The ICC is set to hold its annual conference week in Singapore, which will commence on Sunday with a meeting of the Chief Executives Committee (CEC) and conclude with the inauguration of Sharad Pawar as the seventh ICC president. Pawar will succeed David Morgan who finishes his two-year term next week. The ICC executive board is also set to discuss the nomination of John Howard for the role of vice-president, which has been marred by controversy with a number of boards opposing his candidature.Since his days as Australia’s prime minister, Howard has endured a torrid relationship with Zimbabwe cricket, often being a vocal critic of Robert Mugabe’s regime. South Africa and Zimbabwe initially expressed their opposition to Howard’s nomination, and they were later joined by Sri Lanka, leaving him vulnerable to being disqualified. Howard recently met with ZC chairman Peter Chingoka and managing director Ozias Bvute in a “friendly, constructive and frank” exchange of ideas, following which there are indications that Zimbabwe may change their stand on the issue.”A section of the international media has erroneously created the impression that we have been at the forefront of a motion to block Mr Howard’s nomination. This is not only maliciously incorrect but also ignores the fact that our structures dictate that such a decision can only be taken by the ZC Board which is in fact still to meet and state a position on the matter,” Bvute said.Bvute also indicated that past tensions are unlikely to influence Zimbabwe’s final decision. “We are not vindictive people regardless of how badly we have been portrayed and treated in the past. Our concern has and always will be the welfare of the game. Our final decision and vote will be guided by what is in the best interest of cricket in this country.”Chingoka however, was non-commital on the issue. “I don’t have much to say, we had a friendly discussion, it was very constructive, we were very honest and frank with each other. The matter will be discussed by the ICC, so I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to say any more,” he was quoted in the .Another pressing issue that will be addressed at the CEC meeting is to do with the Future Tours Programme (FTP) for the period of 2012-20, in particular the introduction of greater context and content for international cricket. The subject has already been under consideration by a working group consisting David Collier (England and Wales), Nishantha Ranatunga (Sri Lanka), N Srinivasan (India), James Sutherland (Australia) and Dave Richardson (ICC general manager – cricket). An ICC event covering both the Test and ODI formats is likely to be discussed.The ICC executive board will also receive a recommendation from the CEC on the implementation of the decision review system across the board in Test cricket, as well as in the 2011 World Cup. Additionally, the CEC will consider and recommend to the board the eligibility rules and the stand-out period for moving from Associate to Full Member status.The executive board will receive updates on the formulation of the ICC strategy for the period 2011-2015, and the design of mandatory safety and security regulations drawn up by Security Task Force, chaired by Lord Paul Condon, set-up following the Lahore attack last year.The board will also consider Seychelles’ application for Affiliate Membership of ICC. If successful, Seychelles will become the 105th Member of the ICC. Meanwhile, the ICC Associate and Affiliate Members will nominate their ICC executive board director representatives, who serve a two-year term, at their meeting on 28 June 2010.The schedule of meetings is as follows:Chief Executives’ Committee: June 27 and 28
Associate Members: June 28
ICC Executive Board: June 29 and 30
IDI Board: June 30
Annual Conference: July 1
The ICC board meetings will be attended by the the ICC president, vice-president and chief executive, in addition to representatives from the ten Full Members and three Associate Member representatives. The full list of attendees is as follows:David Morgan (ICC president), Sharad Pawar (ICC vice-president), Haroon Lorgat (ICC chief executive), Ijaz Butt (Pakistan), Julian Hunte (West Indies), Peter Chingoka (Zimbabwe), Giles Clarke (England and Wales), Jack Clarke (Australia), Alan Isaac (New Zealand), Mustapha Kemal (Bangladesh), Shashank Manohar (India), Mtutuzeli Nyoka (South Africa), DS de Silva (Sri Lanka) and three Associate Member representatives (TBD on June 28)

Leeds: Phil Hay makes Summerville claim

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa’s ‘preference’ was always to keep hold of Crysencio Summerville in the January transfer window, according to reliable journalist Phil Hay.

The Lowdown: Summerville stays put

The 20-year-old has enjoyed some sporadic minutes for the Whites this season, making five appearances in the Premier League along with three domestic cup outings. He has been hailed as ‘excellent’ by some Leeds fans and was also dubbed a “bag of tricks” by Chris Powell, who is currently part of Gareth Southgate’s England coaching ticket.

Summerville was linked with a loan move away from Elland Road last month but he ended up staying put, despite being approached by a number of clubs.

A fresh update regarding the young winger has now emerged, making the situation a little clearer.

[freshpress-quiz id=“383507″]

The Latest: Hay says Bielsa wanted to keep Summerville

Taking to Twitter on Monday, Hay claimed that Bielsa always wanted Summerville to remain at Leeds, even though potential replacements were lined up.

The journalist tweeted: “Bielsa’s preference in the window was to keep Summerville. The reason for the sudden links to Minamino/Kenedy etc was because of the possibility that Summerville would go late on. Bielsa taking the same stance he did with Drameh.”

The Verdict: Where will minutes come his way?

While it is pleasing to see such faith shown in Summerville, the only issue now is whether or not he will earn sufficient playing time at Leeds between now and May.

He still hasn’t started in the league this season, and with Raphinha, Jack Harrison and Dan James all ahead of him in the pecking order at Elland Road, it is hard to see that changing.

It could be that a loan move would have ended up being more beneficial for Summerville in terms of his development, but the definitive judgement on that can be made in the next few months.

