Andy Kirsten has arrived in Nairobi to take up his role as Kenya’s national coach and said his main job is to ensure that the side qualify for the 2011 World Cup.”I have been contracted for a year and my duty is to ensure Kenya qualifies,” Kirsten told the Standard. “I first want to settle for the next six weeks, during which I will be drafting my strategy for the team before we bounce to serious business.”Kirsten has less than a year before the World Cup Qualifiers in the UAE to make his mark, but one of the problems he faces is a lack of high-profile matches. Kenya are not scheduled to play any Full Member countries between now and then, although they have a lengthy European tour that takes in Denmark, England and then Associate Twenty20, Intercontinental Cup and ODIs in Ireland.Kirsten, 44, who has been coaching in his native South Africa, is no stranger to the Kenyan set-up as he assisted Sandeep Patil during the 2003 World Cup. “Kenya players are very talented and I have been following the team’s prowess keenly since I left because I have an interest with the team and a close relationships with most of the players. I believe they deserve Test status and that is where we are heading, I’m sure I will enjoy working with the boys.”

Glamorgan go into the final day at Chelmsford facing a massive task to avoid their first defeat of the season. After being set a victory target of 462, they reached the close on 110 for 1 but with the pitch starting to offer more encouragement to the spinners, it will need something special to deny their opponents success.Essex’s position of strength owed much to the efforts of Nick Browne and Liam Dawson. They shared in a stand of 237, setting a new record opening partnership for Essex against Glamorgan and they seldom experienced moment of anxiety. Left-hander Browne excelled with some fine driving, a straight six at the expense of offspinner Andrew Salter carrying him to his third century of the summer. He went on to make 129 that also included 20 fours before he was caught behind off legspinner Colin Ingram.Dawson, on-loan from Hampshire, and thrust into the opener’s role because Jaik Mickleburgh was suffering from back spasms, looked set to mark his home debut with a hundred. He had moved to 99 when he pushed a simple return catch to Ingram that brought to an end an innings that was noted for its placement rather than power. His effort contained eight fours and a six and his dismissal arrived soon after Ingram had trapped Tom Westley leg before on his way to final figures of 3 for 90 in 17 overs.Ravi Bopara was the fourth batsman to depart in the space of 33 runs but Jesse Ryder and Ryan ten Doeschate composed and unbroken stand of 74 in 11 overs before the 344 for 4 declaration left Glamorgan with their daunting mission. Both went aggressively about their business, Ryder’s 41 came from 43 balls while ten Doeschate struck 40 from 36 deliveries with the aid of four fours and a six.Jacques Rudolph and Will Bragg looked comfortable enough against the Essex pace attack when they began Glamorgan’s second innings but the introduction of left-arm spinner Dawson proved more of a problem. He soon beat the bat and found the edge before he tempted Bragg into a pull that finished in the hands of ten Doeschate at midwicket to bring to an end an encouraging partnership of 42.But 18 year-old Aneurin Donald and the experienced Rudolph further success. The teenager was particularly impressive as he seized every opportunity the loose ball as he ended the day with 42 from 68 balls. The more cautious Rudolph will resume in 45 which has so far spanned 95 balls.

Hosts Bangladesh will take on defending champions South Africa in the opening game of the Under-19 World Cup in Chittagong on January 27 next year. The match is one of 20 games that will be broadcast live, compared to 11 matches telecast during the 2014 competition in the UAE. The tournament final will be played in Dhaka on February 14.Sixteen teams will participate in the tournament including six qualifiers – Scotland, Namibia, Afghanistan, Canada, Fiji and Nepal – across eight venues in Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet and Cox’s Bazar. Group D looks the most notable of the four groups as Australia, India, New Zealand and Nepal will compete for two knockout berths.Former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara and Bangladesh fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed attended the tournament launch programme in Dhaka on Monday, along with BCB president Nazmul Hassan and ICC general manager Geoff Allardice.

