Jaiswal to move from Mumbai to Goa for 2025-26 domestic season

ESPNcricinfo has learned that it was Goa Cricket Association which approached the India opener

Nagraj Gollapudi02-Apr-2025Yashasvi Jaiswal has switched states and will move from Mumbai to Goa for the 2025-26 domestic season. It is learned that the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) found it “surprising” when Jaiswal wrote to them about the transfer but issued a no-objection certificate (NOC) immediately.Goa Cricket Association (GCA) secretary Shambu Desai confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that it was GCA which approached the India opener, who is counted among the best players in both international cricket as well as IPL where he plays for Rajasthan Royals. “We are developing a good squad for Goa and want to get the best talent available and hence we approached him (Jaiswal) recently,” Desai said.Jaiswal, 23, has represented Mumbai since his Under-19 days and is one of the most sought-after players from the younger crop. He made his first-class debut for Mumbai in 2019 and has since played ten first-class games for them, scoring 863 runs at an impressive average of 53.93, which includes four centuries, two fifties and a highest score of 181 against Uttar Pradesh in 2022.In the 2021-22 season, he had smashed hundreds in three successive innings in Mumbai’s run to the final, where they lost to Madhya Pradesh. He has also scored 1296 runs across 25 List A games for Mumbai at an average of 58.90, along with 648 runs in 28 T20s at a strike rate of 136.42.Jaiswal last played for Mumbai against Jammu and Kashmir in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season where he managed scores of 4 and 26. He was due to play in Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy semi-final against Vidarbha in February, but was ruled out after injuring his right ankle during training ahead of the game. Jaiswal follows in the footsteps of Siddesh Lad and Arjun Tendulkar, both of whom made a switch from Mumbai to Goa during their careers.Jaiswal made his India debut in July 2023 against West Indies where he thrashed 171 in his maiden innings and also added 209 against England the following year. While Jaiswal is a regular feature in India’s Test and T20I squads, he has only played a solitary ODI so far. More recently, he was excluded from India’s Champions Trophy squad but was part of the list of non-travelling substitutes.The 23-year-old is currently playing in the IPL where he is part of the RR side. He’s had a tough start to the tournament managing scores of 1, 29 and 4 in the three innings. RR next play Punjab Kings in an away fixture in Mullanpur on April 5.Goa won the Ranji Trophy Plate League in 2024-25, topping the table with five wins out of five, and beating Nagaland in the final.

Arteta has a "gifted" barely-seen Arsenal gem who's "similar" to Gascoigne

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is blessed to have an array of exciting talents coming through the Hale End academy right now.

Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman and Myles Lewis-Skelly are making waves at N5 right now, with the latter rewarded for his Arsenal form by England boss Thomas Tuchel as he eyes a place in the Three Lions’ 2026 World Cup squad.

Despite being just 18-years-old, Lewis-Skelly burst on to the scene last season and fought his way into becoming one of Arteta’s first-choice left-backs with Riccardo Calafiori, thereby pushing established Premier League defender Oleksandr Zinchenko down the pecking order as a result.

Nwaneri, meanwhile, became the youngest Premier League player in history after making his debut in a 3-0 win over Brentford in 2022, with the sky appearing to be the limit for him.

Since then, the 18-year-old has racked up nine goals and two assists from 40 senior appearances under Arteta, and Arsenal initially hesitated over a deal for Eberechi Eze due to their desire for Nwaneri to be given more minutes this season (talkSPORT).

Nwaneri signed a new five-year contract at Arsenal in August, keeping him at the club until 2030, but the teenage talent now has another academy sensation to contend with for a place in the first-team.

That man is, of course, Dowman.

The 15-year-old became Arsenal’s second-youngest ever Premier League player behind Nwaneri after coming on in their 5-0 win over Leeds United last month, winning a penalty for summer signing Viktor Gyokeres to smash home.

Understandably, there is a lot of excitement around Dowman right now, and club legend Paul Merson insists he is just a “freak” for his age.

