See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil! This is the fiat issued by the Indian Badminton League (IBL) to players taking part in the August 14-31 tournament. Stung by the violent reaction of some players after being allegedly shortchanged at the IBL auction last week, the officials have sent out a stern warning, telling them not to go public with their grievances. Though officials of the Badminton Association of India (BAI) and several shuttlers denied any knowledge of the warning-letter, sources close to the latter confirmed that they have indeed received the caution....

The English top flight began Sunday just eight goals away from the milestone, but goals in Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham as well as Southampton’s game against Hull and Liverpool vs Watford saw the division edge closer to the figure. However, after Paul Pogba put Manchester United 1-0 up against Swansea City on Sunday, Ibrahimovic was able to grab the commemorative goal for his side. After Wayne Rooney collected the ball, he charged down the left flank and cut inside to find the former Sweden star, who beat a defender before smashing it into the net....

However, before placing yourself on a restricted diet that may or may not be helpful, it is important to learn more about overlaps among IBS, celiac disease, and gluten intolerance. This article discusses IBS, gluten intolerance, and other gluten-related causes of diarrhea, gas, and bloating. IBS and Gluten Intolerance Because symptoms of IBS often improve in people who try a gluten-free diet, some scientists think there is a relationship with gluten intolerance even if you aren’t diagnosed with celiac disease....

After an IPL season that was marred by spot-fixing controversy, international cricket is back, with England & Wales hosting the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, which marks the last time that the competition is being played. It will be replaced by the World Test Championship by 2017 as the game’s governing body ICC looks to have a world championship for each of its 3 formats. The tournament has, however, always craved for the attention that its illustrious cousin, the ICC World Cup receives and the arrival of World T20 in 2007 proved to be the final nail in its coffin....

Yuvraj was the only member of the squad to miss the optional training session as the rest of the 14 players turned up as usual. The context After much deliberation about India’s participation in the tournament due to disputes with the ICC, the BCCI had finally announced a 15-member squad, well past the deadline. Virat Kohli would lead a first-string team boasting the likes of MS Dhoni, Yuvraj among others....

A BCCI release stated, “The BCCI Medical Team confirms that Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh who is presently down with viral fever is making steady progress. There are no major health concerns and he is recuperating well, to the satisfaction of the medical team. He is advised rest and will miss India’s first warm-up match against New Zealand at The Oval on May 28, 2017.

The ICC has reportedly already forged a working group to lead the bid. The ICC Olympic Working Group will be led by England and Wales Cricket Board Chair Ian Watmore. He will be joined by ICC Independent Director Indra Nooyi, Chair of Zimbabwe Cricket Tavengwa Mukuhlani, ICC Associate Member Director and Vice President of the Asian Cricket Council Mahinda Vallipuram, and Chair of USA Cricket Parag Marathe. With cricket set to be a part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, it serves as a stepping stone to what the sport could possibly bring into the largest sporting event in the world....

Kamal and Srinivasan supposedly were at loggerheads on who should hand over the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy to the winners on Sunday and in the end, it was the former BCCI president who did the honours. The Bangladeshi politician, insulted after the snub, did not even attend the post-match presentation. The 67-year-old has promised to reveal some ‘mischievous things’ that are taking place within the ICC. “My rights were dishonoured....

The tournament saw some great performances which include the Man of the Tournament Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Samuel Badree, David Willey etc. and had a lot of moments to cherish. India’s last ball win over Bangladesh, Chris Gayle’s century, West Indies’ Champion celebration, Virat Kohli’s master class against Australia and Joe Root’s brilliance against South Africa are some of the best memories from this World T20. Let us take a look at the moments that stood out from the World T20....

As they gear up to face Mumbai FC on Sunday, Trinidad and Tobago striker Anthony Wolfe will be the lone foreigner to feature for The Red Machines as the other two overseas recruits - Kyrgyzstan midfielder Bektur Talgat and Mali striker A Kroma - are not yet available. REPORT: Mohun Bagan 1-0 Churchill Brothers Wolfe was the only foreigner among the three to have joined the squad’s practice sessions at Ambelim, Goa, before Churchill’s opening game....

In their third home match of the season, the red and golds finally got back to winning ways. They defeated Gokulam Kerala FC by 3-1 at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday. After three back-to-back losses, the pressure was mounting on the coach and the players. But the team showed enough potential to register their first win at home. East Bengal were dominant in the first half as they scored two goals within the first 15 minutes....

It was central defender Zohmingliana Ralte who popped up with a late header (83’) that sent them three points clear of Mohun Bagan with one game left to play in the I-League. In Aizawl, it was Mohun Bagan who started brilliantly with Darryl Duffy presented with a golden chance to take the lead. It was Sony Norde who started the move with a sensational pass that sent Duffy through but the Scotsman’s shot was saved by Albino Gomes, much to the disappointment of Sanjoy Sen....

38-year-old Indian international goalkeeper Sandip Nandy has decided to return to Kolkata to ply his trade for Mohun Bagan AC for the 2013/14 season, a year after winning the I-League for Churchill Brothers. Sandip Nandy had a strong I-League season under the bar and was one of the key players in Churchill Brothers’ I-League triumph, but he wanted to return home and Churchill Brothers couldn’t agree to his terms....

The one-off T20I against India last Sunday was Gayle’s first T20 international since the World T20 final in April 2016. He last played an ODI in March 2015 – during the World Cup – and played 9 out of the 14 games for the Royal Challengers Bangalore this season, sitting out of some games owing to injuries and some for reasons only known to the team management. With the big guns returning only for marquee matches and ICC tournaments – although that is likely to change soon – the gaping hole left in terms of cricketing endeavours does leave the cricketer with spare time....

When my son was between 5 and 7 weeks old, it really hit me. One night while burping him with a burp cloth I wondered what would happen if I smothered him with it. (Writing that down is absolutely mortifying.) I remember being stunned by the thought. I began to have even more such thoughts, and I became extremely frightened. I thought about dropping him down the stairs. Or accidentally drowning him in the bathtub....

When I see these stories, I’m horrified. But I’m not surprised. Because in them, I see echoes of my own. As a sophomore in high school working at McDonald’s, almost every day I had to contend with a maintenance worker in his 20s who regularly harassed me. “If I grabbed your butt, what would you do?” he whispered while I was taking orders during the dinner rush. “Dang baby, you look good today,” he’d greet me, blowing me kisses....

Eden Gardens also witnessed Azhar lift the Hero Cup in 1993 and tri-nation series in 1994. While there are multiple theories about what prompted him to give Sachin Tendulkar the last over against South Africa, Azhar said that it was just for the heck of being different. “My teammates told me try someone different. I thought any bowler would anyway give five runs and said if this works, it’s great and if it doesn’t, I will take the brunt....

READ MORE: Mourinho’s temper boils over on frustrating day for Man Utd The misfiring Manchester United star has conceded a league-leading 24 fouls this campaign, picking up three yellow cards. It is a trend for strikers to fall afoul of the referee in this year’s Premier League, with Troy Deeney, Callum Wilson and Vincent Janssen all high on the list. Victor Wanyama and Gareth Barry are the only non-attacking players not to feature among the top seven in fouls this season....