Sangakkara joked he wasn’t “good enough” to play in the U-19 World Cup all those years ago, but identified the importance of the tournament for the transition of young players into international cricket.”I watched a lot of players around the world who played in the U-19 World Cup,” Sangakkara said. “It is great to see talent being recognised at a very young age and then get the exposure at an international stage to showcase their skills. It introduces them to professionalism, structure and the expectations of what they should be doing to step up to the international level.”Allardice recognised Bangladesh – who are hosting the event for the second time – as an ideal candidate in terms of amenities, especially with the addition of two stadiums in Cox’s Bazar for this tournament.”It is a very important tournament for the ICC. It is the aspiration of every young cricketer to make it to their U-19 national team,” Allardice said. “Nine of the ten Test captains have played in the U-19 World Cup at some stage.”I think the global nature of this tournament is important for cricket. It tends to expose the young players to the world stage. They are also exposed to education programmes like anti-corruption and anti-doping.”One of the things about the U-19 World Cup is to find a host city or country that has sufficient match and training facilities to host the 16 teams. Bangladesh ticks all the boxes in that regard. We hosted 26 teams in the ICC World T20 in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet and this time we are also playing in Cox’s Bazar.”BCB chief Hassan said he was confident of the competition’s success. “Bangladesh has a proud history of hosting ICC events,” he said. “This is the second Under-19 World Cup that Bangladesh will be hosting. Given the passion and enthusiasm with which we organise and follow cricket, I am confident this tournament will also be successful.”

Jos Buttler is facing a tricky decision over his future as he decides whether to fight for his Test place or appear in this year’s IPL season.Buttler was dropped from England’s Test team during the tour of the UAE, having averaged 13 with the bat in the seven matches in which he played from the start of the Ashes. While he retained a place in the squad for the tour of South Africa, he has had to watch as his replacement, Jonny Bairstow, scored a maiden Test century in Cape Town to cement his role for the rest of the series.But Buttler’s limited-overs form has remained impressive. He smashed the quickest century in England’s limited-overs history in November – it took just 46 balls – and it is understood by ESPNcricinfo that Kolkata Knight Riders, the club which Trevor Bayliss coached before joining England, are particularly keen to secure his services this year.Initially Buttler was keen to return to Lancashire and attempt to win back his England place by performing well in the County Championship. But with Bairstow now assured of a prolonged run in the side and the ECB keen to see their players gain more experience of playing in overseas T20 tournaments such as the IPL or Big Bash, Buttler is rethinking that view.While it is possible that Buttler and Bairstow could feature in the same Test side – for all his excellence with the bat, Bairstow has yet to totally convince with the gloves and at some stage could be picked as a specialist batsman – it seems unlikely in the short term.The ECB are happy to leave the decision over whether to appear in the IPL to Buttler. Andrew Strauss, the ECB’s director of England cricket, has suggested on several occasions that he believes that England players can benefit from exposure to such events and there are those who believe that Buttler may benefit from pursuing a future as a white-ball specialist.But Butter, aged 25, retains Test ambitions and is reluctant to be typecast so early in his career. He also knows that, if he misses the first two months of the county season, there is no guarantee that he will displace the highly-rated Alex Davies, aged 21, as the Lancashire keeper.It leaves Buttler at a crossroads: he can work on his red-ball batting in the relatively unglamorous world of early-season county cricket in the hope it leads to a Test recall, or take the riches on offer in the IPL. It may seem, at first glance, like a simple decision. But Buttler knows that, once he slips out of the Test reckoning, it may prove hard to work his way back. With the ECB increasingly aware of the benefits of players specialising between red- and white-ball cricket, his decision could define the future direction of his career.The 2016 IPL season starts on April 9, a week after the final of the World Twenty20 in Kolkata, and ends on May 29, with players expected to report – subject to international duty – a week before the start. Players required for Test duty by England will be required to return to the UK by noon on May 6, with most non-Test players required to return by noon on May 17 to ensure their availability in the opening round of T20 Blast matches on May 20. Buttler could well be given special dispensation to remain in India for the entire tournament – as Kolkata Knight Riders are believed to have requested – at the discretion of the ECB.The ECB, who are currently involved in a budget review which has required several employees to reapply for their jobs, no longer operate a system by which they return to players the portion of their salaries forfeited for their release from county or central contracts – as they did up to the 2015 IPL season. However, it is understood they are considering topping up payments should a low reserve price result in England players making a net loss on their involvement. In previous years, players have priced themselves out of the market by demanding a higher reserve price to ensure they did not lose out financially.