England allrounder praises youngsters after thrilling victory in second Test
ESPNcricinfo staff07-Jan-2020
Ben Stokes celebrates the wicket of Dwaine Pretorius•Getty Images
Ben Stokes has said that England’s young team should use a memorable victory over South Africa as a stepping stone towards greater things, after he helped seal a 189-run win with three late wickets on a thrilling final day at Newlands.Stokes, who also scored 119 runs in the match and claimed six wickets at slip in an outstanding personal display, paid particular tribute to Dom Sibley, whose maiden Test century in the second innings laid the platform for his own explosive contribution of 72 from 47 balls.Stokes even tried to persuade Sibley to join him on the podium after being named Player of the Match, and later insisted that he keep the trophy as a memento of his own role in a famous win.”I came in in situations where it was do-or-die, really, and I thought Dom put all the hard yards in to get us into a position of winning,” Stokes said during the post-match presentations. “He’s the Man of the Match. He’s the one who should be up here.”So we are sitting next to each other in the dressing room and I walked in, gave [the trophy] to him, and he put it in my place. I went ‘no’, and put it in his bag. I walked back in and it was back in my bag. I said ‘you’ve shafted me once by making me do the interviews, if it ends up back in my spot we are never sitting next to each other again’. He has got it now!”Full credit’s got to go to Dom for how he played in his first Test hundred, at the most beautiful ground in the world. And full credit’s got to go to everyone who played this week. We’ve got three members of the group who are 21 years of age, and have had to step up on the biggest stage.””Sam Curran, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope and even Dom himself, they are so inexperienced in that batting unit but they’ve shown how good they are. The future looks great for us, and hopefully this is a stepping stone because we’ve shown a serious amount of character, and what we’re all about.”Joe Root, however, ensured that Stokes could not deflect all the praise, after another display of selfless team-orientated Test cricket helped England to their first victory at Cape Town in 63 years.As if his runs and catches were not enough, the manner in which Stokes stepped up on the final afternoon, amid doubts about James Anderson’s fitness, was exemplary. He effectively ensured the win with two wickets in as many balls to prise out Dwaine Pretorius and Anrich Nortje first ball, then sealed the deal with 8.2 overs remaining as Vernon Philander fenced to gully.”He makes things happen, he’s a golden nugget in our side,” Root said. “And it’s not happened by accident, he works bloody hard and sets a great example to the young guys around in our team as they come into this side, seeing what Test cricket is like and how different it is to county cricket.”They are having to learn on their feet, and in situations like that and they’re standing up as well, which this week has really pleased me, and made me really proud of a very young set of lads.”But you can you can throw the ball to Stokes or you can put him in any situation and know he’s going to stand up for you,” Root added. “He’s going to do absolutely everything for the rest of the guys, he plays 100 percent for the team. And he’s a brilliant role model for all the other guys coming through.”He’s a brilliant senior player. He stands up and puts in a spell like that, a nine-over spell, he just keep running him free all the time. and as we’ve seen with the bat, he can he can really change the game from any situation. So he’s a world-class player and deserves all the plaudits he can get from the game.”For Stokes himself, the performance came after a torrid fortnight in which his father Ged was taken ill before Christmas. He is now thankfully out of hospital, and Stokes hoped the change of fortune on and off the field wasn’t a prelude to another dip in his personal rollercoaster.”2020 can only really go downhill from here after that,” he said. “I’ve had a few knee issues and stuff like that, but this game here I’ve got the three Lions on my chest, which is such a proud thing to be standing on a field doing.”But I always had my Dad in the back of my mind, and that took any injury worries or niggles out of my head. I was thinking that he came out here to watch me and unfortunately he’s not been able to so there was a lot more in my efforts this game, doing it for him. I haven’t managed to speak to him yet but hopefully I’ve made him proud.”
Celtic are reportedly set to table a big offer to sign a “highly rated” player for Brendan Rodgers this summer, in a deal potentially worth £7.5m.
Celtic transfer news
The Hoops continue to be linked with possible new signings in the summer transfer window, following what will hopefully be the end of a season that finishes with Scottish Premiership glory.
Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan is one player who has been linked with a move to Parkhead, with the 23-year-old once compared to Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne, which says a lot about his quality. He could be seen as a potential replacement for Matt O'Riley this summer, should the Celtic ace leave the club.
Fotis Ioannidis
A big-money move for Panathinaikos attacker Fotis Ioannidis has also been mooted in recent days, with a transfer that could cost a minimum of £12m reportedly in the works. Jake Clarke-Salter is another rumoured option for the Hoops, with the 26-year-old defender currently plying his trade at Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
Then there's Blackburn Rovers and Republic of Ireland striker Sammie Szmodics, who Celtic are believed to be battling with Premier League clubs to sign. He is enjoying a fantastic season, scoring 23 goals in 39 Championship appearances overall.
Celtic readying £7.5m offer for goalkeeper
According to a new update relayed by The Daily Record, Celtic are readying a £7.5m offer for Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir this summer, seeing him as a great option to replace Joe Hart between the sticks, ahead of the veteran's retirement at the end of the campaign.
The report states that the search is on for a top-class new 'keeper and "it has emerged from Turkey that Trabzonspor's Cakir could be that man with the Hoops seeking permission for talks with his management team and lawyer and a Zoom call between the player and Rodgers."

Cakir could be a superb option for Celtic in the summer, and the fact that they are willing to possibly pay £7.5m says a lot about his credentials as a player.
The 28-year-old is a hugely established footballer, but still has years left in him, captaining Trabzonspor and also winning 27 caps for Turkey to date. Meanwhile, YouTuber Conor McGilligan heaped praise on him in the past when Leeds United were tracking him, saying:
"It is one of those things where Leeds have just got to keep pursuing, we’ve got to keep going for these deals with someone like Ugurcan, highly rated, seen as one of the top ‘keepers in Turkey, one of the top ‘keepers in Europe, it’s definitely one to keep an eye on."
Celtic's "incredible" star must be unleashed with O'Riley
The Hoops ace could thrive at the top end of the pitch with the Denmark international’s creativity.
ByDan Emery Apr 7, 2024
Hart is going to leave a big void in Celtic's goal, proving to be such a strong performer over the years, and it is essential that Rodgers brings in a formidable successor. In Cakir, the Hoops may have a fantastic option in that respect, so they could look to do all they can to strike a deal.
Celtic loanee Adam Idah continued his fine start to life in Glasgow with his fantastic Old Firm strike in the Scottish Premiership match on Sunday.
The Ireland international took his tally to six goals in nine league appearances for the Hoops, since his move on loan from Norwich City on deadline day at the start of February.
Idah has chipped in with six goals and two assists in nine Premiership games, despite only starting four of those outings, which shows that he has hit the ground running in Scotland.
However, Celtic do not have an option to make the deal permanent in the summer and this means that they may need to look elsewhere beyond this season to find their heir to Kyogo Furuhashi, who has struggled at times this term.
Adam Idah
Brendan Rodgers, though, could find a homegrown long-term replacement for the Japan international in the form of B team star Daniel Cummings, who has been on fire in front of goal.
Kyogo Furuhashi's struggles this season
The 29-year-old marksman failed to find the back of the net against Rangers in the Old Firm clash on Sunday and has now only scored one goal in his last six games.
Kyogo has scored ten goals in 32 league appearances for the Hoops so far this season, which is a return of one strike every 3.2 games on average, and has been very wasteful with the chances that have been created for him.
As you can see in the table above, no Celtic player has underperformed their xG by more than the Japanese striker, who has only scored ten goals from an xG of 14.59.
The experienced attacker has missed a staggering 20 'big chances' in the Premiership this term, and Rodgers could dip into the academy in pre-season later this year to unearth a potential heir to Kyogo's place in the team.
Daniel Cummings' electric academy performances
The 17-year-old starlet, who turns 18 this month, has been on fire in the Lowland League so far this season for the B team, having made his breakthrough at that level during the 2022/23 campaign.
Cummings scored three goals in ten appearances in the division last term, despite only playing 231 minutes of action, and has been a regular this year.
