West Indies batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan has resigned from the board of the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA). Dave Kissoon, the attorney who had presided over the recent court cases concerning player contracts and a disputed memorandum of understanding involving WIPA and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), also resigned as director.The reported, quoting sources, that Sarwan may have resigned as WIPA executive to patch up with the WICB and ultimately make his way back into the national team.”Both Ramnaresh and Dave have in their own ways contributed to WIPA’s progress. We certainly wish Ramnaresh all the very best in his future cricket career as we are certain that he still has a great deal to contribute to West Indies cricket,” WIPA stated in a release.Sarwan, who last played for West Indies in June 2011, had last month won his case against the WICB over comments made about his fitness and was awarded $161,000 in damages. Sarwan had lodged the appeal, in conjunction with WIPA, in March 2011 for unfairly questioning in public his fitness and attitude. This, he said, effectively cost him not only a central contract for the 2010-11 season but also damaged his “reputation as a professional cricketer” and “sullied his career as an international cricketer.”Earlier this summer Sarwan, who had a successful county season with Leicestershire even as West Indies were being beaten on their England tour, had said how he had been “mentally broken down by certain individuals”, while blaming the coaching set-up for his non-selection.

Bangladesh lay down challenge for West Indies

Bangladesh are going into the ODI series against West Indies without Shakib Al Hasan for the first two games

Big PictureIt was up to Bangladesh to inject life into the five-match ODI series by challenging West Indies, and with their win in the first game, they have done exactly that. The 1-0 lead has already ensured a rise in the ODI rankings and there will be motivation for more.The hosts’ gamble with four debutants clicked for the selectors and the team management. Sohag Gazi became the first Bangladesh player to take the man-of-the-match award on debut, while Anamul Haque first scratched around and then batted more confidently for his 41. They will also be heartened by putting in a positive showing though they were minus Shakib Al Hasan. Tamim Iqbal was brilliant with the bat while Abdur Razzak took three wickets.West Indies have a lot to play for – and correct – in the second ODI. The visitors gave Bangladesh a fine start with the ball, committing to some reckless shots that had them caught on the boundary or on the 30-yard circle. Some tried cutting at deliveries on middle-stump and there was also the odd run-out. The fielding too disintegrated as soon as the likes of Kemar Roach, Ravi Rampaul and Sunil Narine failed to dominate Bangladesh.Form guideBangladesh WLWWL (Most recent first)
West Indies LWWLWIn the spotlightThere was only one wicket for Mashrafe Mortaza in the first game but he used all his experience to counter the swishes of Lendl Simmons and the advances of Chris Gayle. He withstood the early pressure and though there were boundaries, ultimately he was rewarded with the wicket of Simmons, a wicket that was more important than it appears given the mayhem the openers could have created. Bangladesh would be needing exactly the same performance, if not better, on Sunday, from the man who grew up a hundred or so kilometers from the stadium.It would be interesting to see how Darren Sammy reacts after an ordinary performance in the first game. After holing out on the long-on boundary, the West Indies captain bowled an insipid spell. His position in the team could again be called into question if there is another poor performance.Team newsIt is unlikely that Bangladesh will change a winning combination, especially after three of the four debutants were heavily involved in the contest. Mominul Haque will bat in the middle-order and it is likely that he will bat without much pressure of expectations. He would have to deliver immediately though, especially after the way Anamul Haque fought a lot of mental barriers during his short innings in the first ODI.Bangladesh (possible): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Anamul Haque, 3 Naeem Islam, 4 Nasir Hossain, 5 Mahmudullah, 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 7 Mominul Haque, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza, 9 Sohag Gazi, 10 Abdur Razzak, 11 Rubel HossainWest Indies are also likely to go with the same team but slotting in Dwayne Smith might be an option. Kieran Powell could also be included, more due to the form he has shown during the Test series against Bangladesh.West Indies (possible): 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Lendl Simmons, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Darren Sammy, 7 Devon Thomas, 8 Andre Russell, 9 Ravi Rampaul, 10 Sunil Narine, 11 Kemar RoachPitch and conditionsMushfiqur Rahim would want more of the same from curator Zahid Reza after the Bangladesh seamers held the West Indies openers with some early movement in the first game, before the spinners held sway on the slow turner. The batsmen too thrived later on, but patience will be the key.Stats and trivia Bangladesh have won the first match of a bilateral series 11 times, two times of which have been against West Indies including in this series Chris Gayle hasn’t scored a half-century against Bangladesh since October 2006Quotes”We have to take the field for the second game with the same mentality [as in the first] and try our best to play as well as possible.”