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsA thrilling chase and a cruel missed chance saw India seal a Twenty20 series sweep over Australia at the SCG, as the more settled side was victorious once again.Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli laid the groundwork for India’s pursuit before Suresh Raina was able to finish things off with the help of Yuvraj Singh, who looked out of touch before finding his timing at precisely the right moment as the pair took 19 off Andrew Tye’s final over of the innings to finish off the win. Victory also lifted India to No.1 in the ICC T20 rankings; they were eighth before the series began.Raina was fortunate to be there, having escaped a stumping chance second ball. The bowler Cameron Boyce was Australia’s outstanding performer on the night, but he was let down by the glove work of Cameron Bancroft, a speculative choice as wicketkeeper for this match in the absence of Matthew Wade.The error typified Australia’s muddled approach to this series, just a month out from the World T20 in India. However they did have the consolation of an outstanding century by the stand-in captain Shane Watson, who showed why he should be indispensable to the team’s campaign on the same day his former team-mate Michael Clarke announced he intended to return to cricket after a five-month break.India’s bowling was not particularly strong this night, but their batting strength was demonstrated by Rohit, Kohli and Raina. Vitally, Raina and Yuvraj did not lose their heads under the pressure of the chase – a strong lesson for the Australians given their panicky displays in Adelaide and Melbourne.In pursuit of 198, India needed a fast start, something Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit were more than capable of providing. Dhawan only lasted nine balls, but in that time clumped 26 runs and made a mess of Shaun Tait. Rohit was a little more circumspect, but helped keep the score ticking over well ahead of the required rate.Australia were able to pull things back somewhat through the middle overs thanks largely to the bowling of Watson and the legspinner Boyce, who gave the ball teasing flight and loaded it with spin to beat Rohit, Kohli and Raina in the air. Boyce gained two wickets for his effort but should have had a third, when Bancroft missed the stumping chance that a more seasoned keeper might have completed.After Kohli’s exit to Boyce’s penultimate ball for another sparkling contribution of 50, Raina and Yuvraj Singh pottered around for a time. As MS Dhoni had done during the 50-over match on this ground a little over a week ago, they allowed the equation to stretch out while finding their bearings, and Tye was left to defend 17 from the final over.As though rousing from a deep sleep, Yuvraj pounced on Tye’s first two balls, flicking over backward square leg to the fence then pounding a six into the heaving crowd at midwicket. That rather simplified the equation for India, and a pair of hustled twos by Raina were followed by an exultant last ball boundary that completed India’s clean sweep.Watson had won the toss on a warm evening and walked out to bat with his Thunder opening partner Usman Khawaja. In the form of his life, Khawaja strolled to 14 from five balls before edging a good one from Ashish Nehra and being dismissed for less than 50 for the first time since last October.That was something of a shock for the crowd and the Australians, but Watson was soon finding his range with powerful shots struck through and over MS Dhoni’s fields. He was given a helping hand by a pair of no-balls from Jaspreet Bumrah in the fourth over, the second from the free-hit he gave up by bowling the first – both were crunched to the cover boundary by Watson.Shaun Marsh and Glenn Maxwell could not endure in Watson’s company, but Travis Head provided common sense support to his captain, who grew in fluency and confidence with every over. A few weeks ago Watson had played similarly well on this ground for the Sydney Thunder against the Sydney Sixers, and this time Watson went on from his typical resting place between 50 and 90 to a maiden T20 international century.The milestone brought an expansive celebration by Watson on the ground of his adopted home state for several reasons. Not only was it a rare international century for him and a moment to assure his presence in the team for the World T20 in India, the innings was also doubtless a timely one a few days before the IPL auction.Watson would follow up with some tidy bowling, but as captain he could do little about some of the less illustrious work of others, as India romped home. They will go into the World T20 full of confidence; Australia meanwhile do not look sure where to go.