The teenage sensation, who has scored one goal in three games for Scotland's U17s, has fired in 12 goals in 16 Lowland League outings for the young Hoops – in 1,062 minutes.
Kyogo Furuhashi
This means that the talented marksman, who could emerge as Kyogo's long-term heir, has plundered 15 goals in 1,293 minutes of action in the Lowland League since the start of last season.
That is a return of one goal every 86.2 minutes on average – better than a goal per 90 – whilst the Japanese forward has scored once every 213 minutes in the Premiership for Celtic.
This suggests that the potential is there for the 17-year-old star to eventually become a first-team option for Rodgers, if he can translate that impressive form over to the senior squad.
It is down to the manager, however, to provide him with that opportunity to shine and Idah returning to Norwich at the end of his loan could open the door for Cummings to state his case for a place in the side next season.
Leeds United are back in action in the Championship in a game that could have big ramifications at both ends of the play-offs against Coventry on Saturday.
The Whites are fighting it out to land an automatic promotion place to secure a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking, as they sit second and one point ahead of Leicester City in third.
Coventry, meanwhile, are seventh in the division and battling to finish within the top six, with Norwich City currently four points ahead of Mark Robins' side.
Leeds come into this game off the back of a 3-1 win over Hull City on Easter Monday, as goals from Crysencio Summerville and Dan James during the second half secured all three points for the hosts at Elland Road.
They now travel away from Yorkshire in hope of picking up all three points at the CBS Arena, and here is FFC's predicted Whites lineup that Daniel Farke could select to take to the field against Coventry on Saturday.
1 Illan Meslier
Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
Illan Meslier could retain his place between the sticks. He has been Farke's number one throughout the Championship season and there was little the French titan could have done to stop Fabio Carvalho's close-range finish on Monday.
2 Sam Byram
Leeds defender Sam Byram.
At right-back, an injury to Connor Roberts has provided Sam Byram with an opportunity to play in his natural position, rather than on his weaker side at left-back.
The former Norwich City defender grasped his opportunity with both hands against Hull, with the opening goal at the back post for Leeds on the night.
He showed fantastic determination to follow in the deflected cross from Summerville to bundle the ball into the back of the net, and the experienced battler should start once again this weekend.
3 Joe Rodon
Leeds United's loan defender Joe Rodon.
At the heart of the defence, reliable centre-back Joe Rodon should retain his position. The Tottenham Hotspur loanee won the physical battle against Hull with five of his six duels won on the night.
4 Ethan Ampadu
Leeds midfielder Ethan Ampadu.
Alongside Rodon, former Chelsea prospect Ethan Ampadu should continue to deputise in the absence of Pascal Struijk, who is now set to miss the remainder of the campaign with a groin injury.
A natural defensive midfielder, the Wales international has stepped into the backline and been a solid performer for the Whites, with a duel success rate of 59% and 6.8 ball recoveries per game across 40 league outings this term.
5 Junior Firpo
Leeds United defender Junior Firpo.
Junior Firpo should keep his place at left-back, with Byram on the right, as he is the only natural senior left-back option in the squad at the moment.
The former Barcelona defender has provided an attacking threat from left-back in the second tier, with nine 'big chances' created and five assists in 20 matches.
6 Ilia Gruev
Leeds midfielder Ilia Gruev.
The first alteration to the starting XI could come at the base of the midfield with Ilia Gruev returning to the team to replace teenager Archie Gray.
Ahead of the match, Farke revealed that the Bulgaria international is the closest to returning out of the current crop of injured stars, and claimed that there is a chance that he will be available to play against Coventry.
Gray only completed 83% of his attempted passes, without creating a single chance for his teammates, and lost three of his six ground duels against Hull, which is why he could be dropped to the bench.
Gruev, who has completed 93% of his attempted passes and won 56% of his ground duels in the Championship, could provide more reliability in possession and strength in battles on the deck to control the midfield for the Whites.
7 Glen Kamara
Next to the former Werder Bremen ace, Glen Kamara could keep his place in the middle of the park due to his metronomic play on the ball for the Whites.
