Somerset have confirmed the return of Migael Pretorius as one of their overseas players for 2026. The South African allrounder will available for the full season across formats.Pretorius has played for Somerset since 2024, making five fifties to go with 58 wickets in 21 appearances. Last season, he featured eight times in the County Championship, as well as both games on Blast Finals Day as Somerset lifted the trophy for the second time in three years.”From the moment he arrived in 2024, Migael wholeheartedly bought into the culture of the club,” Somerset’s director of cricket, Andy Hurry, said. “During his two previous spells with the club, he has shown that he has the ability to impact games with the bat, with the ball and in the field, and he will once again add valuable depth and experience to the squad.”Related

Pretorius, 30, has been named in various squads by South Africa but is yet to win an international cap. Overall, he has taken 230 first-class wickets at 27.50, to go with 61 in List A and 100 in T20 cricket.”I’ve really enjoyed playing for Somerset over the last two years,” Pretorius said. “From day one I was made to feel at home and it’s a pretty special place to play. To be part of the team that won the Blast was incredible and hopefully we can emulate and even exceed that success in 2026.”
da pinup bet： O São Paulo fez acordo com o Santos para jogar na Vila Belmiro no dia 8 de novembro, contra o RB Bragantino. Sem o Morumbi — que fechará para receber shows nos dias 10, 12 e 13 — o Tricolor tinha acordo para utilizar o Allianz Parque, do Palmeiras, mas desconsiderou o trato para a ocasião.
da bet vitoria： + Siga o Lance! no WhatsApp e acompanhe em tempo real as principais notícias do esporte
Os principais pontos considerados pelo clube paulista foram o gramado sintético da casa do rival alviverde e a proximidade do confronto com o próprio Peixe, que será na Vila. O clássico San-São acontece no dia 12 de novembro, e o São Paulo quer se acostumar ao ambiente. Vale destacar que o Tricolor ainda não venceu jogos fora de casa pelo Brasileirão e amarga a pior marca como visitante da história do torneio.
MELOU O ACORDO?
O São Paulo utilizou o Allianz Parque em uma oportunidade, nas quartas de final do Paulistão, quando foi eliminado pelo Água Santa. O acordo entre os rivais previa a ‘troca’ dos estádios quando as equipes não pudessem utilizar os seus próprios. O Palmeiras atuou no Morumbi contra Santos e Cerro Porteño (PAR).
Ainda que o acordo não tenha melado oficialmente, o Tricolor desconsiderou a possibilidade de atuar na ‘casa verde’. A diretoria são-paulina tem receio do gramado artificial, onde diversos jogadores do time acabaram tendo lesões.
O próprio Palmeiras também não voltou a mandar partidas no Morumbi. O clube não terá o Allianz Parque em praticamente toda reta final do Brasileirão, e sua casa será a Arena Barueri, estádio que deve ser administrado por uma das empresas de Leila Pereira, presidente alviverde.
ARENA BARUERI?
Enquanto o Pacaembu ainda passa por reformas, a Arena Barueri serviu como ‘coringa’ dos times paulistas. Porém, em setembro deste ano, a Crefipar venceu licitação para administrar o local. A dona da empresa é a presidente do Palmeiras, Leila Pereira.
Com isso, quando não puder utilizar o Allianz Parque, o Verdão passou a ter o local como segunda casa. Apesar das portas não estarem fechadas para outros clubes, no momento não há tratativas para equipes profissionais masculinas além do Alviverde usarem a Arena Barueri. O São Paulo, por exemplo, não cogitou atuar no estádio.

