Najmul Hossain Shanto has quit as Bangladesh’s T20I captain. BCB president Faruque Ahmed told a local newspaper that Shanto had informed the board of his decision but that he will continue to lead in Tests and ODIs.”Shanto has finally informed us that he will not continue as the T20I captain. We have accepted his decision. There’s however no T20s coming up, so we will not think about a new captain just yet. We have an understanding with Shanto that when he is fit, he will continue as the Test and ODI captain,” Faruque told the Dhaka-based on Thursday.This puts to rest the captaincy debate after Shanto had expressed reluctance towards being all-format captain back in October. At the time Faruque convinced Shanto to continue as captain across formats. Shanto however got injured during an ODI against Afghanistan in November, which prevented him from touring the West Indies.There, Bangladesh handed the Test and ODI captaincy to Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The visitors drew the Test series 1-1, before they lost the ODIs 3-0. Litton Das then led the T20I side to a 3-0 series win. Whether that T20I result pushed the BCB into agreeing with Shanto is unknown, but the fact that Mehidy and Litton were good enough to be considered part of the leadership group was good news for Bangladeshi cricket.Shanto became Bangladesh’s all-format captain in February 2024. The appointment came on the back of impressive stints against New Zealand at home and away, in the absence of then-captain Shakib Al Hasan. Bangladesh’s subsequent T20I performances however were great as they lost bilateral series against Sri Lanka and USA. They managed to reach the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup last June but did not win a match in that round.Shanto too suffered a nosedive in form in the format, scoring just a single fifty in his 24 matches in charge, averaging 18.76 as the T20I captain despite having shown improved form in the format after the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Whether he continues to be part of Bangladesh’s T20I side depends largely on his form during in the ongoing BPL.Bangladesh’s next T20I assignment is likely to be a three-match series against Zimbabwe in March this year. Litton could be a frontrunner for the captaincy given his showing in the West Indies. That said, he has been off colour with the bat in white-ball cricket of late.
As profissões da geração z vem crescendo dia após dia, depois do isolamento social as pessoas se profissionalizaram e antes o que era algo bobo, virou de fato uma profissão. O criador de conteúdo esportivos, Marco Marconi é a prova viva disso, o influenciador é apaixonado por esporte e uniu o útil ao agradável, mas engana-se quem pensa que a profissão é um mar de rosas, pois, exige muita atenção e cuidado para driblar os riscos e perigos que tem dentro de um estádio de futebol.
Que o influenciador é apaixonado por futebol não resta a menor dúvida, não é mesmo? Em suas redes sociais, o criador de conteúdo já acumula mais de 200 mil seguidores e milhares de visualizações em seu perfil ‘boleiros tips’. “Sou apaixonado por futebol, aliás, por esportes no geral. Sempre que posso vou aos jogos ou se vou viajar, faço questão de conhecer os estádios locais. Se der para acompanhar os jogos melhor ainda, a atmosfera é fantástica e em cada lugar, existem características próprias da região, a única coisa que é unânime e não muda em lugar algum, é a visão do torcedor, que adora dar seus palpites, alguns deles fazem questão e pedem para falar. Vou a muitos jogos e normalmente me sinto seguro. Geralmente dentro e fora dos campos tem um efetivo policial, as torcidas ficam divididas e hoje um público maior de famílias aumentaram as idas aos estádios devido a essa maior segurança. Mas sabemos que existe violência, principalmente nos trajetos. Por isso, é sempre importante verificar qual será o seu caminho até o Estádio. Se for usar transporte público redobrar a atenção ao usar camisas de times para evitar eventuais problemas. Usar uma camisa básica branca é sempre bem-vinda (risos)”, comentou.
