  • Kohli AFP Able Future,” Cricket South Af- Ence at the Ageas Bowl
    Sports Wednesday, June 5, 2019 15 News in brief Roy, Archer & Ahmed fined for breaching ICC code LONDON: Jason Roy and Jofra Archer have each been fined 15 percent of their match fees for incidents during England’s World Cup defeat by Pakistan at Trent Bridge. The International Cricket Council found opener Roy had breached level one of its code of conduct, using an audible obscenity after a misfield during Pakistan’s innings. Fast bowler Archer was found guilty of dissent towards an umpire’s decision following a wide delivery. Both players have also had one demerit point added to their records. Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was fined 20 percent of his fee, and his teammates 10 percent, for a minor over-rate offence. Pakistan won Monday’s match by 14 runs after setting England a target of 349. It was an occasionally fractious encounter, with the umpires warning England skipper Eoin Morgan about his side throwing the ball in on the bounce and later issuing the same reminder to Sarfaraz. The tactic is often used to scuff up the ball and promote reverse swing. England batsman Jos Buttler appeared to take a look at the ball on his walk back to the pavilion after his knock of 103 came to an end. English crowds “stupid” to boo Warner, says manager MELBOURNE: English crowds are “stupid” to jeer David Warner at the Cricket World Cup as it will only fire him up, the Australian batsman’s manager James Erskine has said.

I believe that its efforts within society to help children and young people form part of the club’s DNA and nowadays, it is impossible to imagine the club without the Foundation and its projects and international alliances. For that reason, I would like to thank in this letter and to recognise the work done in this area during the mandate of President Sandro Rosell; for me, an example of how to focus on, also in Catalan areas, making these social projects happen. Football is a sport of the masses but above all it is a sport especially loved by children. During childhood football means something that in many cases is never recaptured during the rest of our lives. That is what many children around the world are going through at the moment all over the world; in Catalonia, in Ghana or in China, regardless of which club they follow, which continent they are in, colour or language. The Foundation has the responsibility to take this love for football to new places, especially in early childhood. This new area for us is about forming positive values, and by extension, helping social harmony and resolving conflict peacefully.