Josh Tongue will replace Gus Atkinson in England’s only change for the third Ashes Test in Adelaide on Wednesday, with Will Jacks picked ahead of Shoaib Bashir even on a pitch expected to be the most spin-friendly they will encounter on this tour.Brendon McCullum publicly backed England’s top seven on Sunday, effectively ruling out the possibility of drafting in Jacob Bethell, while Ben Stokes believes that Tongue has a “natural wicket-taking ability” which will reinforce his seam attack. In Atkinson’s absence, Brydon Carse will share the new ball with Jofra Archer.Tongue, 28, has taken 31 wickets in his first six Tests, one every 44.1 balls, and is a strike bowler whose economy rate is above four runs per over. England believe that the mechanics of his bowling action – delivering the ball with his arm beyond the perpendicular – make him harder for batters to pick up, as Stokes alluded to after training on Monday.”There’s a few angles [to selection] like getting a fresh bowler in for the batters to have a look at,” Stokes said. “We feel like what Tonguey possesses – in terms of his angles that he creates at the crease, and his natural wicket-taking ability – is something that we feel is going to help us out this week.”Related

• McCullum warns against 'knee-jerk reactions' to England batting line-up

Atkinson has struggled to make an impact in this series: he has taken three wickets in 54 overs, two of which came in Australia’s swift run chase at the Gabba in the second Test, and his drop-off in pace has been notable. But Stokes argued that he had been “incredibly unlucky” and that rotation in his seam attack was inevitable.”It’s a huge ask for any seamer to be able to play five games,” he said. “Gus has bowled very well out here. He’s just been incredibly unlucky, in particular with the new ball; I just don’t think he’s got the luck that he’s deserved.”With Tonguey, that natural wicket-taking ability that he has is something we feel is useful to be able to turn to. We’ve seen it in his career so far, that regardless of how things are going in a spell or a day, he’ll just get a cluster of wickets, or an important wicket out of nowhere.”Tongue, who has also been preferred to Matthew Potts and Matthew Fisher, took 5 for 151 in his previous Ashes Test, at Lord’s in 2023. Those wickets included Steven Smith twice (for 110 and 34), whom Tongue has dismissed in each of the four innings in which he has bowled to him, including a County Championship match in 2023 and in this year’s Hundred.Tongue was England’s leading wicket-taker in their series against India last summer with 19, including a second-innings five-wicket haul at The Oval after a wayward effort in the first innings. He has also proved himself to be particularly effective against the tail, and Stokes believes that he will be well-suited to Adelaide Oval.”I feel like on this surface in Adelaide, that kind of natural attribute is something that you’ll probably have to call on at some point, with it being probably one of the truer wickets [in Australia],” Stokes said. “I don’t think it’s going to have the bounce that we’ve seen in the first two games… It certainly plays a little bit different to the two other grounds that we played at.”Bashir’s omission at a venue where Nathan Lyon is Australia’s leading wicket-taker flies in the face of Stokes’ suggestion ahead of the second Test in Brisbane that he remains England’s “number one spinner”. But Jacks’ all-round efforts – 60 runs, a wicket, and a stunning catch at long leg – have seen him retained as England’s primary spin option.”It was a tough decision to come to,” Stokes said. “I thought the way that Jacksy handled last week in general was really, really good. In both innings, he looked incredibly composed at the crease, and I think when he got into his rhythm with the ball as well, he looked good. We’re 2-0 down, and we’re trying to give ourselves the best chance with bat and ball.”I wouldn’t say it’s got anything to do against Bash whatsoever… We feel having Jacksy down at No. 8 obviously strengthens our batting a little bit deeper, if we need to go there, and he’s more than capable enough to handle that role with the ball when we need to call upon it. We find ourselves in that situation where big runs and wickets are important.”Stokes confirmed that Carse will share the new ball with Archer, having operated as a change bowler in eight of his previous 11 Tests. “He’s someone who will always get the ball, run in and give everything,” he said. “He’s not bowled as well as he would have liked to [in Australia] but he still takes wickets… He’s just going to run in and give you everything.”Australia are expected to make at least two changes, with Pat Cummins set to return as captain, Nathan Lyon in line for a recall after missing the pink-ball Test in Brisbane, and a decision to make between Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja and Beau Webster for the final batting spot.

England XI:

1 Zak Crawley, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Harry Brook, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Jamie Smith (wk), 8 Will Jacks, 9 Brydon Carse, 10 Jofra Archer, 11 Josh Tongue.

Ben Duckett has been given “complete support” by his captain Ben Stokes and retained in England’s XI for the Boxing Day Test at the MCG despite his failure to reach 30 in six innings in the Ashes series so far and an ECB investigation into his conduct.A video, which appeared to show Duckett drunk, unsure how to get back to his hotel, and calling a fan a “p***k”, went viral on social media hours after Rob Key, England’s managing director, pledged to investigate reports of heavy drinking during the team’s trip to Noosa after the second Test. The ECB said on Monday night that it was “aware” of the video and planned to “establish the facts”.England have made two changes for the fourth Test with Jacob Bethell and Gus Atkinson replacing Ollie Pope and the injured Jofra Archer, but Duckett has been retained. He has underperformed in Australia, averaging 16.16, and has not scored a half-century in his last 12 international innings across formats, but England do not have a spare opener in their squad.Related

