NEW DELHI: Pakistan men’s cricket team head coach Mike Hesson has explained why experienced wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan was dropped from the ODI squad for the upcoming series against Australia and why he was earlier removed as captain.Rizwan, who had led Pakistan to ODI series wins against Australia, Zimbabwe and South Africa after becoming captain in 2024, recently struggled with the bat during the Bangladesh series. He scored only 54 runs in three matches at an average of 19.33. Pakistan selectors replaced him in the squad with wicketkeeper batter Rohail Nazir.His exclusion created major debate among fans, especially after reports claimed Hesson was not keen on Rizwan being part of Pakistan’s future white-ball plans, including the 2027 ODI World Cup.Speaking about the decision, Hesson said Pakistan are trying out different combinations ahead of the next World Cup. “Because in 18 months time we have a World Cup, so we need to look at the options we have from a working people’s point of view, and that was something that the selection panel decided,” he explained.Hesson also clarified that changes had already started during the Bangladesh ODI series as Pakistan looked to test younger players and new combinations.The coach further spoke about Rizwan losing the ODI captaincy after Pakistan’s poor results in 2025. “In terms of ODIs, yes, Mohammad Rizwan started as the captain in the West Indies, and we felt we needed a change at the end of that series because we had won two games in 12 months. So, the team had not performed.”He added, “Sure, you look at two things: you look at individual numbers, and you look at how you can maximise the team’s performance. So, we felt we wanted to make a change from the captaincy’s point of view.”Hesson also pointed out that Rizwan had already been out of Pakistan’s T20I setup before he took charge as coach.
They finally lost another series. The Braves lost two of three to the continually surprising Nats over the weekend. Still, that’s only two series losses for the Braves in two months of baseball. That’s absurd.
The Rays are definitely a good team, but they’ve been far too fortunate. Their run differential suggests they should be about five games worse than this and they’ve gone a likely unsustainable 9-1 in one-run games. Maybe losing two straight games in walk-off fashion is the start of some regression. As for the ranking, the Brewers just forced my hand. The Rays weren’t demoted. They were leapfrogged. There’s a big gap after this spot. We have a clear Big Four right now two months into the season.
Though he only struck out two, Gerrit Cole going six scoreless innings in his return from Tommy John surgery, especially since it was against the Rays, was a big success.
On May 10, the Guardians lost to fall to 21-21. They were in first place in a division with no team above .500 and mockery ensued. The Guardians have gone 11-3 since.
While there’s plenty of deserved attention on Fernando Tatis Jr. still having zero home runs, keep in mind that Manny Machado is hitting .170 and Jackson Merrill .198. It isn’t really “early” anymore, right? It’s past Memorial Day! Time to wake up, guys.
All of a sudden, as can happen pretty easily with a star, Ketel Marte is scorching hot. In his last nine games, he’s 21 for 37 (.568) with six doubles, three homers, 15 RBI and 13 runs. Not coincidentally, the D-backs are 7-2 in those nine games.
I’ve been waiting on the other shoe to fall here. The Cardinals have now lost five of seven. Is this the start of the downswing? Or will they keep proving myself and many others wrong?
Injuries have been a factor, but Bryce Harper hasn’t hit more than 30 home runs in a season since 2021, his second MVP season. With 12 so far this year, he’s on pace for 36. That would be his second-highest total in a season after his 42 from 2015 (his first MVP season). While we’re here, he’s at 375 in his career and is 33 years old. Yes, I’ve got my eyes on 500.
Shea Langeliers is flirting with a 150+ OPS+. Do you know how many A’s catchers ever have had a full season with a figure that high? One! Hall of Famer Mickey Cochrane in 1933 hit .322/.459/.515 for a 158 OPS+.
