Amir, Sohail pull out of England tour due to personal reasons

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir and middle-order batsman Haris Sohail on Thursday pulled out of the upcoming England tour due to personal reasons.

"Amir has withdrawn so that he can be at the birth of his second child in August, while Haris will miss the tour because of family reasons," said the PCB in a statement.


"Pakistan will send 28 players and 14 player support personnel for three Tests and three T20Is to be played in August and September. The squad as well as pre-series and series schedule will be announced in due course," it added.

Earlier in the week, the PCB cancelled a players' training camp at the National Cricket Academy due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country.

Instead, the PCB asked its English counterpart ECB to prepare an itinerary which allows the Pakistan team to reach London early in June. The squad was originally scheduled to land in the UK on July 6.

Pakistan are scheduled to play three Tests and three ODIs against England in August and will be required to complete the quarantine period.

Manchester City are guilty on 114 charges, and still top of the table

Highlights

  • Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 of the 115 Premier League financial charges brought against them, first reported by David Ornstein of The Athletic
  • The charges relate to alleged breaches between 2009 and 2018, including inaccurate financial reporting and undisclosed manager and player pay
  • Sanctions have not yet been decided; City are expected to appeal
  • The verdict lands while City sit top of the Premier League table, unbeaten after five games under new head coach Enzo Maresca

Manchester City have been found guilty on all but one of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League, in a verdict that took almost two years to arrive — and lands at the exact moment the club looks least like one in crisis.

What City were found guilty of

The charges, first laid in February 2023 after a four-year Premier League investigation, cover alleged breaches between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons. They include failing to provide accurate financial information for nine seasons, failing to disclose full details of manager and player remuneration — including former manager Roberto Mancini's pay — for six seasons, and failing to cooperate fully with the Premier League's investigation between 2018 and 2023. An independent commission heard the case over ten weeks between September and December 2024, but took a further 21 months to deliver its verdict.