Vemos inúmeras notícias falando sobre a violência nos estádios e o criador de conteúdo revelou detalhes sobre e como é na prática. “Sempre quando vou aos estádios mostro as torcidas. Em partidas que é permitida torcida visitante mostro as duas e se possível peço os palpites. Assim, cria maior interação e o público gosta de ouvir as duas opiniões. Quando há uma maior rivalidade entre as torcidas, já teve caso de estar um pouco mais tenso e acabou que não conseguir ir filmar a torcida visitante, mas geralmente consigo filmar e é bem legal”, disparou o criador de conteúdo esportivo”, revelou Marco.
Segundo Marco, desde que começou a criar conteúdos visitando estádios, seu perfil passou a ter mais interação do público com pedidos inusitados. “Recebo sempre mensagens de seguidores elogiando o conteúdo de gente que gostou porque não conhecia o estádio, ou mesmo curtindo os palpites. Assim, percebi que trazer a experiência para quem está vendo o vídeo de casa, é fazer ele se sentir dentro do estádio. Depois que comecei a mostrar mais essa parte do futebol, tive um crescimento maior nas redes, até pela proximidade e vínculo que se cria com o público. O futebol é uma paixão nacional e todo mundo quer saber como foi aquela partida, a reação da torcida, etc”, contou.
O criador de conteúdo revelou que pretende ainda este ano dar um foco maior em vídeos de reacts dos torcedores nos estádios. “Em 2023 a meta é ir em estádios ainda não visitados e mostrar partidas importantes de campeonatos no país e fora dele. Recebo muitas mensagens de torcedores nos convidando para cobrir os jogos e dar seus palpites. O ano está apenas começando e ainda tem muita história boa para compartilhar. Outra ideia, é trazer mais os reacts dos torcedores durante os lances na partida. Como futebol é pura emoção, algumas vezes trouxe isso nos vídeos e senti que a galera gostou demais de ver esse tipo de registro”, concluiu.

Eden Gardens will host the tournament opener as well as the final, on May 25•BCCI
IPL 2025 is set to start on March 21 with Eden Gardens hosting both the season opener and the final on May 25. It is also understood that WPL 2025 will be held between February 7 and March 2.Ahead of the mega auction in November, the IPL had shared with the franchises the windows for the next three seasons (2025-27). For 2025, the window was between March 15 and May 25. However, with the 2025 Champions Trophy final scheduled for March 9, the IPL decided to keep close to a two-week gap between the tournaments. The full IPL schedule is expected to be out later this month.As has generally been the case, the home venue of the defending champions will host the opener and final. This season it’s Eden Gardens, home base of Kolkata Knight Riders who won IPL 2024. While Eden Gardens will also host Qualifier 2, the first two playoff matches – Qualifier 1 and Eliminator – will be played in Hyderabad.The 2025 season will comprise 74 matches, the same as the last three seasons – ten fewer than the 84 games a season listed by the IPL in 2022, when media rights for the 2023-27 cycle were sold. In the tender document for the new rights cycle, the IPL had listed a varying number of matches per season: from 74 games in 2023 and 2024, 84 in 2025 and 2026, and a maximum of 94 games for the final year of the deal in 2027. Four venues shortlisted for WPL The BCCI has also added two new venues for the WPL. Along with Mumbai and Bengaluru, Baroda and Lucknow will also host WPL games this year. The exact number of matches at each venue is not yet known as the WPL schedule is not yet out for the season scheduled to begin on February 7.
Chelsea are widely believed to have sealed a 2026 deal for Brighton starlet Julio Enciso via their sister club Strasbourg, with the 21-year-old poised to spend one year in Ligue 1 before switching to Stamford Bridge.
Fabrizio Romano and other reliable media sources confirmed the news earlier this week, and it is a transfer which has received due praise considering Enciso’s sky-high potential.
The Paraguay international, tipped to become a legend for his country, has already displayed real glimpses of his talent in the Premier League – even scoring against Chelsea and notching an assist during their 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town in April – when he was on loan at Portman Road.
£17 million for a youngster of his calibre could be seen as a real steal by BlueCo, and they were helped by the fact his Brighton contract was due to expire next year.