How much longer are they gonna keep running Marcell Ozuna out there? He’s now hitting .184/.273/.307 with 53 strikeouts in 163 at-bats. It’s a 35-year-old, washed-up designated hitter. They can do better.
Rough road trip last week, but the Sox bounced back with a win at home on Monday and are back above .500. Even if they miss the playoffs, as I expect them to, they are going to be a fun and feisty team all year.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such extremes. The Cubs started 7-9 and then won 10 straight, then lost three straight, then won 10 straight and have since gone 2-13. I assume they’ll lose again Tuesday, which would be a 10-game losing streak to accompany two 10-game winning streaks before even getting to June.
He’s only a part-time player, but Curtis Mead has been such a nice addition (the Nats traded for him on March 28). He’s now got an .844 OPS with seven homers and 20 RBI in 136 plate appearances.
Randy Arozarena’s career high in WAR is 4.2 which happened with the Rays in 2021. He’s on pace to top 6.0 this season. He’s hitting for average, taking walks, hitting for enough power, stealing bases and playing great defense in left. He’s never received a down-ballot MVP vote, but he’d be deserving right now.
Louie Varland gave up an earned run last week. That’s news because it was only the second time — out of 25 appearances now — in which he allowed an earned run in an outing this season. He has a 0.65 ERA.
Before Monday’s loss, the Twins had won six of seven. They seem determined to avoid the fate I had them ticketed for this season (one of the worst teams in MLB).
Those rooting for the demise of these Astros: Uh oh. They’ve now won four in a row, five of six and eight of 12. They even had what seems to be becoming a signature with a combined no-hitter. They appear to be waking up.
The Marlins can beat you with their legs (wait, what? Fish don’t have legs!). They lead the majors with 62 stolen bases and only one player is in double digits while nine have at least three. Five have at least six SBs.
Absolutely BRUTAL stretch here — one of the most embarrassing of the season in this small of a sample. The Rangers were swept by the Angels and then were on the business end of a combined no-hitter started by a guy with an 8.31 ERA and finished by a dude making his MLB debut.
They’ve won three of four and the walk-off Monday provided great vibes, but man, they need more from so many different players. Could we start with Gunnar Henderson? He’s the superstar, and he’s hitting .221/.275/.420.
In the midst of so much bad going on around him, Willson Contreras is having one of the best seasons of his career. His previous high in home runs is 24 and he’s already got 11, for example.
Things really were looking up a week ago, but the Mets have now dropped six of seven. If this continues, we’re getting into “lost season” territory. They’re already more than seven games out of playoff position.
Luis Arraez is the only player in MLB history to win a batting title for three different teams (Twins in 2022, Marlins in 2023, Padres in 2024). He’s within striking range right now (.318 with the leader at .333) with the Giants. Can he really do it for *four* teams?
Perry Minasian has been at the helm of the front office since November of 2020. They lost 99 games in 2024, 90 last year and are on pace for 102 this year. MLB.com ranked their farm system 28th out of 30 heading into this season. They have the ability to spend a lot in free agency, too.
In moving Antonio Senzatela to the bullpen here in time for the final year of his contract, the Rockies have created trade bait. He’s been brilliant with a 1.13 ERA and 0.78 WHIP. We might even see him closing in the playoffs. How weird would that be?
Now, I already know exactly what you’re thinking – “It’s real points that count, not expected ones!”
And yes, you’re right, points win prizes and that’s why the real league table is the only one that matters.
But expected points (xPTS) are useful for football analysts because they can serve as a decent indicator of whether a team over or under-performed across the course of a season.
Expected points are calculated by comparing the quality of goalscoring chances a team makes (xG) and concedes (xGA) in every match throughout the campaign, and shows what the impact would have been on the team’s points total.

