After previous coaches Taj Malik, Kabir Khan, Andy Moles and Inzamam-ul-Haq steered Afghanistan’s progress so far, Lalchand Rajput could be overseeing the team’s next steps

Afghanistan’s development from a struggling team to a genuine threat to higher-ranked sides can be traced through the progressive contributions of their last few coaches. Taj Malik laid the foundations before Kabir Khan got them to think like international cricketers. Andy Moles took them to the 2015 World Cup, after which Inzamam-ul-Haq guided them to their maiden ODI and T20I series wins, over Zimbabwe.Now it is Lalchand Rajput, the former India batsman, who is taking Afghanistan further into unchartered territory. On October 1, in the third ODI, they will seek to take their next big step, by clinching their first-ever bilateral series against Bangladesh.Rajput was appointed in June this year after Inzamam left the role to take over as Pakistan’s chief selector. So far, Rajput has been able to consolidate and build on the progress made during Inzamam’s seven months as coach. Afghanistan now seem to be at least on par with Ireland, and a cut above all other Associate nations.A 2-1 series result could lead to their rise up the ODI rankings, which would be a huge confidence boost for the emerging team. Young batsman Hashmatullah Shahidi said that Rajput’s focus has been on the batting, especially on how to bat for the full 50 overs and rotate the strike.”In the last one year, Afghanistan cricket has been improving,” Shahidi said. “Before him [Rajput], Inzamam-ul-Haq did very well as our coach. Now Rajput sir is trying hard with us. He is giving us more confidence. He tells us that we are one of the best sides in the world.”He is asking us to play positive cricket against each and every team. He tells us to take everything positively. He is also working on our batting. He is teaching us how to play 50 overs, play till the end and concentrate on singles.”Shahidi said they are now focused on trying to finish their innings well, which they didn’t do in the first ODI that they lost by seven runs. They nearly repeated their mistake in the second game before managing to scrape through with a two-wicket win.”He [Rajput] told us that those who are set at the wicket should go till the end. This was our mistake in the first game. We had a good partnership but we didn’t finish the game. It will be hard for the new batsmen to come and play like set batsmen. We will try to fill that gap.”We had a good partnership and I scored runs in the first game but I should have finished the game. I will learn from my mistakes from the last two games,” said Shahidi, who made a fifty in the first ODI.He was also confident that their spinners Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan would once again have a major say in the outcome of the game, as they did in the second ODI, tying up the Bangladesh batsmen and then picking up late wickets to derail them completely.”Rashid Khan is a very good young talent. He has been successful in the last six months,” Shahidi said. “We have good spinners in the side like Mohammad Nabi, who bowled really well in the last game. They will, , do very well in the last game for us.”Steady batting and the spinners’ well-planned spells will be Afghanistan’s advantage in the third ODI. If they do end up beating Bangladesh, it would be a major milestone in their cricket history, and Rajput would be lauded for his contribution, much like his predecessors Malik, Khan, Moles and Inzamam.

John Stanworth made his name at Lancashire over the course of two decades•Getty Images
John Stanworth, the former director of Lancashire’s cricket academy, has become the latest recruit to the ECB’s restructured England Women’s Pathway.Stanworth, who spent three decades at Lancashire as a player, first-team coach and ultimately the county’s first academy director, has taken up the post of head coach of the England Women’s Senior Academy.For this winter, 19 players have been selected from 13 different counties for the Senior Academy programme, which will utilise the National Cricket Performance Centre at Loughborough to improve the experience, performance and conditioning of promising talent. Stanworth will sit on the senior management team alongside the head coach Mark Robinson, who himself joined the England women’s set-up from Sussex in November 2015.Although he left Lancashire under something of a cloud last year, following the appointment of Ashley Giles as director of cricket, Stanworth earned huge respect for his role at the club, and is credited with overseeing the development of several young members of the current first-team squad, including England’s opener-in-waiting, Haseeb Hameed.In a separate appointment to the women’s set-up, Salliann Briggs has recruited to lead the Academy programme for emerging talent, which is also based at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough. A further 17 players, representing 10 different counties, have been selected for the Academy, which means that the talent for the three international programmes is drawn from a total of 17 counties.”The pinnacle for any talented, aspiring young cricketer is to play and win matches for England, and through the England Women’s Pathway we believe that we are developing a structure to support their journey,” said Clare Connor, England’s director of women’s cricket.”The introduction of the six new Regional Development Centres aligned to the Kia Super League structure helps us to significantly broaden the talent pool that we are working with at the base of the pathway, and without any age constraints, we can take a broader and extended view of a young player’s potential.”From there, the England Women’s Academy and England Women’s Senior Academy are in place to help bridge the gap to international cricket, developing players with the skills needed on and off the field to perform for England.”In Salliann Briggs and John Stanworth we have two superb Head Coaches for these programmes. John brings a wealth of experience in developing high potential players from his role as Lancashire CCC Academy Director for over ten years, and I am delighted to welcome him to this new role.”
