Nasim Ashraf, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, will not be in the country for the ICC task force’s visit to assess the security situation in the three venues hosting the Champions Trophy in September. The task force is scheduled to visit Pakistan between August 10 and 12 but Ashraf is in the USA and has had to extend his stay because of a minor surgery.”The chairman [Ashraf] has undergone minor surgery and will return home within a week or so,” Mansur Sohail, PCB’s media chief, told the . “He will have to miss the visit of the task force because of it.”The development added to speculation over Ashraf’s future as PCB chairman. Ashraf is a ally of PCB patron Pervez Musharraf, the Pakistan president who is facing a possible impeachment.The task force was scheduled to arrive in Islamabad on August 10. Sohail said the delegation would meet senior Interior Ministry officials in Islamabad on Monday and arrive in Karachi on Tuesday to meet the city’s chief of police.The delegation will be led by David Morgan, the ICC president, and will include Sharad Pawar (vice-president), Haroon Lorgat (CEO), IS Bindra (principal advisor), Tim May, the chief executive of the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations, representatives of ESPN-Star (the broadcasters of the event) and the board’s security consultants.The task force was constituted after a teleconference among top ICC officials on July 24, when it was decided that the Champions Trophy would go ahead in Pakistan as scheduled despite security concerns. The decision was met with reservations from the players’ associations from Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand, who warned of player boycotts.

Everton goalkeeper Joao Virginia is close to joining Sporting Lisbon on an initial loan deal with an option to buy, according to Portuguese media outlet Record (via Sport Witness).

The lowdown

The Liverpool Echo reported last week that the Toffees had sanctioned a loan move for the 21-year-old, who has been attracting interest from the Championship and from abroad.

Virginia played three games for Everton last season, making his Premier League debut against Burnley in March when Jordan Pickford was forced off with an injury. He kept his place for the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester City and helped the Blues keep the eventual Premier League champions at bay for 84 minutes.

Everton under-23 boss David Unsworth has lavished the ‘keeper with praise, describing him as ‘unbelievable’.

The latest

Record claimed (via Sport Witness) that negotiations between Everton and defending Primeira Liga champions Sporting are now ‘very advanced’ and that an agreement should be reached this week.

The Lisbon club will then be able to decide whether they want to sign Virginia permanently at the end of his loan spell.

The verdict

Virginia remains well down the pecking order at Goodison Park. He may have sensed an opportunity when Robin Olsen returned to Roma following his Merseyside loan spell, but the signing of Asmir Begovic means that the youngster’s first team prospects are very limited.

If there is an option to buy, what kind of fee should Everton propose? Virginia is only 21 years old and will still have two years left on his contract come the end of the season, so somewhere around the £2m mark would probably be reasonable.

Raqibul Hasan, the Bangladesh batsman, has been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series against Australia after fracturing his right thumb

Cricinfo staff31-Aug-2008Raqibul Hasan, the Bangladesh batsman, has been ruled out of the ongoing ODI series against Australia after fracturing his right thumb. Raqibul sustained the injury when he gloved a catch off the seamer Brett Geeves in Bangladesh’s humiliating 180-run defeat on Saturday.An X-ray taken on Saturday afternoon had revealed a comminuted fracture. Raqibul was examined on Monday by an orthopaedic surgeon who concluded that surgery wasn’t required but said the thumb would have to be placed in a splint for four to six weeks. Raqibul will stay in Australia and return to Bangladesh with the rest of the team on September 7.The team was already hit by the injury to the batsman Nazimuddin, who flew home after injuring his left ring finger before the first warm-up match at the Gardens Oval in Darwin.

Former Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Mark Crossley insists he is confused by links with Portsmouth striker Ellis Harrison.

The News has reported that Wednesday are interested in a deal to snaffle Harrison away from Pompey in this transfer window, although no fee is attached.

Portsmouth paid £425,000 to sign the striker but he has not exactly been prolific during his time at Fratton Park.

Indeed, in 71 games, the 27-year-old has scored just 16 goals for the club, netting just four times in the league last term.

As a result, Crossley is doubtful about the potential deal, insisting that Wednesday have enough up front at this stage, having brought in both Florian Kamberi and Lee Gregory this summer.

Speaking exclusively to The Transfer Tavern, the ex-goalkeeper said: “Yeah, it’s a strange one for me. I think if you look at Kamberi, who no one knew too much about, but I liked what I saw on Saturday.

“I think Darren Moore is maybe looking at that and going ‘yeah, I like what I’ve seen, maybe a striker is not my main priority’. I’d like to think it’s just a rumour, to be honest.”

Wednesday have been in fine form throughout the start of the League One season and have yet to lose, drawing with Charlton Athletic and beating both Doncaster and Fleetwood Town.

De forma inédita para sua torcida, o Paysandu vai disponibilizar dois modelos de copos colecionáveis na final da Copa Verde, nesta terça-feira, às 20h, no Estádio Mangueirão, diante do Luverdense. A equipe de Belém busca o bicampeonato consecutivo, mas para isso precisa reverter a vantagem do time de Lucas de Rio Verde, que na primeira final venceu por 3 a 1.

O primeiro copo será comemorativo pela conquista do bicampeonato estadual paraense, já o segundo modelo será sobre a final da Copa Verde. Os copos de 500 mililitros serão vendidos exclusivamente no Mangueirão durante o jogo por R$ 10 cada, em parceria com a empresa Aquele Copo.

Segundo Gil Portela, gestor comercial do clube e responsável pela iniciativa, a utilização dos copos evitará que mais de cem mil copos descartáveis sejam utilizados, diminuindo o impacto ambiental.

Sheffield United have been dealt a blow in their bid to bring Robin Olsen to Bramall Lane this summer.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by Italian media outlet Calciomercato, who claim that the AS Roma goalkeeper is stalling over a potential move to the Blades, in the hope that a Premier League side firm up their interest in his services.

It had previously been reported that Slavisa Jokanovic’s side had identified the 31-year-old shot-stopper as their number one candidate to replace the recently departed Aaron Ramsdale, and were locked in discussions with the Sweden international – whom Jose Mourinho is believed to be open to parting with this summer.

Jokanovic will be livid

With it being all well and good that Oslen is stalling over his potential move to Bramall Lane due to his desire to play Premier League football, the goalkeeper’s indecision will nevertheless have left Jokanovic livid.

Indeed, with time running out for the 53-year-old to bring in a new first-choice ‘keeper in the summer transfer window, should a top-flight side indeed chose to make a move for the Roma man in the coming days, it would leave the Serbian with very little time to source another player in the position.

Furthermore, Olsen would very much appear to be a fantastic signing for a Championship club to make, as the 31-year-old highly impressed for both Everton and Sweden last season.

Indeed, over his seven Premier League appearances for the Toffees last term, the £2.7m-rated man kept two clean sheets, as well as conceding an average of just 1.3 goals and making three saves per game.

These returns saw the player Alexander Isak dubbed an “incredible” talent earn an average SofaScore match rating of 6.87, ranking him as the Toffees’ 12th-best performer in the league.

This fine form continued while on international duty, with the £14k-per-week shot-stopper conceding just four goals and keeping two clean sheets over his four appearances at Euro 2020 – with these metrics seeing the ‘keeper earn a highly impressive average SofaScore match rating of 7.05.

As such, while losing Ramsalde will have undoubtedly come as a blow for Jokanovic, if the Blades boss were to replace the youngster with Olsen this summer, it would certainly soften the hit – although, whether or not the Roma man ends up in Sheffield appears rather uncertain at present.