In theory, it measures how genuinely strong a team’s attacking and defensive performance was.
Roberto De Zerbi is hoping to raid his old club Brighton to charge up Tottenham Hotspur’s rebuild, with Carlos Baleba, Jan Paul van Hecke and Bart Verbruggen at the top of his transfer targets.
There is naturally an acceptance they may not get all of those, which is why Spurs are also looking at Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi, Liverpool’s Andy Robertson and Manchester City’s James Trafford.
De Zerbi is also intent on a new goalkeeper despite Antonin Kinsky’s recent heroics, with Verbruggen knowing exactly how he plays.

The club meanwhile want to bring in both Van Hecke and Senesi as centre-back options. The highly-rated teenager Luka Vuskovic is expected to sign a new deal and then go back on loan to Hamburg, were he hugely impressed this season on the club’s return to the Bundesliga – finishing as the league’s highest-scoring defender with six goals, recording the best duel success rate in the division (69.1 per cent) and being named in the Bundesliga Team of the Season.
Micky van de Ven meanwhile wants to stay, to form a strong centre-half line-up key to De Zerbi’s approach.
Stones would come under stronger consideration if any of the main targets fall through but De Zerbi realises the need for that kind of leadership, which is also why Spurs have sustained interest in Robertson following his emotional departure from Liverpool.
The club have already found that new opportunities have opened up now they’ve secured Premier League safety, which even extends to potential football leadership and executive roles.
Canelo Alvarez is hoping to regain a super-middleweight world title when he returns to the ring in September, seeking to prove once again that he is the top dog in the 168lb division. Although, there is one world champion that the Mexican has admitted he will not face.
Canelo claimed all four of the super-middleweight world titles in just 11 months when he became the first undisputed super-middleweight champion of all time back in 2021, before defending those belts on four occasions.
Alvarez then became a two-time undisputed ruler by outpointing William Scull last year, but he lost all of his titles to Terence Crawford four months later, with the American’s retirement then causing the fragmentation of the undisputed throne.

Christian Mbilli was upgraded to the full WBC world champion, with Canelo scheduled to challenge ‘Solide’ in September, whilst the other straps now belong to Hamzah Sheeraz (WBO), Jaime Munguia (WBA) and Osleys Iglesias (IBF).
With this new set of champions, Canelo has one roadblock standing in the way of becoming undisputed at 168 once again. Speaking to Ring Magazine, Canelo declared that he will never rematch WBA champion Munguia, who recently joined Team Canelo and began training under Eddy Reynoso.
“I am not going to fight Munguia again. No. We are in the same team, we like Munguia, he is a great person. He works very hard, we are never going to fight again.
“We are always looking for good fights, big fights, and I think there is other big fights out there.”
Jarrod Bowen, who has previously been linked with a move to Manchester United, has sent a clear message on Instagram after West Ham were relegated

West Ham United captain Jarrod Bowen has once again suggested he intends on bringing the Hammers back into the Premier League. Bowen found the net in side’s final match of the season.
Despite West Ham beating Leeds United 3-0, the 2023 Europa Conference League winners were relegated as a result of Tottenham beating Everton 1-0. Bowen was crestfallen when their first relegation since 2011 was confirmed.
When the match was ended, Bowen, who was recently linked with Manchester United, hit out at questions asking about his future in the capital. He then appeared to suggest he intends on returning to the Championship with West Ham.
In his post-match interview, he said: “I’m under contract here. I’ve been here six and a half years. I’ve had some really high moments and this is a low moment that will outweigh everything.
“There’s going to be rumours, there’s going to be talk. Ultimately, what I see is getting this club back in the Premier League because that is where it deserves to be.”
Today, he seemed to reinforce this message by taking to Instagram and writing: “It’s hard to post something like this when all you’re feeling is embarrassment and pain.

“I could write loads trying to explain where it all went wrong this season, but honestly what you deserve from me is an apology. Winning that trophy in Prague was the best night of my career. Sunday was the worst.

“We just weren’t good enough. Simple as that. And that’s why the season ended the way it did. To the fans, you didn’t let us down once.
“The support home and away never changed, even when things weren’t good enough from us on the pitch. We should have given you more. You deserved more.
“One thing I know about this club is that it has the desire and fight to bounce back from this. This club belongs in the Premier League and deserves to be back there as soon as possible.”

