Dumped from the Rio Olympics squad last week, former womens national hockey team captain Ritu Rani hit back at Hockey India selectors and dismissed the allegations of poor attitude and performance levelled against her as false and baseless.The news came as a shock to me. I had no issues of fitness or attitude at all. No explanation was given to me properly as to why I have been dropped, said Ritu, who was instrumental in helping the Indian womens team seal an Olympic berth after a 36-year hiatus.I didnt leave any training or camps, I got engaged when the camp was on a break.Hockey India named Sushila Chanu as the skipper in place of Ritu Rani.Ritu, 24, pointed out that former mens team captain Sardar Singh received better support from Hockey India despite facing issues off the field. Sardar Singh lost his captaincy to PR Sreejesh as a result of his dip in form in recent times.I feel playing hockey for all these years has been useless. My fiancé is hugely upset. Sardar Singh is also facing personal problems, his captaincy has been taken away as well, but he is still in the team as he deserves to be. Then why this treatment with me? said Rani in an interview to a television channel.Its wrong to make false allegations. I dont think I will be able to watch the Olympics matches on TV, Ritu added, while breaking down on live television. Wholesale Adidas Shoes Ireland . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin.

Leicestershire could be looking for a new coach after reports in Australia linked Andrew McDonald with the same role at Victoria. While Leicestershire insist McDonald has, to date, only been approached for a role with Melbourne Renegades (the Big Bash side), rumours persist that he has become the preferred candidate for both the first-class and limited-overs teams.When you have a coach as good as Andrew, it is inevitable that other teams will be interested, Wasim Khan, Leicestershires chief executive, told ESPNcricinfo. But as things stand, he tells me he has only been approached for a role with the T20 side. My reaction was great; good for you.Despite a poor year in limited-overs cricket, McDonald has made a strong impression as elite performance director at Leicestershire. After several miserable years, the club are currently fifth in Division Two of the County Championship and retain ambitions of winning promotion. If that sounds modest, it must be remembered that, when McDonald was appointed ahead of the 2015 season, the club had not won a Championship match since 2012.ddddddddddddWhile McDonald is two years into a three-year deal with the club (he is contracted from February to September until the end of the 2017 county season), he may well conclude that the opportunity to become head coach of Victoria and Melbourne Renegades is too good to miss. Indeed, with the Matador Cup season starting in the first week of October, Victoria may well want McDonald before the end of the current county season. It is not thought sustainable to continue in both roles.McDonald, who played four Tests for Australia, represented Victoria, the state of his birth, for more than a decade. The vacancy arose when David Saker left to take up the role of bowling coach with the Australia team. ' ' '
