble celebrations, Jack Grealish filmed himself singing "Gundo's on fire" to the tune of "Freed From Desire."
Gundogan, as he typically does, looked a little bit sheepish in the footage. Understated and slightly reserved, he's far more comfortable dishing out compliments about others than receiving them. It was probably for the best, then, that Gundogan wasn't in the media theatre at Wembley after his FA Cup final heroics.
"The player is exceptional," said Guardiola. "This season what he has done is just exceptional. Not just being part of the important moments and I don't forget the two goals he scored against Aston Villa [on the final day of the 2021-22] and this season many times he's scored important goals."
Gundogan has developed a reputation at City for saving his best for the big occasions. Against Villa in May 2022, with the Premier League title on the line, he scored twice in five minutes late in the game as Guardiola's team came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2. In the final seven games of this season, the Germany midfielder scored six goals, including both in the FA Cup final win over Man United. Two more doubles against Leeds United and Everton decided tight games in the title race with Arsenal.
Elected captain by the dressing room last summer following Fernandinho's departure, his leadership style is based on setting the example for everyone else. He has a keen eye for detail in everything from his diet to his sleep patterns. He eats steamed meat and tries to avoid carbohydrates, even monitoring his portion sizes and eliminating sugar altogether. Before he goes to bed, he has at least an hour away from his phone so the blue light from the screen doesn't affect his sleep.
Early in his career, Gundogan suffered a series of injuries and at one point in late 2013, he was told by a doctor that he would have to retire because of a spine problem. Yet the way he has looked after himself has seen him average 48 club games a year since the beginning of 2017; this season, he made more than 60 appearances for City and Germany combined. He will turn 33 in October, but any club interested in signing him this summer will know they are likely to get value for money.
It's not just his on-field presence that makes him so coveted. Gundogan shares a floor of a Manchester apartment block with Guardiola, and the City boss considers him a friend as well as a neighbour. He's a more thoughtful footballer, too, regularly posting on LinkedIn instead of other social media platforms.
As the leader of the dressing room, Gundogan has acted as a go-between for the squad and the coaching staff, including when defender Joao Cancelo was unhappy following his return from the World Cup. On the pitch, it's on Gundogan to make sure Guardiola's blueprint comes to life and he will often get a message from the touchline to relay to someone else.
Guardiola's well-oiled winning machine needs Gundogan and he has done everything he can to persuade him to stay. Asked about his future after the FA Cup final, the City manager replied simply: "He knows what I think."
Despite winning the treble, City and Guardiola will spend the transfer window trying to improve the squad in the hope they can do it all again next season. Yet if they convince him to stay, Gundogan could yet end up as their signing of the summer.
Taskin Ahmed grabs four as Bangladesh annihilate Afghanistan in their biggest Test win
Bangladesh 382 (Shanto 146, Mahmudul 76, Masood 5-79) and 425 for 4 dec (Shanto 124, Mominul 121*, Zahir 2-112) beat Afghanistan 146 (Zazai 36, Ebadot 4-47, Taijul 2-7) and 115 (Rahmat 30, Taskin 4-37, Shoriful 3-28) by 546 runs
The delivery immediately after, Taskin bowled Zahir, only for the ball to be deemed as an above-waist full toss, and thus a no-ball. Then three legal balls after that, Taskin crashed one into Zahir's elbow, thus rendering him unable to bat. After a few minutes of discussion and medical attention, Zahir walked off. That confirmed a massive win for Bangladesh.
Bangladesh's fast bowlers combined to take 14 wickets in the match, the most for them in a Test. The hosts entered the fourth day requiring eight wickets to seal the win, which they duly did inside 22 overs although eventually they had to take one wicket lesser. It started in the third over of the day when Nasir Jamal could do little against a beautiful delivery from Ebadot Hossain: the ball pitched outside off and straightened just enough to tickle the batter's outside edge.
Next over, Rahmat Shah survived when he was given out caught in the slips off a snorter from Shoriful Islam, before the TV umpire determined that the ball had come off his armguard. But Shoriful didn't have to wait too long for his first wicket of the morning: three overs later - the 19th of the innings - Afsar Zazai edged him to Mehidy Hasan Miraz at gully.
As a result of that wicket, in came debutant Bahir Shah, who was brought in as concussion substitute for captain Hashmatullah Shahidi. But Shoriful ended the 21st over by having him caught at third slip, where Taijul Islam took a good, low catch. That meant Afghanistan were 78 for 5, which soon became 91 for 6 when Taskin had Rahmat Shah caught behind for 30 four overs later. Taskin's third wicket came soon after, when he bowled Karim Janat for 18.
That meant all of the seven wickets to fall had gone to Bangladesh's fast bowlers, after which one finally went to a spinner. Brought into the attack to start the 32nd over, Mehidy struck third ball when he had Amir Hamza caught at short leg, where the ball landed after coming off his glove and helmet in an attempted pull shot. And next over, Taskin had Yamin Ahmadzai caught at mid-off to get his fourth.
But Afghanistan's troubles had begun on the third evening itself, when Shoriful had trapped Ibrahim Zadran lbw first ball, thus becoming the second Bangladesh bowler after Mashrafe Mortaza to start an innings with a wicket. Next over, Abdul Malik chased an away swinger from Taskin, only to be caught behind for 5.
