Wash-out at New Road caps Middlesex's return to top flight

No play possible on final day of season, but promotion was already assured

Middlesex’s promotion to Division One of the LV=Insurance County Championship was confirmed after rain washed out the final day of the encounter with Worcestershire at New Road.They had effectively made sure of finishing in the top two after accruing a maximum haul of five batting points on the third day.Today’s blank meant Middlesex collected the additional eight points for a share of the spoils which ensured they finished ahead of nearest challengers Glamorgan.They will be part of the top flight in 2023 along with Division Two champions Nottinghamshire.Middlesex won six of their 14 games and, after a mid-season run of five matches without a win, returned to form with perfect timing on the return of red-ball cricket in September.A 10-wicket win over Glamorgan at Lord’s proved crucial in the final analysis before an 80-run success away to Leicestershire was followed by the required points haul at New Road.It was during this game that opener Mark Stoneman and wicket-keeper-batter John Simpson completed 1,000 runs for the season while Toby Roland-Jones surpassed his previous best wicket haul in a campaign from a decade ago and ended with 67 scalps.For Worcestershire, they will reflect on what might have been with their red-ball form in contrast to a woeful campaign in the Vitality Blast and Royal London Cup.There were in contention for promotion for much of the summer and there are plenty of green shoots of optimism to suggest they may mount a stronger challenge in 12 months time.Pakistan batter Azhar Ali is returning for a second season as overseas player and has been a big influence on the progression of some of the promising youngsters, most notably Jack Haynes.Dillon Pennington has also developed into a more consistent and potent force with the ball while left armer Ben Gibbon showed plenty of promise in his first season as a professional cricketer.They have also recruited Yorkshire all-rounder Matthew Waite and Warwickshire batter Adam Hose on three year deals to strengthen their squad.But it was a soggy end to Ed Barnard’s career at New Road before he heads up the M5 to join Warwickshire after establishing himself as a top six batter for Worcestershire and finishing as their leading run scorer in 2022.

Leeds must regret selling 20-goal ace who could have been their own Buendia

Leeds United have garnered a reputation for not being flash spenders during the winter transfer market in recent years with this quiet window being no exception to that rule.

This time last year, the promotion-chasing Whites only welcomed Connor Roberts through the door on a disappointing loan switch.

In 2025, no deals were clinched by Daniel Farke and Co ahead of the crucial Championship promotion run-in to follow.

Consequently, this could well leave the West Yorkshire side a little short on numbers in some positions of the pitch, with a lack of depth perhaps hurting them moving forward in the number ten spot.

Leeds were interested in adding some more personnel to this area according to reports…

Leeds' chase of Emiliano Buendia

Indeed, Farke would have loved for a reunion to take place for Emiliano Buendia to move away from Aston Villa to the high-flying Whites, having been a transformative figure for the Argentine attacker at Norwich City.

Across their celebrated time together in Norfolk, the South American ace picked up a stunning 24 goals and 41 assists in total, culminating in two promotion successes up to the Premier League.

Therefore, it would have been a no-brainer for Farke to try and get his hands on Buendia again, with reports linking him with a move throughout the window. The 28-year-old’s uplifting presence alongside the likes of Joel Piroe and Wilfried Gnonto would no doubt have helped Leeds seal a return to the top flight.

But, in the end, Buendia joined Bayer Leverkusen on loan instead, as the Whites boss was left with a feeling of what could have been.

Frustratingly for the promotion-chasers, they could have already had their own version of the ex-Norwich star…

The player who could have been Leeds' very own Buendia

Even the most ardent Leeds fan might struggle to remember Mateusz Bogusz’s stop-start time at Elland Road looking back, considering the Polish midfielder only ever made three first-team appearances.

Often chucked out on loan instead of being given his big break in the Whites senior fold, there will be a slight regret in the air now that Leeds didn’t try a bit harder to gift him more chances to shine before offloading him for good, especially when you look at how he’s developed since exiting the club.