Aston Villa are rivalling Tottenham in showing an interest in Galatasaray attacker Nicolo Zaniolo this summer, according to a new report from Italy.
Is Zaniolo on the move this summer?
The 23-year-old has has a curious career to date, in many ways, with horrendous bad luck with injuries coming his way and limiting his progress hugely. He has had a string of fitness issues down the years, including a cruciate ligament rupture, but he is still battling hard to reach his potential.
Zaniolo is currently plying his trade at Galatasarary, having joined from Roma in the January transfer window, and he has shone there, scoring five goals in 10 Turkish Super Lig appearances.
While the Italian signed a deal with the Turkish giants until the summer of 2027, a potential move to the Premier League in the upcoming window is being mooted.
That's where Villa come into play, as they look to do some massive business between now and the start of the season, in what feels like one of the most pivotal summers at the club in years.
Could Villa seal signing of Zaniolo?
According to TuttoJuve [via Sport Witness], Zaniolo is going to be "one of the key players" in the summer transfer window, when it comes to potential outgoings. Juventus are interested in making a move for him, but Villa and Spurs are also believed to be in the mix.
He has a "bigger offer on the table" from an English club, compared to Juve, and the Villans reportedly "dream of signing him" in the coming weeks and months. The £76,000-a-week winger has a €35m (£29.9m) release clause in his Galatasaray contract, so it's a case of whether clubs want to trigger it or not.
Zaniolo could be a really exciting signing by Villa this summer, having racked up 11 caps for Italy to date, scoring twice along the way. A tally of 24 goals and 18 assists for Roma also shows that he can shine in one of Europe's top leagues, and while there would be concerns about his injury problems down the years, the hope is that he is now beyond those woes.
At 23, he is still such a young player who could develop into even more of a force – Claudio Ranieri has hailed him as "decisive" – and Villa signing him would feel like a big statement of intent, as they prepare to play in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season.
With the departure of Kai Havertz to Arsenal all but confirmed and Manchester United continuously courting Mason Mount, a massive gap has appeared in Chelsea’s squad for a new attacking midfielder.
Chelsea are in the hunt for an inventive, prolific, and young playmaker, as Celta Vigo’s Gabri Veiga ticks all those boxes.
What’s the latest on Gabri Veiga to Chelsea?
According to Florian Plettenberg, the 21-year-old is “ready for the next step” in his career and talks have been initiated with Chelsea.
The tweet also details that the Spaniard has a release clause €40m (£34m) which is active this summer, so a player of this quality available for such a modest fee would be a huge coup for the Blues.
It was previously reported by the Guardian that Pochettino is “prioritising additions in midfield” and this aim will only be augmented given the outgoings at Stamford Bridge.
Why do Chelsea want Gabri Veiga?
The attacker enjoyed a phenomenal breakout season in his homeland, registering 15 goal contributions in 36 La Liga outings throughout 2022/23.
The youngster finished the season in style – with this boyhood side needing a victory on the final day to avoid relegation, he netted twice to sweep aside title-winning Barcelona.
