Eoin Morgan hopes the sanctions imposed on Steve Smith and David Warner will have served to restore the reputation of a game he feels has been “battered”
George Dobell05-Apr-2018Eoin Morgan hopes the sanctions imposed on Steven Smith and David Warner will have served to restore the reputation of a game he feels has been “battered” in recent days.Morgan, England’s limited-overs captain, says he was “shocked” by the Australian players’ attempt to alter the behaviour of the ball with sandpaper, insisting he had never experienced such a premediated plan in any team he has represented.But while he accepted such behaviour could damage the reputation of the game, he felt the severity of Cricket Australia’s punishments – on Warner and Smith especially – sent a firm message that such tactics will not be tolerated and could improve the way the game is played around the world.”The sanctions imposed by Cricket Australia have shown how serious the actual mistake was, how seriously they are taking it and how seriously they regard the values, principles, spirit and laws of the game,” Morgan said.”For the last two weeks, the game has been battered. But I’d like to think that the balance [between the damage done to the game and the benefits brought by the suspensions] changed when the sanctions were imposed, because they were serious sanctions.”It’s one thing to say something is wrong. But to back it up with such a sanction says a huge amount. This isn’t two of their worst players, either. It’s two of their best. One is possibly one of their greatest ever.”Naturally this will pull the leash [on the way Australia play].”Morgan accepts there are some “grey areas” around the issue of ball-tampering. The use of sugary saliva, for example, has been prevalent for years (albeit with a distinction around whether mints and sweets are directly transferred to the ball), as has the practice of fielders returning the ball to the keeper on the bounce to scuff up one side. But, the way he sees it, Cricket Australia’s actions have “gone a long way” to “saying none of it is acceptable”.”I was shocked there was a premeditated plan,” he said. “I’ve never heard talk like that in a dressing room.”Throwing the ball in, one bounce, is fine. But if you throw to the keeper from long-on or long-off, the umpires will monitor how often the ball hits the playing surface and tell you they’ll change the ball if you do it again.”Things have changed. The LED lights on the advertising hoardings around the ground have little bulbs that stick out and they can take a huge chunk out of the ball. We have forced our bowlers to chuck it to the umpires [after it hits the board] so they don’t think we have done something to the ball.”So, yes, there are grey areas but I think Cricket Australia have gone a long way to saying none of it is acceptable.”It might have been relevant that Morgan was talking at the 2018 launch of All Stars, the ECB initiative aimed at introducing a new generation to the game. Confronted by dozens of enthusiastic children aged between five and eight, Morgan and his fellow ambassadors (Michael Vaughan, Sarah Taylor and Isa Guha) might naturally have been keen to focus on the more family-friendly aspects of the game.But Morgan, like so many in England cricket, was deeply impressed by the example of Brendon McCullum’s New Zealand side at the 2015 World Cup, in particular. Seeing New Zealand play so effectively – they thrashed England so quickly in Wellington that the game ended before the lights were turned on for the day-night fixture – without resorting to any of the posturing or ‘mental disintegration’ that had started to become a feature of England’s Test cricket in 2013 and 2014, made a big impression.”I massively endorse the way New Zealand play the game,” Morgan said. “Just look at the Test series in New Zealand. You have two fantastic ambassadors for the game – Joe Root and Kane Williamson – playing hard but enjoying the game. Nothing has come close to being controversial. And people have enjoyed watching it.”You can talk about it [playing the right way] all the time, but living it and breathing it is a different thing. You have to recognise when it’s veering too far the wrong way. And it doesn’t stop you winning.”
O São Paulo vive uma má fase dentro de campo. Com o empate contra o Coritiba por 1 a 1, fora de casa, pelo Brasileirão, o clube chegou a sete jogos sem vencer e completará um mês sem triunfos no dia seis de outubro. A última vitória do Tricolor foi sobre o Fluminense, por 3 a 1, no Morumbi, na oitava rodada do Brasileiro.