Bowen’s deal at the London Stadium does not expire until 2030. With relegation widely predicted to inflict a £100million dent into West Ham’s revenues cost, Bowen has been tipped to be sold, as have his team-mates Mateus Fernandes and Konstantinos Mavropanos.
Before the final round of Premier League fixtures, it was claimed by the Guardian United were pondering a move for the ex-Hull City ace, should the Hammers get relegated. Now their descent to the Championship is complete, many may be anticipating United to make an approach.

Startup dynasty fantasy football drafts are ongoing, and redraft leagues will get cracking in three months. During those events, it might be a decent idea to take a flyer on Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason.
Mason’s RB2 case depends on volume, efficiency, and whether Aaron Jones finally gives up touches.
The veteran tailback is on tap for RB1-RB2 duty in 2026, and he made a list of potential “sleepers” published by Fansided last week.

Minnesota’s Backfield Could Create Real Fantasy Value
Mason could be an undercover stud in 2026.

Fansided: Mason Is a Fantasy Sleeper
Justin Carter at Fansided tossed out eight sleepers for your upcoming drafts, and on Mason, he explained, “Mason’s first season with the Minnesota Vikings was solid. He rushed for a career-high six touchdowns and came close to his previous career high in rushing yards despite playing just 44 percent of Minnesota’s offensive snaps, with Aaron Jones serving as the team’s lead back for the 12 games Jones was healthy and active for.”
“Now, Jones is a year older. He has over 1,500 career carries. He missed time last year with a variety of injuries. And he’s backed up by one of, IMO, one of the best backup running backs in the league. This is a situation where fantasy managers could get a massive reward if the Vikings end up using Mason as the starting running back at some point.”
Carter continued, “There’s one issue that caps his upside a bit, though: he’s a complete non-factor as a receiver. Mason had 159 carries last year, but just 16 targets. That’s, uhh, a pretty big disparity, and it wasn’t a result of game planning.”
“Jones had 132 carries — fewer than Mason due to missing five games — but was still targeted 41 times. Still, in standard and even half-PPR, Mason is a great player to throw a dart at later in your fantasy draft.”
His 2025 Output
Advertisement
How productive was Mason in Year No. 1 with the Vikings? Quite is the answer. He logged 159 carries for 758 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns, paydirts that were ultra-refreshing because the 2024 Vikings almost refused to score rushing touchdowns altogether. Mason also caught 14 passes for 51 yards, a modest mark.
His problem? Attention. Touches. Emphasis. Like this year, Minnesota has Aaron Jones lined up to share the RB1-RB2 workload, a one-two punch of experience and dependability. Jones isn’t the type of guy teams put on the bench, so the pair basically coexist.
Had Mason been granted the touch load of an RB1 — like Travis Etienne, for example, in Jacksonville — in the arena of 260 rushing attempts, here’s what Mason’s stat line would look like:
When the offseason began in January, a large faction of Vikings fans expected the club to release Jones, who battled injuries in 2025 — and battles some form of injury nearly every season. Jones will be 32 this winter, and age-32 running backs aren’t often hot commodities.

But Jones accepted a paycut to stay in Minnesota, keeping in the mix for 2026. That flattened Mason’s broad outlook this season. Had Jones departed, Mason would’ve been the next man up by default and possibly a bellcow RB1.
Until it happens, Mason will encounter a familiar narrative: the guy just needs more rushing attempts. When he gets the ball, he chips off about 5 yards per carry. He can’t blossom as a true-blue RB1 unless he gets 200-300 carries.
The Fansided theory evidently operates on the pretense that Mason will get closer to RB1 duty, rather than the shared setup on the docket right now.