Still barely seen in the first team with just 27 minutes of competitive senior football to his name, former Arsenal keeper Graham Stack has now told Standard Sport that Dowman already reminds him of an England legend.

Arsenal teenager Max Dowman likened to Paul Gascoigne

Stack believes that Dowman has similarities with Paul Gascoigne, with the pundit hailing Arsenal’s “gifted” new teenager when speaking ahead of A Night To Remember.

While this bold statement continues to pile on lofty praise for Arsenal’s latest starlet, it is important not to put too much pressure on Dowman at this very early stage of his career.

The attacking midfielder has displayed real signs of promise, but the GCSE schoolboy is still at a preliminary stage of his development and needs time to grow before being thrust into the limelight so intensely.

That being said, there is still reason to be excited about Dowman, and Arsenal’s work with young players behind-the-scenes is continuing to pay dividends.

Jonny Bairstow: 'I'd be stupid not to push for England recall'

Jonny Bairstow says it would be stupid not to push for an England return this summer and is targeting big runs for Yorkshire in a bid to end his international exile.Thursday will mark exactly nine months since Bairstow’s last appearance in an England shirt, during the T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to India. That summer began with his axing outright from the Test side as part of a revamp of the red-ball side following a 4-1 tour of India, in which Bairstow earned his 100th cap in the fifth and final Test at Dharamshala.Since then, England have overlooked Bairstow when opportunities have arisen for a wicketkeeper-batter.While Jamie Smith started the 2024 Test season with the gloves, his absence from the New Zealand tour for the birth of his first child saw Essex’s Jordan Cox brought into the squad. When Cox broke his thumb ahead of the first Test, Durham’s Ollie Robinson was drafted in as a replacement, with Ollie Pope keeping for the series.Smith was also installed behind the stumps for the Champions Trophy, replacing Phil Salt across the limited-overs formats. Salt himself had taken on the role when former white-ball captain Jos Buttler opted to give up keeping.Bairstow’s situation is especially complicated because he remains on an ECB central contract, which is only set to expire this October. Speaking at Headingley during Yorkshire’s pre-season media day, the 35-year-old refused to address whether he had received any clarity from head coach Brendon McCullum or men’s managing director Rob Key but is adamant a return is not out of the question.”Yes, because I’m still contracted,” Bairstow said, when asked if a recall was still realistic. “I’d be stupid not to. The whole purpose of everything is to try and play for England, and that will be the challenge for the whole group. Everyone wants to go on and do that.”As an ‘exile’ and someone who hasn’t played for however long, it’s something that of course you want to get back to. And that comes by scoring runs.”[It’s] Not my fault I got given a two-year contract, just to stay at the periphery. I was in at Yorkshire doing everything I can pre-season-wise, I went on pre-seaon with Yorkshire, starting the summer with Yorkshire, putting my best foot forward for the guys in the dressing room and seeing what the best for us as a group is. That bit is completely out of my control.”It’s not my choice. I can load the gun, but I won’t be the one pulling the trigger. We’ll wait and see on that.”Bairstow was integral to a remarkable 2022 summer that launched the Bazball project under McCullum and newly installed Test captain Ben Stokes. His four centuries in five innings, which included twin hundreds against India at Headingley, drove a philosophy of unwavering positivity with the bat.It was a hot streak that was only curtailed by a devastating broken leg, which subsequently kept Bairstow out until the 2023 season, when he returned for the Ashes. As well as ruling him out of the final Test that summer against South Africa, and tours of Pakistan and New Zealand, he missed the opportunity to pick up a second global title as England triumphed in 2022’s T20 World Cup. Previously he had been integral to 2019’s 50-over success as one of the most dominant ODI openers in the format’s history.Having been told he was left out due to a run of low scores, Bairstow believes he has the capacity to change that opinion. And with India touring for five Tests this summer, and an Ashes to follow in the winter, he feels his record against both opponents should hold him in good stead. Particularly with a hundred on each of his last two tours of Australia.”It was just mentioned around form, really,” he said of the initial conversation following his axing. “That’s obviously subjective, people’s opinions and what have you – and that’s fine.”This is obviously a big summer with India, then Australia coming up. My numbers against those two teams, especially in England and Australia, have been good on the last couple of tours to Australia. The last time India toured here, I was not too bad. We’ll wait and see what happens.”First and foremost my job is to concentrate on Yorkshire, and making sure we get off to a good start to the year. I’ll let the rest take of itself.”Bairstow will begin the season for Yorkshire following the club’s promotion to Division One, with Joe Root and Harry Brook set to play some part in the first six rounds of the Championship ahead of the summer’s opening Test against Zimbabwe on May 22.Earlier this week, reported Bairstow will be handed Yorkshire’s red-ball captaincy, filling the vacancy left by Shan Masood, who took on the role for two years before moving to Leicestershire.Conversations between Bairstow and the club around the captaincy have been ongoing since last summer. His potential participation in the IPL, and then PSL, are understood to be the reason why Yorkshire have delayed confirming his appointment, with the season due to start next week. Bairstow’s late father, David, captained the county between 1984 and 1986.

