UEFA will hold a video conference on Wednesday this week with its 55 member federations as part of discussions on the potential rescheduling of matches postponed due to the coronavirus crisis, European football’s governing body announced on Monday. The meeting will see UEFA share an update on the progress made by the two working groups that were created two weeks ago in response to the crisis caused by the pandemic and following the decision to postpone the European Championship by a year. “The meeting will look at developments across all UEFA national team and club competitions, as well as discussing progress at FIFA and European level on matters such as player contracts and the transfer system,” UEFA said in a statement. UEFA previously stated its wish to finish the current season by June 30, the date when many players’ contracts expire. Carrying the season on beyond that date runs the risk of clubs losing their out-of-contract players before matches have been completed, unless

New dates for the Tokyo Games will ease the pressure to immediately reschedule the remaining qualifiers, said the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Monday, making it clear that no qualifying event will be held unless “fair access” and “appropriate preparation” is provided to the athletes. The IOC on Monday announced July 23 to August 8, 2021 as the new dates for the Tokyo Games. The governing body had postponed the showpiece event last week due to the rapidly-spreading COVID-19 pandemic. It was after all sporting activities, including the Olympic qualifiers across the globe, were brought to a halt due to the coronavirus outbreak which has so far killed nearly 35,000. “With the postponement of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 until July 2021, we have removed the pressure regarding the need to immediately reschedule the remaining qualification events, and we will take the necessary time and be prudent in the rescheduling of these events with the relevant IFs,” IOC said in a statem

नई दिल्ली पूर्व भारतीय ऑलराउंडर इरफान पठान का मानना है कि पूर्व भारतीय कप्तान महेंद्र सिंह धोनी को अभी क्रिकेट खेलने की जरूरत है और अगर वह खेलते हैं तो उन्हें भारत के लिए खेलना चाहिए। उन्होंने कहा, ‘महेंद्र सिंह धोनी को खेलने की जरूरत है। अगर वह ऐसा करते हैं तो निश्चित रूप से उन्हें भारत के लिए भी खेलना चाहिए। वह भारत के सबसे बेहतरीन क्रिकेटरों में से हैं।’ इरफान ने साथ ही यह भी कहा कि इस सवाल का जवाब बीसीसीआई से मांगा जाना चाहिए। पूर्व ऑलराउंडर ने कहा, 'केएल राहुल और ऋषभ पंत बीते एक साल से लगातार खेल रहे हैं तो इस सवाल का जवाब (धोनी के भविष्य) बोर्ड से मांगा जाना चाहिए।' इसके साथ ही उन्होंने अक्टूबर-नवंबर में होने वाले टी20 वर्ल्ड कप के आयोजन पर भी सवाल उठाए। उन्होंने कहा कोरोना वायरस के चलते इस कैंसल किया जा सकता है क्योंकि जान से कीमती और कुछ नहीं। धोनी के फैंस को उम्मीद थी कि उनका पसंदीदा क्रिकेटर इंडियन प्रीमियर लीग (आईपीएल) के 13वें सीजन से मैदान पर वापसी करेगा। हालांकि वैश्विक महामारी कोराना वायरस (कोविड-19) के चलते आईपीएल के इस सीजन पर अब संकट नजर आने लगा है। पहले इस

नई दिल्ली कोरोना महामारी के कारण (आईपीएल) के 15 अप्रैल तक टलने से टूर्नमेंट में पहली बार खेलने के लिए तैयार युवा खिलाड़ी निराश हैं लेकिन धैर्य और अभ्यास के साथ वे खुद को प्रेरित कर रहे हैं। बंगाल के युवा ऑलराउंडर शाहबाज अहमद ने विराट कोहली और एबी डिविलियर्स से पूछने के लिए सवालों की लिस्ट तक तैयार कर रखी है। लेकिन देश में जिस तरह से कोरोना वायरस के इनफेक्शन के मामले बढ़ रहे हैं, रॉयल चैलेंजर्स बैंगलोर के इस खिलाड़ी का इंतजार और लंबा हो सकता है। भारतीय अंडर-19 टीम के सितारे यशस्वी जायसवाल और कार्तिक त्यागी की भी यही स्थिति है जिन्होंने टूर्नामेंट से पहले काफी सुर्खियां बटोरीं। अब उन्हें कम से कम 15 अप्रैल तक का इंतजार करना होगा। तमिलनाडु के स्पिनर वरुण चक्रवर्ती भी इससे अछूते नहीं है। हालांकि इन खिलाड़ियों का इंतजार लंबा होता जा रहा लेकिन इनका मानना है कि यह समय भी गुजर जाएगा। शाहबाज का सपना इस साल रणजी ट्रोफी में दमदार प्रदर्शन करने वाले शाहबाज ने कहा,‘खिलाड़ियों की बोली में जब आरसीबी ने मुझे चुना तो मेरे लिए वह सपना सच होने जैसा था कि मैं भारतीय कप्तान और एबी डिविलियर्स जैसे दिग्गजो