RotoBaller‘s Patrick McGrath on Mason: “With a healthier offensive line and improved quarterback play, his second season with the Vikings could be marginally more productive even if his role remains largely unchanged.”
“At 27 years old, Mason is RotoBaller’s dynasty RB52, and while the breakout calls have quieted, he is still capable of playing out the final year of his contract as an occasional flex option with notable insurance upside.”
Other Vikings Sleepers?
For fantasy football sake, the Vikings don’t have too many sleepers — everyone already knows that Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, and Kyler Murray are draftable.

But if push came to shove for a Vikings-themed fantasy sleeper list, it would probably look like this:
Second-year pass-catcher Tai Felton could bloom, too, but the probability of that shrank when interim general manager Rob Brzezinski signed Jennings.
Mason turned 27 on Sunday.

Elina Svitolina fought back to defeat Anna Bondár 3-6, 6-1, 7-6(3) in a dramatic first-round battle at the French Open.
She was down 1-3 in the deciding set and facing an opponent who had beaten her in their last two meetings, but somehow found another level when the match got tight.
The Rome champion once again showed why she is one of the toughest players on tour.

Svitolina has now won seven matches in a row and improves to an incredible 13-0 record in first-round matches at Roland Garros.
After the match, she joked about how many times she has faced Bondar.
“Anna, we played many times. I’m literally tired to play against her,” Svitolina said with a smile.

She also praised the crowd for helping her through the battle.
“These kind of battles are never easy… I’m really overwhelmed with emotions to be fair.”
The win gives Svitolina her 30th victory of the 2026 season as she continues her strong run on clay heading deeper into Paris.
Introduced by Update 3 in Build a Ring Farm, the Striped Starfruit is a valuable crop that belongs to the Exotic rarity. All players can obtain it for their farm without making seed rerolls because it has replaced the Horned Melon in the Seed Collector. A single unit of Striped Starfruit has a base sale value higher than most of the other Exotic-rarity crops, including Kiwi, Moonflower, and Passion Fruit.
Here’s everything to know about the Striped Starfruit in Build a Ring Farm.
Getting the Striped Starfruit seed in Build a Ring Farm
The Seed Collector (Image via Roblox)
There are a couple of ways to get the Striped Starfruit. Primarily, it can be acquired from the Seed Collector machine in the middle of the map. Any player can submit seeds in this machine, earn points, and reach milestones to unlock rewards.
Advertisement
A total of 180,000 points have to be earned to acquire a single Striped Starfruit seed. Notably, the rarity, level, and mutation of a seed submitted in the Seed Collector affect the number of earned points. You can easily gain thousands of points by depositing mutated seeds belonging to the Secret rarity.
Only 60,000 points can be amassed in a day. If you attempt to gain more points, the machine will refuse to accept any seeds.
To submit any seed, equip it, approach the Seed Collector, and hold the E key. The deposited seed will be converted into points. A bar at the top of the machine will move to indicate your progress to the final reward, which is the Striped Starfruit.
The Trucker Event (Image via Roblox)
Another method to get Striped Starfruit is the Trucker Event. When the event is active, the Trucker NPC arrives in a red truck and surveys the farms of all players on the server. It then grades these farms according to their number of upgrades, rarity of crops, and overall production value.
Trucker gives rewards based on the grades given to the farms. If you get an S+ rank, there is a high likelihood of the NPC rewarding you with rare seeds and items, such as the Cosmic Spray, Super Fertilizer, and Striped Starfruit seed.