Key had said before the video circulated on Tuesday that heavy drinking during an international tour was “completely unacceptable”, but Stokes threw his support behind Duckett, describing him as an “important player” and an “incredibly influential person” within the England change room.”It’s all pretty fresh and pretty new,” Stokes said. “I’ve obviously reached out and spoken to him and offered my complete support with him throughout this. He’s such an important player for this team, and we’ve still got two games of cricket to play. He’s an incredibly influential person within this group.”Stokes has often been the subject of unwanted media attention, not least when he was involved in a street-fight outside a Bristol nightclub and was suspended from the 2017-18 Ashes tour by the ECB as a result.”I have first-hand experience of how this can affect people,” he said. “I will always support my players, particularly in a moment like this where everything feels like it’s on top of you – and for some players more than others as well. My job as England captain is obviously to be out there and get results for the team, but also to try to give people the best chance of being in a mental space where they can go out there and perform.Ben Duckett speaks to Rob Key ahead of the fourth Test•Robbie Stephenson/PA Images via Getty Images

“Supporting them and letting them know that I will be there for them through thick and thin is very, very important, and Ben Duckett knows that… I know what it’s like. It’s not a nice place to be in, but he knows that he’s got the support of myself and the other guys around him as well.”He refused to answer when asked if Duckett had done anything wrong. “I’m here to support him. I’ll always support my players and I made that pretty clear.”England have come under intense scrutiny since arriving in Australia and Stokes described going 3-0 down as the toughest period of his tenure. “I’ve been in this role for a while now and I’ve had some very, very, very good times,” he told SEN Radio. “Right here, right now, this is, most definitely, the hardest time that I’ve had as England captain.”He added that England’s players deserve some “empathy” while touring overseas for long periods of time. “It is very gruelling and it is tough when you’re here, there and everywhere,” he said. “You have to deal with the emotions of being away, the scrutiny that you are under, in particular when things aren’t going well… There needs to be a little bit of empathy.”

Sol Campbell has recently been for talks with Celtic over the possibility of joining the Scottish giants next season. The 35-year-old has reportedly been offered a two-year-deal; however he is keeping his options open and hopes to get an offer from Arsenal. However is the former England defender still good enough to play at the highest level or has he truly had his day?

Arsene Wenger unexpectedly re-signed Sol Campbell on a six-month deal in January after he walked out on Notts County after just one game at the club. Although he looked slightly sluggish at first after he regained his fitness he didn’t look out of place in the Arsenal back four and overall did a good job for the Gunners. However every year now will take an extra toll on his body and whether he will be up to it next season is unknown. Quite a few Arsenal fans believe he would still be good cover for the side and can lend an experienced hand to younger players, and this could especially be useful in Carling Cup ties where Wenger likes to play his youngsters.

The main sticking points over whether or not Campbell stays at Arsenal appears to be the amount of playing time that he will get and the length of the contract. It’s well documented that Wenger doesn’t like to give older players longer than one year deals and as for his playing time, at his age and at a club like Arsenal there is no way he can be first choice. This is why a move to Celtic would greatly appeal to Campbell as he will get the security of a two-year deal and probably be a first team regular. He can look to emulate the captain of Celtic’s bitter rivals Rangers, David Weir; the 40-year-old was named as Scottish Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year last season. The defender has had a very successful time in Scotland since making the move from Everton three years ago, this shows that Campbell could have a very successful career in Scotland should he decide to make the move.

However with the Scottish league being vastly inferior to the Premiership, Campbell would have to ask himself if he wants to be a reserve in the best league in the world, or a regular for a big team in a sub-standard league. Another option could be to join another side in the Premiership but Newcastle have been the only club rumoured to be after his services. As they already boost Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini in defence Campbell would also have to be content as a reserve. A final option could be for Campbell to retire and whilst it doesn’t seem likely, perhaps it could be the right time for him to hang up his boots now whilst he is still regarded as a decent centreback.

The next decision Sol Campbell makes is going to be important one as it will determine the last few years of his career. Ultimately he can be a Premier League benchwarmer, a regular in a lesser league, although in Celtic’s case it would be for a massive club. Or he could retire now and have a good career to look back on; whatever he chooses it’s going to be interesting to see which path he takes.

Reports suggest Manchester United are set to offer Serbia international Nemanja Vidic a lucrative new contract while the defender's agent has cooled talk of a move to Real Madrid for his client.

The Guardian is reporting that United are willing to offer the defender a two-year extension to his current contract that will be worth between £70,000 to £90,000-a-week.

The 28-year-old's current deal still has two years left to run but, when asked if Vidic would be a United player next season, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I believe so."

Meanwhile, the player's agent, Silvano Martino, told Itasportpress.it when asked about speculation linking his client with a move to Spain:"Real Madrid? So far the Spanish club has not contacted us.