Liverpool turned a corner at the weekend, professionally defeating West Ham United at the London Stadium to arrest the shocking slump that has sent Arne Slot’s project into a spin.
However, it’s important for those of a Red persuasion not to get too excited. West Ham are hardly in good form, teetering on the edge of the Premier League relegation zone.
But there were some positives to be taken after that industrious win. Particularly, Liverpool looked sharp in attack, with Alexander Isak netting his first league goal for the Reds and Cody Gakpo notching a goal and an assist. Florian Wirtz sparkled in his creative role.
There has been talk of FSG and sporting director Richard Hughes dipping into the transfer market for a new forward in January, but if anything, the win over the Hammers and Liverpool’s abject form highlight a different area that needs attention.
Liverpool's winter transfer plans
It’s clear that Liverpool need a centre-back. Top sources have also linked the Premier League champions to prolific Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, who has a £65m release clause valid from January.
However, the centre of the park appears to have been overlooked. Certainly, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch have not formed a convincing partnership this season, and a tough-tackling and dynamic option could be worthwhile for a Liverpool side looking to bounce back.
As per Caught Offside, Liverpool are expected to table a €60m (£53m at current exchange rates) bid for Real Madrid midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, with the French midfielder no longer considered untouchable at the Santiago Bernabeu.
It’s understood that Los Blancos have held informal discussions about the 23-year-old’s future after an injury-affected few years, but Camavinga is one of the best in the business, and Liverpool could hit the jackpot by signing him for a comparatively affordable fee.
Why Liverpool want Eduardo Camavinga
Camavinga has been at Real Madrid for most of his professional career, having left France and Rennes and joined the Spanish giants in a €40m (£34m) package back in 2021.
He’s won the full gamut, and, on an individual level, been hailed by talent scout Jacek Kulig as “a real war machine in midfield”. One of the sternest criticisms Slot’s side have faced pertains to their lack of physicality and bite in midfield this season, outduelled in most of their defeats – and there have been a whole host of losses.
Camavinga would fix that, settling into the six berth. As per FBref, he ranks among the top 12% of positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for pass completion, the top 12% for successful take-ons, and the top 1% for tackles won per 90, emphasising his ball-playing quality and the gritty defensive acumen that would stabilise Slot’s sinking system.
Looking at those metrics – and more – in a different format, see how Camavinga could add more defensive solidity to the engine room when assessing his data against that of Mac Allister, whose form has plummeted this season.

But those metrics are taking across a year-long stretch, and the Argentine was among the creme-de-la-creme last year as Slot’s Reds romped their way to the title.
Semenyo might be a stellar addition to a Liverpool side who opted against a direct Luis Diaz replacement this summer, but Gakpo has held down the fort measurably well, and Rio Ngumoha, 17, was entrusted with a regular first-team role after an impressive emergence season.
Real Madrid are in a state of upheaval right now, and signing a player of Camavinga’s ilk for a decent figure won’t come around too often. Wataru Endo is scarcely used by Slot and Gravenberch and Mac Allister need proper competition.
Should Liverpool instil some French flair into their midfield in the form of Camainga, they would be sure to level up, adding the joie de vivre that has been lacking this term, and a tough-tackling presence that would ease the defence’s burden and free up the forwards to reach new heights.

Fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani has been ruled out of Zimbabwe’s upcoming T20I tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka due to a back injury. Left-arm seamer Newman Nyamhuri, yet to be capped in T20Is, has been named his replacement.There are no other changes to the squad that recently played Afghanistan at home, which Zimbabwe lost 0-3. Muzarabani, who had missed the last two T20Is of that series, picked up 2 for 41 in the first T20I.Nyamhuri, 19, has played four Tests and four ODIs, having made his international debut in December 2024. He was named in the T20I squad for the tri-series against South Africa and New Zealand in July but did not feature in any of the games.Led by Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe will open their campaign against hosts Pakistan in Rawalpindi on November 17, before facing Sri Lanka at the same venue on November 19. Zimbabwe will then travel to Lahore, where they will meet Pakistan again on November 23 and Sri Lanka on November 25. The top two teams on the points table will contest the final on 29 November in Lahore.Zimbabwe squad for T20I tri-series: Sikandar Raza (captain), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Graeme Cremer, Bradley Evans, Clive Madande, Tinotenda Maposa, Wellington Masakadza, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri, Brendan Taylor
The left-arm spinner took 2 for 22 in ten overs against Sri Lanka, varying his pace masterfully once again
Karthik Krishnaswamy09-Nov-2023It won’t go down as the ball of this World Cup. Or even the best ball bowled by a left-arm orthodox spinner at this World Cup. Or even the best ball bowled by Mitchell Santner at this World Cup – that honour, surely, will go to the pitch-leg, hit-off ripper he bowled to Mohammad Nabi in Chennai.This ball wasn’t that kind of ball, the kind that becomes instant social-media fodder. This was different, a ball less about its own magnificence than what it revealed about the bowler’s craft in totality. This was the kind of ball that made you wish you had paid more attention to every preceding ball this bowler had sent down, and resolve to pay extra attention to every subsequent ball.Santner delivered this ball from wide of the crease, his round-arm release accentuating the angle into the right-hand batter. The trajectory, looping up above Angelo Mathews’ eyeline, drew him forward, towards what his muscle memory must have told him was a comfortable front-foot block.Related