Desde então, foramsete jogos, com cinco empates e duas derrotas, juntando Libertadores e Campeonato Brasileiro.

Essa é a pior sequência na ‘Era Fernando Diniz’.A pior sequência da equipe havia sido em novembro do ano passado, quando o Tricolor perdeu para o Fluminense e Athletico-PR, em casa, e empatou com Santos e Ceará fora.
Sob pressão da torcida, que protestou no CT da Barra Funda antes do empate deste domingo, Diniz disse que está incomodado com a falta de resultados.
– O protesto da torcida é legítimo, não teve violência. Estão insatisfeitos com os resultados que a equipe vem apresentando e internamente isso vem sendo bem trabalhado. Não tem influência nenhuma no desempenho do time.O que me incomoda é a gente não conseguir vencer os jogos. Treinador de futebol tem que estar preparado para tudo, para todo tipo de pressão. O que me incomoda é a gente não conseguir vencer as partidas e dar alegria para o nosso torcedor- afirmou Diniz.
O Tricolor tentará voltar a vencer na próxima quarta-feira (07), quando enfrenta o Atlético-GO, às 20h30, no Morumbi, pelo Brasileirão.
Manchester City have made a “fresh” approach for Lyon forward Bradley Barcola, and a reliable journalist has shared the club’s stance on a deal taking place.
Who is Bradley Barcola?
Barcola, primarily a right-winger, is an academy graduate at the Groupama Stadium having worked his way up through the various youth ranks to get promoted to Laurent Blanc’s first team back in January 2022, and since that time he’s gone on to make a total of 44 senior appearances to date.
The France youth international still has another three years to run on his contract in his homeland, but having established himself as the Ligue 1 outfit’s third best-performing offensive player last season, he’s grabbed the attention of Pep Guardiola and chiefs at the Etihad.
According to 90min, the Sky Blues regularly scouted the 20-year-old during the previous campaign, and after being hugely impressed by the talent they saw on offer, have reportedly identified him as an ideal replacement for Riyad Mahrez who left last month to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli in a £30m move.
Are Man City signing Bradley Barcola?
Taking to Twitter X, Gianluigi Longari revealed that Man City have taken their initial interest in Barcola one step further by holding preliminary discussions with Lyon to discover what it would take to bring him to the Premier League before the end of the transfer window. He wrote:
“Fresh contact between Manchester City #MCFC and Olympique Lyon #OL for Bradley #Barcola. He’s one of the City’s target.”
Lyon forward Bradley Barcola.
How good is Bradley Barcola?
Man City have reportedly seen an opening £70m offer for West Ham United’s Lucas Paqueta turned down, but with outlets claiming that a second bid is being prepared, Barcola could be following in the formerly mentioned player’s footsteps to put pen to paper with the reigning champions should negotiations continue in a positive manner, and what an exciting double move it would be.
Lyon’s £6k-per-week earner has posted 19 goal contributions (12 assists and seven goals) in 44 senior outings at his club, not to mention that last season he ranked in the 94th percentile for attacking touches in the opposition’s penalty area, highlighting his desire to create chances for himself and his fellow teammates in the final third, and this form saw him receive three man-of-the-match awards from WhoScored.
The Villeurbanne native, who has been dubbed an “elite” player by talent scout Jacek Kulig, also has the versatility to operate everywhere across the frontline and even on the left side of the midfield, so he would give the manager great flexibility when it comes to choosing his formation and team selection should he want to include several different players altogether.
Finally, Barcola shares the same agent, Gestifute, as Ederson, Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva, as per Transfermarkt, so this existing connection that his representative already has to the club could them a potential small advantage should they decide to continue pursuing a deal for the attacker in the closing stages of the summer market.