His sublime ability to rarely give the ball away, with a pass accuracy of 93% across 32 league appearances, helps Leeds to control matches as opponents find it hard to stop him from dictating games, as shown by his incredibly efficient passing.
8 Dan James
Dan James
On the right of the attack, Dan James' position in the side is safe as Wilfried Gnonto, who had scored two goals in his last two games, remains out injured, and the Welsh forward scored from range late on against Hull after Ryan Allsop had come up and got caught out of his goal.
9 Georginio Rutter
Georginio Rutter
In the number ten position, Farke could keep his faith in Georginio Rutter, despite a below par performance against Hull – with two 'big chances' missed and only one key pass provided for his teammates.
The 21-year-old forward has created 22 'big chances', registered 15 assists, and made 2.1 key passes per game in the Championship so far this season, which shows that he was far from at his best on Monday.
10 Crysencio Summerville
Crysencio Summerville.
On the left, Crysencio Summerville is an easy selection for the German head coach. The Dutch forward has been in terrific form at the top end of the pitch throughout the league season.
He scored his 17th Championship goal of the campaign from the penalty spot, after a one-sided debate with Joel Piroe, against Hull, which came after his terrific strike against Watford from distance in the previous match.
Perth Scorchers 6 for 149 (Bancroft 50) beat Brisbane Heat 109 (Ahmed 3-16) by 40 runs The Brisbane Heat’s poor record on the Gold Coast continued as they crashed to their fourth defeat at Metricon Stadium in what has become a stuttering start to the tournament. The Perth Scorchers worked hard to post 6 for 149 on a two-paced surface that left them uncertain what a good total was, before their bowling attack overwhelmed a woeful batting display.The Scorchers’ innings never really fully came to life, but the scoreboard kept ticking and, crucially, they didn’t lose wickets in clusters. Zahir Khan caused plenty of problems with his left-arm wristspin and in the end the Scorchers were content to play him out. Mitchell Marsh provided some brief power, but the innings was marshalled by Cameron Bancroft’s calm half-century as the last five overs brought 46 runs.The Heat’s hopes all but went in the powerplay as they lost four wickets with questions remaining over the balance of their side. Ashton Agar and Fawad Ahmed took 5 for 32 between them against some poor shot selection, with Chris Lynn watching much of collapse unfold before he became part of it. AB de Villiers probably can’t arrive soon enough.Khan squeezesThe Scorchers didn’t know what to do against Khan with most of the top order struggling to pick his variations. He was introduced in the fourth over and after Liam Livingstone sent him through midwicket (the only boundary he would concede), but next ball he was pinned lbw with a delivery that would have taken off stump. Josh Inglis was the next bamboozled as he charged at a googly and missed by a long way as the powerplay ended on 2 for 44. Khan’s next two overs were the 12th and 15th of the innings as the Scorchers were trying to lift the tempo but he conceded just 10 runs and delivered five dot balls, four of them against Marsh. “Bit of a weird pitch,” was Livingstone’s view of the surface speaking later to the broadcasters, and it would be clear the Scorchers had got it right.Bancroft’s brains, Laughlin’s centuryMarsh threatened to ignite the Scorchers innings when he launched two mighty sixes into the upper levels of the stands but picked out the deep attempting a third. That gave Ben Laughlin his 99th wicket in the BBL and in the final over of the innings he became the first player to bring up a century when he claimed Agar. However, Bancroft held the Scorchers’ effort together with a steady 41-ball half-century even though he rarely found the going easy. The 18th over, against Mark Steketee, was his most productive as he managed to clear long-on for six and heaved another boundary as a defendable total loomed into view.Heat’s heavy top topplesThe Heat’s two losses before today had come chasing, their win batting first, which suggests – with a small sample size – that a front-loaded batting order struggles to adapt to batting second (or that Lynn had a mad night in Sydney). They had a horrid powerplay on this occasion, losing four wickets before the six overs were done. Tom Banton was pinned lbw by Jhye Richardson’s nip-backer, Max Bryant’s poor start to the tournament continued as he charged Agar’s first ball, and Chris Jordan also struck first ball when Matt Renshaw got a leading edge on a slower ball. Just to compound things, the ball after Sam Heazlett launched Matt Kelly for a leg-side six he was lbw to a very full delivery: 4 for 38 was no sort of platform, even if Lynn remained.A mess against spinA dismal batting display by the Heat continued with Lynn stranded at the non-strikers end and when he was on strike, having to play out dot balls to make sure he remained in the middle. No one could stay with him while the asking rate was within his striking range. Agar’s excellent night with the ball continued when he removed Jimmy Pierson and Ben Cutting played an awful shot to be bowled by Ahmed. It was a no-win situation for Lynn and he picked out long-on against Ahmed to leave the Heat at 7 for 51. The game was gone.