The Australian government’s decision to seal its border for the next six months owing to the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect India’s Futures Tours Programme (FTP), including the much-awaited face-offs Down Under later this year. India’s tour of Australia is to begin with a T20 tri-series in October and end with the Tests in December. In between is the World T20, scheduled for an October 18 start, but the mega-event’s future is also shrouded in uncertainty due to the global health crisis. In Australia, there has been over 2000 positive cases along with 16 reported deaths, prompting the government to seal the country’s borders. The Sourav Ganguly-led BCCI, in all likelihood, might have to explore alternate plans amid the pandemic that has so far claimed over 30000 lives across the world. While the BCCI is yet to take a final decision on this edition of IPL, the international calender will be another cause of concern as there are tours of Sri Lanka (ODIs and T20s), Zimbabwe

Pakistani squash great Azam Khan has died of coronavirus in London, his family said. Azam, who won the British Open title successively between 1959 and 1961, had tasted positive for COVID-19 last week and died at London’s Ealing Hospital on Saturday. He was 95. Younger brother of the legendary Hashim Khan, Azam is widely regarded as one the best squash players in the world. He left playing due to an Achilles tendon injury and the tragic death of his 14-year old son in 1962. Even though he recovered from his injury two years later, Azam said he could not get over the death of his son. Born at Nawakille, a small village outside Peshawar, which is known for producing squash world champions like brothers Jahangir and Jansher Khan. Azam had settled in the UK in 1956. He had also won the most important hardball tournament, the US Open, for the first time in 1962 before injury struck him and his son died. https://ift.tt/3dEdWeg

The announcement of Cricket Australia’s players contract list has been deferred by at least a month due to the rapidly-spreading COVID-19 pandemic. According to a report in ‘Sydney Morning Herald’, Cricket Australia had “planned to bring forward the announcement of contracts from May to April this year, in a bid to provide more certainty to the states given the flow-on effect.” “But that plan has been put on hold for now until the end of April, given the economic uncertainty due to the pandemic,” the report said. “The Australian Cricketers’ Association agreed to the move.” The coronavirus outbreak, which has so far claimed more than 30,000 lives globally, has brought all cricket activities to a halt with Australia calling off their domestic Sheffield Shield, besides cancelling the three-match ODI series against New Zealand after the first game.

नई दिल्ली मुकाबला जब भारत-पाकिस्तान का हो तो रोमांच की कोई सीमा नहीं होती। और जब यही मुकाबला वर्ल्ड कप सेमीफाइनल हो तो बात ही क्या है। भारत-पाक मैच से पहले खिलाड़ियों पर कितना दबाव होता है इसे के उस बयान से समझा जा सकता है जो उन्होंने 2003 वर्ल्ड कप के बारे में कहा था। सचिन ने कहा था कि वह इस मैच से पहले 12 दिन सोए नहीं थे। हालांकि 2011 में यह अर्सा थोड़ा कम हो गया था। भारत ने हफ्तेभर पहले ही ऑस्ट्रेलिया को क्वॉर्टर फाइनल में हराया था और उसके बाद मोहाली में हुआ था टाइटंस ऑफ ऑल मैच। मुकाबले को लेकर उत्साह चरम पर था। सचिन तेंडुलकर को लेकर को लेकर काफी उम्मीदें वाबस्ता थीं। सचिन के नाम तब थे 99 अंतरराष्ट्रीय शतक। लोगों को आस थी कि यहां सचिन अपना 100वां शतक पूरा करेंगे। सचिन की कोशिशों और लोगों की उम्मीद को पूरा करने में पाकिस्तान ने कोई कसर बाकी नहीं रखी। उन्होंने मास्टर ब्लास्टर के एक नहीं बल्कि चार-चार कैच छोड़े। खैर, सचिन का 100वां सैकड़ा इस मैच में पूरा नहीं हो पाया। वह 85 रन बनाकर आउट हुए। भारतीय टीम ने बनाए 260 रन। यह लक्ष्य कोई मुश्किल नहीं था। और कामरान अकमल व मोहम्मद हफीज ने प