The opener scored 22 in Wednesday’s first ODI in Whangarei, and did not field during New Zealand’s innings
ESPNcricinfo staff20-Dec-2017Chris Gayle could be a doubtful starter for West Indies’ second ODI against New Zealand in Christchurch on Saturday. The opener scored 22 in Wednesday’s first ODI in Whangarei, and did not field during New Zealand’s innings. New Zealand won the match by five wickets.”He took ill,” West Indies coach Stuart Law said after the match, when asked why Gayle hadn’t taken the field. “He’s going to seek further medical advice once we arrive in Christchurch tomorrow. At this point in time I can’t give you any further details of what’s going on.”Law did not divulge any details of Gayle’s illness. “I’m not a doctor,” he said. “I can’t give you any more, so I apologise. We should get a full appraisal tomorrow.”Sent in to bat, West Indies posted a total of 248 for 9, which New Zealand overhauled with four overs to spare. Law said conditions changed significantly through the course of the match, and that New Zealand had won an important toss.”We would have liked to have bowled first as well,” he said. “Whether or not the wicket got damp through the covers… it was certainly a tackiness to the surface when the game started.”I looked at it half-time and it was bone dry. You would have liked an even contest, not taking anything away from New Zealand at all. We saw our opening batters – they’re pretty good strikers of a cricket ball – they were having trouble locating it, which means the wicket was doing something. We didn’t see that this afternoon.”Gayle and Evin Lewis put on 40 in 10.1 overs for the first wicket. Lewis went on to score 76 off 100 balls. Law felt his dismissal in the 36th over – an lbw that replays suggested was wrongly given, when West Indies had run out of reviews – was a turning point, given his shot-making skills and those of Rovman Powell, with whom he had added 43 in just 31 balls.”He [Lewis] was circumspect with the deliveries he attacked. He’s a wonderful striker of a cricket ball,” Law said. “Today he wasn’t able to be as free as he would’ve liked but he showed some class. He showed the ability to get through some really tough times, to build an innings, and then unfortunately given out lbw when he was set, ready to continue that partnership with Rovman Powell.”Those two can score very quickly once they get going and 15-20 an over is not out of the question with those two.”
Newcastle United are believed to be looking to hijack Tottenham's move for a centre-back this summer, according to a fresh transfer claim.
Who is Edmond Tapsoba?
Edmond Tapsoba is an impressive central defender currently plying his trade at Bayer Leverkusen, maturing into a key figure since arriving from Vitoria de Guimaraes back in 2020. He has made 137 appearances for the Bundesliga side to date, including 32 starts in the league last season, highlighting his importance and consistency.
The 24-year-old has also won 36 caps for Burkina Faso, showing that he is already a very established player at international level, too, despite still being relatively young.

It could be that Tapsoba looks for a fresh challenge before the 2023/24 season properly gets into full swing, though, despite the fact that his current Leverkusen deal doesn't expire until the summer of 2026.
Newcastle are continuing to look at potential centre-back options before the transfer cutoff at the end of the month, with a younger upgrade on Fabian Schar arguably needed. It looks as though Tapsoba could be an option, following a new update.
Edmond Tapsoba
Could Newcastle sign Edmond Tapsoba?
According to Football Insider, Newcastle are keen on making a move for the Leverkusen defender in the current transfer window, pipping Spurs to his signature in the process:
"Newcastle United are ready to launch a move for Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba, sources have told Football Insider. The 24-year-old, who is also wanted by Tottenham, has been made a top target by the Magpies as they line up their latest summer arrival.
"Football Insider revealed last week (4 August) that Spurs planned to accelerate their push to sign Tapsoba after completing the capture of Micky van de Ven from Wolfsburg. Leverkusen are demanding around £50million for the defender and that price could rise if multiple other European clubs formalise their interest in the coming weeks."
Tapsoba could be a fantastic option for Newcastle this summer – football talent scout Jacek Kulig has described him as "solid as a rock" – ticking so many when it comes to the type of player Eddie Howe is looking to bring in.
