Kusal Mendis has been released on bail a day after he was arrested for his role in a fatal motor accident in Panadura, just south of Colombo. Mendis, who was driving the SUV that hit and killed a 64-year-old cyclist at around 5am on Sunday, has also been cleared of driving under the influence by preliminary police investigations and a judicial medical officer.Mendis, 25, is understood to have been returning from the wedding of a Sri Lanka Cricket employee when the accident took place. Fellow Sri Lanka cricketer Avishka Fernando is also understood to have been on board the car, with Mendis acting as designated driver for the group.CCTV footage suggests the vehicle had veered off the road and into a garden wall, hitting the victim – a local resident – in the process. The victim had sustained substantial injuries and died in the process of being admitted to Panadura hospital.After being detained at the Panadura police station overnight near where the accident occurred, Mendis was produced before the Panadura Magistrate’s Court and released on two personal bails of Sri Lankan rupees 1 million ($5400 approx.) each. He is due to appear in court again on September 9.As Sri Lanka’s lockdowns and curfew have now ceased, Mendis was allowed to be on the road at the time. He had been part of Sri Lanka’s residential training camp in Pallekele, which ended on Wednesday.

Uh oh: New transfer update on big club moving to sign Leeds’ Archie Gray

A major European club are seemingly already plotting their move to sign Leeds United star Archie Gray this summer, according to a new transfer update.

Leeds need to sell after Championship playoff final defeat

The Whites suffered Championship playoff final heartbreak on the weekend, losing 1-0 to Southampton at Wembley. As a result, Leeds are now likely required to sell some of their star players to comply with Profitability and Sustainability rules.

Leeds could be forced to sell "electric" star alongside Summerville

Leeds United might have to sell a whole host of players now after failing to clinch promotion.

ByKelan Sarson May 28, 2024

Speaking to Sky Sports recently, Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe said there are "going" to be some departures.

“We are well capitalised from an investment standpoint. We have the funds that we need to do what we need to do. The reality of being in the Championship is that Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) plays a role. We also inherited a challenging situation, so naturally there are going to be some trade-offs. But also, we have a really good team, and it is not just about outs, but ins. We're looking at scouting possibilities and players that we can bring in. We will have to make some trade-offs because of P&S but we have the investment commitment to do what we need to do.”

Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto have already been linked with Elland Road exits, but when it specifically came to Gray’s future, Marathe added:

“It's a little too early to answer specific questions. I can't talk on specific players right now. If I can paint the big picture for you, there are certain things we need to do and we will make sure we are fully compliant with P&S as we always have been, and there are certain trade-offs that we have to make. We will get to the drawing board and figure out which moves we have to make to make sure we are compliant. It is too early to say, obviously Archie is a tremendous player, as all the players who have put so much effort in for us, but every season brings change. I can't yet comment on it, but we'll see what happens.”

However, it looks as if one European giant is already planning their move for the 18-year-old.

Bayern Munich readying Archie Gray move

According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Bayern Munich are “ready” to test Leeds’ resolve over Gray this summer, with Premier League giants Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd also keen should the teenager be available for transfer.

Within his report for HITC, Bailey adds that the Bundesliga giants are ready to try their luck when it comes to moving for Gray under incoming manager Vincent Kompany.

Gray enjoyed a phenomenal breakthrough campaign with his boyhood club, winning the EFL Young Player of the Year award and featuring regularly under Daniel Farke.

He eventually went on to make the right-back spot his own after beginning the season in his more natural midfield role, appearing 52 times in all competitions. Leeds will be hoping that it is not 52 and out, but by the looks of things, they could soon receive contact from Bayern and potentially other sides.

Entenda por que Bia Zaneratto não é mais jogadora do Palmeiras

A torcida palmeirense recebeu uma notícia triste neste sábado (07). A atacante Bia Zaneratto, destaque na boa campanha do Palmeiras na primeira fase do Brasileirão A1, irá deixar a equipe. A jogadora estava emprestada pelo Wuhan Xinjiyuan, da China, e, apesar dos esforços do Verdão, retornará ao clube asiático.