By joining Strasbourg on loan this season, Enciso will gain valuable minutes in France, and in a league well known for developing attacking players.
Chelsea’s strategy to nurture him abroad reflects a clear plan: allow him to mature in a competitive environment before embracing the pressures of west London. For BlueCo, who have doubled down on signing young, high-upside players, Enciso fits the model perfectly.
Versatility is one of his standout traits. Primarily deployed as an attacking midfielder, Enciso is equally comfortable drifting in from the left wing or supporting as a second striker.
Statistically, his 2024/25 season tells a balanced story. While appearances for Brighton’s first team were limited – 12 in total – his productive loan spell at Ipswich yielded two goals and three assists in just 13 outings.
Journalist shares Julio Enciso to Chelsea twist after BlueCo deal
While the prospect of his eventual move to Chelsea is an enticing one, journalist Graeme Bailey is actually reporting information contrary to other sources.
Indeed, it is believed that Enciso’s 2026 Chelsea transfer is actually no guarantee after all, and he’ll have to prove his worth at Strasbourg first before Maresca’s side consider it.
Given the lack of competitiveness across the channel when compared to the hustle and bustle of Premier League life, odds are that the former Club Libertad Asunción sensation will light up Ligue 1.
Following a humbling defeat to bring them crashing back down to reality against Burnley, Sunderland have reportedly made contact to sign a La Liga midfielder for Regis Le Bris.
Le Bris: Sunderland must "learn" from Burnley defeat
Just one week ago, Sunderland were in dreamland when they swept past West Ham United to win 3-0 on the opening day. Since then, however, that bubble has been burst courtesy of fellow newly-promoted side Burnley. The Clarets handed Sunderland a disappointing defeat in an early relegation six-pointer, with Le Bris admitting it’s one that his side must “learn” from.
Le Bris also touched on the fact that this Sunderland side are still very much finding their feet together following a summer overhaul. In total, as many as 12 fresh players have arrived as the Black Cats aim to survive at the first time of asking in the Premier League.
Whilst 13 may be unlucky for some, reports are now suggesting that Sunderland have set their sights on yet another arrival before the end of the month.
Sunderland make approach to sign Christantus Uche
As reported by AS and relayed by Sport Witness, Sunderland have made contact to sign Christantus Uche alongside Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers this month. The Getafe midfielder has emerged onto the radar of Premier League clubs following an excellent rise in Spain and amid Getafe’s financial difficulties.
The Spanish club’s president Jose Bordalas even recently admitted that they need to sell players this month, telling reporters: “We’ll have to release some so we can register all or almost all of them. I wouldn’t like Uche or anyone to leave, but we have to accept the offers we have, and there are several.”
As a result of those financial problems, Sunderland could reportedly have the chance to land Uche’s signature for just €15m (£13m) this month, despite rumours that his release clause is worth as much as €25m (£22m).
Described as a “dominant midfielder” by U23 scout Antonio Mango last year, Uche now looks destined for the Premier League before the deadline arrives.
Arsenal may well have romped to a 5-0 win over Leeds United on Saturday evening, marquee summer signing Viktor Gyokeres scoring twice, but arguably, the spotlight was taken away from that performance.
Why? Well, before a ball was kicked at the Emirates Stadium, Eberechi Eze was formally announced as a new Arsenal player.
Eze walked down the tunnel and stepped onto the turf, donning his new shirt which read Eze 10.
What a moment, what a signing this is, not least because of the quality Eze possesses but the circumstances in which a deal happened.
In midweek, it looked as though the England international was destined to sign for Spurs. A fee had been agreed and once Crystal Palace’s Conference League tie had taken place, he was set to head to north London.
Eze did indeed head to north London but it was Arsenal he signed for instead. The Athletic reveal that a phone call between the playmaker and Mikel Arteta on Wednesday turned the tide and by the evening, everything had been sewn up.
So, what’s next, if anything for the Gunners?