At 24, he is at that sweet spot where he is experienced at both club and international level, but also still has plenty of time to improve further, as is the case with Sven Botman, who is still only 23 years of age. They could be a long-term pairing at St James' Park for many years, proving to be the bedrock for the team in the process.
Tapsoba, who currently earns £52,000 per week at Leverkusen, averaged an impressive 3.6 clearances per game in the Champions League last season, not to mention three per match in the Bundesliga, and he also enjoyed a 91.3% pass completion rate in the former, showing how competent he is with the ball at his feet on the big stage.
This would feel like another big signing if Newcastle could get a deal over the line, particularly if it comes at the expense of a fellow top-four challenger in Spurs, showing that the Magpies are now a more appealing club to join than the north Londoners, which arguably hasn't been the case for a long time.
It has been a frustrating summer transfer window so far for West Ham United as they are yet to make their first senior addition to David Moyes' squad.
Who have West Ham sold this summer?
The Hammers lost captain Declan Rice to Premier League rivals Arsenal for a staggering £105m fee and have sold left-back Arthur Masuaku to Besiktas.
Argentine attacking midfielder Manuel Lanzini was also released upon the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2022/23 campaign, after 226 appearances for the club over an eight-year spell in London.
Read the latest West Ham transfer news HERE…
They have not replaced any of the outgoing so far but Moyes still has over a month to go until the end of the window and one player who has been linked with a move to the club is Inter playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu.
How good is Hakan Calhanoglu?
The Turkey international has proven himself to be an outstanding performer in the Serie A over the years and he could arrive as Dimitri Payet 2.0 for West Ham if his form translates over to English football.
Calhanoglu is a set-piece master who has the ability to score stunning goals whilst also being able to split open the opposition to create chances for his teammates on a regular basis.
The 29-year-old has found the back of the net 25 times from direct free-kicks throughout his career, which includes one he scored from almost the halfway line for Hamburg against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga nine years ago.
Payet was renowned for his exceptional dead-ball ability during his time in England. His phenomenal free-kick goals against Crystal Palace and top-six side Manchester United stand out as two of his most memorable strikes.
Former West Ham star Dimitri Payet.
The France international offered more than just set-piece goals, though, as he racked up an impressive nine goals and 12 assists across 30 Premier League games during the 2015/16 campaign.
Payet offered a huge threat in the final third with his ability to score and create goals on a regular basis. He produced a whopping 16 'big chances' for his teammates that season, which shows that the mercurial dynamo consistently opened up the opposition with his passing ability.
Calhanoglu, who was hailed as "exceptional" by ex-boss Stefano Pioli, played the majority of his matches in a defensive midfield role last season but his form as a central midfielder during the 2021/22 campaign suggests that he has the potential to be a Payet-esque figure for Moyes.
The £184k-per-week magician scored seven goals and provided 12 assists across 33 Serie A starts, whilst he also created 13 'big chances' for his fellow attackers. Whereas, no Hammers ace was able to assist more than five Premier League goals last term.
He is capable of being a consistently brilliant performer as the talented maestro averaged a sublime Sofascore rating of 7.53 that season. Meanwhile, no West Ham player managed a score higher than 7.19 during the 2022/23 campaign.
Therefore, Calhanoglu could be an outstanding signing for Moyes in midfield and has the potential to be a Payet 2.0 with his phenomenal set-piece quality and ability to make a significant impact at the top end of the pitch week-in-week-out.
Liverpool could be set for a busy few weeks in the summer transfer window as they shape their squad ahead of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign.
The club are reportedly in talks with Al Ettifaq over a deal for captain Jordan Henderson, who has already agreed personal terms with Steven Gerrard's side.
Meanwhile, Al Ittihad are said to be pursuing defensive midfielder Fabinho. They have approached the Brazil international to discuss terms but are yet to make an official offer to Jurgen Klopp's team as it stands.
Their exits would leave two significant holes within the roster and that could force the Merseyside giants back into the market to make further additions in that area of the pitch.
