When Muzaffer Kayasan first caught COVID-19, he thought he was destined to die since he was already suffering from leukemia. Fourteen months and 78 straight positive tests later, he is still alive – and still battling to shake off the infection. Kayasan, 56, has Turkey’s longest recorded continuous COVID-19 infection, doctors say, possibly due to a weakened immune system from the cancer. Despite being in and out of hospital since November 2020, his spirits have been high. “I guess this is the female version of COVID – she has been obsessed with me,” Kayasan joked last week as he found…

MUMBAI: India will use the three-match home series against West Indies to identify players for this year’s Twenty20 World Cup in Australia and work towards building a bigger talent pool, captain Rohit Sharma said on Tuesday. The hosts take on West Indies at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens in a series starting from Wednesday after blanking their Caribbean opponents 3-0 in 50-overs matches in Ahmedabad. “The idea is to identify the players who are going to play the World Cup and give them the game time,” Rohit, who replaced Virat Kohli as skipper in white-ball formats, told reporters. “There are a lot…

PSL matches are eventful but Ben Cutting and Sohail Tanvir made Tuesday’s Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators match one of the funniest this PSL season. Both players flipped each other off during the match, leaving spectators and Twitter users in fits. What you may not know is that the two go way back, precisely four years back when Tanvir stuck his middle fingers up at Cutting during a Caribbean Premier League match. Tuesday’s match was payback time for Cutting. What happened? In the 22nd match of the season Zalmi and the Gladiators faced off in Lahore. The toss was won by Zalmi…
American Olympic great Simone Biles said it was “THE EASIEST YES” when her fellow elite athlete Jonathan Owens popped the question on Valentine’s Day. “I can’t wait to spend forever and ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! Let’s get married FIANCE,” the excited gymnast posted on Instagram. Biles, 24, and Houston Texans safety Owens, 26, have been dating for nearly two years. Owens took a knee in a set of photos the most decorated gymnast of all time shared on Twitter and Instagram. They were in a gazebo, and Biles was dressed all the way up…
LAHORE: Marking his return as a replacement, Will Smeed made instant impact. But his heroic 99 couldn’t get Quetta Gladiators past the line. Instead, it was Peshawar Zalmi who recorded a 24-run victory at the Gaddafi Stadium to move two points clear of the Gladiators in the HBL Pakistan Super League standings — leapfrogging their opponents into the final playoff spot — after Smeed had threatened to take the game away from them. Despite wickets tumbling around him, it seemed as if Smeed, who replaced Ben Duckett, would singlehandedly guide the Gladiators to victory but once he chopped on Salman…
Australia fast bowler Michael Neser has been all but ruled out of next month’s tour of Pakistan after his domestic team Queensland said on Wednesday that the 31-year-old had suffered a side strain, with no date set for his return. Queensland said Neser picked up the injury in their Marsh One-Day Cup loss to New South Wales on Monday and underwent scans late on Tuesday. “It’s bad luck for Michael and we’re hoping he makes a speedy recovery,” Queensland coach Wade Seccombe said. Neser, who earned his first test cap during the Ashes, was included in Australia’s squad for the three-Test series…
