Mushfiqur Rahim will miss the remainder of the ODI series against Afghanistan in the UAE after picking up a finger injury in the series opener that Bangladesh lost by 92 runs.”Towards the end of Afghanistan’s batting innings, Mushfiqur injured the tip of his left Index finger while keeping wickets,” team physio Delowar Hossain said in a BCB statement. “An X-ray after the match has confirmed a fracture on his left Index near the DIP joint. He is under conservative management and is not available for the second and third ODIs. Further updates on his condition and expected recovery period will be provided in due course.”Related

After picking up the injury, Mushfiqur batted as low as No. 7 as Bangladesh lost their last eight wickets for only 23 runs. He was stumped for 1 off three balls.Bangladesh, trailing 0-1 in the three-match series, have not named a replacement. With no Litton Das (recovering from fever) in the squad either, Jaker Ali is expected to take over wicketkeeping duties.With Bangladesh set to tour the West Indies for a mult-format tour of two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is later this month, Mushfiqur’s finger injury also leaves question marks over his availability for the Tests and ODIs. He retired from T20Is in 2022.After the Afghanistan ODIs end on November 11, Bangladesh are set to fly to the Caribbean for a tour game in Coolidge starting November 15 before the first Test begins in North Sound on November 22. They have not yet named a squad for the West Indies tour.

It might be a tired cliché, but this summer looks set to be Arsenal’s most important in years.
After failing to win the Premier League at the third time of asking and coming painfully close to the final of the Champions League this season, Mikel Arteta’s side have to deliver one or the other next year.
To help them do that, new Sporting Director Andrea Berta and Co have to deliver the goods in this summer’s transfer window by signing ready-made stars to help them win now.
However, while the focus has to be on those who can make an immediate impact, there is always room to pick up a few future stars, and based on recent reports, Arsenal may be about to sign someone who could be their own Rayan Cherki a few years down the line.
Arsenal transfer news
It was just over a month ago that Arsenal were linked with a £30m move for Cherki, and it’s not hard to see why some fans would love him to make his way to the Emirates.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
For example, in 44 appearances for Lyon this season, totalling 3097 minutes, the young Frenchman scored 12 goals and provided 20 assists, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.37 games, or every 96.78 minutes.
However, the stories touting him for a move to N5 soon dried up, and now it looks like Manchester City are going to be the ones who sign the 21-year-old, with transfers expert Fabrizio Romano confirming yesterday morning that the club had agreed personal terms with the player.
Rayan Cherki
While missing out on the Lyon star isn’t ideal, the good news is that Arteta and Co might soon have their own incredibly exciting youngster on the books in Konstantinos Karetsas.
Yes, according to a recent report from Greece, Arsenal are incredibly interested in signing the Genk gem.
In fact, in something of a surprise, the report has revealed that the North Londoners are ‘very close to an agreement’ for the player, which will see them pay the Belgian outfit around €45m, which is about £38m, and leave him on loan with the team for next season.
It’s undoubtedly a lot of money to pay for someone so young, but based on his ability and potential, it may well be worth it, especially as he could be the club’s own version of Cherki a few years from now.
Why Karetsas could be Arsenal's Cherki
So, the first thing to say, and it’s an important qualifier, is that Karetsas is not at the same level as Cherki at the moment, and fans should not expect him to be.
After all, the Greek prospect is four years the Frenchman’s junior and, as a result, is much further behind in his development.
However, with some key similarities between the pair, it’s not hard to see a world in which the 17-year-old follows his development and eventually becomes a truly top-level player.
The first of these similarities is where they play, as while the Lyon ace has just about spent more time off the right this season, his most played position across his career has been in attacking midfield.
Likewise, the incredibly exciting Genk gem is primarily an attacking midfielder but has made a few appearances out wide, and according to respected analyst Ben Mattinson, his “1v1 ability and 2 footedness will make him deadly on the wings.”
That description of the youngster sounds an awful lot like the City-bound star, who has more than proven his own 1v1 ability and is unquestionably brilliant with both feet.
Furthermore, on top of his dribbling, Mattinson highlights the Genk-born talent’s ability on the ball, describing him as someone capable of playing “defence splitting passes” and saying that he should not be given any “space anywhere near the box on either side as he’ll hit the corners.”
In short, Mattinson’s description of the youngster as someone who “has it all” doesn’t feel too wide of the mark, and his underlying numbers from this season further back up that assessment.
According to FBref, he sits in the top 1% of attacking midfielders and wingers in the next 14 competitions for carries, total carrying distance and fouls drawn, the top 3% for key passes, crosses and shot-creating actions from dead-balls, the top 5% for expected assists and shot-creating actions, the top 6% for take-ons attempted and more, all per 90.