Darren Stevens put the skids under Somerset after Kent had won the toss on the opening day of the County Championship match at Taunton. The hosts looked to have seen off the new ball and moved into a comfortable position when reaching 101 for 1 on a green pitch, but then lost six wickets for 17 runs either side of lunch.Medium-pacer Stevens had figures of 4 for 21 from 10.4 overs when rain set in early in the afternoon with Somerset struggling on 122 for 7. The pitch always looked likely to assist the seamers, but Marcus Trescothick and Arul Suppiah still put together an opening stand of 64 before they were parted in the 14th over.Trescothick was lbw for 27 pushing forward to Stevens, who was in his first over. The Somerset skipper had hit five fours in a typically positive innings. Jos Buttler joined Suppiah and the pair had taken the score to 101 in the 23rd over when Suppiah’s dismissal sparked a dramatic slump. The opener drove without getting to the pitch of the ball and was caught at point by Joe Denly off Simon Cook for 34.Two more wickets fell without addition to the total. Buttler was caught at second slip off Stevens for 20 and, two balls later, James Hildreth edged the same bowler to wicketkeeper Geraint Jones. Craig Kieswetter’s disappointing form with the bat continued when he lifted a catch to cover and departed for six to give Stevens his fourth wicket.It was 116 for 6 when Peter Trego was picked up at second slip by Martin van Jaarsveld off Amad Khan, who then had Ben Phillips caught behind for a duck with only two added to the score. Somerset had lost six wickets in 10 overs and it was something of a relief for the home dressing room when rain fell heavily with the scored on 122 for 7. It was the second time the players had been forced off and this time it was more than a shower.Zander de Bruyn, who had watched much of the carnage from the other end, was unbeaten on 7 and vice-captain Alfonso Thomas on 4. The second rain break came at 2.25pm and at 5pm umpires Michael Gough and Neil Bainton decided no further play would be possible.

Chelsea eye up move for Max Kilman

Chelsea are interested in signing Wolves centre-back Max Kilman in the summer transfer window, according to a new report which has emerged.

The Lowdown: Kilman superb for Wolves

Bruno Lage’s side picked up yet another important Premier League victory on Sunday afternoon, winning 2-1 at home to Leicester City.

Kilman was again superb at the heart of Wolves’ defence, as he continues a fantastic season which has seen him start all 24 league games and average a whopping 3.7 clearances per game.

The 24-year-old’s performances are likely to make him a man in demand come the summer transfer window, with a fresh update suggesting as much.

The Latest: Chelsea eye up move for Kilman

According to talkSPORT, Chelsea are keen on signing Kilman at the end of the season, with the Wolves hero a boyhood Blues supporter.

The media outlet tweeted an emerging news story on Monday morning, revealing to followers: “BREAKING: Chelsea are considering a move for Wolves defender Max Kilman. Chelsea’s scouts have watched Kilman, a boyhood Chelsea fan, in recent weeks.”

The Verdict: Potential huge loss

Kilman has been an integral part of Wolves’ success this season, excelling on the right of back-three, so the idea of losing him to a Premier League rival is a concerning one.

He has been hailed as ‘outstanding’ by team-mate and Old Gold captain Conor Coady, and at 24, the best years of his career should still be to come.

The lure of playing for his boyhood team could be too much to turn down for Kilman, which is a concern, but the hope is that he still sees his future at Wolves, where he is earning constant starts and is clearly a favourite of Lage.

His current deal doesn’t expire until 2026, though, which does at least mean that Wanderers can demand huge money for one of their most prized assets.

Aprovado em 1º por Jair, lateral tem trunfos para agarrar chance no Peixe

MatériaMais Notícias

No vestibular do Santos, o lateral-direito Daniel Guedes já foi o primeiro colocado. Mesmo jogando pouco, o jovem de 23 anos já foi alvo do técnico Jair Ventura. Na época, o então treinador do Botafogo pediu pelo ala por mais de uma vez. Mas só neste domingo, às 17h, contra o Palmeiras, no Allianz Parque, Daniel poderá usufruir da boa aprovação que teve no ano passado, já que Victor Ferraz tem uma luxação no ombro.

Como em todo vestibular, a pressão é grande, mas nessa prova o camisa 38 pretende acertar tudo.

-Em minha visão, segue a mesma (pressão). É jogar bem, mostra-se preparado e apresentar o meu valor dentro de campo. E claro, afirmar ao Jair que ele estava correto com relação à observação sobre meu trabalho na base e no profissional – diz Daniel Guedes, ao L!, antes da fase final da prova.

Quando a matéria é enfrentar o Palmeiras, o lateral-direito mostra conhecimento. Nas duas vezes em que enfrentou o rival, saiu como vencedor. A última, foi fora de casa, no palco do clássico deste domingo. Nos oito clássicos que disputou, só perdeu uma vez e venceu o restante.

Por isso, o Menino da Vila não deve passar apuros e deve seguir o caminho das pedras na prova que pode definir sua temporada.

-No último confronto, funcionou. E também nos mostrou muitas coisas por esse caminho das pedras. No geral, é saber a aproveitar a ou as oportunidades e segurar a pressão ofensiva deles, que estarão motivados por ser o primeiro clássico do ano e pela presença da torcida – completa.

Calejado por outros testes na “escola” em que foi formado, Daniel não precisa de uma preparação diferente para encarar o rival mais incômodo do Peixe nas últimas temporadas. O que o já experiente Guedes garante precisar é de uma oportunidade com o novo comandante.

Inclusive, o clássico será seu primeiro jogo no ano já que Victor Ferraz jogou mesmo machucado nos minutos finais da partida contra o Ituano.

-A atmosfera de jogo muda. Com isso, vem mais concentração e responsabilidade. Sei o que representa um clássico para o Santos, por estar há tantos anos já no clube. E por isso, foco muito na partida, para que possa ter um bom desempenho e principalmente, não errar. E vem dando certo. Espero que a invencibilidade siga.

No teste de Jair, Daniel Guedes pode conquistar a tão sonhada vaga como titular. Prepare-se, o portão já vai fechar.
