CWG high jump medallist Tejaswin Shankar one of many international recruits to take advantage of the NCAA system.

Tejaswin and he are not the only high-profile athletes to go the NCAA way. A lot of student-athletes I trained with realised they can’t make it to the top, or don’t want to. So, if financial aid is the primary concern, a student-athlete may have to choose a lesser school, which could be detrimental to their development, to make sure their education and training does not come at too high a price. He believes that the exposure he gained, to train and compete with some of the world’s best young players, was crucial to his development. Ahead of the CWG this year, barring a last-minute court intervention, history was about to repeat itself. Schools at the top of the competitive curve are likely to give 100 percent scholarships only to a high-level recruit, and it is even rarer for international students. There are various divisions in the system, and getting a top-level Division 1 scholarship involves cut-throat competition, not just on the field, but academically too. “At the 2006 US Open, Andre Agassi, in the final match of his career, lost the third round to Benjamin Becker (of Germany). Devvarman himself is one of just 13 players to have ever won consecutive Division 1 tennis titles at that level, the second of which saw him post a win-loss record of 44-1. The medallists come from all over the world, from Africa and the Caribbean, as well as the UK and Australia. The 23-year-old high jumper’s bronze at the recent Commonwealth Games was one of a whopping 45 medals won by athletes coming through the NCAA system, in track and field alone. Trust your athletes to come back home and perform at a high level,” he said.

As per reports, British sporting agent Mazhar Majeed accepted £150000 and arranged a spot-fix that involved Pakistan bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif ...

Amir made a comeback to international cricket in 2016 and featured in his comeback Test at the same venue – Lord’s. However, both Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif have not made any comeback and have since bid goodbye to the game. Following the report, the International Cricket Council (ICC) jumped into action and formed a tribunal that included its anti-corruption unit and Scotland Yard. It also alleged that the then-Pakistan captain Salman Butt and wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal, along with three unnamed players, were also part of the scandal. This Test match came at the centre of a police investigation for spot-fixing allegations, when 35-year-old Mazhar Majeed was arrested. This took place during the Lord’s Test match between England and Pakistan when a British tabloid ran a stunning sting operation.

National Sports Day is observed on August 29 every year to honour Major Dhyan Chand. This Sports Day, let's look at ways to prevent sports injuries.

Taping or bracing, on the other hand, is not a primary prevention strategy in healthy populations with no history of an According to Emery and Pasanen, "the "best" injury prevention programme is one that athletes, coaches, and sporting bodies can and will adopt and sustain." Injury prevention research has grown in importance and is now being used in the real world. At large, the more contact in a sport, the greater the risk of injury. Injury prevention in sports is focused on three areas: Extrinsic risk factors are addressed through rule changes and equipment strategies (e.g., body checking in youth ice hockey, ankle braces, cricketers wearing Standard compliant helmets when batting, wicketkeeping, or fielding close to the batter). The risk of re-injury from an ankle sprain was reduced by 69-71 per cent, by using ankle taping and bracing respectively. It is critical to include primary injury prevention and make it a public health priority because it will have a significant impact on reducing the long-term consequences of musculoskeletal injuries.
