  • Liam Hemsworth to replace Henry Cavill in The Witcher 

    By Express News Service

    It has been announced that Henry Cavill will be stepping away from The Witcher in the fourth season of the hit epic fantasy show.

    The actor has passed the baton to The Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth, who will be essaying Geralt of Rivia in the future seasons.

    In a heartfelt Instagram post, Cavill wrote, “My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4.”

    Announcing the recasting, Cavill shared, “In my stead, the fantastic Mr Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam’s take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men.”

    “Liam, good sir, this character has such a wonderful depth to him, enjoy diving in and seeing what you can find,” he ended his post.

    Cavill, however, will be seen in the third season of The Witcher, which will hit the streaming platform in 2023.

    The news comes just days after it was announced that Cavill will be reprising his role as Superman in future DC superhero films.

  • Shami’s injury is a big problem, send this player to Australia immediately: Gavaskar

    India faced a crushing defeat by 8 wickets in the first Test match against Australia. Along with this, India has also suffered a big blow due to the injury of fast bowler Mohammad Shami. BCCI has made it clear in the gestures that he will no longer be able to play in this entire series, after which his replacement is being talked about. In such a situation, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that if Ishant Sharma is fine then he should be sent to Australia immediately.

    Gavaskar said in a statement, Shami’s injury is a big problem. He has the ability to take wickets, he can shock the opposition with his bouncers and yorkers. If he is not playing, then it is going to be a problem for India. Gavaskar further said, if Ishant Sharma is fit then I suggest that he should be sent to Australia right now.

    The 71-year-old former cricketer said that if he is capable of bowling 20 overs in a day, then the management should send him to Australia tomorrow so that he can prepare for the Sydney Test. He further said, I am saying that India should take a chance because there is no proper back-up right now. Navdeep Saini has the ability to take wickets, but the way he bowled in warm-up matches, it does not seem that he will be able to bother the Australian batsmen.

  • “I couldn’t perform my best at Real Madrid, I was too young”

    Theo Hernandez arrived at Real Madrid in the summer of 2017 after a controversial transfer from cross-town rivals, Atletico Madrid. The young fullback was seen as the eventual replacement for Marcelo after an impressive campaign on loan with Alaves. In 23 games for Real Madrid, Theo failed to meet expectations. There were questions around his attitude and the young player left on loan again the following season to Real Sociedad. With Marcelo, Sergio Reguilon, and Achraf all on the club’s books as potential competition in the left back role, Madrid decided to sell to AC Milan for $22 million in the summer of 2019.

    In an interview with Onda Cero, the now 23-year-old spoke about his strong form with AC Milan, his time at Real Madrid, and his expectations for the future.

    “I don’t know if they regret my departure in Madrid. I couldn’t do my best for Real Madrid, as I didn’t have the minutes. Without the minutes, you don’t have confidence. I arrived at a very young age, I have grown up now”, Theo explained.

  • Concussion rules Will Pucovski out of Adelaide Test; Marcus Harris named replacement

    Will Pucovski has joined David Warner in being ruled out of the first Test against India at Adelaide Oval with Marcus Harris called into the squad as a replacement.

    Pucovski suffered concussion when struck on the helmet late in the Australia A match against the Indians at Drummoyne Oval, the ninth concussion he has suffered, which means a likely Test debut has been put on hold.

    Warner suffered a groin strain in the second ODI against India and will miss at least the first Test with doubts about whether he will be ready for Melbourne.

    Harris played the last of his nine Tests on the 2019 Ashes tour when he struggled against England’s pace attack but has since made some technical adjustments alongside new Victoria coach Chris Rogers. He started the Sheffield Shield season with 239 and made 355 runs in three innings. He has been part of the Australia A side for both matches against the Indians.

  • David Warner Says India Has Talent To Fill Rohit Sharma’s Shoes In The White-ball Leg

    Australian opener David Warner feels Rohit Sharma’s absence is a big loss for the Indian team but asserted that the visitors are well equipped to have in-form replacements. Rohit has been rested for the limited-overs series against Australia that gets underway on November 27. KL Rahul will be the vice-captain for the white-ball of Team India’s tour Down Under.

    Sharma might not be featuring in the limited-overs series but the Mumbai batsman has been roped in for the Test series. With Rohit Sharma’s inclusion in India’s Test squad for the Australia series, it is likely that the opening batsman will also lead the team, after Kohli’s departure. Ajinkya Rahane, the Test vice-captain, could also be leading the squad in place of Virat Kohli. However, there has been no final decision on it yet. 

    Meanwhile, regular skipper Virat Kohli will be captaining the side in the first Test at the Adelaide Oval that will be played under lights on December 17. Nonetheless, the batting megastar would be heading back to India after the Test match to be with his wife Anushka Sharma as they are expecting their first child in January