Ultimately, while it’s a lot of money to spend on someone so young, it might end up being an incredible bit of business a few years from now, as, just like Cherki, Karetsas looks like he has everything a number ten or winger would need to succeed at the very highest level.

Ireland allrounder Simi Singh is seriously ill, the Irish board said on Thursday.Singh, 37, has played 35 ODIs and 53 T20Is for Ireland, bowling spin and batting in the lower-middle order. He last turned out for Ireland at the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, and his last competitive cricket came a year ago, for Leinster Lightning in the Inter-Pro List A tournament.”We have received shocking news that our friend Simi Singh is currently dealing with life-threatening health circumstances,” a statement signed by Cricket Ireland CEO Warren Deutrom read. “On behalf of Cricket Ireland, and indeed the wider Irish cricket community, I would like to extend our best wishes and prayers to Simi as he takes on this new fight.”After moving to Ireland, Simi has become a central figure within Irish cricket – whether at international, provincial or club level – he has shown a desire and drive to succeed. We now hope that this same drive will see him come through the current circumstances.”The details of Singh’s illness are yet to be confirmed.Singh has 39 ODI wickets at an average of 25.92 and an economy of just 3.99, and 44 T20I wickets at 27.84 with an equally commendable short-format economy of 7.61. He had a particularly impressive 2021 in ODI cricket, taking 19 wickets at 20.15 and hitting his highest score in the format: 100 not out off 91 in a big chase against South Africa (Ireland fell 70 short chasing 347). His strong numbers eventually put him in ESPNcricinfo’s men’s ODI Team of the Year that year.

WHAT KEHL SAID
Kehl told Sky Germany: "We have given Jamie permission to hold talks with another club, which are still ongoing. There are still things to be clarified. Things are moving, but no decision has been made yet. We were aware that the player has a higher market value than what was on the table two weeks ago. We’ve exuded confidence. In the final analysis, we’ll see if we receive adequate compensation."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Chelsea are aiming to compete on all fronts next season by signing another array of attacking players this summer. Liam Delap has already arrived as the club's new number nine, with Brighton's Joao Pedro expected to join Gittens by signing in the coming days.

WHAT NEXT FOR DORTMUND?
Dortmund have plenty to think about on the field, ahead of their Club World Cup last-16 tie against Monterrey on Tuesday night. With Gittens in discussions with Chelsea, they will have to do without the Englishman.

Leipzig demand bonus cash for Olmo transferMultiple payments could be on the cards for La Liga championsCatalans scrambling to make ends meet amid Williams pursuitFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
RB Leipzig can apparently look forward to a windfall worth millions. According to , Barcelona are being forced to make a payment for last summer's transfer of Olmo. The report explains that the Catalans must transfer €2.8m to the Bundesliga club because negotiated bonuses are due.
AdvertisementGetty ImagesTHE BIGGER PICTURE
Barca paid a reported €55m for the 27-year-old's services around a year ago, before Olmo's eligibility to play ended in chaos. Nonetheless, the attacking midfielder contributed 10 goals and four assists in 25 league games, playing a decisive role in winning the title. According to , the bonus payment could not be the last. If Olmo meets further criteria for coach Hansi Flick's team, another €4.2m would be added.
DID YOU KNOW?
Meanwhile, Barca's financial situation is anything but easy due to the Olmo money. According to reports, the club is currently working flat out to secure the signing of their most desired transfer target this summer, Nico Williams. However, he wants a guarantee that he will not face a similar disaster to Olmo when registering for competitive matches. As a result, Bayern Munich are also said to be lying in wait. The Athletic Club winger is also considered the ideal solution in Munich.
Getty ImagesWHAT NEXT FOR BARCELONA?
La Liga president Javier Tebas reportedly informed Barcelona president Joan Laporta that they have returned to the 1:1 rule, despite the former repeatedly reiterating how the Catalans are incapable of registering Williams. As things stand, the Liga champions are expected to trigger the 22-year-old's release clause this month.

