MARADONA WAS ON FISHING TRIP ARGEN'TINE soccer superstar Diego Maradona, who has failed to report back to the Italian Napoli club, was on a fishing trip in northern Argentina, the official news agency, Telam, said on Monday. Telam said Maradona was in Esquina, a Parana river town where his parents were born in the province of Corrientes, 800 kilometres north of Buenos Aires: The 28-year-old captain of Argentina's world champion team was origi­ nally expected in Naples on August 3, but later Napoli extended his holiday to August 16. Maradona, the highest paid athlete in Italy, has twice cancelled bookings for flights from Buenos Aires to Europe in the past six days. FIRST DIVISION OUTFIT RANGERS Fe It was reported in yesterday's edition of The Namibian that Napoli RANGERS sent shock waves through Namibian soccer in the run of the Mainstay Cup by giving the planned to report Maradona to a disciplinary committee which could impose tournament's favourites and hometown neighbours, Benfica, a Mainstay treatment.

TO ENGLAND SQUAD PHIL Defreitas, the cricket 're~l' who changed his mind, has been rewarded with a late call to England's squad for the sixth and fmal test NAMIBIAN against Australia which begins tomorrow. Defreitas was recalled on Monday after pace bowler Devon Malcolm withdrew because of a muscle injury in his back. The Leicestershire paceman appeared set for a five-year ban from inter­ national cricket after agreeing three weeks ago to join Mike Gatting' s rebel CRICKET ENTERS tour to South Africa. But a week later he and batsman Roland Butcher pulled out of the rebel squad after becoming particular targets of criticism from fellow black sportsmen for planning to break the international boycott of the apartheid state. NEW ERA Defreitas played in the opening test of the six-match series which Australia lead 4-0 with one match drawn.