This comes after Liverpool secured the signings of Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister from RB Leipzig and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively, earlier this summer to bolster their options in midfield.
However, changes may occur elsewhere in the squad as the Reds were recently linked with a swoop to sign Zenit winger Malcom, which could mean that Klopp has attacking reinforcements on his agenda.
How good is Malcom?
It is hard to say exactly how good the Brazilian forward is as he is yet to experience Premier League football in his career to date. However, his form in Russia last season suggests that the potential is there for him to be a big upgrade on Diogo Jota for Liverpool.
The 26-year-old hotshot is a versatile player who is capable of being deployed across the frontline, which is also the case for the Portugal international. This means that Malcom could replace the ex-Wolves man's impact as a rotation option out wide or through the middle.
Last term, Jota scored seven goals in 22 Premier League appearances – the joint-fourth most in the team, only behind Darwin Nunez (nine), Roberto Firmino (11), and Mohamed Salah (19).
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota.
The right-footed ace struggled to offer much outside of goalscoring as he created 0.8 chances per match for his teammates. 12 other players within the squad produced more creativity, which suggests that the Portuguese forward was not one of the club's standout playmakers.
Malcom, on the other hand, plundered 23 goals in 27 Premier Liga clashes – four more than any of the aforementioned Liverpool attackers managed. Whilst there is no guarantee that it would directly translate to the English top-flight, his record in front of goal indicates that the potential is there for him to be a prolific scorer for Klopp.
The former Barcelona wizard showcased his creativity with 2.3 key passes per outing. Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold led the way for the Reds with 1.9 per match, which means that the Brazilian talent could come in to split open opposition defences more frequently than the manager's current options.
Malcom, who was once described as "hugely talented" by journalist Ryan Baldi, also averaged a phenomenal Sofascore rating of 7.95 – 0.63 higher than Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool-leading score of 7.32.
Therefore, the £108k-per-week sensation could be a superb signing for Liverpool and a big upgrade on Jota, both in terms of scoring and creating goals, if he can reproduce his form in Russia in the Premier League next term.
Newcastle United will host Liverpool and Mohamed Salah on 27th August in the third week of the Premier League season. It's a massive game for both sides.
The Magpies will hope to build on their fourth-placed finish last season, while Liverpool will hope to push them out of the Champions League spots and rebound after a terrible campaign last time out. Of course, the Reds will turn to Salah to lead them.
But how likely is it that he gets one over on Newcastle United? Football FanCast delves into the stats to see just how well Salah plays against Newcastle.
What is Mohamed Salah's goal record against Newcastle?
Salah has played 13 times against Newcastle, with all fixtures coming in the Premier League, though not all of them were for Liverpool.
He actually played once for Chelsea – the Egyptian played 12 minutes in 2014 at Stamford Bridge. That, of course, was a very different Salah as the forward was transformed into a goalscoring machine on his move to Anfield.
And that shows in his record. Salah has six goals in 12 games against Newcastle for Liverpool. It's a great haul, but far from his most dominant – that's actually quite middle of the road in the Premier League for the Reds' star man.
What is Mohamed Salah's assist record against Newcastle?
Of course, Salah isn't just a goalscorer, but a creator too. And he has a fair few assists against Newcastle, with three in his last two games against the club.
In total, he boasts four across his 13 games to go along with his six goals, having been credited with a hand in three of the four scored by Liverpool against the Magpies last term.
What is Mohamed Salah's head-to-head record against Newcastle?
Newcastle have never actually beaten Salah's sides, whether he was on the pitch for Chelsea or Liverpool. His record stands at 13 played, 10 won, 3 drawn and zero defeats.
That record is actually Salah's best against any opponent across all competitions. He's never won more against a team without losing once – in fact, the only team he's ever defeated more than 10 times is Tottenham Hotspur (11).
And given all of his games came in the Premier League, there's a points tally. Salah has picked up 33 points in total against the Mapgies – just six shy of perfection.
