In a dramatic turn of events, the Cricket West Indies (CWI) board elections have been adjourned till April 11 after representatives from the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) and the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) failed to show up for the virtual annual general meeting. CWI subsequently said that the AGM had to be postponed as per the constitution due to the “lack of a quorum”.For quorum, at least nine out of 12 voters had to be present, but with the GCB and BCA representatives not showing up, the CWI had to call off the election. In a media release on Sunday, CWI said representatives from the rest of the four territorial boards – the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA), Leeward Islands Cricket Board (LICB), Trinidad & Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB), Windwards Islands Cricket Board (WICB) – were present.”The meeting therefore could not proceed to business as the CWI Articles of Association stipulate that nine (9) representatives of the Full Members need to be present in person to constitute a quorum,” the CWI statement said. “Despite having previously authorized their representatives to attend, when the roll was called there were no representatives present from the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) nor the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA).”Related

The Articles of Association provide that if there is no quorum within 30 minutes from the time appointed for the meeting (in this case, 10am Eastern Caribbean time), it shall stand adjourned to the next business day or to such other time and place as the Board of Directors may determine, and that at the adjourned meeting no other business may be transacted.Attempts to reach the representatives from the BCA and GCB were unsuccessful, with the meeting eventually getting adjourned at 10.50am.Sunday’s elections were meant to elect the president and the vice-president with two candidates in fray. Incumbent Ricky Skerritt and his deputy Kishore Shallow were contesting for a second two-year term against the pair of Anand Sanasie and Calvin Hope. Incidentally, Sanasie is the GCB secretary while Hope is the BCA vice-president, and both boards had nominated the pair for the CWI board elections.ESPNcricinfo understands that both Sanasie and Hope were not present at the AGM but later Hope attended the emergency CWI meeting where the decision to postpone the elections was taken. It is understood that Hope opposed the new date of the elections, too, but was outvoted. Each of the six territorial boards have two votes each, which can be cast by two representatives nominated by each of these boards.Both Skerrit and Shallow were nominated by the TTCB and the LICB. The pair also had support of WICB, where Shallow is board president.As per the CWI constitution, the voting process is normally a show of hands unless any of the board members wants a secret ballot. It is understood that the CWI corporate secretary had created an electronic version of a ballot, as this was the first time the elections were being held virtually. In 2019, Skerritt had defeated Dave Cameron, who had been the president for six years, through a secret ballot with an 8-4 margin.Why did Sanasie and Hope not turn up?
Skerritt and Shallow received a boost on Sunday when, along with the TTCB and the WICB, the JCA’s vice-president Donovan Bennett said that his board would be backing the pair. Incidentally, in the 2019 election the JCA had nominated Cameron.According to Bennett, the JCA’s choice to back Skerritt was “unanimous” as he was impressive during his presentation of his manifesto recently. “When he made his presentation to the [JCA] board, we were surprised as to what he had achieved, it was a lot more than what we had expected taking into consideration the amount of time he had and restrictions that had impeded a lot of stuff that he wanted to do and so based on that, we thought that he deserved another term in office,” Bennett told the .The fate of the CWI elections carried a lot of importance for Sanasie because the GCB polls were also scheduled for March 29. However, it could not be confirmed if that was the key reason for the no-show.

Everton fell to a disappointing 3-0 defeat in their opening Premier League game against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, with thousands of empty seats visible before the final whistle.

The Toffees, who are entering their final season at Goodison Park, failed to create any clear-cut opportunities, only registering a single effort on target during the entire encounter.

Sean Dyche’s side have already strengthened their attacking unit this summer, signing the likes of Iliman Ndiaye and Jesper Lindstrom, but the duo weren’t included from the start, with the lack of threat in front of goal evident for large parts in the defeat.

With less than two weeks remaining in the transfer market, the club may need to conduct more business if they are to improve their attacking output, helping them pull further clear of any looming relegation threat this season.

The club are making inroads to sign one talent who’s been on their radar all summer long, boosting their chances of ending the torrid luck in front of goal.

Everton preparing move for attacker

According to Football Insider, Everton are preparing a loan move to sign Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah before the transfer deadline on August 30th.

The 25-year-old, who has constantly been linked with a move to Merseyside this summer, looks set to leave the Emirates in a bid to gain more regular first-team minutes.

He’s also been subject to interest from Marseille and Bournemouth, but after the pair opted to sign alternative targets, the Toffees could have a free run at a move to sign the striker.

It’s unclear whether Mikel Arteta’s side would be prepared to allow the Englishman to depart North London on a temporary basis before the end of the window, but it would be a move that would dramatically improve Dyche’s options in the final third.