“There’s no panic. We admitted that probably we got a little complacent and Bangladesh seized on the opportunity. It was one day in a five-match series. Tomorrow we have to make things right.”

Rodrigo Caio, Cavalieri, Matías Vargas, Bruno Henrique… O resumo do vaivém desta quinta-feira

MatériaMais Notícias

A quinta-feira no mundo da bola foi agitada. Com clubes do Brasil e do mundo afora buscando reforços para melhorarem suas respectivas equipes para o ano que vem. O LANCE! separou um resumo sobre todos os rumores, negócios encaminhados e transferências confirmadas que ocorreram no dia de hoje.

O destaque fica para o Botafogo, que anunciou seus dois primeiros reforços: o goleiro Diego Cavalieri e o meia Gustavo Ferrareis. Por outro lado, o Flamengo deve conviver com dificuldades para contratar Matías Vargas, do Vélez, já que o presidente do clube recusou a primeira proposta do rubro-negro. Por fim, o Barcelona está próximo de contratar Rodrigo Caio, do São Paulo. Confira o resumo desta quinta-feira:

RODRIGO CAIO FAZ EXAMES, MAS NEGÓCIO COM BARCELONA ESFRIA

O zagueiro Rodrigo Caio esteve perto de trocar o São Paulo pelo Barcelona. Na manhã desta quinta-feira, o jogador fez exames médicos numa clínica particular da capital paulista a pedido do clube catão, que enviou um médico especialmente para acompanhar a sessão. As bases de um contrato foram acertadas e só faltava a assinatura, conforme o LANCE! noticiou.

Porém, no último momento, o Barcelona acabou optando por fechar com Jeison Murillo, do Valencia, com quem negociava simultaneamente. Segundo fonte ouvida pelo LANCE!, o negócio, que estava encaminhado, esfriou após o acerto do zagueiro colombiano, anunciado oficialmente pelo clube catalão.

SÃO PAULO DE OLHO EM MAIS REFORÇOS

O São Paulo concretizou nesta quarta-feira uma das transferências de maior impacto na janela de fim de ano – contratou o atacante Pablo, do Athletico-PR -, mas promete não parar por aí. O meio de campo passa a ser o foco principal da diretoria, que está à procura de pelo menos mais duas peças: um volante e um meia.

O preferido para a posição de volante é Willian Arão, do Flamengo, nome que está na pauta do São Paulo desde o meio de 2018. Na ocasião, o jogador deu preferência a uma oferta de um clube da Grécia, mas o acordo acabou não se concretizando.

PALMEIRAS PERTO DE MAIS UM REFORÇO

O Palmeiras deve anunciar em breve a contratação do atacante Felipe Pires, do Hoffenheim (ALE). O jogador de 23 anos de idade é mais um ponta, assim como Carlos Eduardo, já oficializado na quarta. Felipe deve ser emprestado por um ano, como publicou o UOL.

O nome do atacante já esteve em pauta no Verdão após a saída de Keno, e já na época contava com o aval de Luiz Felipe Scolari. O problema é que o clube alemão só topava vendê-lo no meio do ano, o que inviabilizou o negócio. A partir do momento que abriu-se a possibilidade de um empréstimo, as partes voltaram a conversar e estão perto de um desfecho.

VÉLEZ RECUSA PROPOSTA DO FLAMENGO POR VARGAS

Buscando reforçar o elenco para 2019, a diretoria do Flamengo fez uma oferta ao Vélez Sarsfield pelo meia-atacante Matías Vargas, de 21 anos, recusada pelo clube argentino neste primeiro momento. Quem confirmou a consulta do Fla foi o presidente do Vélez, Sergio Rapisarda, a rádio Rivadavia, de Buenos Aires.

– O Flamengo se interessou por Matías Vargas. Me enviaram um e-mail, mas a proposta não nos interessa. Tanto no valor final, quanto na oferta pela porcentagem. De todo modo, agradecemos ao interesse – disse o mandatário.

BOTAFOGO ANUNCIA CONTRATAÇÕES

Negócios fechados. Nesta quinta-feira, o Botafogo anunciou as já aguardadas contratações de Diego Cavalieri e Gustavo Ferrareis para a temporada 2019. Ambos assinaram vínculo de um ano com o clube carioca, sendo que o volante chega por empréstimo junto ao Internacional.

