African Football Confederation Supports FIFA President Gianni Infantino

The Iranian women's taekwondo team has intensified its preparations for the 2026 Asian Paralympic Games, which will be held in Nagoya. Officials are closely monitoring the national team's training camp.

Ghafour Kargari, President of the Iranian National Paralympic Committee, visited the women's national para-taekwondo training camp at the Iran Taekwondo House. During the visit, he met with Hadi Afshar, Secretary of the Iranian Taekwondo Federation.

The head coach of the women's national team, Atefeh Keshavarz, along with Zahra Rahimi, a silver medalist from the 2024 Paris Paralympics, and other athletes on the squad shared their plans, concerns, and opinions with their colleagues.

They stated: 'We continue training with great enthusiasm and readiness, and we hope that by maintaining this pace, we can achieve good results for our country at the Asian Paralympic Games in Nagoya.'

Debates about who is the greatest player of all time are constantly taking place in the world of cricket. Many cricket experts consider the legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar to be the most outstanding player. However, Australian fast bowler veteran Brett Lee has introduced a new twist to this discussion.

Brett Lee recognized Sachin Tendulkar as the best batsman in the world. Nevertheless, when it came to the best all-rounder, he chose South African all-rounder Jacques Kallis.

During a recent interview on 'The Ranveer Show' (TRS), Brett Lee highly praised Kallis's achievements. He stated that while in his eyes the best batsman is Sachin Tendulkar, if it comes to the best all-rounder in cricket, it is Jacques Kallis. In his opinion, Kallis's statistics demonstrate that he is the best in the world because numbers never lie, and his record is incredible.

Kallis played for South Africa from 1995 to 2014. During this period, he scored 13,289 runs in Tests and 11,579 runs in One Day Internationals. Furthermore, he took 292 wickets in Tests and 273 wickets in One Day Internationals. Brett Lee and Kallis played together for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL. Kallis was also part of the team that won the title in 2012 under the leadership of Gautam Gambhir.

Sachin Tendulkar played for India for 24 years. He is the batsman who has scored the highest number of runs in both Test and One Day formats. Brett Lee had the opportunity to play many memorable matches against both players, Sachin and Kallis. In Tests, Sachin scored 15,921 runs, and in One Day Internationals, 18,426 runs.

During the conversation, Brett Lee also highly praised Virat Kohli. Recalling Virat's early years, he noted that he saw a special fire and challenge in young Kohli. Commenting on critics who question Virat's current form, Brett Lee advised them not to pay attention to rumors. He emphasized that if Virat does not score runs in a match, people start talking about the end of his era, but this, according to him, is nonsense. He urged people to look at his record, which he believes is unprecedented, and noted that there is still much cricket left in Kohli.

Jack Libby, who consistently scores runs in domestic cricket, has achieved significant success. The right-handed batsman has surpassed Indian star Rituraj Gaikwad in the List-A average.

This success is particularly important for Libby, as despite impressive performances in domestic cricket, he has yet to debut for the England national team. He is 33 years old but continues to await an invitation from the English side.

Libby's average is now the highest among batsmen who have played at least 50 matches in List-A. Libby has played 56 List-A matches, featuring in 53 innings and scoring 2456 runs, while remaining on the field 13 times. This has brought his List-A average to 61.40. In this format, Libby has also recorded six centuries.

Libby's ability to play long innings has propelled him to the top of this list. As for Rituraj, he ranks second with a List-A average of 58.61. Rituraj has played 104 List-A matches, scoring 5334 runs, including 21 centuries and 20 half-centuries.

Although there is a large difference between the careers of both players, Rituraj has played almost twice as many matches as Jack Libby and has over five thousand runs. Nevertheless, in terms of average, the English batsman currently leads him. Rituraj has always been one of the most reliable batsmen in Indian domestic cricket. His List-A average above 58 demonstrates his consistency.

Thanks to this performance, he has made it into the Indian squad. Unlike him, Jack Libby's career has taken a different turn: despite impressive domestic cricket, he has failed to earn the England captaincy. Now, by achieving the highest List-A average, his statistics have once again attracted attention.

The main question facing Jack Libby concerns his international career. At 33 years old, breaking into the England national team is difficult, as selectors have many young options. However, ignoring his statistics is also difficult.
