Pace bowler Brydon Carse has been removed from England's squad for the second Test against Pakistan  This is amid an ongoing investigation into an incident that led to him being briefly arrested. Author | Andy Hopkins Carse was part of the England squad for the first Test against Pakistan, which the hosts won by an innings inside three days at Headingley. After being left out of the starting XI, Carse was released to play for Durham against Derbyshire, with the Division Two leaders securing victory on Saturday evening. After the win, Carse was filmed in handcuffs outside a bar in Derby.

An iconic stadium won't be hosting a Test match in next year's Ashes Headingley is joining Old Trafford in not hosting England v Australia  Author | Michael Handsworth Ben Stokes has joined Joe Root in questioning the choice of venues for next summer’s Ashes, describing it as “shambolic” that Headingley will not stage a Test. Root, who preceded and later succeeded Stokes as England captain, said “it would be nice to have a choice” over the grounds at which his side play, with Yorkshire set to miss out on Test cricket until 2029. England’s emphatic victory over Pakistan was their seventh successive win in Leeds, extending their longest active winning run at any ground in world cricket. Yet they will not return to Headingley for a men’s Test for another three years, meaning they will be denied the opportunity to use their remarkable record at the ground during next summer’s home Ashes series. The England captain wants to become more of a legend For Root, the innings victory over ...

Author | George B Trump wants Infantino to stay. [image or embed] — European Super Football ( @eurosuperfootball.bsky.social ) 11 August 2026 at 07:02 Trump's backing followed Uefa, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation issuing an open letter accusing Infantino of breaking trust "through deception" with his aborted Fifa Forward Enterprise (FFE) proposal.

Another fantastic spidey film Spider-Man: Brand New Day takes Peter Parker to a darker place after No Way Home Author | Greg S Spider-Man: No Way Home ended on a bleak note, with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) asking Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to erase him from everyone’s memory in an effort to protect the multiverse. The spell saves the day, but it also wipes Peter from the lives of those closest to him, including his girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon). Brand New Day picks up with an increasingly isolated Peter throwing himself into his work while secretly keeping tabs on MJ and Ned through social media as they spend four years at MIT.
