Australia Announces Women's Ashes squad - Including Ellyse Perry

Australia yesterday announced the 15-member women's Ashes squad. The squad contains 10 of the 11 players who won the World Cup final for Australia in February.

The Ashes squad also includes Australian fast bowler Ellyse Perry which will participate in the Ashes series in England starting 11 August later this year.

22-year-old Perry recently had surgery on an ankle injury and then contracted an infection which made her a doubt for the series.

It may be added that for the first time the Ashes will be contested over all formats of the game.

The highest points total after one Test, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s will win the Ashes, with Australia the current holders of the urn.

Andy Murray Not Going to Paris for French Open

It may come as a demoralizing news for Murray's fans world wide, specially in the UK, but it is the reality: Andy Murray is not going to Paris to play the French Open owing to his back injury.

The world no.2 and darling of the British crowd, who made his presence felt in the last year's US Open and Olympics, retired in his first match in Rome due to back injury and pain as was evident from his face.

"It's been a really tough decision, and I love playing in Paris, but after seeking medical advice I'm not fit to compete," said the US Open champion.

Talking about his injuries, Murray had said at Rome:

"Until Madrid, it had been OK but it's not been perfect for a long period. You always go into matches with little niggles and such, but it's frustrating when for a long period you're hurting."

Now, having opted out of the Paris clay, Murray will hope to be fit for the start of the grass-court season at Queen's Club on 10 June.

A lone goal wins Arsenal fourth spot in Premier League

Sunday's match between Arsenal and Newcastle seemed to be ending in a goalless draw till Laurent  Koscielny struck in the 52nd minute to bring a lone goal victory for the Gunners and secure the fourth place in the Premier League.

The French defender latched on to Lukas Podolski's header following Theo Walcott's free-kick to score his most important Arsenal goal as they pipped Tottenham to fourth spot in the Premier League and the final place in Europe's elite competition.

The Gunners finished a point ahead of Andre Villas-Boas's Spurs, who scored late on to beat Sunderland but needed to better their rivals' result. Arsenal is placed fourth now with 73 points, a point ahead of Spurs and two points short of the Blues.

Arsenal have not won a trophy since the 2005 FA Cup but reaching the top four again at least means the Gunners can attract new talent in the summer with funds due to be released for players.