All you need to know about the PNG-Uganda clash
Match details
Papua New Guinea vs Uganda
June 5, Providence, 7.30pm local
Big picture – A historic first
History beckons when Papua New Guinea take on Uganda in an all-Associate clash in Group C with one of them set for their first win in a T20 World Cup. Both teams know Wednesday’s game will be their best shot at collecting two crucial points, having been placed alongside strong teams such as Afghanistan, West Indies and New Zealand in the group.Both PNG and Uganda are coming off defeats in their opening-round fixtures but that may not necessarily dent their confidence. PNG, who made their T20 World Cup debut in 2021, had lost all of their four matches then but threatened to pull off an upset against co-hosts West Indies a few days ago. A strong team in the East Asia-Pacific region, especially in the shortest format, PNG are capable of handing Uganda – in their first World Cup appearance in any sport – a thrashing.Uganda are a high-energy team. One of the biggest highlights in their journey to the Caribbean was qualifying ahead of Zimbabwe via the Africa Region Qualifier last year, where they beat Zimbabwe by five wickets. Cut to 2024, up against Afghanistan in the opener, they folded for 58 in chase of 184, and it underlined the gulf between the two sides. Come Wednesday, the gulf may not be massive, thus providing a realistic hope for Uganda – who have played a total of 92 games in this format since achieving the T20I status in 2019 – to etch their name into World Cup history. But can they put up a better show with the bat will be the question?

In the spotlight – Sesse Bau and Roger Mukasa
Sese Bau, one of PNG’s prolific batters, is fresh off a half-century against high-quality bowling of West Indies. Having lost the top three for 34 in that game, it was his knock that held the innings for PNG and dragged them to 136. He was comfortable driving Andre Russell down the ground, reverse-sweeping Akeal Hosein and skipping down the track to Gudakesh Motie. Bau, the fourth-highest run-scorer for PNG in T20Is with 941 runs in 45 innings, will be keen to carry forward this momentum into the second game as well.Roger Mukasa is a solid right-handed top-order batter for Uganda. He has featured in 56 of Uganda’s 92 T20Is and accumulated 1186 runs at a strike rate of 121.39. The 35-year old was also the second-highest T20I run-scorer in 2023 with 738 runs. He was dismissed for 0 against Afghanistan but scored an unbeaten 51 off 41 against Namibia in a warm-up game in Tarouba. His contribution at No.3 will be key for Uganda.Norman Vanua bowls during a PNG training session in Guyana•ICC/Getty Images
Team news
Norman Vanua, PNG’s highest wicket-taker in T20Is, was expected to lead the pace attack but missed the first game. It remains to be seen if he will make it to the XI against Uganda.PNG (probable XI): 1 Tony Ura, 2 Assad Vala (capt), 3 Lega Siaka, 4 Sese Bau, 5 Hiri Hiri, 6 Charles Amini, 7 Kiplin Doriga (wk), 8 Chad Soper, 9 Alei Nao, 10 Kabua Morea, 11 John KarikoUganda went in with an experienced XI and used as many as seven bowlers against Afghanistan. With three spinners and four pace-bowling options, they might stick with the same XI.Uganda (probable XI): 1 Ronak Patel, 2 Simon Ssesazi (wk), 3 Roger Mukasa, 4 Riazat Ali Shah, 5 Dinesh Nakrani, 6 Alpesh Ramjani, 7 Robinson Obuya, 8 Brian Masaba (capt), 9 Bilal Hassan, 10 Cosmas Kyewuta, 11 Henry Ssenyondo
Stats that matter
PNG beat Uganda by eight wickets in 2022, the only time these two sides met in a T20I before the World Cup.
Sese Bau is 59 shy of 1000 runs in T20Is.
Simon Ssesazi is the only Uganda batter to cross 2000 runs in T20Is.
Pitch and conditions
The average score at Providence in men’s T20s since the start of 2023 is 159. Of the nine games played in CPL 2023, only two games witnessed 200-plus scores. The surface has been slow traditionally, so spinners might play a crucial role. There are chances of thunderstorms and showers throughout the day.
Quotes
“The joy of playing the game, which is something I love to see, and giving everything when they go out in the middle, giving everything when we come to practice, it’s a part of my game and it’s a part of what I like to see in teams that I work with. So, seeing that and seeing the energy they have, I remember the first practice session, the energy in just the warm-ups, I was like, how are we going to practice today? But they love it and the enjoyment of being at the World Cup and representing PNG is huge, so I have enjoyed that.”
“It’s a baby of the World Cup to be honest, Uganda. That’s just a new country to the international, this is the first experience they are facing under lights also. So now they have experienced that. But this team might take a little time. We have to be really patient with these kind of players because if you remember in 1975, India played their first World Cup and if I’m not wrong, they played all 60 overs for 36 [very few] runs – whole 60 overs. So, India was just new to the World Cup, same with Uganda you never know after 15 – 20 years you find that Uganda is holding the trophy somewhere.” Uganda coach Abhay Sharma on the team’s lack of experience under lights