Across the year, no one in Spain’s top-flight outperformed their expected goals (xG) more than the prodigy, whilst his commendable four goals from outside the box were also the highest in the division.
His magnificent rise to international prominence means that the sensation is set to play a starring role at the U21 European Championship this summer.
Indeed, Veiga’s been named by The Athletic as one of the players to watch at the tournament.
The joyous technician has produced incredible numbers this term as he ranks in the top 12% for successful take-ons per 90, touches in the attacking penalty area per 90, non-penalty goals per 90, and total shots per 90.
His direct effervescence, coupled with a keen eye for goal and sparkling creativity means he has been likened to Eberechi Eze via FBref. That should no doubt be an attractive proposition with the Eagles star sparkling bright towards the climax of last season, winning an England call-up in the process.
Eberechi Eze
Described as “amazing” by Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig, Veiga has performed very similarly to Eze for goal involvements (15 vs 14), shots on target (29 vs 25), shot-creating actions per 90 (3.14 vs 4.03), and average shot distance in yards (19.8 vs 21.9).
This shows that while they are crafty providers for their teammates, they also harbour their own ruthless ambitions to find the net.
Both talents have evolved as the chief creators for their respective sides and irreplaceable figures within offensive sequences.
If the West London outfit secured this signing, it would be an excellent way to replace Havertz and Mount.
The series might be decided but New Zealand will not want to spoil their unbeaten record at home against Bangladesh, while the visitors will be desperate to prevent a clean sweep
The Preview by Mohammad Isam30-Dec-2016Match factsDecember 31, 2016 Start time 1100 local (2200 GMT)Big PictureNeither team will be treating the third and final ODI as a dead rubber. Despite clinching the series with a 67-run win in the second game, New Zealand wouldn’t want to spoil their unbeaten record at home against Bangladesh. By bringing offspinner Jeetan Patel into the squad for the third ODI, they showed they are being far from complacent. Bangladesh, meanwhile, will be desperate to win and end the year in a reasonable mood, given how they were outperformed in the first two games.Patel has taken 129 List-A wickets at 25.29, for Warwickshire and Wellington, since his last ODI in 2009. On the sluggish Nelson pitch, he should be a handful for the Bangladesh left-hand batsmen, who have already struggled against the part-time offspin of Kane Williamson.New Zealand will be without Trent Boult, who took two wickets in the second game, but they would bank on Tim Southee and the rest of the bowlers to bring home a series whitewash. But, given the slower conditions, there will be demands placed on their batsmen, who haven’t fully delivered. Hundreds from Tom Latham and Neil Broom made sure that they didn’t lose their way completely in the first two games, but their runs also papered over the cracks in the batting line-up.Bangladesh meanwhile have to synchronise their batting and bowling efforts, which made contributions separately in the first two games. While the batting sparkled in bits in the first game chasing 342, it completely disintegrated in the second chasing 252. Their bowling did a fine job in the second match, with the captain Mashrafe Mortaza leading the way, bouncing back after conceding 341 in the first.If they can deliver in all three departments in the final game, Bangladesh should threaten New Zealand. If one of these fail again, the home side will comfortably win 3-0.Form guideNew Zealand WWLLL (last five completed matches, most recent first) Bangladesh: LLLWL Jeetan Patel played his last ODI in 2009, but has been a force on the county circuit of late•Getty Images
In the spotlightMashrafe Mortaza was Bangladesh’s most successful bowler in the second ODI, helping his side bowl out New Zealand for 251. He has lost a lot of pace over the years, but his wrist work on the ball has been his strength. They’ll want more of the same from him in this final ODI of 2016.New Zealand would want Neil Broom to once again play the anchor role, after his unbeaten, maiden hundred in the second game gave them a fighting total. Perhaps, with one more big score, Broom could stake a claim in the T20 side.Teams newsJeetan Patel could replace Trent Boult, who is going to be rested for the third ODI. They will still find it difficult to find space for Colin de Grandhomme in the XI, as the likes of James Neesham, Colin Munro and Lockie Ferguson have performed well.New Zealand (probable) 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Tom