However, his NOC was revoked on the day of the match by BCCI for unspecified reasons. Interestingly, he was supposed to lead a team named after him (Irfan Falcons) against the Misbah-ul-Haq led Eagles. In case you didn’t know… This is not the first time that the BCCI have denied permission to Indian cricketers who seek to participate in overseas T20 tournaments/matches. During February, Irfan’s half-brother Yusuf found out that his NOC to take part in the Hong Kong T20 Blitz was revoked at the eleventh hour....

Chicago faithful held out hope that the team could land either Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson in one of the craziest quarterback free-agency periods in recent memory. Either one would immediately improve a team, but especially a morose Bears offense that was led by uninspiring quarterback play from former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles and top-10 pick Mitchell Trubisky. Instead, the Bears signed Andy Dalton to a one-year, $10 million deal after he served as a plug-in quarterback for the Cowboys in 2020....

Fields played sparingly in the Bears’ 34-14 loss to the Rams, but he was impactful. He completed both of his pass attempts for 10 yards and had a 3-yard touchdown run off a run/pass option (RPO). IYER: Worst overreactions from NFL Week 1 Nagy came away from the game impressed with Fields. He noted Fields’ success in the RPO game and red-zone package as positive signs for the rookie’s development....

Alaba had to be helped off the field following a challenge with Danny Da Costa as Bayern thumped Niko Kovac’s old club Eintracht Frankfurt 5-0. Bayern saw the game out with 10 men as Kovac had used all his substitutions and Alaba was unable to continue in Sunday’s crushing win, which saw Robert Lewandowski hit a hat-trick. Kovac told ZDF after the game he was hopeful Alaba’s knee injury would be minor and medical tests on Monday confirmed there was no serious damage for the versatile Austria international....

In case you didn’t know… FIFA Mobile, unlike FIFA 18, updates its player ratings very frequently and Futhead.com’s FIFA Mobile rating leaderboard is often dominated by Elite Card players whose ratings are almost always 100, or 99 at the very least. The heart of the matter FIFA Mobile’s Elite Card players dominate the rating leaderboard and it is no surprise that Rodriguez’s Elite Card is currently the top card in the game....

Speaking to FAZ Rummenigge said “If Mario stays here, it won’t be easy for him, because a world-class player is coming to us. The question is whether he wants to face up to this competition or would prefer to go to another club.” Mandzukic, 27, has emerged as a target for a host of Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. He has been left out of the Bavarian’s squad for the DFB Pokal final against Borussia Dortmund on disciplinary grounds and could be set for a move away....

That season Bayern came out on top in a titanic struggle with Borussia Dortmund, wrestling back domestic control from Jurgen Klopp’s vibrant side and beating them 2-1 after extra time in the Champions League final. Respective thumping wins over Barcelona and Real Madrid to reach that Wembley showpiece and the exploits of that season, along with Germany’s World Cup triumph 12 months later, underlined the Bundesliga’s status as Europe’s model league in the eyes of many purists....

Bayonetta 3 game director Yusuke Miyata shocked franchise fans by confirming the longtime voice actor for Bayonetta wouldn’t be returning. Miyata described replacing Taylor as due to “various overlapping circumstances.” Taylor voiced Bayonetta in both of the franchise’s first two games, the Bayonetta: Bloody Fate anime film, and in both Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Her voice is iconic to the character, and her replacement was difficult to believe....

Bayonetta 3 launched around one month ago, over 8 years after the launch of Bayonetta 2. In most fans’ minds, a continuation of the Bayonetta franchise was never a certainty – if anything, it seemed unlikely. The action franchise had never been incredibly successful, plus the Nintendo exclusivity of the series has always been an odd fit for the strangeness that Platinum Games loved to deliver. Nevertheless, Bayonetta 3 was made, and further its ending left a door open for more in the future....

This change affects the game’s rating, as instead of a bombastic, titillating, and expressive adult fighting giant demons, it features a younger and less experienced version of the character who goes through a more whimsical and storybook-like adventure. The ESRB’s website has given Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon its rating before the game’s release on March 17, which gives fans an idea of what to expect from the spin-off in terms of violence and other elements during gameplay....

Abdi said that both BCCI and RCA are registered bodies under the Registrar of Co-operative Societies and it is only the registrar who is authorised to form an ad-hoc committee if needed. The BCCI reportedly is planning to set-up a five-member committee, headed by former India batsman Brijesh Patel, to run the affairs of Rajasthan cricket replacing the suspended RCA, which is headed by Lalit Modi, who has been expelled by the board....

Out of the four substitutes for the second Test which includes the likes of Mayank Agarwal and Mohammed Shami, only Siraj and Vihari’s teams have made it to the quarters.