Wolves now submit opening bid to sign "excellent" £30m British midfielder

Things are looking up for Wolverhampton Wanderers. With deadline day approaching, they look set to keep hold of Jorgen Strand Larsen and have now reportedly set their sights on a new midfield target.

Wolves' late transfer plans

Despite already signing Fer Lopez, Ladislav Krejci, Jhon Arias, Jackson Tchatchoua and David Miller Wolfe this summer, Wolves are still reportedly eyeing a late spending spree. With Fabio Silva on his way to Borussia Dortmund, there’s suddenly space in Vitor Pereira’s side for another attacking reinforcement and, as such, Tolu Arokodare has emerged as a serious option.

Whether Newcastle United’s decision to pursue Nick Woltemade instead of Strand Larsen changes the urgency of those in the Midlands is the question that needs answering, but reports have always indicated that Arokodare is seen as a replacement for Silva and not for the Norwegian.

In an ideal world, by the time the deadline passes, Wolves will have two very talented strikers at their disposal and ready to fire Pereira’s side to Premier League safety.

Wolves now eyeing late move to sign another "superb" striker with Arokodare

The Midlands club could be forced to replace Strand Larsen.

ByTom Cunningham Aug 28, 2025

The manager recently had his say on Strand Larsen and will be among those relieved that Newcastle decided to look elsewhere. He told reporters following Wolves’ 3-2 Carabao Cup win against West Ham United in midweek: “If it’s my decision, of course [Strand-Larsen stays]. Of course. Because he’s a very important player. It’s not only about the technical and tactical, it’s about the character. He’s a player with character.”

Meanwhile, it’s not just the striker department that could receive a major boost before the end of the transfer window. Reports are now suggesting that Wolves are eyeing a last-gasp midfield move.

Wolves submit Hackney offer

According to Football League World, Wolves have now submitted a bid worth £30m to sign Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough. The Championship star has been linked with a move away from the club all summer long, with interest from Ipswich Town and Wolves’ rivals, West Bromwich Albion emerging.

Now, it could be Wolves who secure his signature in what would be a deserved move. The 23-year-old has enjoyed an impressive rise at Boro and, in truth, has had the quality to step into the Premier League for at least two seasons. Compared to both Andre and Joao Gomes, it’s clear that Hackney would push all the way for a starting place at Molineux.

Described as “excellent” earlier this season by manager Rob Edwards, Hackeny has simply picked up where he left off in the last campaign. The midfield star is an incredibly talented ball progressor and combines that ability with his knack for winning possession back for his side – two traits that could make all the difference for Wolves in their bid to survive.

سلوت يتحدث عن عودة ثلاثي ليفربول إلى ألمانيا.. ويؤكد: الفوز هدفنا دائمًا

تحدث الهولندي آرني سلوت، المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ليفربول عن إصابة لاعبه قبل مواجهة آينتراخت فرانكفورت ضمن منافسات دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ويواجه ليفربول نظيره آينتراخت فرانكفورت في إطار منافسات الجولة الثالثة من مرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا غدًا الأربعاء، الموافق 22 من شهر أكتوبر الجاري.

