Daniel Vettori, the New Zealand captain, has warned his side to guard against complacency during their upcoming ODI series in Bangladesh. New Zealand play five one-dayers in early October, before the tour to India, as part of their build-up to the 2011 World Cup.New Zealand beat Bangladesh 3-0 during the ODI series in New Zealand in February, but Vettori believes Bangladesh will be a completely different proposition at home. “If we go over there expecting to walk over them like we did here, we’ll be in for a bit of [a] fright,” he told . “But if we respect them and hopefully play to our potential, then we should beat them.”Vettori returns to the 15-member squad, along with Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder, who missed the tri-series in Sri Lanka in July. There is also a fair amount of inexperience in the squad: six members have played less than 10 one-dayers and Hamish Bennett, the 23-year-old Canterbury fast bowler, has earned a call-up. Bennet bowls in the mid-140 kph range, and Vettori said his pace would come handy, should he prove himself at the international level. “Andy McKay has really stepped up as well, so we are trying to produce a group of guys who can bowl a bit quicker and see if they can succeed in subcontinent conditions looking towards the World Cup.”Vettori, who missed the Sri Lanka tri-series for the birth of his second child, said he felt refreshed after the break. “It’s the longest time in my career that I’ve had away from cricket and it’s been nice to be at home with my family and get reacquainted with everyone. I feel great and I’m looking forward to playing cricket again.”Vettori had said the tour of the subcontinent would give his team an advantage over other overseas sides during the World Cup early next year. New Zealand play five of their six World Cup league games in India, and the other in Sri Lanka, while the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur – the venue for the upcoming ODI series – will host two of the World Cup quarterfinals.”We’re going to play games over there during the World Cup and probably important games,” Vettori said. “We want guys to feel pretty familiar, so when we turn up there on a short stay, World Cup time, they will know what to expect.”New Zealand play two warm-up games against a Bangladesh Board President’s XI on October 1 and 2, ahead of the first one-dayer on October 5.

South Africa’s cricketers will have improved financial packages for the next four years. The South Africa Cricketers’ Association (SACA), the players’ representative body, and Cricket South Africa along with six franchises signed a new contract that guarantees approximately 20% of the income generated by the board will be passed on to the players. The parties reached an agreement on August 20.”The MOU is a comprehensive document which regulates a host of issues relating not only to the Proteas but every professional cricketer in the country,” said SACA chief executive, Tony Irish. “Apart from money it regulates player contract numbers, player commercial programmes, match scheduling guidelines, conditions on which players are released to IPL and county cricket and player representation on various cricket committees.”SACA is all about ensuring that players are proper stakeholders in professional cricket and that they have a voice on issues that affect them on and off the field,” Irish said. “The MOU ensures that out of every 100 rand made by Cricket South Africa approximately 20 rand goes to the players. The players are effectively shareholders in the game, not just players on the field, so it’s in their interests to have an eye on the big picture and not only on runs and wickets.”Boeta Dippenaar, the SACA president, said: “Players have felt in the past that they don’t have a ‘voice’ in the decision-making processes which affect their lives but that is no longer the case. The players know the game and many of us have been playing it for a long time. It’s important that our views are heard and count on the various cricket committees and working groups where SACA acts as our voice and works with CSA and franchises.”Graeme Smith, the South Africa captain in Tests and ODIs, strongly supported the agreement. “This is the most thorough and powerful agreement any Players’ Association could have with its administrators. It gives us a genuine say in deciding our futures and the direction that the game is taking. From overseas players to Kolpak and IPL releases, from medical aid to pension – and whether we play 40-over or 45-over, it’s all covered in this.”CSA’s CEO Gerald Majola also spoke out in support. “The signing of the MOU between CSA, SACA and the Franchises is important as it allows us to have certainty in these key relationships and therefore work better together in driving our vision of making cricket a truly national sport of winners”.

Former Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has spoken to Newcastle target Charles De Ketelaere following links of a move to St James’ Park.

The Lowdown: Newcastle links

Nicknamed ‘King Charles’, the creative 21-year-old midfielder appears to be on Newcastle’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-news-4/” title=”Newcastle news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Reports have linked the Magpies with a move for the Club Brugge star, suggesting that they were in the picture for a potential €40m (£33.3m) deal at the end of the season.

De Ketelaere has been in fine form in recent months, contributing to 26 goals in 41 games in all competitions in 2021/22, with Pep Guardiola impressed by the Belgian’s display against Manchester City in the Champions League during the autumn.

The Latest: Mignolet’s comments

Sport Witness relayed comments from De Ketelaere in a story on Saturday.

The 6 foot 3 midfielder was told by former Sunderland goalkeeper Mignolet that ‘there’s not much to do in Newcastle’, with the 34-year-old possibly trying to put him off a move to England.

The Verdict: Shrewd target

De Ketelaere appears to be a star of the future and has impressed in the Jupiler Pro League with plenty of goals and assists.

The Magpies will have the funds for a big-money transfer following their takeover, so it could be a realistic deal to pursue, so long as the player isn’t put off by a move to Tyneside after Mignolet’s comments.

Newcastle have just two attacking midfielders on the books at this moment in time, so bringing in a third could be a shrewd move in the long run.

In other news – Deal agreed: Lee Ryder drops big Newcastle update during international break on ‘hard-working’ gem

Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips is likely to sign a new contract at Elland Road, according to The Daily Star’s chief sports reporter Jeremy Cross.

The Lowdown: Source drops worrying news

Phillips, who hasn’t featured since December, returned to training last week and is now in the final stages of his recovery from a hamstring injury.

The 26-year-old was the subject of a big-money bid from West Ham late in the January window, with the Whites rebuffing any interest in the holding midfielder along with wide man Raphinha.