Come the sixth over, Taskin struck Shahidi on the head with a bouncer. Shahidi, who had ducked at the ball after seemingly taking his eyes off, fell flat on the pitch, before walking off retired hurt. Effectively, Afghanistan were three down, before Bahir would take Shahidi's place.

'So negative they were almost inert': How the media reacted to the Ashes opening day
Everywhere you looked at a raucous Edgbaston, there was discombobulation to be found, as England laid out their summer's manifesto with a performance every bit as unfettered - and borderline unhinged - as the Bazball revolution had promised it would be.
And in response, the Australians went … well, a bit "un-Australian" in the words of the former England captain Alastair Cook on Test Match Special - and had that exact same sentiment been uttered by Warne himself, it would probably have counted as the most excoriating verdict ever to have been uttered in an Ashes contest.
As it was, Australia's commentators for the most part kept their counsel on a day that arguably ended with their side in fractional command in terms of the scoreboard, if not so much of the narrative of the contest.
"They've gone defensive straightaway," Ricky Ponting said in hushed tones on Sky Sports, adding that he was "not a huge fan" of Cummins' deep backward point to Zak Crawley, which soon became four boundary riders when the cut-savvy Ben Duckett came onto strike during his brief stay.
"Yes the bad ball might get cut, or square driven through backward point. But you've got to be able to protect yourself, protect your good ball and keep the batsman on strike," Ponting added. "If the scoreboard continually ticks over, batsmen never feel under pressure at all."
Writing in The Times, Gideon Haigh remarked that Australia's field placings were "so negative they were almost inert", while pointing out that the same bowling attack in Australia had dismissed England for fewer than 200 on six occasions out of ten.
"Cummins did not so much revert to defence as embark from it," Haigh added. "Within a few overs, more fielders were patrolling the perimeter than lurking in the cordon -- an umbrella field of a different kind, complete with sou' wester and oilskin coat, as a precaution against a deluge of boundaries."
Kevin Pietersen on Sky Sports didn't mince his words either. "Australia have got it wrong, but from an England perspective it is fantastic to see Australia so defensive," he said. "I think that they went straight to plan-B."
Geoff Lemon in The Guardian, however, had no such issue with the tactics, and preferred to focus solely on the day's outcome. "When the action finally got under way at Edgbaston, Australia coped just fine," he wrote. "Dynamism and controlling the flow of the match are well and good. On this pitch though, however it came about, keeping England to 393 would have the Australians well pleased.
"In the end, the surprise declaration was the only truly Bazball moment that Stokes could inject into the day," Lemon added. "It could be characterised as brave or as reckless, and probably that assessment would change depending whether it worked. In this case it didn't."
Writing in Australia's Daily Telegraph, Robert Craddock wrote of the message the declaration sent.
"On paper, Ben Stokes' declaration failed because Australia was 0-14 at stumps and licking its lips at the prospect of batting on a docile deck. England could pay for being so bold. But don't underestimate the force of a message that says 'we are coming at you hard ... from head-on and occasionally left field'."
Over in the Age, Daniel Brettig compared the early exchanges to the Rumble in the Jungle.
"Famously, Ali absorbed a flurry of Foreman's punches on the ropes in Kinshasa before breaking through to land a knockout blow in the eighth round," he wrote. "Australia's cricketers, having finally been confronted with the fearless tactics and mindset of England, now have a firsthand idea of what their own path to Ashes victory will have to comprise."
Nevertheless, we're only one day into a five-match series, and for Simon Wilde in The Times, this summer's psychological battle is only just getting started.
"Australian teams love to dictate terms and would have hated being dragged around like this tactically," he wrote, "being made to do things they do not normally do, seemingly at the whim of an England team who when they last met could not have been more pliable, more supine, and barely landed a punch all series.
"While Australia will naturally consider themselves very much in the game, this sense of being buffeted by a storm they are still trying to comprehend will disturb them. Might they sleep on the thought that England left some runs out there, that they themselves might be able to go well past 400 and set themselves up for later in the game … and in the process just get ahead of themselves?"
It was a theme that Tim Wigmore also explored in The Telegraph. "It is always disingenuous when teams proclaim to have no interest in how their opponents play," he wrote. "The question that lurked behind Australia's opening-day display was whether prudent planning had become something else: Focusing on the opposition's strengths at the expense of their own."

Mohammad Naim, Afif Hossain back in Bangladesh squad for Afghanistan ODIs
Afif, who was dropped during the home ODI series against Ireland, returned after some impressive showings in the DPL that ended last month. He had also led the Bangladesh A side in two of the three unofficial Tests against West Indies A recently before missing the last game, citing fatigue.
Yasir is among three players who have been left out from the ODI squad that played last month. Yasir didn't get a game in Chelmsford, but played two matches against Ireland in Sylhet in March. Mrittunjoy, who made his ODI debut in Chelmsford, made way for Taskin.
Afghanistan will leave Dhaka after the one-off Test that ended on Saturday. They will return to Bangladesh on July 1 to play the three ODIs on July 5, 8 and 11 in Chattogram, and two T20Is on July 12 and 14, in Sylhet.
Squad: Tamim Iqbal (capt), Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taijul Islam, Taskin Ahmed, Ebadot Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Afif Hossain, Mohammad Naim
In: Mohammad Naim, Afif Hossain, Taskin Ahmed
Out: Yasir Ali, Mrittunjoy Chowdhury, Rony Talukdar
