Youssoufa Moukoko Becomes Youngest Player in Bundesliga History

Youssoufa Moukoko has become the youngest player to feature in a Bundesliga match after he made his debut for Borussia Dortmund at Olympiastadion Berlin. Moukoko turned 16 on Friday and was immediately included in Dortmund's squad for their league clash away to Hertha Berlin.
A rule change in the German top-flight earlier this year has changed the minimum age requirement from 16 and a half to 16, enabling his inclusion on the bench.
Moukoko has also made an impact at the international level, representing Germany at both U16 and U20 levels.

Sanjay Manjrekar Returns to Commentary Panel

Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar is set to return to the commentary panel for India's tour of Australia, starting November 27. The veteran was dropped by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from the commentary team of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.
It has been speculated that Manjrekar was removed from the panel as a result of his comment calling Ravindra Jadeja a "bits-and-pieces player" during last year's ODI World Cup and the subsequent reactions from fans and the player himself were an important trigger in him losing his job.

ICC Test Championship

Australian cricket team has pushed India to the second spot in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points table after the International Cricket Council (ICC) affected changes to the WTC rules. The changes in ICC WTC points system have be made as several bilateral series could not be played due to Covid-19 pandemic.
Changes to the rules were made to determine the nine teams' standings on the points table.
Although India (360 points) still has 64 more points than Australia (296) and more series wins, the Aussies have gone atop after the ICC Board approved that the matches played and the matches lost won't be treated as drawn and points would be split. Australia now has 0.822 percentage points (82.2 per cent), which propelled them to the No.1 spot, while India has 0.750 (75 per cent).
The changes were recommended by the Anil Kumble-headed ICC Cricket Committee.
