                <![CDATA[Sobhana Mostary struck a historic century and shared a record 195-run partnership with captain Nigar Sultana Jyoti as Bangladesh scored 220-6 against Australia in the second ODI of their three-match series in Brisbane on Sunday.

Sobhana made 118 off 134 balls, hitting 18 fours, to become the first Bangladeshi woman to score a century on Australian soil. Her innings also helped Bangladesh post their highest ODI total against Australia.

Bangladesh were in trouble early in their innings, losing three wickets for just eight runs in 7.2 overs when Sobhana came to the crease. She joined Jyoti to steady the innings, and the pair put together a 195-run stand, the highest partnership by any wicket for Bangladesh against Australia in women&rsquo;s ODIs.

Jyoti contributed 74 off 114 balls, including seven fours, as the two batters rebuilt the innings and guided Bangladesh to a competitive total.

Sobhana reached her century off 124 balls, becoming the third Bangladeshi woman to score an ODI hundred. Farzana Haque Pinky has two centuries, while Jyoti has one. Sobhana&rsquo;s hundred is also the second-fastest by a Bangladeshi batter in women&rsquo;s ODIs, behind Jyoti&rsquo;s 80-ball century.

The innings marked another milestone on Bangladesh&rsquo;s first bilateral tour of Australia. Before Sunday, no Bangladeshi woman had scored an ODI half-century against Australia. The previous highest individual score by a Bangladeshi batter against the hosts was 29.

Bangladesh had lost the opening match after a disappointing performance with both bat and ball. Sobhana and Jyoti&rsquo;s partnership gave the visitors a strong response as they sought to level the series.

                <![CDATA[Innings Bangladesh 346 (Tanzid 83, Shadman 67, Saleem 4-82, Yamin 3-79) vs Afghanistan

Mohammad Saleem led Afghanistan&#39;s fightback against Bangladesh in the first innings in Abu Dhabi. Starting the second morning on 317 for 8, Bangladesh added 29 to their total in 8.3 overs before being bowled out for 346.

Saleem, who took 6 for 140 against India in the New Chandigarh Test in June, removed Taijul Islam to finish with four wickets, while Yamin Ahmadzai picked up three wickets. He took the last wicket when Ebadot Hossain edged to slip for a duck.

Nayeem Hasan was unbeaten on 35 off 67 balls with four fours, a fine effort for a cricketer who wasn&#39;t even in Bangladesh&#39;s original squad. Nayeem is a late addition after going to the UAE as a reserve player for the practice match last week.

This was only the second occasion in their short Test history that Afghanistan&#39;s pace attack had taken nine wickets in an innings. Ismat Alam backed up the efforts of Saleem and Yamin with two wickets.

On the first day, Tanzid had got Bangladesh off to a strong start with an electric 83 off 71 balls. He struck eight fours and four sixes, often charging the bowlers to loft them over the covers or straight down the ground. He was equally attacking against pace and spin, and dominated a 124-run opening stand with Shadman Islam.

Tanzid, however, fell shortly before the lunch interval, having missed out on a rare opportunity to score a century in the first session of a Test match. He fell to a timely intervention from wicketkeeper Ikram Alikhil whose decision to stand up to Ismat Alam paid off. Tanzid was caught behind in the same over.

Shadman reached his ninth Test half-century, and added 60 for the second wicket with Mominul Haque. Shadman fell for 67 during Saleem&#39;s first foray of short-pitched bowling in the game. Mominul was next to go for 39. Yamin removed Mushfiqur Rahim soon after with a yorker, before Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto edged Qais Ahmed to slip for 29.

These three wickets fell in the space of 18 balls, and it was left to Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to lead the recovery. They added 62 before Mehidy inside-edged Ismat on to his stumps.

Litton, who made three ducks in a row in Australia, scored a much-needed half-century. He struck four fours in his 89-ball stay, before top-edging Saleem towards fine leg, where Yamin took a splendid catch. Saleem then yorked Hasan Mahmud, having hit him on the chest earlier in the over.

                <![CDATA[Cristiano Ronaldo said on Tuesday he will remain available to represent Portugal should they call him up again in a five-page letter seen by ESPN, while explaining his fallout with coach Jorge Jesus last week.

The statement was later shared on Ronaldo&#39;s social media channels.

Ronaldo, 41, walked out on the Portugal camp after he was an unused substitute in the side&#39;s 2-1 UEFA Nations League win away at Norway on Sept. 27, saying Jesus broke his word to him.

However, despite the friction with Jesus, the Al Nassr striker said he has not brought the curtain down on his international career just yet.

&quot;If I am physically fit, playing for my club, scoring goals, I hope, that after serving whatever suspension is imposed on me, I will be available, as I have always been until today, to compete and win for our national team,&quot; Ronaldo said.

