SPORTS.YAHOO.COMAjinkya Rahane on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi: 'IPL and international cricket are completely different'Former India batter Ajinkya Rahane has urged everyone to be patient with young opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, saying it is too early to predict his future in Test cricket. Rahane said the teenager should be allowed to grow, adding that the Indian Premier League and international cricket are "completely different."The 15-year-old Sooryavanshi had a mixed start to his international career. After struggling on his debut tour of England, he bounced back strongly in the T20I series against Zimbabwe, where he finished as the Player of the Series.Speaking on the Stick to Cricket podcast, Rahane said: "It's tough to say or comment on right now. I don't want to say anything and put pressure on that young kid because people are already talking a lot about him. It's just two IPL seasons.""What I've realised is that IPL and international cricket are completely different. The pressure when you represent your country is enormous. Chasing 70 runs in the IPL in four or five overs is easy. Chasing the same number of runs in international cricket is different. So, let him just play his game, let him just grow," he said.Sooryavanshi earned his maiden India call-up after a brilliant IPL 2026 season.Although he was selected for the Ireland and England tours, he did not feature in Ireland. He eventually made his debut in England after Sanju Samson's poor run with the bat.The left-handed batter struggled in his first taste of international cricket, scoring 14, 13 and 15 in three T20Is before losing his place for the final match of the series.Zimbabwe series changes the storySooryavanshi quickly bounced back from the disappointment of the England tour with a match-winning display against Zimbabwe.He began the three-match T20I series with a half-century, scored 20 in the second game and then blasted 81 off 49 balls in the final match. India completed a 3-0 clean sweep, while the youngster finished with 151 runs at an average of 50.33 to win the Player of the Series award.0 Comments 0 Shares 32 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMTottenham defender Djed Spence open to joining LiverpoolTottenham defender Djed Spence open to joining LiverpoolTottenham Hotspur right-back Djed Spence is reportedly open to joining Liverpool.Spence is not guaranteed a starting berth at Spurs next season, with Pedro Porro considered the clubs first-choice right-back.The 25-year-old is also unlikely to start at left-back following the signing of Andy Robertson.Liverpool struggled at right-back last season, with Jeremie Frimpong failing to impress and Conor Bradley missing a significant spell through a knee injury.Bradley is injury-prone, while it remains to be seen whether Frimpong will recover his best form next season.Liverpool are now considering a move for Spence to strengthen their right-back position. The Spurs defender can also play at left-back, adding to his appeal.Tottenham would listen to offers of at least 35 million for the England international.Spence featured regularly for the north London side last season, making 44 appearances across competitions.He was named in the Three Lions squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He featured eight times and provided one assist at the tournament.Liverpool should not make a move for the Spurs ace as he is not a significant upgrade on Frimpong and Bradley, although he had a better fitness record than the pair last term.With the Reds also short of centre-backs, they are better served targeting a player capable of playing as a central defender and right-back.Aston Villas Ezri Konsa would be a better fit. His ability to play at both centre-back and right-back would provide Liverpool with greater tactical flexibility while also strengthening their defence. Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with Konsa, who Villa value at around 60 million.Stats from Transfermarkt0 Comments 0 Shares 33 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMLiverpool duo told they wont get any game time, they have to exit AnfieldLiverpool duo told they wont get any game time, they have to exit AnfieldLiverpool now have less than a month left of the 2026-27 summer transfer window. Fans were expecting there to be plenty of noticeable change by now but, only Victor Munoz has been brought in so far.And, even though the rumour mill is going into overdrive, it's still unclear which players are actually going to be brought in this summer.Bradley Barcola and Ibrahima Mbaye are the two who seem to be the most likely to join at the moment but, for these moves to make financial sense, some players are obviously going to have to exit.And now, two of the Reds' players seem destined to make the move away from Anfield.Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa are going to 'struggle' for game time if they stay at LiverpoolLiverpool are massively lacking depth among their first-team squad at the moment.Among other things, injuries are really crippling the Reds with some of their best players such as Hugo Ekitike and Conor Bradley not expected to return until at least the New Year.Despite this, since the Reds are a sell to buy club, some members of their team are going to have to be moved on if Liverpool want to make all the transfers that they need to.Many of Iraola's men have been rumoured to be on their way out of Anfield and now, as per a fresh update from The Athletic, it seems like two Liverpool players have been told to pack their bags."There are the curious cases of Harvey Elliott and Federico Chiesa," they wrote."Both say theyre happy at the club, but unless Andoni Iraola sees something others have missed, theyre likely going to struggle for game time and may need to move on to further their careers."Liverpool can't afford to lose both Federico Chiesa and Harvey ElliottAt the moment, Liverpool need to sign players, rather than get rid of them.Their squad depth is at an all-time low and, with how unlucky they were with injuries last season, it feels like the same could happen again.Indeed, several members of their squad are now back to full fitness but, with Joe Gomez, Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni, Jeremy Jacquet and Bradley all side-lined, there are barely any players for Iraola to choose from.Both Chiesa and Elliott have said that they're happy to stay and, since their new manager is treating every player as if they're a new signing, they'll both have the opportunity to prove their worth.However, since Slot barely played Chiesa and sent Elliott away, it's unclear whether it'll actually end up working out for them or not.Unless Liverpool have some decent deals lined up or know that some of their youth players can fill the voids that Chiesa and Elliott leave behind, it doesn't feel like they can really afford to lose either of them.That is, especially since no new signings aside from Barcola and Mbaye are lined up.0 Comments 0 Shares 32 Views 0 Reviews
