India failed to adapt to English conditions and was outplayed in all departments by England and Ireland, new skipper Shreyas Iyer said, adding that the experience would only make him a better leader.Iyer endured a disastrous start to his captaincy after taking over from Suryakumar Yadav following India’s T20 World Cup triumph, as the team suffered a 0-2 defeat to Ireland before losing the T20I series 0-4 to England after the opening game was washed out.“It’s not hard, honestly,” said Iyer when asked how he dealt with the expectations during the post-match press conference.“I feel it’s a privilege for me…
“The Opetaia fight, I have no idea what’s going on with him, but that was one that we’re up for. I’m not sure what the plan is there. I haven’t heard anything,” said Billiam-Smith to Sky Sports Boxing. “I’m not going to wait around. I want to be out again this year. Whether that’s October, November, December time, they’re the dates I’m looking at.” Billam-Smith (22-2, 14 KOs) returned to winning form in June with a seventh-round stoppage of Ryan Rozicki after an action-packed contest that saw both men exchange heavy shots from the opening bell before Rozicki’s corner halted…

The backline and midfield unit have been bolstered significantly this summer at Tottenham Hotspur, but who’s going to be the man to lead the charge through the middle? Roberto De Zerbi’s current centre-forward options leave a lot to be desired, with Dominic Solanke scoring just 12 Premier League goals in the last two seasons, while Richarlison has chipped in with just 27 since arriving in 2022. Considering that the pair joined for a combined fee north of £120m, that simply isn’t up to par, ensuring that Spurs have to get it right with regard to the next striker signing in…