With the Eze deal sewn up, attention will turn to player exits at the Emirates. Before the window slams shut on 1st September a whole wave of players could be heading for the exit door.
Polish defender Jakub Kiwior continues to be linked with a move away, as does Reiss Nelson. You sense they are two of the most expendable assets right now.
If Kiwior does leave, then reports suggest a replacement could be brought in.
That’s according to club insider Hand of Arsenal, who reported on Saturday that Kiwior is still “insisting” on leaving the club behind.

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
As a result, discussions have been held behind the scenes about signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in a late deal.
That being said, Guehi has reservations about moving to Arsenal given he’d have to compete with William Saliba and Gabriel for a place in the team. Not ideal in a World Cup year, it must be said.
Crystal Palace'sMarcGuehilooks dejected.
Liverpool have been leading the race for Guehi’s signature this summer with a deal mooted at around £45m.
An amazing Eze repeat
Have you ever seen a deal unite the fanbase more than Eze? We’re struggling to think of many examples, such is the rarity of the event, but Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are perhaps two examples that spring to mind.
So, why is there so much fuss? Well, back when he was just 13, Eze was released by Arsenal, a moment that left him in tears as he struggled to train.
This is a comeback story, it’s a tale of redemption, a character arc we very rarely see in football. Eze has gone away, done the hard yards via the likes of QPR and Wycombe Wanderers. His dream, however, is now fulfilled. He always wanted Arsenal. This move was a no-brainer.
The obvious emotional connection is a big factor here but plainly, the attacker is a phenomental talent. Like the Declan Rice move two years ago, he’s proven Premier League quality. As Gary Neville once said, “this was the banker”.
While success is never guranteed in life, it’s hard to see a world where Eze isn’t a rip-roaring success. Just last season, he was on fire in an Eagles shirt, scoring 14 and assisting 11 in all competitions.
Club allegiances aside, acquiring Guehi would be a very similar signing. Not just would the Gunners be hijacking Liverpool’s bid for the defender but he’s a Premier League-proven star, someone who would be nothing but a success.

Starring alongside Eze for a number of years now, Guehi was notably described as “England’s best player” by some at the European Championships last summer and since then he’s only gone from strength to strength.
Dubbed a “monster in defence” by Palace reporter Bobby Manzi, the centre-back is a natural leader having captained the side to duel FA Cup and Community Shield wins in recent months.

It’s rare an opportunity comes along to sign an established England international but in the space of just a few days here, Arsenal could spring a surprise and grab two of them.
If the Rice move two years ago was mega, then getting deals across the line for Eze and Guehi would be quite something.
One might argue that Arsenal don’t necessarily need a new defender. We hear that view point. The Gunners have added Cristhian Mosquera to their ranks over the summer. He looks like the perfect combination of Gabriel and Saliba.
However, if Kiwior does go, Arteta knows he needs a big squad after an injury riddled 2024/25. Guehi would be the perfect signing, sealed in Eze-esque fashion. How about that?

Arsenal could help Saka hit Salah levels with late bid for £100m "machine"
The incredible international would help Saka reach Salah levels at Arsenal.
Virgil van Dijk will undoubtedly go down as one of the best signings in Liverpool history, that’s despite costing a small fortune after joining the club back in January 2018.
The Dutchman cost a staggering £75m from Southampton, a fee that broke the record for the biggest fee paid for a defender, but to this day it appears to be a bargain.
Despite suffering an ACL injury a few years back, he’s managed to rack up 319 appearances for the Reds, winning six major honours during his seven-year spell at Anfield.
Liverpool legends Alan Hansen and Virgil van Dijk
He played a key role in the Premier League triumph under Arne Slot last season, hoping to replicate such a success in 2025/26 after signing a new contract over the last few months.
However, if he and his compatriot are to once again finish at the top of the table once more, added additions may be needed, that’s despite already spending nearly £300m already this window.