Por isso, iniciou as conversas com os chineses para contar com a atleta por mais tempo, através de uma extensão do vínculo atual, ou, até mesmo, da contratação em definitivo. A artilheira também desejava permanecer no Verdão.

O Wuhan Xinjiyuan, por outro lado, foi irredutível. Com a intenção de manter a atacante titular da Seleção Brasileira nas Olimpíadas, travou a negociação e não permitiu um acordo. Deste modo, a atleta retornará à Ásia para cumprir o restante de seu contrato com o clube.

Bia Zaneratto foi o principal nome do Palmeiras no Brasileirão A1. Com 13 gols e 13 assistências, é a artilheira da competição e foi eleita a melhor jogadora do mês de maio.

Dawid Malan drives new team into strong spot with unbeaten ton

Malan 145 not out in maiden century for White Rose since move from Middlesex

ECB Reporters Network15-Aug-2020

Dawid Malan reached his maiden century for Yorkshire•Getty Images

Dawid Malan scored a superb unbeaten maiden Yorkshire century in challenging conditions as the hosts had much the better of day one against fellow Bob Willis Trophy challengers Derbyshire at Emerald Headingley.Both sides have won their opening two North Group games, with Derby leading the race for top spot by four points.However, the visitors, missing the experience of Luis Reece, Ravi Rampaul and Tony Palladino, were unable to capitalise on a couple of openings having won the toss and elected to bowl under slate grey skies.Yorkshire fell to 40 for 2 and 106 for 4 either side of lunch before closing on 280 for 4 from 78 overs.Malan finished on 145 not out from 180 balls and Jonny Tattersall unbeaten on 64 from 142. Bad light ended play early.Fluent Malan’s England team-mate Jonny Bairstow – this will be their last four-day group appearance if they win national limited-overs selection for series against Pakistan and Australia – made 22 having been dropped on nought.The feature of Malan’s knock was his dominant driving – both through the covers and down the ground. He shared a third-wicket partnership of 66 with Adam Lyth from mid-morning to early afternoon and then an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 174 inside 44 overs with a quieter Tattersall.This is the England left-hander’s competitive home debut for the White Rose following his winter move from Middlesex. He hit a friendly half-century here against Durham last month before a match-clinching 73 came against the same opponents at Emirates Riverside in the opening round of this competition at the start of the month.It was a helter-skelter start to proceedings under the Headingley floodlights – they remained on all day.Ben Aitchison had Tom Kohler-Cadmore caught at third slip for a duck, off an under-edge as he tried to leave alone, leaving Yorkshire at 2 for 1 in the second over. In the third, Adam Lyth then pulled South African left-armer Michael Cohen for back-to-back sixes.Bairstow was dropped on nought by Derby captain Billy Godleman at mid-off following an uppish drive at Dustin Melton. Bairstow went on to drive three boundaries – two particularly convincing either side of mid-off – and pull another before he pushed aggressively at seamer Anuj Dal and edged behind.That left Yorkshire 40 for 2 in the 16th over, bringing Malan to the crease. He shared that 66 with Lyth until early afternoon before Cohen, particularly wayward at the start of the day, returned with more vigour to remove Lyth for 31 and Harry Brook for nought within the space of four balls.From there, Derby would have hoped for more rewards, with conditions still beneficial. Swing and seam were apparent, while there was also evidence of a two-paced surface.But in Malan they came across a batsman in serene touch as he set about his 26th first-class century. He reached his fifty off 87 balls and then his century off 136, by which time Yorkshire had gone beyond 200 for a first batting bonus point.The century stand between Malan and Tattersall – playing as a specialist batsman with Bairstow taking the wicketkeeping gloves – had also been confirmed. Tattersall’s innings was understated but a crucial foil for Malan, who later lofted Matt Critchley for six over long-off.Tattersall worked the ball well on the way to a 122-ball fifty and will hope to convert to a maiden first-class century against county opposition.