India captain unfazed by concerns over her form; confident of making a splash at the T20 World Cup
Ankur Dhawan in Mumbai23-Jan-2020Having come close to the title in two world tournaments over the last three years, India are looking at handling pressure better at next month’s T20 World Cup in Australia by enjoying their cricket and the overall experience.England pipped India by nine runs by England at the 2017 Women’s World Cup. A year later in the Caribbean, they were beaten by England in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. This time, Harmanpreet Kaur, the India captain, wants the team to focus on their skills instead of being overawed in big games.”We were quite close in the last two World Cups, the only thing we need to keep in mind is how to handle pressure in the tournaments,” Harmanpreet said ahead of the team’s departure to Australia.India aim to be better prepared this time by playing a tri-series with Australia and England, ahead of their T20 World Cup opener against the hosts on February 21 in Sydney.”This time, rather than thinking we are going for a big tournament, we just want to focus on our skills,” Harmanpreet said. “That will be important for us and when we focus on these things, we produce better results.”India suffered form slump after that semi-final defeat in 2018. It started in New Zealand in February 2019, where they lost the the T20Is 3-0. They then lost to England at home by the same margin.While they somewhat recovered to beat South Africa 3-1 and West Indies 5-0, their over-dependance on Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet hurt them.In New Zealand, Mandhana and Rodrigues contributed 72.55 percent of India’s total runs (312 of 430 runs they made). Against England, barring one fifty across three matches, also from Mandhana, the batting was a collective failure.Shafali Verma’s arrival on the big stage last September, and her ability to take on the bowling upfront has somewhat eased the pressure off Mandhana.In the Caribbean last November, she outscored both Mandhana and Rodrigues and topped the run charts with 158 runs, including two fifties. Significantly, since Shafali’s debut, India have lost just one of their nine T20Is.”At the start of last season, we did not do well enough in few games when it came to batting,” head coach WV Raman observed. “After that it has settled down. Each one of them have had quite few good hits.”They are all in good nick and they have also worked on their skills. Which means that you do have a fair bit of security and confidence going into this tournament, given what has happened in the last six months.”Batting aside, India are banking on their spin-strength to tie up opponents. They’ve picked just three pacers in the squad of fifteen, with no provision for a back-up should one of them pick up a niggle.Among the spinners, Radha Yadav (left-arm finger spin), Deepti Sharma (right-arm offspin) and Poonam Yadav (right-arm leg-spin) were in the top ten wicket-takers last year, with Radha leading the way with 21 victims at less than six per over).”Definitely (spin is the strength of the team) because our spinners are doing quite well,” Raman said. “They always give us breakthroughs whenever we need them. So I am looking forward to and how our spinners perform there (in Australia).”There are concerns over Harmanpreet’s form. She averaged just 19 in 10 innings last year, with a best of 43. But she remains unfazed. “It is a part of the game, sometimes you do well. It is about how you deal with it mentally,” she said. “I am feeling very positive right now and very excited to see how I play in the World Cup.”Performance is something that will never happen 100 per cent because things don’t go in your favour always and you have to accept all those things. But I am really positive and excited.”

Leeds United look to be the team in the driver's seat when it comes to clinching that final Championship automatic promotion place, with Millwall already fearful that they could be turned over by Daniel Farke's vibrant Whites this coming Sunday.
Whilst the likes of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter have gained the most vocal plaudits, Ilia Gruev and Glen Kamara have been a formidable, if understated, duo in the holding midfield roles at Elland Road ensuring the defence are protected and the attackers are played into space.
