The All-Star forward signed with the Clippers two years ago after a recruitment process that was filled with more twists and turns than a daytime soap opera.

Speaking to IANS, KCA president and BCCI vice president T.C. Mathew said the KCA had written to both the secretary and the president of the BCCI in this regard. “We have requested them that in the light of the court itself exonerating Sreesanth from the case, the ban imposed on him be lifted.

The rapper made a controversial denunciation of the Democratic Party in an interview with radio DJ Big Boy last week, claiming that black Americans have historically been “brainwashed” into supporting the Democrats instead of exercising individual choice. “Democrats had us voting Democrats for food stamps for years, bro,” the rapper said. “Guns in the ’80s, taking the fathers out the homes, Plan B, lowering our votes, making us abort our children....

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will pick up where the characters left off after the climatic moments in the most recent Avengers film. The heroes left Earth with the Norse God of Thunder Thor joining as an honorary temporary member.

Ledecky, who hasn’t lost a 200-, 400- or 800-meter freestyle heat since Jan. 18, 2014, was the under world-record pace by more than two seconds at the halfway mark but fell off the pace the final 50 as Leah Smith closed the gap for a second-place finish and her own ticket to the Rio Games. MORE: Ryan Lochte won’t defend gold in 400 IM “My coach didn’t give me any advice (before the swim),” Ledecky told NBC Sports after the race....

In fact, at this point, most view her as a cinch to come away with some, if not all, the gold medals in events in which she competes. The last time Ledecky was in Rio, she won four gold medals, set two world records and took home a silver medal to boot.
