Pakistan cricket is in crisis and Saeed Ajmal is not holding back. The former spinner, who claimed three hundred sixty two international wickets before a controversial end to his career, has taken direct aim at the PCB, saying the board has dragged the national team back ten years. When a man of that experience speaks that bluntly, the governing body needs to listen.
Across to the tennis and the US Open two thousand twenty six has already delivered its defining moment. Novak Djokovic, four-time champion and fourth seed, has been eliminated in the first round for the first time in twenty years. The Serb lost in five sets to Mariano Navone, visibly struggling with the heat, throwing up on court and breaking down in tears afterward. An era-defining exit that nobody saw coming.
And in the Champions League, there is a genuinely compelling subplot heading into Tuesday's match between Manchester City and FC Porto. Francesco Farioli, one of the most talked-about young managers in European football, takes charge in the competition for the very first time, while City could hand a debut to Brazilian winger Allan, freshly arrived from Palmeiras in one of the summer's more intriguing transfers.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
