Things only got worse after the loss against the Black Caps as Stokes finally decided to end his journey in international cricket.MORE:Post-Test retirement blockbuster! Stokes leaning towards BBL moveBen Stokes reveals plan of taking up England coach's role in futureIt has been less than two months since Ben Stokes announced his international retirement.

And would I love to be coach of England one day? Absolutely. I just really like the idea of being, again, like, in some form of leadership away from playing."MORE:England's new Test captain and head coach: Joe Root and Stephen Fleming take over from Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullumA new era in English cricketWith Ben Stokes retired and Brendon McCullum relieved of his duties as England's Test coach, the much-hyped 'Bazball era' of England cricket has ended.It was one of the most talked-about styles of approaching Test cricket in recent years and it divided opinions across the world. While purists were strictly against the approach of playing quickfire knocks in the longest format, many hailed it as a revolutionary vision which would have retained the interest of the next generation of fans in the Test format.Nonetheless, the Bazball era is past now and a new era is upon English cricket with Stephen Fleming and Joe Root taking charge of the team as coach and captain, respectively.The new era kicks off later this month with England hosting Pakistan for another home Test series and their final one this summer.For all the latest cricket news, opinion, and commentary and to share your voice, head to ourFacebook,Instagram,andX (Twitter)pages.

Georgia. Notre Dame. Oregon. Fresno State?One of those is not like the others, until you realize it is.Perhaps quietly, after an ahead-of-schedule nine-win debut season in 2025, Matt Entz has Fresno State as a potential Group of Six College Football Playoff contender and presumptive challenger in the reborn Pac-12.The Bulldogs, after all, return 14 of 15 starters, depending on how you want to look at it, Entz told USA TODAY Sports.Notre Dame and Oregon tout 15 returning starters; Georgia and USC also are among Power conference teams fielding some of the sports most experienced rosters with at least 14 returners.Theres the potential for more for Fresno.I think our players are seeing that Hey, this experience is bigger than just me. I can get wherever I want from Fresno State, Entz said. Now, at the same time, we have another successful season, it's going to get harder and harder to retain some of these players because, again, there are lucrative opportunities out there. And I talk about that in recruiting.We're utilizing that to keep kids here. We're going to help you get the next contract, some way, somehow. I don't know if that's in the SEC, the Big Ten, or the NFL, but we'll figure it out as we kind of navigate this.Entz the former Football Championship Subdivision national title-winning assistant and head coach at North Dakota State also has a remarkable vision for building his Bulldogs roster for sustainability via new NCAA rules.After bringing aboard a school-record 15 freshmen as January enrollees, Entz believes the timetable for college football players to contribute is dramatically shifting and instructs his Fresno staff to lean into what the NCAA terms the age-based eligibility model and what everyone calls five-for-five.With this five-year rule, what we've started to do with this five-year eligibility piece is say, 'Hey, three years at Fresno State can set you up for the next opportunity,' Entz told USA TODAY Sports. And then you still have two years to go to Alabama or Texas. But going to the Big 12 isn't a big enough jump. You have to go to the Big Ten, SEC or NFL.With more than 20 of his former players in the NFL and Power Four transfer-starters such as Miami running back Marty Brown, a former Entz signee at North Dakota State, Entz and his staff are reshaping the contributor timetable for newcomers.All we've done is we've tried to accelerate that a little bit in our recruiting, said Entz, whose Bulldogs battered Boise State last year and won the Arizona Bowl. One of the biggest things that we're looking for, of course, they have to be the fit. They got to check all the boxes. Athleticism, toughness, football IQ, character, all those matter.But the other piece that we ask now is, 'Are you going to be able to enroll early?' Those 15 players who enrolled early now are going to have an opportunity.Entz also is embracing the vision of his athletic director, Garrett Klassy, whose previous experience includes Alabama and Houston in upper-cabinet roles.Klassys vision for Fresnos Valley Co-Op has Entz touting a quadrupled monetary investment into the Bulldogs football roster and sees Klassy linking it to the region.I needed coaches, I needed more boots on the street, for lack of a better term, because it couldn't just be myself, it couldn't just be our Bulldog Foundation staff out there, Klassy says of the program, which he relates to the San Joaquin Valleys 3 million residents and agricultural roots. And the coaches, it's really resonated with the coaches, and we do have a lot of supporters that give to multiple programs.There's two areas where we can make up ground on the rest of the league and that's philanthropic giving. And that's corporate sponsorship, and so we need to grow those immensely. And we're going to announce a record fundraising year, which is $5 million more annually than it was the previous year. Corporate sponsorships with the jersey patches are almost across the finish line; we should be up $2 to $3 million in that area. Now that doesn't make a big difference in the SEC or Big Ten, but that makes a huge difference for us.Klassy envisions the 4,300-member Valley Co-Op swelling to 7,000 across the next year.Entz, meanwhile, wants Fresno football to live up to its billing as the regions top draw.There has been an investment from an administrative standpoint, understanding that we need to have a football program that's good at Fresno State, said Entz, specifically citing Klassy and Fresno President Dr. Saul Jimenez-Sandoval. We have a ton of history and tradition.We're the biggest show in town in the Valley, and people want to see a good product on the field.This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: One Group of Six coach says 'going to the Big 12 isn't a big enough jump.'