Bogusz would become a different beast altogether when signing for LAFC in the MLS straight after his underwhelming stay in Yorkshire, with a staggering 31 goal contributions coming his way last season from 48 clashes.

Capable of playing all across the forward positions too – with one of his preferred spots being that number ten spot Buendia has thrived in – the 23-year-old could well have been an ideal alternative for Farke to rely upon.

Former Leeds midfielder Mateusz Bogusz.

After all, the exciting 5 foot 9 talent was labelled as a “dangerous” attacker by football journalist Greg Beacham during the peak of his powers in Los Angeles, with Bogusz now moving on to Cruz Azul to further advance his career.

Of course, the gulf in quality is there between the American game and the high-stakes pressures of the English game, but there will be a lingering regret still that Bogusz wasn’t given a fair crack of the whip.

With no Bogusz or Buendia to call upon, Farke will just have to keep everything crossed that Brenden Aaronson doesn’t fall victim to fatigue as his team’s only out-and-out number ten.

What might Australia look like at the 2024 T20 World Cup?

Cummins’ decision comes just weeks after he was elevated to the captaincy of Australia’s one-day team, meaning he will likely feature in more white-ball series before next year’s global event.”I’ve made the difficult decision to miss next years IPL,” Cummins tweeted. “The international schedule is packed with Tests and ODI’s for the next 12 months, so will take some rest ahead of an Ashes series and World Cup.”When factoring in all Tests this summer as well as one-day and T20 series on the road in 2023, Australia’s players have up to 106 days of international cricket in the next 12 months.That figure includes a possible World Test Championship final in London with Australia currently top of the table, as well as the semi-finals and final of next year’s ODI World Cup.Australia’s big 12 months

The problem is most significant for fast bowlers Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, and allrounder Cameron Green who will each play against England in ODIs this week.David Warner, Alex Carey, Steven Smith, Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne also play across both red and white-ball formats, meaning nine of Australia’s top XI are now regulars in both the Test and one-day teams.Australia’s selections for this week’s matches have also shown selectors want to give players as much match preparation as possible for next year’s World Cup.Virtually all cricket in the next 12 months is either in the form of Test or 50-over matches, with three T20s against South Africa next August the sole exception.The topic of quick turnarounds between series has been a point of contention for players, with England allrounder Moeen Ali lamenting the fact his team must play again just four days after a World Cup triumph.”It’s been happening for a while,” Moeen told reporters after England’s T20 triumph on Sunday. “When we won the World Cup in 2019, we had an Ashes game two weeks later and we had a Test match against Ireland about 10 days later.”Those kind of things are a shame. As a group we want to enjoy and celebrate and have that [time] because you put so much into it. Having a game in three days’ time, it’s horrible.”

Leeds reporter shares development over permanent Manor Solomon transfer

A Leeds United reporter has revealed what he’s heard coming out of the club over a move to sign Manor Solomon on a long-term deal this summer.

Leeds United transfer news

Daniel Farke and his Leeds side still have plenty of games ahead of them before they can concentrate fully on the summer transfer window. But given how they have played all season, they look on course to seal a return to the Premier League, and that has resulted in plenty of transfer talk in recent days and weeks.

Not just Harry Gray: Academy stars setting Leeds up for sustainable success

The Whites are flying in the Championship.

ByBen Goodwin Feb 18, 2025

The Yorkshire side was very quiet during January, but it is expected to be a busy summer, especially if promotion is secured. In the last week or so, it’s been reported that Leeds have held internal talks over the signing of James McAtee from Manchester City. The midfielder is struggling to nail down a regular spot, and his future could be decided in the summer if that doesn’t change between now and the end of the campaign.

It’s also been claimed that Leeds may consider signing Conor Coady from Leicester City in the summer, as Farke eyes defensive reinforcements.

The centre-back has struggled for consistent game time since moving to the King Power Stadium and could be available for cheap in the summer, when he enters the final 12 months of his contract.