ومن المقرر أن يحل ليفربول ضيفًا على الفريق الألماني مساء الأربعاء المقبل في تمام الساعة العاشرة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة ومكة المكرمة.

وكان ليفربول قد خسر بثنائية مقابل هدف، أمام مانشستر يونايتد في المباراة التي جمعتهما ضمن منافسات الجولة الثامنة من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “بريميرليج”.

ولمدة 4 مباريات متتالية، لم يعرف ليفربول طعم الفوز أو حتى التعادل إذ خسرهم جميعًا في جميع المسابقات، 3 منهم في الدوري الإنجليزي أمام كريستال بالاس وتشيلسي ومانشستر يونايتد، وواحدة في دوري أبطال أوروبا أمام جالطة سراي.

وقال سلوت، في تصريحات نقلها الموقع الرسمي لناديه: “يمكنني ذكر بعض الأسباب الأخرى لأهمية تحقيق نتيجة إيجابية غدًا أيضًا ولكن في كل مرة نلعب فيها مباراة بقميص ليفربول يكون الهدف هو الفوز بتلك المباراة الكروية”.

وأكمل: “الآن نلعب خارج أرضنا ضد فرانكفورت وهو ملعب يُشبه إلى حد ما ملعب جالطة سراي حيث ستكون الجماهير حماسية للغاية، لذلك إلى جانب جودة فرانكفورت، يجب أن نأخذ هذا الأمر في الاعتبار أيضًا لكن لاعبينا معتادون على اللعب في مثل هذه الظروف، إنه تحدي كما هو الحال دائمًا في دوري أبطال أوروبا”.

وأضاف: “كما قلت قبل مباراة يونايتد، لا يهم إن فزنا أو خسرنا مباراة كرة قدم، إن كنت تلعب مع ليفربول سيكون الفوز هو هدفك دائمًا، إن كنت ترتدي هذا القميص، ستكون مطالبًا بتحقيق الفوز في كل مباراة، نريد أن نرى ليفربول يفوز مجددًا، لكن الأمر لا يختلف عندما تخسر 4 مباريات متتالية أو تفوز بـ 4 مباريات متتالية، هذا ما هو متوقع منك إن كنت تلعب مع ليفربول”.

وأردف عن مواجهة فرانكفورت: “نعم، بالتأكيد لا أعتقد أنهم شاركوا بانتظام في دوري أبطال أوروبا لكن الموسم الماضي شاركوا في الدوري الأوروبي ووصلوا إلى مرحلة متقدمة من البطولة، أتذكر أنهم لعبوا ضد توتنهام وكانت مباراة متكافئة للغاية لمدة 180 دقيقة وربما أطول، هذا يدل على أنه فريق جيد، فريق قوي، وقد حقق أداءً رائعًا في الدوري الألماني والأوروبي”.

وعن هوجو إيكتيكي ومواجهة فريقه القديم: “أعتقد أنه أمر مميز له ولكل لاعب بأن يعود إلى ناديه السابق خاصةً إذا كان أداءه جيدًا ولكن حتى لو لم يكن أداءك جيدًا فمن الجيد دائمًا رؤية الأشخاص الذين عملت معهم مرة أخرى”.

واستطرد: “قدم إيكتيكي أداءً جيدًا لدرجة أنني أعتقد أنه ليس فقط يحب العودة إلى هناك بل أعتقد أن الجماهير هناك تحب رؤيته أيضًا لما قدمه للنادي لأنه كان جزءً من الفريق الذي قادهم إلى دوري أبطال أوروبا، إنه أمر خاص بالنسبة له، خاص أيضًا لفلوريان بالعودة إلى ألمانيا واللعب هناك، خاص أيضًا لجيريمي فريمبونج لأنه كان أيضًا مثل فلوريان ومثل هوجو، ناجحًا جدًا في ألمانيا، بالنسبة لهم الثلاثة من الجيد اللعب في ألمانيا مرة أخرى”.