A Leeds source then informed Football Insider that the club are expecting to receive major offers for Phillips in the summer which are likely to exceed the Hammers’ £50m offer last month.

The Latest: New deal imminent

Cross shared a story on The Daily Star on Tuesday afternoon in regards to Manchester United’s search for a new midfielder.

Phillips was a name mentioned, however, Cross revealed that Phillips has made it clear he doesn’t want to move to Old Trafford and is ‘poised’ to sign a new deal in Yorkshire.

The Verdict: Massive boost

Phillips has starred under Marcelo Bielsa over the last four years, with the Argentine transforming the player into a brilliant defensive midfielder. He has gone on to star on the international stage as well and was even named England’s Player of the Year for 2020/21.

His Transfermarkt valuation has also rocketed from £4.5m to £36m under Bielsa, so keeping hold of the club’s most valuable player can only be good news.

Hopefully, that will put off any interested parties for the time being, and you’d expect Leeds are willing to hand the midfielder a bumper pay rise on his current £25,000-a-week deal, especially when you consider Rodrigo is on four times that amount.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has dropped a promising injury update concerning Kyogo Furuhashi.

What’s the latest?

In recent comments cited by The Scottish Sun, the Bhoys boss revealed that, despite being brought off due to a knock after just 15 minutes of Sunday’s fixture against St. Johnstone, the 26-year-old centre-forward’s injury does not look to be anything serious.

Speaking about the hamstring strain suffered by the Japan international, Postecoglou briefly said: “He will be fine.”

Celtic fans will be buzzing

Considering just how important a part of the Celtic side Kyogo has become since his £4.6m move to Glasgow earlier this year, the news that the centre-forward does not look as if he will be ruled out for any real length of time is sure to have left the Parkhead faithful buzzing.

Indeed, over his 14 Premiership appearances this term, the £1.8m-rated forward has already bagged eight goals, registered two assists and created four big chances for his teammates, as well as making an average of 1.1 key passes and taking 2.1 shots per game.

These returns have seen the £18k-per-week man average a SofaScore match rating of 7.07, ranking him as Postecoglou’s 11th-best player in the top flight of Scottish football – of those who remain in the 56-year-old’s first-team squad.

The 26-year-old hitman has also scored a further eight goals and provided three assists over 12 fixtures in the Europa League, Europa League qualifying and the League Cup, taking his total to 16 goals and five assists in 26 appearances for the club.

As such, it is clear for all to see that it is undoubtedly a case of the sooner Kyogo recovers the better for Celtic, meaning Postecoglou’s latest update regarding the striker’s injury is certainly fantastic news for everyone involved with the Hoops.

Victoria’s lower order staged a powerful recovery to give them a strong chance of an outright victory over Western Australia

Cricinfo staff05-Mar-2010Western Australia 274 and 2 for 57 need 247 runs to beat Victoria 199 and 378 (Wade 91, Wright 80)
ScorecardMatthew Wade guided Victoria’s lower-order charge with 91•Getty ImagesVictoria’s lower order staged a powerful recovery to give them a strong chance of an outright victory over Western Australia that would earn a home final. After giving up a 75-run advantage on first innings, the Bushrangers fought through Matthew Wade and Damien Wright to finish with 378 and set the hosts 304.At stumps Western Australia were 2 for 57 after the captain Marcus North failed in his final chance before the Test squad for New Zealand is named next week. North departed on 3 when he hit John Hastings to point, a dismissal which came an over after Wes Robinson (11) clipped Andrew McDonald to square leg.Wade’s 91 lifted Victoria after they lost four wickets, including David Hussey and Nick Jewell, in the first session to be 6 for 181. However, the lower order kicked in, with Wade and John Hastings (29) putting on 52 before Wade and Wright combined for 91.Wade struck 11 fours and two sixes during his 130-ball stay and Wright took over the aggressive role when the wicketkeeper exited. Wright blasted 80 from 76 deliveries and gained support from Darren Pattinson, who went on to be unbeaten on 25. If the bowlers operate as well with the ball on the final day as they did with the bat, they will ensure their side stays ahead of Queensland and hosts the final from March 17.

لا يزال الدولي الإنجليزي هاري كين مهاجم فريق توتنهام، هو الهدف الأساسي لـ بايرن ميونخ لتدعيم هجومهم في الموسم المقبل.

بايرن ميونخ رحل عنه روبرت ليفاندوفسكي ولم يتمكن من التعاقد مع مهاجم يحل محله، باستثناء ضم ساديو ماني وماتياس تيل الشاب.

صحيفة “ذا صن” البريطانية، أكدت بأن بايرن ميونخ يضع هاري كين ضمن أولوياته، وتواصلت إدارة النادي الألماني مع وكلاء المهاجم الإنجليزي، لإقناعه بعدم تجديد عقده.

هاري كين في صيف 2021 كان يريد الرحيل عن توتنهام وتغيّب عن التدريبات لكن صفقة انتقاله إلى مانشستر سيتي فشلت في الأيام الأخيرة من الميركاتو، بسبب مطالب سبيرز المادية.

هاري كين عقده ينتهي مع توتنهام في يونيو 2024، ويريد بايرن ميونخ ألا يجدد الإعصار البريطاني مع سبيرز، للانقضاض عليه في الصيف المقبل.

مجلة “كيكر” الألمانية، أكدت بأن فريق جوليان ناجيلسمان يخطط لتكرار سيناريو ساديو ماني، وهو التعاقد مع كين قبل عام  من نهاية عقده، مما يجعل توتنهام يتركه بمقابل أقل من قيمته السوقية.

ساديو ماني انضم إلى بايرن ميونخ في الصيف الماضي قبل عام من نهاية عقده، مقابل 40 مليون يورو بعد 6 سنوات مع ليفربول.