Mathews’ eyes, however, had deceived him. He had committed fully to a front-foot stride when he realised it was getting him nowhere. Having hung deliciously in the air for a split-second, the ball plummeted, landing perhaps half a foot short of where the batter may have expected it to. As Mathews reached for the ball, his left arm at full stretch, it turned and bounced towards the outside shoulder of his bat. Mathews yanked his bottom hand off the handle in a desperate attempt to cushion the ball’s impact, but that did nothing to prevent it from popping gently into the hands of Daryl Mitchell at slip.Santner had beaten Mathews in flight, comprehensively.Spinners do this in many ways. Some do this by means of dip, the effect of vicious overspin on the ball, but while overspin was certainly an ingredient here, it may not have been Santner’s primary mode of deceiving Mathews. In this case, it was perhaps more to do with the pace at which Santner had delivered this ball.The ball clocked 78.7kph, and this was slow both in absolute terms, judged against the average speed of the average 21st-century fingerspinner, and relative to Santner’s average speed, which lies somewhere in the mid-80s. And among the fingerspinners playing at this World Cup, hardly anyone varies their pace as much as Santner does, ranging all the way from the mid-70s to the mid-90s.For the batter, there are few, if any, clues to be gleaned about the pace at which Santner will release the ball from his approach to the crease and load-up. His run-up contributes little by way of momentum, since his action is distinctly stop-start, with a pause before he gets into his delivery stride.Speaking to ESPNcricinfo before this World Cup, Santner spoke about this pause, and how it helps him read batters’ intentions.”If you talk to some of the other bowlers, they try to probably look at some spot on the pitch. I try to watch the batter the whole time,” Santner said. “The little delay [in my action] helps me if they’re going to charge at me or try something… At times, especially when it’s flat or if I think the batsman is going to do something, I watch him even harder.”1:01
What makes Santner so effective?
Bowlers with smoother, more rhythmic actions than Santner may be able to put more of their body into the ball than he does, which may translate into more revolutions on the ball, leading to more drift and dip. The trade-off for Santner, though, is that he gets a window into the batter’s intentions in the split-second before he delivers the ball. It’s a massive advantage in white-ball cricket, because there’s a lot more premeditation at play, and because Santner has worked so hard to be able to vary his pace to such a degree without compromising on his length, he makes full use of this advantage.It’s why he often seems a step ahead of batters, most commonly when they try to make room and find out that he hasn’t just followed them but almost pre-empted them with his adjustment of line. It’s why he gets through entire spells of seeming to simply bowl normally and escape punishment even on the flattest of pitches. It’s how he ended up going for just 37 in his ten overs, without conceding a single four or six, on an Ahmedabad pitch where England made 282.It’s why he’s part of an exclusive club at this World Cup: spinners with at least 10 wickets at a sub-25 average and an economy rate of below five. Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav are the other two members of this club, and all three will now most likely feature in a blockbuster semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium.

Manchester United are falling behind their rivals at academy level due to poor facilities and trouble recruiting staff, according to a new report. The club is renowned for developing young talent but that reputation is at risk amid a lack of players pushing for places in Ruben Amorim's first-team squad at the moment, while there is concern among staff about the direction the academy is heading in.
Staff turnover causing disruption
That's according to a report in which claims that the high level of turnover due to people leaving and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's redundancies is causing disruption. Nick Cox, the director of academy between 2019 and 2025 who oversaw the rise of Alejandro Garnacho among other graduates into the United first team, left in the summer to become Everton's technical director. Under-18 coach Adam Lawrence has gone to Newcastle to take charge of the Magpies' under-21s. Paul McShane, David Hughes and Simon Wiles have all left the academy lately, leading to concern about the club's ability to retain experienced and talented staff.
AdvertisementAFPPlayers using temporary facilities
United spent £50m renovating the first team's training facility, which opened in August. However, there is concern that the investment in Ruben Amorim's side has come at the expense of the academy. Staff are working in prefabricated structures in the players’ car park, while a report in in October revealed that academy staff and first team analysts have to wash their own kit. A shortage of staff led to the under 13s not having enough socks and shorts for a match against Everton earlier this season, leading to the players having to wear Everton kit.
Ratcliffe was less than complimentary about the academy in a recent interview with ' The Business podcast. "The academy has really slipped at Manchester United," he said. "You need the academy to be producing talent all the time. It helps you financially. That’s not a light switch. You don’t solve the academy problem overnight. It takes time. We just recruited a new academy director."
According to , those comments did not go down well with parents of young academy players. One of them told the newspaper: "Sir Jim’s comments don’t represent what parents think of the club. All it has done is unsettle some of the boys and their parents. He might even find that what he’s said means some families start to wonder if their child’s future would be best served at another club. His comments aren’t helpful and are confusing as most are happy at United. They have access to great pitches, the changing rooms are fantastic. They have opened a new parents’ lounge, and the boys can use the state-of-the-art facilities that the first team use for gym and rehab.
"It’s quite the contrast from Sir Jim’s comments. The majority of the parents have said that Sir Jim seems to have his own agenda, which does not align with what is really happening. The coaches try to be upbeat and put a brave face on, but you can tell that Sir Jim’s comments have hurt them. They don’t understand what he’s talking about."
Rooney comments split opinion among academy
Wayne Rooney – whose eldest son Kai has played for the U18s, with 12-year-old Klay also in the club's academy system – has also aired his concerns about the club. He told the : "The culture of that football club has gone. I see it on a daily basis. I see staff losing jobs, people walking out of jobs. I’ve got two kids at that football club and I really hope this doesn’t affect what they’re doing."
The report claims that Rooney's comments divided opinion. While senior staff were annoyed with United's all-time top scorer for publicly slamming the club, others felt his analysis was "shrewd" and were pleased he had spoken out.