Flynn Downes has played more than 100 times for Southampton since joining from West Ham [Getty Images]Southampton midfielder Flynn Downes says he and his team-mates have a "chip on their shoulder" that he believes will help them win the Championship this season.Saints were removed from last term's play-offs following the Spygate scandal, with the process still playing out just weeks before the start of the upcoming campaign.After head coach Tonda Eckert was last week charged by the Football Association, the club still await a verdict on how he will be punished for "bringing the game into disrepute" through his role in spying on rival clubs.However, Downes - one of Saints' key players since joining initially on loan from West Ham in 2023 and then permanently the following summer - says the club are coming into the new campaign with a point to prove on the pitch.And the 27-year-old is backing them to win the league despite beginning the season with a four-point deduction due to the spying saga."The club, players and staff have really come together," Downes told BBC Radio Solent."It's as if we have a chip on our shoulder and we want to put those wrongs right, we're going (into the season) to win the league this year."I know we're starting on minus four points but our mindset is that we're winning this league and that's it."We had the chance last year but didn't get to [achieve it] for whatever reason but we're looking strong so far."Saints have been in Germany for their pre-season training camp and have won games against Eintracht Braunschweig and Preussen Munster while over there. They get their Carabao Cup campaign under way at League Two side Colchester United on Saturday before travelling to Watford the following weekend for their league opener.During his three seasons at St Mary's, Downes has made more than 100 appearances, scoring six goals and providing four assists.Heading into his fourth campaign at the club, the midfielder says he feels in the best shape of his career."Everyone feels ready to go now," Downes added."Personally, I feel really good and, to be honest, this is probably the best I have ever felt, the gaffer's been unreal with me. "I feel like my game's developing, my football IQ's getting better and physically I'm improving too, let's see what the season holds."Latest Southampton news and analysis

Henderson now becomes the latest addition to Xabi Alonsos squad ahead of the new season.Speaking after completing the move, the former Liverpool captain said Alonsos presence played a significant role in his decision.Given the size of the club, the manager who I have great admiration for, and the quality of the players, this was a huge opportunity I couldnt turn down, Henderson said.For me, its about giving everything every single day, both on and off the field, to help the players around me and the team as much as possible. Im very excited to get going.Chelsea sign Henderson on two-year contractHenderson brings a wealth of experience to west London after an illustrious career with Liverpool, where he captained the Reds to their first Premier League title in 30 years in 2020.

He returned to the Premier League last summer with Brentford before securing his latest move to Chelsea.The midfielder, who came through Sunderlands academy, made his Premier League debut against Chelsea in November 2008. Almost 18 years later, he returns to west London as a Chelsea player, bringing leadership and top-level experience to Alonsos evolving squad.Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media:Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube |TikTok

Liverpool's massive price after Fabrizio Romano confirms talksLiverpool have set an asking price ahead of crunch talks. Fabrizio Romano confirmed things are entering the key stages this week.Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Monday that Tottenham Hotspur are pushing ahead for Cody Gakpo. The Dutchman is a surprise potential exit from Liverpool, who apparently didnt plan on selling him this summer.But Spurs are eager and a little desperate after their horrendous showing last term. Theyve already spent big to sign Marco Senesi (though, on a free), Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United.Savinho is another target from Manchester City but its Gakpo who represents their big move for a forward. Hes incredibly experienced and proven at this level, after all, and could now be Spurss Son Heung-min replacement."Tottenham plan to step up their efforts to try sign Cody Gakpo as talks will enter into key stages soon, write Romano on Twitter."Gakpo, option in addition to Savinho who remains another top target."Deal depends on Liverpool intentions/price as Gakpos not on exit list."Bet 10, Get 30 in Free BetsOpen an account and place a qualifying bet of 10 at min odds of 1/5 (1.2) or greater.18+New UK/ROI customers.

GambleAware.org30 FREECLAIM NOWNow, Anfield Watch understands that the asking price for Gakpo is set: 72m. We exclusively revealed that figure at the weekend after Spurs initial approach.Whether theyre happy to offer it is another matter and were not entirely sure how this deal gets done. For one, Liverpool probably should sell. They signed Victor Munoz this summer and hope to bring in Bradley Barcola.That creates a very, very crowded left-wing, especially with Rio Ngumoha already there. Gakpo just isnt entirely necessary if clubs are willing to pay big money for him.And so we do wonder if Liverpool accept an offer below that 72m figure. We imagine its actually just a starting point - setting the price high to meet at a more reasonable figure after talks.Fortunately, we shouldnt have to wait too much longer before finding out.