What is Mohamed Salah's record at St James's Park?
It won't be a shock to learn that it's very good. Salah has played a total of six games at Newcastle, all coming for Liverpool.
He hasn't lost any of those meetings, of course, and has won four of them, drawing the other two. Though, it is notable that Salah has only ever scored once at St James' – that came back in 2019 and was a game where he also picked up an injury.
His team might do well there, but on an individual level, Newcastle isn't a particularly happy hunting ground for Salah:
Games – 6 Wins – 4 Draws – 2 Losses – 0 Goals – 1 Assists – 1 Who has Mohamed Salah scored against the most?
Mo Salah
In total, Salah has scored against 11 teams more than he has against Newcastle. As previously mentioned, that figure of six isn't necessarily a standout for the Egyptian.
Sitting right at the top of that pile is Manchester United. Salah's record against them is incredible, scoring 12 times in 12 games and managing another four assists. Manchester City come next – 11 goals and five assists in 19 meetings.
Tottenham's 18 meetings with Salah have seen them ship 11 goals, too, along with a single assist. Meanwhile, Arsenal, West Ham United, Watford and Leeds United have all conceded nine times to the Liverpool star.
Bournemouth have been the unlucky opponent on eight occasions, while Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Southampton have all shipped seven.
How many goals does Mohamed Salah have in August?
Sticking to the Premier League, Salah has scored 12 goals in the month of August. It's a fantastic haul that, on the face of it, averages out to two August goals each season for the Egyptian.
It's actually slightly better than that, however. There were no August games in the 2020/21 Premier League season, which kicked off in September. If you count that as the equivalent of August in a regular season, you can add three more to Salah's total, with the winger bagging a hat-trick on the opening day against Leeds United).
What is Mohamed Salah's overall Liverpool goal record?
Salah was never really known as a goalscorer in his younger professional days – even his record with Basel was so-so. But once he left Chelsea for AS Roma, the Egyptian started to find his feet as a true goal threat.
29 goals in two Serie A seasons suggested something was there, but no one could have foreseen his explosion at Liverpool. Salah immediately broke the Premier League's goalscoring record for a 38-game season, scoring 32 times in his debut campaign.
Overall, the forward heads into the upcoming campaign with 137 Premier League goals for Liverpool, all coming in 218 games. That stretches to 186 in 305 across all competitions.
In all, he's one of the most dangerous forward players on the planet and has been for some time. Even if, for whatever reason, Newcastle usually find a way to handle him at home.
What is Mohamed Salah's Premier League record?
Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah.
Salah's 137 Premier League goals for Liverpool, combined with the two he got for Chelsea in his brief spell there lead to a grand total of 139. It's an incredible haul – only 13 players have managed more since the start of the league in 1992.
And so, even if Salah matched his lowest goals total for Liverpool in a single year (19) this coming term, he'd move onto 158 goals. That would be enough to leapfrog Michael Owen in 10th on the all-time list. He likely won't have reached this point by the time he faces Newcastle – but he'll hope to draw closer against the Magpies.
What is Mohamed Salah's assist record?
Mohamed Salah has cemented his place as a Liverpool great
Salah's 139 Premier League goals are a fantastic amount – but they're not all he can boast about. He's also claimed 59 assists in England's top flight, with two of those coming in Chelsea blue.
That has him sitting in 22nd place all-time and Salah will almost certainly enter the top 20 in the coming season. As Newcastle know very well, he doesn't just hurt you by scoring goals.
What is Liverpool's record against Newcastle?
Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson.
Liverpool and Newcastle have met a lot over the decades – their history as opponents dates all the way back to 1893. And as with just about everyone else in English football, the Reds boast a good record.
They've competed 185 times in their history, with Liverpool winning 91 of those. Newcastle have then won 50 themselves, leaving 44 games without a winner.