Latham, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Neil Broom, 5 James Neesham, 6 Colin Munro, 7 Luke Ronchi (wk), 8 Jeetan Patel, 9 Mitchell Santner, 10 Tim Southee, 11 Lockie FergusonThere may not be changes to the pace bowling line-up for Bangladesh, but given their performance in the first two ODIs, Mehedi Hasan could replace debutant Tanbir Hayder. It might look like a rash decision to drop someone after just one game, but it is a possibility.Bangladesh (probable) 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Mahmudullah, 4 Shakib Al Hasan, 5 Sabbir Rahman, 6 Mosaddek Hossain, 7 Nurul Hasan (wk), 8 Tanbir Hayder, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 10 Subashis Roy, 11 Taskin AhmedPitch and conditionsThe Saxton Oval pitches are rather un-New Zealand-like in their nature, offering very little lateral movement for the fast bowlers but aiding spinners with their slowness. We could expect more of the same on Saturday.A few, scattered showers are forecast.Stats and trivia New Zealand’s 251 was their lowest score batting first against Bangladesh in ODIs at home – they had made more than 330 on the three other occasions Neil Broom’s ODI hundred came seven years and 354 days after his debut, but that still isn’t the longest time taken by a New Zealander to score a maiden ODI ton. The record is held by John Wright, who took nine years and 244 daysQuotes”It is disappointing to lose after such a good start. Maybe the boys will have a tough time bouncing back from such a situation. But I think we should still take it positively, that we did well in these conditions. The players should think about creating a similar opportunity in the third ODI since we have come here after a long time.” “A series win is nice. We have had different types of victories. That shows the side can win in different conditions and scenarios.”
The summer transfer window officially opened for business earlier this month and Aston Villa have made one signing ahead of the 2023/24 campaign so far.
Youri Tielemans is set to join on a free transfer from Leicester City and Unai Emery could be looking to make further additions to his side to make the most of the lure of European football.
A seventh-placed Premier League finish last season ensured that the club will be playing Europa Conference League football next term and they must use that to their advantage to tempt top-quality players into making the switch to Villa Park.
Juventus attacker Federico Chiesa is a reported €60m (£51m) transfer target for the Villans this summer and Emery could land a big upgrade on Emi Buendia by securing the Italy international's services in the coming weeks.
What is Federico Chiesa's style of play?
Since arriving at the club from Norwich for £38m in 2021, Buendia has struggled to provide consistent quality in the final third. The Argentine scored four goals and provided six assists in 35 Premier League matches in his first campaign with Villa before his return of five goals and two assists in 38 outings in 22/23.
He has produced 0.07 assists per 90 over the last 365 days in the Men's Big Five Leagues which places him among the bottom 13% of his positional peers in those competitions.
Juventus winger Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa, on the other hand, has recorded 0.42 assists per 90 for Juventus in the Men's Big Five Leagues and European competitions over the last 365 days, ranking the Italian dynamo in the top 4% of players in his position.
This suggests that the 25-year-old could offer more creativity from an attacking midfield or wide position than Buendia, as he has provided his teammates with assists far more frequently than the Villa magician.
The Old Lady wizard's form in the Serie A prior to his ACL injury also indicates that the potential is there for him to be a greater goal threat than the former Canaries star.
Chiesa, who former teammate Gianluigi Buffon once lauded as "impossible to stop", averaged a Sofascore rating of 7.19 and chipped in with nine goals and nine assists in 33 league outings in 20/21, showing that the £153k-per-week hotshot has the quality to make telling contributions in the final third with regularity.
No Villans midfielder managed more than six goals or seven league assists last term while Buendia has not averaged a Sofascore rating higher than 6.95 in the Premier League since joining the club.
Douglas Luiz (7.10) was also the only player in the squad with a Sofascore rating higher than 6.99, meaning that Chiesa could come in as one of the top performers on the roster if he can recapture his previous form.
This, therefore, suggests that Emery would be improving his attacking options in the middle of the park by convincing the Italian marksman to sign for his team.