Diego Cavalieri está com 36 anose acumula passagens por Fluminense, Palmeiras e Seleção Brasileira. Por conta de sua vasta experiência, o goleiro é tido como um substituto à altura de Gatito Fernández.Já Gustavo Ferrareis é meia, tem 22 anos e estava no Figueirense na temporada recém-encerrada. Por lá, na Série B do Brasileiro, marcou oito gols em 53 partidas.

DIRIGENTE DO FLUMINENSE REVELA INTERESSE EM BRUNO SILVA

O Diretor de Futebol do Fluminense, Paulo Angioni, afirmou durante entrevista coletiva de apresentação do técnico Fernando Diniz, realizada no CT do Tricolor, que o clube tem interesse em contratar o volante Bruno Silva, do Cruzeiro, e que o jogador também deseja integrar o elenco do Fluminense na próxima temporada. Segundo ele, o acerto depende apenas de detalhes.

– A notícia circula mais rápida do que a concretização. O futebol periférico tem interesse absurdo. Bruno Silva é muito bem monitorado pelo nosso scout. Realmente interessa, mas é uma possibilidade. Temos dele a certeza de que vê o Fluminense muito bem. Agora são questões de ajustes.

FLAMENGO FAZ PROPOSTA POR BRUNO HENRIQUE

O Santos recebeu uma oferta do Flamengo pelo atacante Bruno Henrique superior aos R$ 20 milhões. A negociação envolve também mais dois atletas do plantel, ambos seriam cedidos por empréstimo. O valor exato não foi confirmado pelo Peixe, mas a tendência é de que a proposta seja recusada. Bruno Henrique é um dos atletas preferidos do novo técnico Jorge Sampaoli e, por isso, dificilmente será negociado antes da pré-temporada.

A informação foi inicialmente publicada pelo jornalista Jorge Nicola, do Yahoo. Em sua chegada ao Santos, Sampaoli deixou clara o desejo de contar não só com Bruno Henrique, mas também com os laterais Victor Ferraz e Dodô, todos envolvidos em especulações do mercado. Ferraz, inclusive, chegou a se acertar com o São Paulo, mas viu o negócio melar com a vinda do argentino.

DIRIGENTE DO PSG ATACA BARCELONA

O afastamento de Rabiot do PSG segue dando repercussão. Insatisfeito com o rumo que o volante pode tomar, o diretor esportivo do clube parisiense, Antero Henrique, em entrevista a ‘Radio Montecarlo’, fez duras críticas ao Barcelona, possível destino do jogador.

– Sempre nos surpreende os clubes que não respeitam as normas. Estou muito surpreso. Disse que recebemos uma proposta, no dia 29 de agosto, as oito da manhã, antes do mercado fechar. É simples, significa que o Barcelona chegou a um acordo com o Rabiot antes de vir falar com nós. A proposta do Barcelona foi ridícula e o ficamos surpreso com uma oferta tão baixa – disse o dirigente

VASCO ENCAMINHA REFORÇOS PARA VÁRIAS POSIÇÕES

Ao longo de 2018, o Vasco sofreu com problemas de diversas ordens em determinadas posições. Suspensões, lesões graves e, em parte por um planejamento conturbado, resultaram em improvisações acima do esperado ao longo da temporada. Mas parecem ser as primeiras soluções buscadas para a próxima temporada.

As lacunas já começam a ser preenchidas com jogadores experientes. Para a lateral direita, o paraguaio Cáceres tem negociações avançadas para ocupar posto.Do lado esquerdo, Danilo Barcelos chegará a São Januário por empréstimo junto ao Atlético-MG.Bruno César chega, junto ao Sporting, como o grande reforço para 2019 e, no ataque, Ribamar pode chegar.

BARCELONA CONTRATA ZAGUEIRO

Como já era esperado, o Barcelona oficializou a contratação do zagueiro Jeison Murillo. O defensor de 26 anos chega ao clube catalão cedido por empréstimo do Valencia até o final da temporada. Ao final do vínculo, há a possibilidade de compra, desde que os culés paguem 25 milhões de euros.

Esta é a primeira contratação do time blaugrana nesta janela de transferências, que, na verdade abre em janeiro. Na Espanha, ele concorrerá com Lenglet, Umtiti, Vermaelen e Piqué. Vale salientar que os dois últimos já têm mais de 30 anos, enquanto Umtiti sofre com lesões e recupera-se de uma cirurgia.