أكد بول بوسا المدير الفني لنادي أوكلاند سيتي النيوزيلندي، على علمه بمدى قوة بيراميدز قبل المباراة المرتقبة بينهما، والتي تجمعهما ضمن منافسات بطولة كأس إنتركونتيننتال.
ويستضيف بيراميدز بطل قارة إفريقيا، نظيره أوكلاند سيتي بطل أوقيانوسيا في التاسعة مساء غدًا الأحد باستاد الدفاع الجوي، في إطار الدور الأول من بطولة كأس إنتركونتيننتال.
وقال بوسا في تصريحات خلال المؤتمر الصحفي اليوم: “أنا أعلم جيدًا مدى صعوبة المواجهة التي تجمعنا بنادي بيراميدز في كأس إنتركونتيننتال خاصة كونه بطل قارة أفريقيا وأحد أهم أنديتها حاليًا، وبعد متابعة عن قرب، أعلم جيدًا مدى الجودة التي يتمتع بها الفريق والإمكانيات الكبيرة في صفوفه وبالتالي المهمة ستكون غاية في الصعوبة أمامه”.
وأوضح: “تابعت الفترة الأخيرة فريق بيراميدز سواء معسكر الإعداد القوي أو اللقاءات الأخيرة في الدوري المصري، وأعلم عنه كل شيء، هو فريق يحاول فرض نفسه في الملعب من خلال الاستحواذ الكامل على الكرة”.

وواصل: “كون اللقاء يقام في مصر، فأنا أعلم أن بيراميدز سيلعب على السيطرة وفرض أسلوبه، وعلينا الاعتماد على الدفاع القوي في مواجهته، من أجل الخروج بنتيجة جيدة تؤهل فريقي إلى الدور الثاني”.
وزاد: “فريقي يمتلك خبرة كبيرة في مشاركات عديدة بكأس العالم للأندية والبطولات الكبرى وسيحاول الاستفادة من تلك الخبرات رغم قوة المنافس الممثل لقارة أفريقيا، القوية والأكثر خبرة في مثل هذه المباريات”.
وأتم: “أوكلاند سيتي يستعد جيدًا لتلك المواجهة الصعبة من خلال معسكر لعدة أيام في أبوظبي، وأكثر ما يقلقني هو الإرهاق خاصة وأن بيراميدز يلعب على أرضه في حين استغرق أوكلاند قرابة 17 ساعة في رحلة طيران من أجل الوصول للإمارات ومنها إلى القاهرة”.