وعن سياسة التدوير في التشكيل كشف: ” لدينا العديد من اللاعبين الجيدين ويمكنني الاستعانة بهم جميعًا، إذا لعبنا 3 مباريات في 7 أيام، فقد يكون من الحكمة الاستعانة بهم جميعًا أيضًا، لهذا السبب ولأننا كنا متأخرين بهدف أجرينا 3 تبديلات بعد 55 دقيقة ضد يونايتد”.

وأتم: “سنستخدم الكثير من اللاعبين غدًا كما سنفعل يوم السبت، نقوم بتدوير محدد ومقتصر لكن “التدوير” قد يبدو أيضًا كما لو أننا جيدون بما يكفي لإشراك عدد قليل من اللاعبين الأقل جودة، لا، لا، لا لدينا أكثر من 11 لاعبًا يمكنهم بدء مباراة كرة قدم ولهذا السبب فعلنا ذلك عدة مرات حتى الآن، وقد نفعل ذلك غدًا أيضًا”.

Celtic have struck gold on "machine" who's worth more than Idah & Chermiti

Celtic hero Chris Sutton put it best when summarising the situation surrounding Adam Idah at Parkhead – “a total mess”.

A surprise late approach from Swansea City looked to have spelt the end for the Irishman’s time in Glasgow, only for the Hoops to hold fire amid the wait to acquire a replacement for manager Brendan Rodgers.

Heading into deadline day, the former Norwich City man ultimately sealed his bumper £7m switch to South Wales, bringing an end to a mixed 18-month stint in Scottish football.

Having been stung by the failure to replace Kyogo Furuhashi in January, the Celtic hierarchy had thankfully learned their lesson, with a successor to Idah already lined up months in advance.

Oh no, wait, that’s not what happened, is it? Instead, in the dying embers of the window, the Scottish champions were left scouring the free transfer market, even considering an approach for an injury-prone Patrick Bamford amid his recent Leeds exit.

As it proved, Rodgers got out the phonebook to reunite with Kelechi Iheanacho, having enjoyed a fruitful partnership with the Nigerian at Leicester City.

As for Idah, while the manner of his exit – and the search to replace him – represented a ‘total mess’, were Rodgers and co actually right to sell him?

Why Celtic had to sell Adam Idah

The caveat to this, of course, is as explained above. The Premiership giants should only have sanctioned a sale if a suitable replacement had already been lined up.

Adam Idah in pre-season for Celtic.

That being said, a £7m fee for a player of his ilk was undoubtedly too good to turn down, with Celtic only taking a slight hit on their initial £9m investment.

In truth, that was a fee that should never have been dished out in the first place, with the Hoops gambling on a player who had scored just 17 goals – yes 17 – in 116 games in all competitions during his time at Norwich City.

Of course, the 24-year-old’s return of nine goals in 19 games during his initial loan spell in 2024 – which included that Scottish Cup final clincher – was reason for encouragement, although the subsequent burden of a £9m fee, and the No.9 shirt, appeared to weigh too heavy.

Yes, there were high points, including his brace at Villa Park and the 20 goals in all competitions last term, yet his overall record of 29 goals in 76 games makes for disappointing reading – as too does his 19 big chances missed in the Premiership in 2024/25, as per Sofascore.

Failure to score in the early knockings of the new campaign, alongside his shoot-out miss away at Kairat, appeared to pave the way for his departure, with Celtic left to reflect on an expensive gamble that simply didn’t pay off.

At Ibrox, meanwhile, Rangers could well have secured their own Idah figure with the eye-watering £10m capture of Everton’s Youssef Chermiti, while Celtic may have to rely on a familiar face to deliver the goods this season.

How Daizen Maeda's value compares to Idah and Chermiti

If the £9m dished out on Idah raised eyebrows, then the £10m that the Gers have forked out for Chermiti appears even more headscratching, not least considering that the Portuguese striker has failed to score a single senior goal during his time with the Toffees.