Retorno de Cano, desfalques e desempenho defensivo: o que ficar de olho no jogo do Vasco contra o Remo

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco entra em campo nesta sexta-feira em busca da terceira vitória seguida e de olho no G4 da Série B. Com 28 pontos, a equipe tenta se firmar no pelotão de frente e emendar uma sequência positiva. No entanto, o time terá vários desfalques importantes em meio à suspensões e lesões. Por outro lado, terá os retornos de Germán Cano e do medalhista olímpico Ricardo Graça.

Em caso de vitória, e uma combinação de resultados, o Gigante da Colina pode terminar a rodada entre os quatro primeiros. Para isso, terá que enfrentar o desafio de vencer melhorar o desempenho fora de casa e mostrar a força do elenco com os desfalques. Dito isto, o LANCE! listou cinco pontos importantes para ficar e olho no duelo desta sexta-feira.

+De virada, Vasco vence o Flamengo em São Januário e abre vantagem na final do Brasileirão Sub-17

– Cano de volta – Vasco ganha óbvio poder de fogo com a volta do centroavante titular, que precisou ser desfalque do último jogo por suspensão. O argentino está animado com o retorno e será novamente a esperança de gols da equipe no Estádio Baenão, em Belém.

– Quebra-cabeça – Lisca tem lesionados e suspensos que obrigaram Ricardo Graça a antecipar o retorno. Mas ainda não é certo de o campeão olímpico começar jogando. A lista de desfalques é extensa: Leandro Castan, Léo Matos, Marquinhos Gabriel, Michel, Daniel Amorim, Morato e Bruno Gomes.

– A presença dos Jovens – Gabriel Pec deverá voltar a ser titular diante do extenso número de desfalques. Além dele, o jovem Arthur Sales deverá voltar a ser acionado a partir do banco de reservas. Juninho, por sua vez, deve ser novamente titular do meio de campo vascaíno e tem conquistado seu espaço desde a chegada de Lisca.

– Desempenho defensivo – Embora tenha passado por sustos, principalmente contra o Vila Nova, já é o segundo jogo seguido que Vanderlei não leva gol. A retaguarda parece estar se acertando, porém passará por mudanças com o desfalque de Leandro Castan, que também não atuou no segundo tempo na terça. Na partida contra os goianos, Miranda foi titular e a tendência é que permaneça entre os onze.

– Remo – Lisca elogiou a comissão técnica do adversário do Vasco nesta sexta-feira. Ele herdou do técnico Felipe Conceição o América-MG que quase havia conquistado o acesso em 2019. Subiu em 2020 com uma excelente campanha. A equipe paraense, apesar de não vencer há dois jogos, conseguiu uma boa arrancada e se afastou da zona da degola.

Leeds target’s value has skyrocketed 7,500% but he could cost just £2.5m

Leeds United are interested in signing a player whose market value has risen by 7,500% in the last couple of years, according to reports.

Leeds transfer rumours

Leeds United are once again preparing for another season in the Championship. The Whites spent a good chunk of 2023/24 in and around the automatic promotion places but their form at the end of the normal season saw the Yorkshire outfit slip down to 3rd in the table, with Ipswich Town taking their spot in the Premier League. Daniel Farke's side went on to reach the play-off final but fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Southampton.

Leeds looking to cash in on £7.5k-p/w star Daniel Farke doesn't want

Leeds United are open to selling a fringe player this summer.

ByJosh Barker Jun 10, 2024

Leeds' failure to secure promotion back to the Premier League is expected to have some impact on their transfer business. On the outgoing front, Wilfried Gnonto is said to be pushing to leave Leeds and wants a transfer to the Serie A. Elsewhere, there has been heavy interest in Crysencio Summerville, who has been linked with Liverpool. Finally, midfielder Archie Gray is said to be of interest to German powerhouse, Bayern Munich.

As well as potentially losing some of their key stars, Leeds are unlikely to be able to target some players they were perhaps looking at earlier this year, including Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha. Instead, their focus has seemingly been on smaller names who would not cost as much.

Barcelona star Raphinha.

Leeds are one of a number of clubs keen on a possible swoop to sign Stade Brestois attacker Karamoko Dembele. They are also believed to be interested in the services of Stuttgart winger Silas Katompa Mvumpa. Furthermore, The Whites are one of the clubs lining up a swoop to sign FC St. Pauli central defender Eric Smith as a potential replacement for Tottenham star Joe Rodon.