The success stories of both of these new recruits means Leeds are even more content about their decision to offload one ex-Whites star now, who did – once upon a time – cost the West Yorkshire club a substantial £20m transfer fee.
Tyler Adams' time at Leeds
Tyler Adams was a standout performer for the Whites in the midst of very bleak times just last campaign, the 5 foot 9 defensive midfielder endearing himself to the hardened Elland Road masses last season even with relegation eventually staring the side in the face.
The American midfielder would go on to make 26 appearances in all competitions, before being offloaded in the wake of a mass exodus from West Yorkshire last summer to AFC Bournemouth.
This departure – after just one full campaign – would have stung from a Leeds point of view, especially with the expectation that Adams would go on to be a long-term successor to the hole left behind by Kalvin Phillips.
Described as being "monster" by journalist Kevin Koczwara when featuring for his national team that same season, which was seen at Elland Road further by Adams winning 57% of the duels that came his way from 24 top-flight games, the loss of their former £20m man is now more easily stomached with Gruev and Kamara coming into their own.
The loss of Adams is also now an after-thought when you consider how poorly the ex-Leeds number 12 has acclimatised to his new surroundings with the Cherries – the 25-year-old becoming a regular fixture in the treatment room on the South Coast as opposed to starring on the pitch, making just two appearances to date.
This has further resulted in his transfer value taking a serious hit, Leeds cashing in at the perfect possible time, although only breaking even on the move after selling him on for a £20m fee.
Tyler Adams' transfer value in 2024
Adams' value has already decreased to a lesser £15m as per Transfermarkt with the ex-RB Leipzig man just frustrated at how much of his time with the Cherries has been consumed by recurring injury troubles.
Leeds will have moved on from their former American asset quickly however, solid in the fact that Gruev and Kamara are their starters in the holding midfield roles with Archie Gray and Ethan Ampadu also competent in adding numbers and more strength to that area if needed.

2. Kalvin Phillips

3. Rio Ferdinand
£33m
4. Tyler Adams

5. Luis Sinisterra

Amazingly, Adams' injury issues have been so much of a hindrance that he has made fewer appearances than fellow expensive departure Phillips for Bournemouth.
The current West Ham loanee has made just ten appearances in the top flight this season after finally moving away from Manchester City. Despite that, he has now been left out of the latest England squad. It's safe to say life isn't always better after leaving Thorp Arch behind.
Leeds will continue attempting to be a runaway train in the Championship promotion race away from Adams and Phillips, however, blowing away teams on the way to what they hope will be an immediate surge back up to the Premier League.
Meanwhile, at the Vitality Stadium, Adams will just be aiming to get back to full fitness soon to revitalise his fading career.
Barcelona have reportedly submitted a fresh bid for Joao Cancelo with the Manchester City outcast willing to take a wage cut to seal the transfer.

Barcelona submit a second bid for Cancelo
Catalan club propose another loan for the player
Ready to pay another €18m in mandatory purchase next summer
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to the Catalan club have submitted an offer which includes a £7 million ($9m) loan fee and a £18 million ($23m) purchase clause, which would take effect at the end of the loan period. This structured deal reflects Barcelona's persistent financial constraints which once again limit their spending power this summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
City would prefer to offload Cancelo permanently rather than arranging another loan spell. However, with no other offers currently on the table, Barcelona's proposal might be the best available option. The Premier League champions are reportedly hoping to raise around £25 million ($32m) from Cancelo's transfer, and despite the delayed payment structure, they are getting closer to their target which has once again opened channels of negotiations.
DID YOU KNOW?
Cancelo is also willing to accept a lower salary than his current £150,000-a-week package to expedite the move. Barcelona are ready to pay his salary in full, which is an appealing solution to City, especially considering the reported breakdown in Cancelo's relationship with head coach Pep Guardiola.

WHAT NEXT?
While Barcelona remains the frontrunners for Cancelo's signature, other clubs have also shown interest. Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan are said to be monitoring the situation. However, City are still holding out hope for a sudden offer from the Saudi Pro League, where financial terms would not pose an issue and they can offload the player permanently this summer.
