Canada Super 60 league to make debut at Vancouver's B.C. Place Stadium
VANCOUVER - Cricket is coming to B.C. Place Stadium in the form of the Canada Super 60 tournament. The new league, which features the short-form 10-over version of the game, was originally set to launch in July at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ont. But organizers have opted for the bigger venue in Vancouver, saying dates and ticketing information will come later. 'Vancouver is a city that thrives on nature, diversity, and culture — and cricket on the West Coast is going to ignite a whole new fan base,' said former Indian cricket star Yuvraj Singh, a spokesman for Canada Super 60 Super 60 matches last about 90 minutes with each team batting for 10 overs (60 balls), making for all-action contests with batsmen swinging for the boundary in search of runs. In contrast, the Global T20 Canada tournament, which has taken place at the Brampton venue since 2018, features the 20-over version of the game. Like Global T20 Canada, teams in the new league will be made up of Canadian talent, international stars and a quota of players from associate nations. In April, organizers said Pakistan's Naseem Shah, England's Alex Hales and Australia's Chris Lynn were among the more than 1,350 cricketers who have put their hands up for the new league. Super 60, which is backed by Cricket Canada, will feature men's and women's play. —- This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 1, 2025

India hires Khalid Jamil as new head coach after Xavi and Pep Guardiola hoax applications
Associated Press NEW DELHI (AP) — After discarding hoax applications from Xavi and Pep Guardiola, the All India Football Federation hired Khalid Jamil as the new head coach of the national team on Friday. The AIFF admitted last week that proposed candidacies received from former Barcelona coach Xavi and Manchester City manager Guardiola, which had been disclosed to domestic media two days earlier, were not genuine. Instead, Jamil, one of more than 170 real applicants to coach India, is the first domestic coach to take the position for 13 years and succeeds Manolo Marquez after the Spaniard departed in July after 11 months and just one win. Jamil has won India's top league prize as a player, in 2005, and also as head coach of Aizawl FC in 2017. The 49-year-old took over Indian Super League club Jamshedpur in 2023, taking it to the final of the 2025 Super Cup. The AIFF said in a statement that committee members Shabbir Ali and Armando Colaco had pushed for a local candidate from a three-man shortlist -- that also contained Stephen Constantine, the British coach with two previous spells in charge of India, as well as Slovenia's Stefan Tarkovic -- in a bid to give Indian coaching a boost. Jamil's major task is to recover from a poor start in qualification for the 2027 Asian Cup, which saw India, ranked No. 133 in the world, collect just one point from the opening two games in its quest to make a third successive appearance at the quadrennial tournament. Only the winner of the four-team group will advance to Saudi Arabia. Qualification resumes in October. ___ AP soccer: in this topic

Rony Seikaly talks about his motivation to become one of the first international players in the NBA: "Let me be a pioneer"
Rony Seikaly talks about his motivation to become one of the first international players in the NBA: "Let me be a pioneer" originally appeared on Basketball Network. In 2025, the abundance of international stars around the NBA is normal, as their steady rise has been a noted trend in recent years. However, that was far from the case in older eras of the Association. Players from all over the world started entering the league in the late 80s and early 90s, but even then, they were a minority without any significant roles. One of the first was Rony Seikaly, a center of Lebanese descent. Seik was drafted ninth by the Miami Heat in the 1988 NBA Draft, the first pick for the new franchise in South Beach. According to Rony, his goal was to break the barrier and help other foreign players make the bold step of trying out their luck in the best league in the world. "When I started playing basketball, basketball was an inner city sport. They never looked at European players; they never looked at any foreign-born players. It was all farmed in the U.S. I was one of the very few and first players to come from overseas to play basketball in the United States. It was a big gamble to take, because I know I could have been all set playing basketball in Greece, but I wanted the bigger challenge. And I figured, let me be a pioneer and be one of the very first few foreign basketball players to play at the highest level," Seikaly explained in a recent interview. NBA bound Born in Lebanon and attending an American school in Athens, Greece, Seikaly's basketball upbringing was international. However, he developed into a skilled 6'11" center who garnered interest from many European clubs. However, Rony decided to go overseas after receiving a scholarship offer from Syracuse. As fate would have it, Seik spent four years with the Orange and turned himself into a legitimate NBA prospect who would eventually end up on the Heat. "I came here and played against all the best players in high school. That's when I got a scholarship to play in college, and then in college, I was exposed to the whole television audience, the press and everything else. And that's when I was drafted as the number one pick to the Miami Heat," Rony added. Seikaly spent the majority and best part of his career in Miami, averaging 15.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game during his six seasons with the Heat. The Lebanese international also played for the New Jersey Nets, Orlando Magic, and Golden State Warriors to round out a solid 11-year career in the golden era of the rise of international basketball While nowadays guys like Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, Victor Wembanyma and many more are dominating in the NBA, with fresh batches of international prospects entering the league every year, it is evident that American players no longer hold power over the foreign guys. In fact, many would say that they have overtaken them and are more desirable for teams to have. The rise in skill and adaptability the overseas guys have shown in recent years is impressive, but if pioneers like Seikaly, Drazen Petrovic, Vlade Divac, Toni Kukoc, and many other internationals had not taken risks 30+ years ago, all of this would not have been possible for the new story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Jul 28, 2025, where it first appeared.