A Striped Starfruit plant produces round fruits with green and yellow colors. At Level 1 and when possessing no mutations, a single unit of Striped Starfruit sells for a whopping 130,000 Cash. You can increase its sale value by using Cash on upgrades as well as sprays that offer mutations.
Cosmic mutation currently gives the highest multiplier. Apply this mutation on the Striped Starfruit by using a Cosmic Spray, which is an item purchasable from the Gear Shop and Plant Rush shop.
Compared to other Exotic-rarity crops, the Striped Starfruit is average. Its base sale value is surpassed by Pepper, Trucker’s Delight, Void Fruit, and Dragonfruit.
The Presidents’ Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche hoped to turn the tide in the 2026 Western Conference Final after losing the first two games at home with the return of two-time Norris Trophy winner Cale Makar and for 20 minutes in Game 3, it appeared they did. But the wheels came off after that, and now they must attempt to avoid being swept with the possibility of being without their Hart Trophy finalist.
With Nathan MacKinnon’s status uncertain due to an apparent knee injury, the Avalanche look to extend the series when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights for Game 4 at T-Mobile Arena on Tuesday. The 2026 Maurice Richard Trophy winner with a career-high 53 goals, MacKinnon was hit on the inside of his right knee while blocking a shot in the second period of Game 3 and played sparingly the rest of the way.
Fans who want to wager on the 2026 NHL Playoffs can use the latest BetMGM promo code.
Colorado was clinging to a 3-2 lead at the time of the injury after having scored three times in the opening period, obviously energized by the return of Makar after the defenseman missed the first two games of the series with an upper-body injury. MacKinnon notched an assist on captain Gabriel Landeskog’s goal 3:21 into the contest and Nazem Kadri doubled the lead less than four minutes later before Jack Drury scored while short-handed with 6:45 remaining in the session.

But the Golden Knights stormed back to even the game in the second, beginning with captain Mark Stone’s power-play goal 19 seconds in. Stone was back in the lineup after being sidelined for five contests with a lower-body injury.
William Karlsson and Keegan Kolesar also tallied in the middle period and Tomas Hertl snapped the 3-3 tie at 8:21 of the third before Brett Howden scored into an empty net in the final minute to seal the comeback victory and pull even with teammate Pavel Dorofeyev for the postseason lead with 10 goals.
Stone, Karlsson and Hertl each added an assist while Mitch Marner and defenseman Kaedan Korczak notched two apiece for Vegas, which is one win away from the third Stanley Cup Final appearance in the franchise’s nine-season history. The odds certainly are in the Golden Knights’ favor as teams facing a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series the round before the Stanley Cup Final are 0-49 all-time.
Ivan Barbashev has scored two goals and set up another in the series for Vegas, Howden has tallied twice and Marner collected three assists. Marner leads all players this postseason with 21 points while Jack Eichel, who along with Hertl has a goal and two assists against the Avalanche, is second with 18.
Landeskog has produced two of Colorado’s six goals in the conference final while Kadri and Ross Colton both have recorded a tally and an assist. Blue-liner Devon Toews leads the team with three points – all assists – in the series.
Despite MacKinnon’s questionable status, the NHL betting odds at the major sportsbooks see the Avalanche as favorites in Game 4, as they are listed at -115 on the money line. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights are priced at about -105. Learn how to read betting odds here.

Whether it be because of the absence of Makar or the caliber of their opponent or both, the Avalanche did not resemble the team that went 8-1 over the first two rounds of the postseason. They appeared to be back on track after one period of Game 3, but things went sideways. Even if MacKinnon is in the lineup on Tuesday, he likely won’t be at full strength and Colorado’s morale has to be at an all-time low following the team’s collapse on Sunday. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights are 18-4-1 overall since John Tortorella replaced Bruce Cassidy as head coach in late March and 2-0 this postseason when they’ve had the opportunity to close out a series. I like their record in that situation to remain unblemished.
Pavel Dorofeyev Over 0.5 points (-135, BetMGM)
Dorofeyev had his six-game point streak halted in Game 3, thanks in part to a somewhat controversial call. The 25-year-old Russian right wing had an apparent first-period goal waved off as the officials ruled he batted the puck into the net with his hand and the decision was upheld after video review, although the puck appeared to hit the shaft of his stick in one camera angle. Nevertheless, Dorofeyev has landed on the scoresheet in nine of his last 12 postseason contests and I believe he’ll do so again in Game 4.
