Mallía, the full-back, was forced off late on with what is thought to be an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which meant Argentina, who had used all their replacements, had to finish the match with 14 men.“How old is he?” said Contepomi of Curry. “Twenty-seven? And strong. And I am 48 and he comes and just [shoves me]. I was standing there. He was coming in to say hi to one of our coaches, but we said no because we were upset. I said: ‘Man, you broke his knee,’ and he said: ‘Fuck off,’ and pushed me like that. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/nov/23/england-argentina-rugby-union-felipe-contepomi-tom-curry">Continue reading...</a>

تأثرت استعدادات إنجلترا لكأس العالم T20 المقبلة بسبب تأخيرات في تأشيرات اللاعبين السبينر أديل راشد وريهان أحمد، اللذين لهما أصول باكستانية. لم يصدر الحكومة الهندية بعد تأشيراتهم، مما يجعل من غير المحتمل أن يسافروا مع بقية الفريق لمباريات الإحماء في سريلانكا هذا الأسبوع.

Los preparativos de Inglaterra para la próxima Copa del Mundo T20 se han visto interrumpidos debido a retrasos en la obtención de visados para los spinners Adil Rashid y Rehan Ahmed, ambos de ascendencia paquistaní. El gobierno indio aún no ha emitido sus visados, lo que hace poco probable que viajen con el resto del equipo para los partidos de calentamiento en Sri Lanka este fin de semana.