Why Nketiah would be better than Calvert-Lewin

Despite the flurry of transfer activity at Everton this summer, striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin still remains the club’s number-one option at the top end of the pitch.

However, he produced a disappointing opening display of the new season yesterday, failing to register a single shot whilst also losing possession six times despite only managing 20 touches in his 76-minute display.

However, he’s been subject to interest from Manchester United and Newcastle United this summer, with his future still up in the air – potentially still leaving Goodison before the end of the window.

It wouldn’t be the end of the world if the Toffees let the 27-year-old leave the club, with Nketiah posting numerous figures last season that blow the current Everton man out of the water.

The “remarkable” Arsenal ace, as described by journalist James Olley, may have registered fewer combined goals and assists last campaign, but managed a higher ratio of contributions per 90 after featuring for fewer minutes in 2023/24.

Nketiah also managed a better goal per shot-on-target rate than his fellow countryman, showcasing that he’s a more clinical option in front of goal than the target man – handing Dyche with a greater chance of rectifying their abysmal goalscoring record.

The club are in desperate need of a new talisman after their dismal record in front of goal, as demonstrated during yesterday’s defeat.

Nketiah would be an excellent option for the club, helping the Toffees produce more frequent opportunities in front of goal, and providing an upgrade on Calvert-Lewin in the process.

O duelo entre Grêmio e Palmeiras deste domingo reuniu em campo três dos maiores artilheiros do clube paulista neste século: Dudu, Raphael Veiga e Diego Souza. Este último, no entanto, defendendo as cores da camisa tricolor. E dois deles deixaram suas marcas na partida. Diego abriu o placar para os gaúchos com apenas 12 minutos de jogo, mas Veiga conseguiu virar ainda no 1º tempo, estufando as redes duas vezes. Breno, já no fim, decretou o 3 a 1.

Curiosamente, com os dois gols deste fim de semana, o meia palmeirense superou o hoje centroavante gremista no ranking. O camisa 23 chegou à marca de 40 bolas na rede e se tornou o 5º maior goleador do clube desde 2001, ultrapassando, além de Diego Souza, o ex-atacante Kléber Gladiador.

Revelado pelo Coritiba, Raphael Veiga chegou ao Palmeiras em 2017, aos 22 anos de idade, ano em que marcou somente uma vez em 20 confrontos. Na temporada seguinte acabou emprestado ao Athletico Paranaense, onde se destacou. De volta ao Alviverde em 2019, se consolidou no elenco como um dos principais jogadores da equipe nos últimos anos.

Cricket New South Wales has announced a significant restructuring after an extensive review

Jodie Hawkins, the general manager of Sydney Sixers, has exited Cricket New South Wales (CNSW) as part of a restructure that removes the positions of club general managers, despite overseeing the Sixers to victories in each of the past two men’s tournaments.In measures shared with staff this week, the chief executive Lee Germon outlined the restructure approved by the NSW board and its chairman John Knox, and the fact that Hawkins would leave the organisation after declining an alternative role, understood to be in communications. The general manager of the Sydney Thunder, Chris Botherway, will stay on after accepting another job with NSW as general manager of customer experience. Hawkins declined to comment.Germon told ESPNcricinfo that the state would be hiring two new independent list managers to oversee recruitment for the Sixers and the Thunder and report into the heads of men’s and women’s cricket Michael Klinger and Leah Poulton. He insisted that NSW had not shut the door on female leadership within the organisation, even though the new four-person executive team directly reporting to Germon is all-male.”Both Jodie and Chris were offered roles here. Chris has gone into a new role, Jodie has decided to leave us, and I totally respect that decision,” Germon said. “Jodie has been here for every BBL over 10 years and I think whoever does end up getting Jodie is going to be very well off, because she’s a leader who’s been developing through our organisation.”We’ve got some very good female leaders coming through. If people say there’s no-one in those roles, look at Leah Poulton as head of female cricket, a role below the executive level. We’ve got the boss in charge of the people side, Bernadette Chehine, some wonderful leaders coming through. We’ve just appointed three of our best up and coming female coaches and given them internships, Sarah Aley, Hannah Trethewy and Lisa Griffith.Germon on CNSW organisation review

“It’s important I make it clear this has been an 18 to 24 month process. It started with a review of our cricket performance and it was all based on us wanting to be world class and that led to a few changes.

“The structure is less important than how we work together. So we’re going down from eight departments to four squads, and teams within those squads working together to achieve what we want to.

“This is not based on saving money, saving costs, this is done from a position of strength to really catapult us forward in terms of how we deliver cricket. It’s certainly not in response to any certain activity or action or event, it’s something that’s been going for a while and its vision is that we want to be a world leading organisation, not just a cricket one.