But what about in the Premier League? There have unsurprisingly been a fair few meetings since England's top flight rebranded – 56 in total – with Liverpool taking the vast majority of those points.
The Reds have won 33 of the 56, with Newcastle settling for a mere 11. In fact, the Toon have drawn more than they've won, with the points splitting 12 times.
What are Liverpool's recent results against Newcastle?
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Liverpool have been dominant in recent times against Newcastle. Even last season – a campaign where the Reds struggled and the Magpies shone – Jurgen Klopp's side won both games.
The most recent was a 2-0 win at St James' Park that followed a dramatic 2-1 win at Anfield – Fabio Carvalho squeezed in a winner with seconds to play. In fact, Liverpool have won the last four clashes, having taken the points on both occasions in the previous season, too.
There were a couple of draws before that – 0-0 in Newcastle in 2020 and 1-1 in Liverpool in 2021. But you're probably noticing that there isn't a single win for the Magpies to mention here.
That's because you need to head all the way back to 2015 for the last time Newcastle beat Liverpool. That game finished 2-0 at St James' and was the second consecutive year that the victors wore black and white.
When is Newcastle vs Liverpool?
Eddie Howe
Newcastle will host Liverpool on Sunday, 27th August at 4.30pm UK time. It promises to be one of the biggest games of the season's early stages, with both sides looking to make a big statement.
Newcastle need early momentum if they're to prove that last season wasn't a fluke. It won't be easy, however – this isn't even their first big test. It comes one week after a trip to Manchester City as the Magpies face as tough an early test as you can get.
Liverpool, of course, need to make a statement of their own. They were truly awful at times last season, falling out of the title race almost immediately and then struggling to even compete for European spots. A late charge saw them briefly battle for fourth, but they'll be a Europa League side this season.
The winner will take a huge confidence boost from this one, then, and the Reds will turn to Mohamed Salah as their leader up top. His record in Newcastle isn't exactly sparkling, but he almost always returns home a winner.
Ten days after announcing that it was his decision to drop Mahmudullah for the Colombo Test, BCB president Nazmul Hassan has said he was behind the decision to pick Mehedi Hasan for the ODIs against Sri Lanka

Nazmul Hassan: ‘Miraz had been bowling well in the Tests and this is a very important series for us’•AFP
Ten days after announcing that it was his decision to drop Mahmudullah for the Colombo Test, BCB president Nazmul Hassan has said he was behind the decision to pick Mehedi Hasan for the ODIs against Sri Lanka.Mehedi had returned to Dhaka from Colombo on March 20 with the other Test players who were not part of the ODI squad that was announced the previous week. But three days later he was added to the ODI side, for the first time in his career.Hassan said that he first called chief selector Minhajul Abedin, telling him to include Mehedi in the ODI squad, before calling the player himself to ask him to make plans to return to Sri Lanka. He said Mehedi’s inclusion in the playing XI for the first ODI was only decided on only after the team arrived at the Dambulla ground; there was discussion around whether left-arm spinner Sunzamul Islam could be added to the XI instead.”I called up [Minhajul Abedin] Nannu to send over [Mehedi Hasan] Miraz,” Hassan said. “I found out he is in Khulna, and told him that he must get back to Sri Lanka. Basically we wanted to keep him as an option because they have a number of quality left-hand batsmen. Miraz had been bowling well in the Tests and this is a very important series for us. But when I sat with the team that morning [of the ODI], it still wasn’t decided if Miraz or Sunzamul [Islam] would be playing. It was finalised after coming to the ground.”Mehedi opened the bowling in the chase of 325 in Dambulla, sending down all ten over for figures of 2 for 43.Last week when Hassan had spoken about his role in the Mahmudullah exclusion, he said that he takes “all the decisions”. He has been vocal about selection decisions since the Afghanistan ODI series last September, and during the Bangladesh Premier League too. Incidentally, in June 2016 Hassan had said that the revamped selection committee would cut down his role in selection decisions.