As Celtic have seen in the case of the ex-Norwich man, splashing the cash on a player doesn’t always lead to success on the field, with the club’s best work having come when plucking a bargain from the market.

Matt O’Riley’s £1.5m acquisition is a perfect case in point, as too is the £1.6m fee that was forked out to make Daizen Maeda’s initial loan move a permanent deal, with few deals having proven quite so fruitful.

Market Movers

It hasn’t always been plain sailing for the Japanese speedster – having been guilty of his own spot-kick miss last month – but boy has he been effective during his three-and-a-half-year stay in Glasgow.

There are few better sights in football than the 27-year-old breathing down the neck of a defender with his relentless pace, having proven himself to be a physical “machine” in recent years, in the words of his former coach at Yokohama F Marinos, John Hutchinson.

A unique talent in European football, let alone Scotland, Maeda has more than warranted his growing cult hero status at Parkhead, having taken his game to even greater heights last season.

While an at-times profligate figure in his early Celtic days, having notably missed three big chances across just six Champions League group games in 2022/23, the ex-Yokohama man is now Rodgers’ go-to man.

Indeed, 2024/25 yielded a ridiculous tally of 33 goals and 12 assists in all competitions, including four goals during the club’s encouraging European run.

While only a solitary goal has followed this time around, the value of Maeda to Rodgers and to Celtic is immense. Indeed, according to Transfermarkt, he is now worth as much as €15m (£13m).

Daizen Maeda

That not only eclipses the recent fees dished out for his fellow forwards Idah and Chermiti, but also the pair’s actual market values, deemed to be in the region of €6.5m (£5.5m) and €8m (£7m), respectively.

There will be much debate at Parkhead over who will take on Idah’s mantle as the starting striker, be it Iheanacho, Johnny Kenny or Shin Yamada, but in reality, if this season is to be a success, then it will be Maeda who is central to it.

'This is a f*cking disgrace' – Gerard Pique's could be in hot water over furious tirade at referee after club owned by ex-Barcelona defender lost league clash

FC Andorra owner Gerard Pique has been added to the official match report after calling a referee “a f*cking disgrace” following a 2-1 defeat to Leganes. The incident, part of a string of recent controversies, underscores mounting tensions within the club as they navigate disciplinary scrutiny and a challenging La Liga Hypermotion season.

  • Andorra’s defeat marred by controversial referee decisions

    Andorra’s strong start to the Segunda Division season came to a halt last Saturday in a 2-1 loss to Leganes. Early second-half goals from Duk and Naim Garcia gave the visitors the advantage, while Gael Alonso’s strike proved too little, too late. The match, however, attracted more attention for what happened off the pitch. According to the referee’s official report, multiple incidents broke out involving Andorra staff and owner Pique. The club, owned by the former Barcelona defender, has repeatedly found itself in the headlines for disciplinary issues this season, and Saturday’s events have added to the scrutiny.

    Pique’s furious post-match confrontation reported

    Referee Saul Ais Reig documented the incidents in detail. The club’s performance analyst, Julian Ezequiel Pedernera Escurti, approached the assistant referee post-match, telling them: “You’re all shameless.” Moments later, Pique himself reportedly knocked on the referees’ dressing room door and said: “This is a f*cking disgrace. Go ahead and include it in your report if you want.”

  • FC Andorra’s disciplinary track record

    This is not an isolated occurrence. Just a week prior, the club was fined €15,000 after serious incidents in a match against Mirandes. Pique, alongside general manager Jaume Nogues and first-team director Carles Manso, was involved. While two individuals received sanctions, Pique could not be sanctioned due to Article 3 of the RFEF Disciplinary Code, which exempts club owners from disciplinary action.

  • Wider implications for La Liga Hypermotion

    The former World Cup winner's outburst and the club’s ongoing disciplinary issues have wider consequences. They could influence how referees handle matches involving Andorra in the future and affect the perception of the club among fans and rival teams. For La Liga 2, where margins are fine and competition is fierce, repeated controversies could invite closer scrutiny from league authorities.
