Harmanpreet backs bowler Deepti in ‘controversial’ run out of England’s Charlie DeanLondon, Sep 25 India women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has backed her bowler Deepti Sharma for running out England’s Charlie Dean at the non-striker’s end during her delivery stride in the third and final ODI at Lord’s on Saturday, calling it a “part of the game”.

Freya Davies and Charlie Dean put on 35 runs for the final wicket, helping England from 118/9 to within sniffing distance of India’s target of 169 before Deepti ran the England batter out before delivering the ball at the non-striker’s end to seal India’s win.

While the dismissal garnered attention from all quarters, according to the updated ICC Playing Conditions, “running out of the non-striker” has been moved from the “Unfair Play” section to the “Run out” section.

With 17 runs required, the 10th wicket partnership between Davies and Dean seemed to be helping England edge closer to the winning target. But drama soon unfolded at Lord’s with Deepti running Dean out at the non-striker’s end in her delivery stride.

Asked about the dismissal at the post-match presentation ceremony, Harmanpreet played down the controversy surrounding the dismissal, saying Deepti “hasn’t done something outside the rules”.

“To be honest, I thought you will ask about all the 10 wickets, which was not easy to take as well (when asked about the dismissal),” Harmanpreet was quoted as saying by ICC.”It’s part of the game I don’t think we have done something new. It shows your awareness, what batters are doing.

I will back my players; she (Deepti) hasn’t done something outside the rules. At the end of the day a win is a win and we will take that.”The wicket gave India a 16-run victory with Dean nearly taking the game out of their hands with her knock of 47 that helped England recover from a despondent 65/7 in the run chase.

Hailing Jhulan Goswami, who was playing her last international game, Harmanpreet referred to the senior pacer as her “go-to person”.”When I debuted she was a leader, before the game I told her when I was going through the best time people supported me but when I was in a rough time she was the one who supported me,” the India captain added.”I wanted to thank her and tell her she is always with us. She is a go-to person, I always called her at low times and she was someone always guiding me.”

Formula 1 announces 24-race calendar for 2023 season

Sep 21, 2022 IANS

Formula 1 on Tuesday announced a 24-race calendar for the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship, the longest season in recent times which stretches from early March to late November and includes races in China, Qatar and Las Vegas.

The calendar approved by the World Motor Sport Council, kicks off in Bahrain on March 5 and concludes in Abu Dhabi on November 26, the season will feature a record-breaking 24 races, with China and Qatar set to return, and Las Vegas arriving as the penultimate round for a Saturday night race.

The traditional summer break will remain in August, though changes to race dates see Belgium move to the end of July as a back-to-back with Hungary, while the Netherlands is twinned with Italy after the restart, said a report on the f1 website.

Speaking of the announcement of the calendar, Formula 1 CEO and President Stefano Domenicali said: “We are excited to announce the 2023 calendar with 24 races around the world. Formula 1 has unprecedented demand to host races and it is important we get the balance right for the entire sport.

“We are very pleased with the strong momentum Formula 1 continues to experience and it is great news that we will be able to bring our passionate fans a mix of exciting new locations such as Las Vegas to the Championship with much-loved venues across Europe, Asia and the Americas.”

“The presence of 24 races on the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar is further evidence of the growth and appeal of the sport on a global scale” FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem was quoted as saying by the organisation in a release.

“The addition of new venues and the retention of traditional events underlines the FIA’s sound stewardship of the sport. I am delighted that we will be able to take Formula 1’s new era of exciting racing, created by the FIA’s 2022 Regulations, to a broader fan base in 2023.

“In framing the 2023 F1 calendar, WMSC Members have also been mindful of the timing of the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans,” he said.