Leeds update on permanent Solomon transfer

As well as the Whites looking at players from other clubs, they are also keeping an open mind about their current loan star, with reports suggesting he and the club could be open to a permanent transfer.

However, according to Leeds Live’s Isaac Johnson, Leeds are undecided whether to pursue a permanent move for Solomon at the end of the season.

Solomon joined the Whites on a season-long loan deal in the summer, with no option to make the deal into a permanent switch. Therefore, if Leeds want the player to remain at Elland Road, they will need to agree to a transfer fee with Tottenham. Solomon has become a key player under Farke, and his popularity among the fanbase has grown with him “very happy” at the club, but that could drive the price tag higher.

And Leeds are unsure over a permanent switch, partly because they don’t yet know which league they will be playing in next season. Furthermore, it is unclear what Solomon’s stance is on staying at Leeds for the long term, and they have also yet to understand Spurs’ stance on selling the winger.

The 25-year-old has only played six times for Spurs, and with them bringing in new attacking players in the last couple of transfer windows, Solomon’s future at the Premier League club looks all but over.

Leeds will know that sealing promotion to the Premier League gives them the best chance of signing the player on a permanent basis. The winger has fitted into Farke’s system rather well, and with Wilfred Gnonto’s future very much up in the air, keeping Solomon may be something Leeds have to do.

Rangers considering "fantastic" 4-2-3-1 coach as next permanent manager

Rangers have considered hiring a “fantastic” manager who could be Barry Ferguson’s permanent successor at Ibrox, according to an update from journalist Ben Jacobs.

Rangers appoint Ferguson as interim manager

It has been a dramatic day or so for the Gers after the sacking of Philippe Clement on Sunday evening, following the dour 2-0 defeat at home to St. Mirren, in yet another poor Scottish Premiership result.

Rangers are in no rush to bring in a permanent successor to the 50-year-old, with Ferguson confirmed as interim manager until the end of the campaign. The former Gers captain is a potentially popular option to come in and fill the void for the time being, given his knowledge and passion for the club.

Barry Ferguson

Meanwhile, a reunion with Steven Gerrard looks possible in the summer, with the former manager seen as one of the favourites to come in permanently. Fabrizio Romano has admitted it is far from nailed-on, however, saying: “At the moment nothing has been decided, so let’s keep all options open. The club is assessing options to replace Clement but nothing direct yet with Gerrard or his camp.”

Other candidates are clearly going to emerge for Rangers in the near future as they plan for life after Ferguson, and another name has now been thrown into the hat.

Rangers eyeing "fantastic" 4-2-3-1 manager

According to Jacobs for Give Me Sport, Rangers considered David Wagner as an option to replace Clement before they opted for their former skipper as a safe pair of hands, putting him firmly in the mix to get the gig in the summer presuming Ferguson does not do enough to earn a long-term stay.

David Wagner Huddersfield Town

Wagner is an impressive manager who could be a strong choice for Rangers, now possessing a huge amount of experience at a high level, not least guiding Huddersfield Town from the Championship to the Premier League back in 2017.

The 53-year-old has been lauded by Sky Sports pundit Andy Hinchcliffe in the past, even comparing him to friend and managerial legend Jurgen Klopp: “Nobody had really heard of David Wagner before he came into the club. But the philosophy he has instilled of hard work, of having the right characters as well as good players is fantastic, and you can see the team really want to play for him as well.

“He is the Championship’s Jurgen Klopp. That’s what he is. I know they are good friends but that’s what he is, it’s extraordinary.”

49ers will love him: Rangers must hire "fantastic" manager who knows Wilson

As pressure mounts on Philippe Clement, the new 49ers ownership group at Rangers should look to hire “fantastic” out of work manager as replacement.

ByBen Gray Feb 24, 2025

While some Rangers fans may like the idea of Gerrard returning to Ibrox, the 4-2-3-1-playing Wagner arguably represents a more proven option – the former recently left Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq after a forgettable spell in charge – so there would be plenty of sense in them striking a deal for Wagner instead.