“We are very cognisant of developing leaders throughout our organisation and very cognisant of developing female leaders because we want that diversity of thought. We spoke to Jodie about another role here and I think she’s made the right decision to really spread her wings and move on because she has been here for a while. But I would say we want to keep developing our female leaders.”A new NSW executive team reporting directly to Germon comprises Chris Muldoon as head of strategy, governance and insights, Greg Mail as head of cricket performance, Michael Dalton as chief financial officer and a new hire, Anton Brown, as head of customer experience. Brown’s past experience included a long stint with Virgin Active.The organisational changes have raised eyebrows across Australian cricket, particularly after Cricket Victoria’s multiple BBL restructure attempts since the boards and chief executives of the Melbourne Stars and Renegades were dispensed with in 2019. CV recently elected to a return to a structure where two club general managers would report directly to the state’s chief executive, Andrew Ingleton.Germon underlined the fact that the state had concluded, as the result of an 18-month organisational review, that the commercial and “customer facing” areas of the BBL clubs needed to work more closely together, likening them to the two competing drivers within the same Formula One team. This, he argued, was already happening in terms of player recruitment.”I think the BBL GM role has evolved, certainly within CNSW over those four years. Last year our cricket performance team, as part of the performance review, had much greater contribution alongside the GMs around the playing lists and the players,” Germon said. “Ultimately the final sign-off of players contracted sat with our cricket performance team and not with the GMs of the BBL clubs.”They’re competing with one another on the field, but they’re not competing off the field. Both clubs are part of CNSW and that’s the essence of this redesign. Our commercial team joined with the two BBL teams last year, our commercial team sells for both clubs off the field. But on the field absolutely we need that competitive rivalry and tension. I liken it to the Formula One scenario.”While the Sixers men’s side has claimed each of the past two BBL titles, the women’s team has faded from an early dominance of the WBBL to a failure even to make the tournament finals of the most recent edition. Sydney Thunder won this season’s WBBL title.”The on-field performance of the Sixers women didn’t come into the restructure, but having said that, there’s been a thorough review of the Thunder and Sixers WBBL campaigns and that’s where Leah has driven that review and the way forward,” Germon said. “The performance of the WBBL or BBL sides on the field, yes we’re cognisant of it, but this is driven by maximising the off-field benefits of the two clubs.”We need the respective list managers in place because that’s important to the autonomy of the clubs and the competitiveness which we’re well aware of, and also the integrity nature of it.”

Newcastle United have made contact with Chelsea as they eye potential alternatives to Marc Guehi, according to a new report.

The Magpies have had to be very careful in this summer transfer window as the club adheres to the financial fair play rules. That has meant that while the club has brought in several new players, they have also had to move players on.

Newcastle have so far brought in five new players, one of whom is Lewis Hall, who was at the club last season on loan from Chelsea and has now joined the Magpies on a permanent basis. Other transfers the club has completed have seen them bring in John Ruddy and Odysseas Vlachodimos to bolster their goalkeeping options, and they have also added William Osula to their attack and Lloyd Kelly to their defence.

But while there is over a week left of this transfer window, Eddie Howe and co remain keen on improving their squad, with England and Crystal Palace defender Guehi a top target for the club.

The Magpies are said to have made four bids for the defender already this summer, with their latest bid being around the £65 million mark. The latest was that the fourth bid was still not enough for Crystal Palace, and the South London side rejected the offer. That most recent bid was inclusive of add-ons, but the structure of the deal has yet to be agreed upon with Palace.

Guehi had an excellent summer, as the centre-back stepped up to the plate as England was without Harry Maguire for Euro 2024, and Guehi performed at a level that made him one of England’s best players. The defender is said to be Howe’s number one target for centre-back, but Newcastle could now be looking at alternative options.

Newcastle turn to Chelsea for Axel Disasi

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Newcastle have stepped up conversations about signing alternative centre-backs to Guehi, with Chelsea’s Axel Disasi of interest to the club.

The update states that the Magpies haven’t given up on signing Guehi, but with Palace wanting around £70 million, the club has started plans to look at other options. The Premier League side is said to have expressed an interest in Disasi and by extension making contact with Chelsea, with the player only moving to Stamford Bridge last summer.

Disasi joined Chelsea from AS Monaco, and the centre-back has gone on to make 44 appearances for the club in all competitions, 31 of which came in the league. He missed Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the USA this summer as he continues his recovery from a hernia operation.

The Frenchman is contracted to Chelsea until the summer of 2029, and the 26-year-old is said to be on a weekly wage of £80,000. As well as looking at Disasi, the Magpies have also sounded out Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba, who is said to be being looked at by several clubs from around Europe this summer.