Jonny Bairstow has had to leave the tour for family reasons, which ends a disappointing tour him•AFP

Jonny Bairstow has returned home early from England’s tour of India for family reasons, joining a growing exodus of England players who have departed early.Bairstow was left out England’s first Twenty20 International in Pune, where Jos Buttler was preferred as wicket-keeper. He discovered during the match that he was needed at home and left immediately. He was due to arrive in the UK on Friday morning.England will need to recover from their five wicket defeat in Pune, where they failed to build on Alex Hales’s impressive 26-ball 50.It completed an unrewarding pre-Christmas spell in India for Bairstow, who batted only once in the Test series, making 9 in the second Test in Mumbai before losing his place because of perceived limitations on turning pitches.Buttler’s inclusion was one of England’s few bright spots as he made an international-best 33 in England’s five-wicket defeat.A brief statement from the ECB read: “Jonny Bairstow has gone home today from India tour for family reasons.”

Pitch makes life hard for Saurashtra, MP

Slow and mostly low conditions in Rajkot made batting difficult for Saurashtra, who conceded whatever advantage winning the toss had given them by losing nine wickets against Madhya Pradesh on day one

ScorecardFile photo: Cheteshwar Pujara batted with the confidence of an in-form Test batsman, but he was a bit too positive•Getty Images

Going by day one, the Rajkot pitch confounded both sides, who were expecting it to turn early, and turn big. In the end, the innate slow nature of the pitch didn’t allow that. The lack of watering and rolling of the pitch over the last two days, in the presence of a BCCI curator, somehow added variable, largely low, bounce to the mix. Slow and mostly low made batting difficult for Saurashtra, who conceded whatever advantage winning the toss had given them by losing nine wickets.Devendra Bundela, the MP captain, had walked back after the toss with a wry smile on, fearing the worst, especially given the presence of Cheteshwar Pujara in the Saurashtra line-up. At that time, MP would have grabbed an opposition scoreline of 212 for 9 with both hands. Ultimately, despite abandoning their favoured three-quicks policy for another specialist spinner – a debutant who was to be called twice for a suspect action – it was the crack fast-bowling pair of Ishwar Pandey and Anand Rajan who delivered the early blows for MP. Saurashtra never quite made up for that initial damage of 37 for 3, and despite fifties from Sheldon Jackson and Aarpit Vasavada, the day easily belonged to the visitors.Rajan struck as early as the last ball of his first over, the day’s second, when he had the veteran Shitanshu Kotak lbw on the forward defensive. Kotak had already been put down by the wicketkeeper Naman Ojha, diving in front of first slip, in Pandey’s opening over.Pujara batted with the supreme confidence an in-form Test batsman takes into first-class cricket, but he was a bit too positive, and in trying to on-drive Pandey, he gave a tame catch to midwicket when on 10. The ball had stopped on Pujara; the stroke was not on given the nature of the pitch. Pandey earned the next wicket through sheer pace, zipping a good length delivery through the captain Jaydev Shah’s defences. Both Pujara and Jaydev departed with quizzical glances at the pitch.Spin had already been introduced in the seventh over, and was to account for 65 of the day’s 90 overs. However, it was to play largely a holding role, though the spinners did take five wickets. The turn was slow, and even if batsmen were beaten in the flight, they could play off the back foot. Pitched-up deliveries were patted away from the crease. Bundela attacked throughout with two to three close-in fielders, but the one takeable chance that came their way was put down at short leg off Jackson, Jalaj Saxena the bowler to suffer.Jackson went for his shots, and rode his luck to make 53. Consecutive thick edges flew to gully off Ankit Sharma, but could not be held on. He steered Rajan dangerously through the slip cordon. But he probably also showed the way to score on this pitch, hitting several boundaries behind point. He chose to cut the part-time left-arm spinner Rameez Khan’s second delivery in the last over before lunch, and was bowled. Saurashtra ended the first session on 94 for 5, and from that position to go past 200 was in itself an achievement.Vasavada, and later Kamlesh Makvana, were responsible for that, with sensible, defensive knocks that were in stark contrast to the way Chirag Jani lost his head, charging out to Ankit, and getting stumped. Despite Saurashtra’s resistance, MP were never far away from striking, as seven partnerships worth between 22 and 38 showed. Vasavada eventually went on his 181st ball, bowled by an Ankit delivery that spun in sharply from outside off, one of the very few that did.The second new ball did nothing for MP, but before that Pandey displayed his versatility by trapping Vishal Joshi in front with a full delivery. Saurashtra ended a disappointing day on a disappointing note as No. 10 and debutant Dharmendra Jadeja stepped out and holed out to mid-off, the second time in the day Saurashra had given a wicket to the part-timer Rameez, off what turned out to be the last deliveries of the respective sessions.