Getty Lacey next in line for senior debut
Amorim is yet to give any academy players a first-team debut this season, having played Chido Obi, Tyler Fredericson and Harry Amass last term. He did call up 18-year-old Shea Lacey to the matchday squad against Everton, and the Liverpool-born winger – who participated in the post-season tour of Asia in May – is regarded as being the most likely player to make his competitive debut. The fact that United are not involved in European competition this season and exited the Carabao Cup at the first hurdle has reduced the number of chances for youngsters although more opportunities in the first team could arise when the Red Devils enter the FA Cup in January.
da cassino online： After months of misery and poor performances, there are now reasons for West Ham United to feel somewhat hopeful.
da pinup bet： Yes, it’s still going to be a tough season for the East Londoners, but Nuno Espírito Santo got it spot on against Newcastle United and secured his first win with the club.
Moreover, several standout performers demonstrated they are ready for the fight, such as Freddie Potts.
The academy graduate was incredible and has to be a regular starter from this point onwards, even if that means it’s the end of the line for another West Ham ace.
The West Ham duds who need to be sold
While the win over Newcastle has certainly helped morale around the club, there remain more than a few players West Ham need to shift as soon as possible.
Fortunately, it appears that at least one of them is set to leave, with reports emerging that Niclas Füllkrug has his heart set on returning to Germany in January.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker has been a complete flop in East London, having scored just three goals and provided two assists in 27 appearances.

Someone who at least had a reasonably decent first season with the club, but needs to be sold nonetheless, is James Ward-Prowse.
The former Southampton captain was a constant problem in the middle of the park while Graham Potter was in the dugout, as he lacked the physicality and pace for the defensive side of the game and became increasingly ineffective going forward.
Moreover, with Nuno now freezing him out of the squad, selling him in January would be best for his own career.
Finally, although it may seem a bit early, it is likely in the club’s best interest to sell Mads Hermanssen before his value declines further.
The Danish shot-stopper might have looked good at Leicester City, but was woeful at the start of the season and miles off the level Alphons Areola is at today.
With all that said, there is one more player who might have been able to stay at West Ham were it not for Potts’ impressive display against Newcastle.
The West Ham ace whose time is up
While there were excellent performances across the pitch on Saturday, it would be fair to say Potts was one of the best players for West Ham.
Chalkboard
Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
The academy gem played with his heart on his sleeve, adding some real dynamism and power to the midfield, but at the same time, showed some real technical quality.
It was the sort of display that should see him start every game for the foreseeable future.
However, if he is to do that, and the likes of Mateus Fernandes and Lucas Paqueta are to play a major role this year, while Soungoutou Magassa is on the bench, the club need to trim their midfield options.
This, unfortunatly for him, leads to Andy Irving.
Unlike his teammates, the once-capped Scotsman doesn’t really bring any standout qualities to the team.He is not an overly technical player, and as fans have seen over the last few weeks, he is not nearly physical enough for the Premier League.
In fact, he started in the loss to Brentford last month, and in the aftermath, Jamie Carragher described the Hammers as “one of the slowest teams I’ve seen in Premier League history!”
Then, against Leeds when he was once again tasked with running the midfield, journalist Jordan Rushworth described him as a “National League standard” midfielder, adding that he “gets walked past every time an opposition midfielder has the ball.”
Ultimately, while that might be a step too far, it has become increasingly clear that Irving is not at the level to play for West Ham.
Therefore, with Potts now unignorable, the club should look to sell the Scotsman as soon as possible.
