Ben Stokes skips England’s T20 World Cup this summer
After bowling in the final Test in India last month, Stokes appeared poised to be selected as an all-rounder for the Twenty20 World Cup, a result that Matthew Mott, England's white-ball coach, had anticipated and planned for. Stokes has determined, however, that his priorities lie elsewhere, given his status as Test team captain and the fact that the team will face West Indies and Sri Lanka in two three-match Test series during the summer.
New Zealand allows gymnastics shorts over leotards
The governing body stated that the modifications were implemented in response to a survey of more than two hundred competitive gymnasts, which revealed that the athletes desired to "feel safe and comfortable" in the sport.

Tszyu bloodied, Fundora claims world title belts
Following a sapping loss to towering American Sebastian Fundora, Tim Tszyu's ruthless attempt to emulate his legendary father, Kostya and become a unified world boxing champion was mercilessly thwarted. At T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Tszyu conceded his vacant WBC super welterweight and WBO super welterweight belts after suffering his first loss in twenty-five bouts. As a result, he could not secure a position among the sport's elite.

RamÃrez’s goal advances Chelsea in WCL, despite Ajax’s comeback
Emma Hayes, the manager, acknowledged the test and expressed satisfaction with the significantly transformed Chelsea squad. She stated, "They were capable of scoring; we had the ability to score more in the first half." "However, anticipation of disruption is necessary when so many modifications are implemented… [With a 4-0 lead] we began to ease up. It is now concluded; I will return to that."

Michelle Mone’s Monbeg Genius withdraws from Grand National
When the weights for the National were released in February, Monbeg Genius was among the favorites, having completed a solid preliminary trial for Aintree in early December when it finished a noteworthy 10-length third in the Coral Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury. Nevertheless, earlier this month, he performed unfavorably in two consecutive outings, one at Kelso and the other at the Cheltenham Festival. By Tuesday morning, his odds had dropped to approximately 40-1.
Wiegman sees coach-player relationships as ‘highly inappropriate’
Several WSL managers have commented on the matter, with Jonas Eidevall of Arsenal and Carla Ward of Aston Villa describing coach-player relationships as "extremely inappropriate" and "unacceptable," respectively. When asked whether the Football Association or NewCo, which will assume control of England's top two divisions beginning next season, should prohibit such relationships, Wiegman responded in the negative.
Chelsea punish West Ham for misses to top WSL
Erin Cuthbert and Aggie Beever-Jones penalised a tenacious West Ham for their carelessness in the final third as Chelsea retook the Women's Super League lead over Manchester City with a 2-0 victory. The match was far from straightforward for the visiting Blues; in fact, it could have been an even more tense affair had Honoka Hayashi's attempt not been wrongfully flagged offside within 15 minutes.
Hamilton calls season worst after Australian Grand Prix exit
Toto Wolff, team principal at Mercedes and seven-time champion, offered a similarly candid evaluation, characterising the situation as excruciatingly agonising.