The latest on Liverpool’s hunt for new additions this summer
After being told he’s free to leave Real Madrid this summer, Brazilian winger Rodrygo has been a player who has emerged on Liverpool’s shortlist over recent weeks.
The 24-year-old could cost a pretty penny this window, with the Spanish giants demanding over £80m to offload the star who scored 14 times in all competitions last season.
However, in an attempt to further bolster their front line, Slot may look past a deal for Rodrygo, subsequently prioritising a move for Alexander Isak, according to The Standard.
They claim that, despite rumours of leaving talks for the Newcastle United striker, the hierarchy are preparing a second bid to try and land the Swedish international this summer.
It also states that the player himself still wants a move to Merseyside in the near future, but a deal would see the club break the English record once again, with a £150m price tag currently mooted.
Why Liverpool’s latest target would be a repeat of Van Dijk
As previously mentioned, Van Dijk has been one of the leading talents in England’s top-flight, showcasing the excellent work conducted by the hierarchy in recent times.
Liverpool's VirgilvanDijkapplauds fans before the match
Eyes were certainly raised given the mammoth fee forked out for his signature, but he’s only been dribbled past 47 times in his seven years at Merseyside – a truly staggering number given his longevity in the side.
Last season alone, the 34-year-old won 72% of the aerial battles he entered, scoring three goals, all with his head, highlighting the dominance he possesses at both ends of the pitch.
Such a deal will go down as one of the most effective in the Reds’ history, having the opportunity to land a deal as big as the Dutchman’s in the coming weeks.
Isak could follow Van Dijk in costing the club a record fee from another Premier League side, but like the Dutchman, any deal would hand the side the needed improvement to reach the next level.
When delving into his stats from the most recent campaign, the 25-year-old managed to register 23 league goals last season, with Reds forward Mohamed Salah the only player to notch a higher tally.
The Swede, who’s been labelled “world-class” by Statman Dave, also achieved a tally of 1.5 shots on target per 90, ranking him within the top 10% of all players in the division, showcasing the threat he poses in attacking areas.

He also completed 78% of the passes he attempted, whilst creating 1.4 chances for his teammates, having the all-round ability to link up with the players around him – subsequently making him a greater threat to the opposition.
Whilst Salah posted a mammoth tally of goals last season, the Egyptian will need support in the final third to help the Reds retain their crown within the 2025/26 campaign.
Isak would offer just that, potentially being worth every penny, especially if he can replicate the success he’s enjoyed at St James’ Park, which has seen him net 54 goals in 86 top-flight outings.
Splashing huge cash on other players in England’s top-flight isn’t alien to Liverpool, with Isak having the chance to be the next star in that trend, arguably being a great deal if he can replicate Van Dijk’s success at the club.
Van Dijk's new Matip: Liverpool scouting "one of the most exciting” CBs
Liverpool still need to sign a centre-back this summer.
After a summer break that felt far too long, the Premier League is finally back this weekend, and West Ham United travel to Sunderland for their opening game of the campaign.
It’s been a largely positive pre-season for Graham Potter and Co this year, as while they lost 2-1 to Manchester United, they dispatched of Grasshoppers as well as Everton and Bournemouth.
Moreover, while they’ve not pulled up any trees in the market, the Irons have made a few smart additions to a side that’s already strong enough to challenge for a top-half finish this season.
West Ham United manager GrahamPotter
They aren’t done either, as it now looks like West Ham want to sign a midfield talent who has won comparisons to the highly sought-after Carlos Baleba.
West Ham target their own Baleba
While West Ham haven’t been as busy as some of their rivals in the market this summer, they’ve still made some wise additions to the team, while also making a pretty penny on Mohammed Kudus.
Transfer Focus
The likes of Kyle Walker-Peters and Mads Hermansen, for example, should help make the side more difficult to play against, while the young El Hadji Malick Diouf looks like he could be a real handful for opposition defenders.
