England recall spinner Liam Dawson for fourth Test to replace Shoaib Bashir
The 35-year-old made the last of his three Test appearances eight years ago but looks set for an unexpected return at Emirates Old Trafford following Bashir's withdrawal. Bashir took the match-winning wicket in a tense finish at Lord's on Monday evening, having already broken the little finger on his left hand. He is set for surgery in the coming days and will miss the remainder of the series. Welcome, Daws! 👋 Spinner Liam Dawson joins our squad for the Fourth Test match against India 🏏 Full story 👇 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 15, 2025 Dawson has been picked ahead of fellow left-armer Jack Leach, despite the latter being centrally contracted. 'Liam Dawson deserves his call-up. He has been in outstanding form in the County Championship and consistently puts in strong performances for Hampshire,' said selector Luke Wright. Leach has played 39 Tests and was the long-term number one before being usurped by county colleague Bashir. He was England's top wicket-taker on the tour of Pakistan over the winter but now appears to have slipped even further back in the pecking order. Dawson offers a superior all-round package, with 18 first-class centuries to his name, and returned to the England fold for the first time under Brendon McCullum earlier this summer. The Hampshire stalwart featured in the T20 series against the West Indies, taking four for 20 in his comeback match at Durham. Speaking after the game, he admitted: 'I had got to an age where I probably thought international cricket was gone. 'In my domestic career, I've tried to go out there and just enjoy playing for whoever I'm playing for. It was about going out there and not worrying about playing for England. 'I think that can hamper you sometimes, so I've not really worried about that. I'm at an age now where I know that I'm close to finishing. I'm on the edge of that. So now it's just about enjoyment, trying to work smarter in your training and just believing that you're good enough.' England have thinned their squad to 14 for the trip to Manchester, allowing pace bowlers Jamie Overton and Sam Cook to return to Surrey and Essex respectively. Josh Tongue and Gus Atkinson are included and will be considered should England opt to rest Chris Woakes or Brydon Carse, who have been ever present in the series to date. Woakes is likeliest to step down after failing to find his best form, with Dawson's arrival potentially helping cover his batting duties at number eight.

Ivan Toney fumes 'I HATE London' after England star's £197K Lamborghini is broken into after returning from his new home in Saudi Arabia
Ivan Toney suffered damage to his prize Lamborghini on his return to London from the former Brentford striker's new home in Saudi Arabia. The England international booked a move to Al-Ahli last summer amid feverish speculation over his future plans. After inking an alleged £20million-a-year deal with the Saudi Pro League side, Toney jetted off to join his new side in the Kingdom's second city, Jeddah. The 29-year-old has since secured the Asian Champions League title after their 2-0 victory against Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale. The move to Saudi came just over six months on from his return to football after Toney had served his eight-month ban for breaching the Football Association's gambling regulations. Toney's 232 breaches of the association's laws took place between 2017 and 2021, and the player was later diagnosed with a gambling addiction. His new home in Saudi Arabia outlaws gambling altogether. But Toney has since returned to the United Kingdom during his off-season - and appeared to soon discover why he opted for a move away from his home country. Sharing a picture on his Instagram Story, Toney showed that the window of his Lamborghini Urus - worth an upwards of £197,000 - had been smashed and the car broken into by would-be thieves. It is not known whether Toney had anything stolen from inside the vehicle, but the forward was incensed, captioning an image of the damage: 'This is why I hate London'. Just three days before the crime, Toney had shown off his car in a video posted on social media of the striker training with his two sons, Ivan Junior and Ikari, who he shares with long-term partner Katie Bio. Toney, who was born in Northampton, previously made the capital his home for the four seasons he spent at Brentford, after his move to the side from Peterborough United. But in November last year, Toney is believed to have revealed his new fondness for Saudi stemmed from Jeddah's supposed similarities to another British city. It is claimed that Toney thinks that his new home shares the same qualities he liked in Milton Keynes, where he used to live - and started his relationship with Bio. Toney and Bio are believed to have received special dispensation to live together out of wedlock in the devout Muslim country - receiving the same privileges as Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez.

Jordan Henderson reveals why he's joined Brentford as former Liverpool captain completes free transfer after quitting Ajax
Jordan Henderson has revealed that his long-held admiration for Brentford and their remarkable recent rise played a factor in his decision to join the Bees. The west London club confirmed the signing of the former Liverpool captain on a free transfer on Tuesday following the termination of his contract with Ajax. Henderson, described by Bees boss Keith Andrews as 'one of the most influential leaders in modern Premier League years' will fill the void left by the loss of their captain and first-choice defensive-midfielder Christian Norgaard to Arsenal last week. 'I've always had huge admiration for the club,' said the 35-year-old. 'And what they've achieved over the last few years, in particular, how they've grown as a club.' Henderson, who has agreed a two year contract, also spoke highly of new boss Andrews as he embarks on his first head coaching role. 'When I spoke to Keith a few times, he was very good and very honest, and he's excited to get started as well,' Henderson added. The Bees have won the race to bring Henderson back to the Premier League, despite interest in his services from across Europe. Brentford face a huge rebuilding period this summer, having already lost their captain and manager after Thomas Frank also moved to north London, joining Norgaard's new arch-rivals Tottenham to replace Ange Postecoglou. Similarly, they could also lose star man Bryan Mbeumo, who has twice been the subject of hefty bids by Manchester United. Frank has been replaced by Andrews, who will be keen to add a player with the experience of Henderson into his dressing-room. In a statement on the club's website, Andrews expressed his joy at recruiting a player with the qualities of the England international and acknowledged the side's need to fill the void left by experienced stars leaving the Gtech. 'We've got a pretty young squad, overall, and we've got a lot of club experience, which is really important, with the likes of Vitaly Janelt, Mathias Jensen, Ethan Pinnock and Josh Dasilva, who is still at the club doing rehab,' said Andrews. 'But what Jordan will bring is that he has been one of the most influential leaders in modern Premier League years. He's been at the forefront of driving for titles and Champions Leagues at a fantastic football club. 'He also has experience at international level with England and, with that, comes a level of experience, professionalism and dedication to his profession - that's the exact way we want to be as a football club. 'He will drive standards and be a brilliant addition to the squad.' Henderson's Premier League return comes almost two years to the day since his high-profile move to Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, having brought an end to his trophy-laden 12-year stay at Liverpool. With the Reds, the former Sunderland midfielder lifted a Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, European Super Cup and two Carabao Cups, as well as the Community Shield.
