It is no longer politically incorrect to criticise the Indian women’s team 

Heads of government and sports teams have the luxury of a ‘honeymoon period’ when there is greater tolerance of failure, and the media (and public) are not as harsh on them as they might otherwise be. The Indian women’s cricket team – a wonderfully talented bunch – has had an extended honeymoon period, their individual and collective achievements highlighted and their obvious drawbacks glossed over.

Yogeshwar Dutt’s presence in Oversight committee untenable: Bajrang Punia

The group of India’s top wrestlers levelling allegations of sexual harassment against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Singh Sharan have lost faith in an Oversight Committee member, grappler Yogeshwar Dutt, after his coach Ramphal Mann was purportedly heard giving details of the hearing during a sting operation by a news channel. Mann purportedly said that Yogeshwar told him that there was no irrefutable proof about the allegations of sexual harassment against the WFI president. In the nearly seven-minute long video, the coach also gives details of what two alleged victims said before the Oversight Committee and attributed the information he had to London Olympics bronze-medal winner Yogeshwar.

Paris Saint Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi investigated for ‘torture and kidnapping’

Paris Saint Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is being investigated for the alleged kidnapping and torture of Franco-Algerian lobbyist Tayeb Benabderrahmane, according to various reports. Several months ago, Benabderrahmane had filed a complaint against Al-Khelaifi accusing the PSG honcho of torturing him in Qatar in 2020 due to him possessing documents containing compromising information on Al-Khelaifi. Now, three French judges have been appointed to launch an investigation into the aforementioned incident. Reacting to the news, Al-Khelaïfi said as quoted by The Sun, “You are talking about professional criminals. They’ve changed their lawyers more times than they’ve changed their stories and their lies.

What we had to do was recovery and the ones who played less (in the final) did a good training session. “Nothing beyond, eh? Get back to work!” Ten Hag, who joined United from Ajax Amsterdam...