Interestingly, it seems like the Senegalese international might not be the Hammers’ only midfield signing, as they’re now moving for an up-and-coming gem who’d been compared to Baleba.
At least that’s according to a recent report from Sacha Tavolieri, who has revealed that West Ham are very interested in Ngal’ayel Mukau.
More than that, the journalist has claimed that the Irons have already made contact with LOSC Lille over the incredibly exciting talent.
In more good news, it shouldn’t be a prohibitively expensive deal to pull off, as the report states that the French side will demand a fee in excess of €20m, which is about £xxm.
While that is still a lot of money to spend on a young talent, Mukau looks like he’d be worth the risk, especially as he’s been compared to the sensational Baleba.
How Mukau compares to Baleba
As things stand, it looks like Manchester United are going to go all out for Baleba, who, according to some reports, is valued at more than £100m by Brighton & Hove Albion.
So, while nobody is suggesting that Mukau is at that level at the moment, it’s certainly encouraging that those in the know, such as respected analyst Ben Mattinson, are comparing him to the Seagulls ace.
Mattinson made the bold claim that, due in part to just how “well balanced” the 20-year-old is, he specifically makes him think of the now in-demand Cameroon international.
Interestingly, the opinion that the two players share similar characteristics must be shared by Lille themselves, as just a year after selling the Brighton ace, they signed the Antwerp-born gem to play in the same positions.
Moreover, just as the United target is known for his lung-busting runs from deep and ability to do a bit of everything in the middle of the park, the young Lille gem can excel as a box-to-box midfielder, in part thanks to his “ability in tight spaces and arriving into the box,” per Mattinson.
With that said, while the comparisons to a rising star of the Premier League are encouraging, they are not the only argument for signing the “tenacious” ace, as dubbed by U23 scout Antonio Mango, as he also has some seriously impressive underlying numbers to his name.
For example, FBref ranked him in the top 3% of midfielders in the Champions League last season for goal-creating actions from shots, the top 4% for goals per shot, the top 6% for dribblers tackled, the top 12% for aerial duels won and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, Mukau might not be a particularly well-known name to fans of English football at the moment, but he looks set for a bright future, and the comparisons to Baleba are simply more evidence of that.
Therefore, while it won’t be cheap, West Ham should be doing all they can to sign him this summer.

Bawne had refused to leave the field after his dismissal against Services, causing a 15-minute delay
Shashank Kishore23-Jan-2025Maharashtra batter Ankit Bawne has been handed a one-match suspension for dissent. The decision was communicated to the team ahead of the side’s Ranji Trophy sixth round Group A fixture against Baroda in Nashik.Bawne’s refusal to leave the field after being given out in their fifth-round game against Services, prior to the white-ball season, created a flutter, even though there appeared to be conclusive evidence that the ball had bounced before Shubham Rohilla completed the catch at slip off left-arm spinner Amit Shukla.Bawne, who was the stand-in captain in that game, couldn’t opt to review the decision as the match was only on a livestream and not televised, which meant there was no infrastructure for DRS to be in place. His refusal to leave the field led to play being suspended for nearly 15 minutes, before the game resumed upon the intervention of match referee Amit Sharma and Maharashtra coach Sulakshan Kulkarni.Related

After the incident, Kulkarni had lashed out at the umpiring standards in domestic cricket. “Players are subject to fines and reprimand, what about proper assessment of umpires,” he had said. “Why do the same erring umpires continue to officiate and play spoilsport? When there are blunders of this nature, the anger is justified.”At the time, Maharashtra’s regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad, too, had posted replays of the dismissal. Gaikwad was playing for India A in Australia at the time.Bawne has been Maharashtra’s leading run-scorer this season, with 361 runs from five matches at an average of 51.57. He has scored one century and two fifties.Maharashtra are second from bottom in Group A and are already out of the reckoning for a playoff berth as they can reach a maximum of 22 points. As things stand, there are already two teams in the pool – Baroda and J&K – with more points.
