Fast bowler Kamrul Islam Rabbi has been named as a replacement for Shafiul Islam in Bangladeshs 22-man preliminary squad that will train in Sydney from December 11 in preparation for the tour to New Zealand.Shafiul was ruled out after he injured his left hamstring while fielding for Khulna Titans in Qualifier 1 of the BPL against Dhaka Dynamites on December 6, just three days before Bangladesh were scheduled to leave Dhaka. Shafiul took 18 wickets in 13 matches during the tournament, and showed rare consistency in form and fitness. But now, he needs at least three weeks to recover from the Grade 2 strain.Shafiuls injury is the latest blow to Bangladesh, who already lost Mohammad Shahid to a knee injury. However, chief selector Minhajul Abedin said they were still hoping Shafiul would recover in time for the Test series which begins on January 12. Shafiul is ruled out of the limited-overs matches, but if he recovers early, he will be considered for the Tests, he said.Rabbi, who made his Test debut against England in October, was picked ahead of pacemen Al-Amin Hossain and Alauddin Babu who are among the standbys. Rabbi was also among the standbys and was not included in the 22-man squad after which he took seven wickets in eight BPL games for Barisal Bulls.Minhajul said that Al-Amins disciplinary record also played a part in him not being considered. We have heard negative things about him from other places, so we didnt bring him in our discussion, he said. Bill Russell Jersey .

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Larry Bird Jersey . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. NEW YORK -- Novak Djokovic was not interested in discussing in any detail why he needed a trainer to work on his right elbow during an otherwise matter-of-fact 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Kyle Edmund on Sunday night that put the defending champion in the U.S. Open quarterfinals for the 10th consecutive year.Much as he did after having that same arm treated on Day 1 of the tournament -- the last time he was forced to play a full match -- Djokovic deflected questions about the elbow at his post-match news conference.At one point, he said: It was good. Everything was fine.Djokovic said he doesnt have pain in the elbow. Later, when a reporter asked why he asked for the medical visit, Djokovic said with a smile, I needed a little bit of a massage.He had competed for a total of only 31 minutes over the preceding five days because of injuries to his opponents in the second and third rounds.Obviously I havent played too much tennis. So Im really glad to be back, Djokovic said in an on-court interview. I thought I came out, really, from the blocks very good, playing with a high intensity.That he did. Yet while Djokovic looked quite good for the first two sets against the 84th-ranked Edmund, and again at the very end, there was that interlude that included the trip from the trainer at 2-1 in the last set.That came right after Djokovic got broken for the first time in the match and was part of a stretch of three games in a row for Edmund.Im feeling very good, to be honest. I really wanted to start the match well today, Djokovic said, because I didnt have much time on the court overall before the fourth round, and considering I had some struggles before the tournament.His left wrist had been bothering him since early August, so Djokovic arrived in New York without much recent match play, having lost in the first roound of the Rio Olympics and pulled out of a hard-court tuneup tournament.ddddddddddddUntil the issue with the right arm resurfaced in the third set against Edmund, Djokovic appeared rather rested and ready.After about 75 minutes Djokovic led by two sets and a break. He produced various bits of magic along the way: a jumping, head-fake drop shot at an impossible angle; a stretching angled cross-court backhand pass that drew an errant volley from Edmund; a body-contorting defense-to-offense forehand that drew a roar from spectators.I made Kyle work for each point, said Djokovic, whose quarterfinal opponent is No. 9 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the man he beat in the 2008 Australian Open final for the first of his 12 major championships. I wanted to move him around the court.Djokovic even cracked a smile after one effortless exchange in which he ran Edmund this way and that before dropping a backhand winner right near the baseline early in the third set.And yet it was in that same game that Edmund began his mini-run. At the ensuing changeover, Djokovic was visited by the trainer, who pressed a thumb just above the back of the players right elbow, while manipulating that joint in various ways. Edmund broke for a second consecutive time to suddenly lead 3-2 as Djokovics coach, Boris Becker, looked on from the stands, grim-faced.That, though, was that. Djokovic broke back to 3-all, and after a trade of service holds, he took the last two games. He has reached at least the quarterfinals at 29 of the past 30 Grand Slam tournaments -- the exception was his loss in the third round of Wimbledon in June against Sam Querrey.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
