Marshall Munetsi’s next move is tightening into a two-club race, with Nottingham Forest in active discussions with Wolves while Paris FC try to keep the Zimbabwean in France.

Laura Wolvaardt’s 330-run avalanche in a 4–1 series win over India has given South Africa momentum and belief heading into the Women’s T20 World Cup in England.

FIFA has confirmed a 15% increase in financial distributions to all 48 teams at the 2026 World Cup, a move framed as support amid rising travel and ticketing pressures.