Leeds target player whose value has skyrocketed 7,500%

Now, another potential budget signing has been linked with a move to Elland Road. The player in question is Natan Girma, who is currently plying his trade in the Serie B with Reggiana.

Grima joined Reggiana on a free transfer from Sona in July of 2023. Despite only spending one season at his current club, the attacking midfielder has seen his market value rise 7,500% from €10,000 to €750,000. Grima made 26 league appearances across 2023/24, scoring five and assisting three as Reggiana secured an 11th-place finish.

The 22-year-old remains under contract with his current side until 2027, with the option of a further year, but reports emerging in Italy suggest a move to England could be on the cards. It is stated that Reggiana do not want to part ways with the midfielder but they could be forced to do so if the right offer came in.

On this front, offers lower than £2.5m will reportedly not be looked at. However, given his staggering market value increase in just one year, £2.5m+ still seems a serious bargain for any potentially interested club. His current trajectory looks to be one of a player on the rise, so that fee could look like a bargain in a few years.

Italian side Monza are understood to be keen on Grima but the report from Italy also mentions Leeds and Watford have been in contact with the player's camp to ask for information.

Ben Duckett, Chris Nash keep Notts' unbeaten record intact against Derbyshire

Pair’s unbroken stand of 98 brings eight-wicket win over Derbyshire, boosts Outlaws’ North Group lead

Ben Duckett plays a reverse shot•Getty Images

Nottinghamshire 143 for 2 (Duckett 57*, Nash 40*) beat Derbyshire 142 for 8 (Godleman 47, Ball 3-28) by eight wicketsAn unbroken partnership of 98 between Ben Duckett and Chris Nash helped Notts Outlaws maintain their unbeaten start to the Vitality Blast competition with an eight-wicket victory over Derbyshire Falcons at Trent Bridge.Duckett was unbeaten on 57 from only 31 deliveries and Nash hit 40 from 33 as the Outlaws strengthened their lead at the top of the North Group with their second victory over Derbyshire in five days.The visitors were restricted to 142 for 8 after being asked to bat first by home skipper Dan Christian. Billy Godleman top-scored with 47 from as many balls, while Jake Ball took 3 for 28 for the hosts.Notts romped to victory with 5.5 overs remaining, after Duckett swept Matt Critchley for his ninth boundary, to add to the one six he had hit earlier.In pursuit of just 143 Notts flew out of the traps before losing Alex Hales for 22 from only seven balls, which contained two sixes and two fours.When Joe Clarke fell to Critchley for 16 the Falcons had some hope for the first time in the evening but that was snatched away as Duckett and Nash manipulated the bowling at will.Duckett’s second 50 of the competition came from 28 deliveries and Nash, playing the 500th match of his career across all formats, struck five boundaries and a six.Earlier, the evening couldn’t have got off to a better start for the hosts, with an important breakthrough from the first ball of the contest. Wayne Madsen, promoted to open against a battery of different spin options, swept Imad Wasim into the hands of Duckett on the leg side fence.Leus du Plooy and Luis Reece each made only five as the Powerplay overs only produced 29 runs.Godleman held the middle order together but only three other players reached double figures; Critchley, Anuj Dal and Brooke Guest, who hit three boundaries in a spirited final couple of overs.The contest was a quiet affair for Samit Patel; who wasn’t required to bat but took 2 for 26 from his four overs on the evening that he reached 100 consecutive T20 appearances for the Outlaws.His current run of matches began in July 2012 and he has now featured in 186 domestic matches, six more than nearest rivals, Ryan ten Doeschate and James Hildreth.Notts had gone into the contest knowing that they had already secured their tenth quarter-final appearance in 11 seasons and can guarantee home advantage at that stage if they win either of their remaining matches, at Leicester on Friday evening or at home to Durham on Sunday.Derbyshire used nine different bowlers during the evening and remain at the foot of the table with only one victory. They close out a disappointing campaign with a weekend trip to face Yorkshire Vikings in Leeds.