Ronaldo, who has scored a record 146 goals in 234 appearances for his country, also gave a detailed explanation of his fallout with Jesus, who coached the former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward in Saudi Arabia between 2025 and 2026.

He said it was not the fact that he did not play against Norway, but that Jesus &quot;broke his word&quot; once by not bringing him on and then a second time with his &quot;aggressiveness&quot; on the subject when he spoke to the press after the game.

&quot;To my absolute surprise, the coach asked me whether I was ready to play 30 minutes [against Norway],&quot; Ronaldo said, after detailing a previous meeting where it had been agreed he would not play.

&quot;I was completely focused on my physical recovery, integrated with my teammates as always, and thinking that I would not play that day. I had no problem with that.

&quot;This request was outside my physical recovery and training plan -- because I was only supposed to play on Oct. 4 at the Drag&atilde;o -- but obviously I said yes. He told me to be prepared because I would play 30 minutes.

Victorious Portugal united behind coach Jesus after Ronaldo exit
&quot;Everyone knows what happened next. I warmed up from halftime, watched the minutes go by, and was not called upon.

After Ronaldo released his statement, Jesus told Portugal&#39;s CMTV later Tuesday: &quot;I just came from Leiria. I was watching a game there. I am going to read the note now. I have nothing else to say.&quot;

Ronaldo said a plan was put in place after the Norway game to allow Jesus to draw a line under the issue by making a series of pre-agreed comments in a news conference on Sept. 29 ahead of the next game against Denmark two days later.

&quot;The news conference was what everyone knows: his attitude had nothing to do with our meeting,&quot; Ronaldo continued. &quot;I heard expressions and an aggressiveness that I believe I did not deserve, an attitude of &#39;I want, I can, and I command&#39; that he had not shown me, not even remotely, in private the day before.

                <![CDATA[Michael Olise came off the bench to inspire France to a 4-1 win over Belgium in the UEFA Nations League on Monday, handing Zinedine Zidane his first home victory since taking charge.

Dodi Lukebakio put Belgium on course for their first competitive win over Les Bleus in 45 years when he fired the visitors in front in the first half at the Stade de France.

But France turned the match on its head in a blistering finish, scoring four times in the final 13 minutes to preserve Zidane&#39;s unbeaten start and move closer to the quarter-finals.

Desire Doue hauled France level in the 77th minute with a low drive from the edge of the area before Olise teed up Rayan Cherki to fire them ahead four minutes later.

Olise then put the result beyond doubt with a third goal before adding another in stoppage time to cap a stunning French comeback.

&quot;Olise, what he&#39;s doing is simply exceptional,&quot; said Zidane.

France, who also beat Belgium 1-0 in Brussels last week thanks to a late Olise goal, moved three points clear of Italy at the top of Group A1, with Belgium another point back. Italy beat Turkey 3-1 in Bologna to condemn their opponents to a fourth straight loss.

&quot;It&#39;s encouraging and I&#39;m very optimistic about what&#39;s to come,&quot; added Zidane, after wins in three of his first four matches.

&quot;I&#39;m pleased with the results: we have 10 points, and beyond the victories and the points, what matters most is the satisfaction of having done a good job with the players and my staff.

&quot;It was very important to have two quality weeks. There are things we need to improve, but that will come little by little. We can do better, and we will do better.&quot;

Former World Cup and Ballon d&#39;Or winner Zidane heavily rotated his team for the last match of this two-week long international window, with only Ousmane Dembele keeping his place among the 10 changes.

Manchester United defender Leny Yoro and Toulouse goalkeeper Guillaume Restes made their France debuts, with Dembele again captaining the side in the absence of the injured Kylian Mbappe.

Belgium were without the suspended duo of Kevin De Bruyne and Youri Tielemans but caught France cold when Romeo Lavia&#39;s superb ball split open the home defence, allowing Lukebakio to race clear and tuck away a clinical finish.

Maarten Vandevoordt, making his debut in goal for Belgium, kept out efforts from Esteban Lepaul and Cherki as France pressed for an equaliser, but the dam eventually burst.

Doue gathered the ball and shot on the turn, beyond the reach of Vandevoordt, to haul France level. Cherki then turned home a cutback from Olise to give the hosts the lead as the Bayern Munich winger stole the show late on.

Olise scrambled in a third in the 88th minute and rolled in a fourth after skilful work from Doue to complete a remarkable turnaround.

                <![CDATA[Argentina produced another commanding attacking performance, cruising to a 7-0 victory over Burkina Faso in their second friendly of the international break.

Playing in front of their home supporters at the Estadio Monumental early Sunday, the Albiceleste followed up their 4-0 win over Bolivia with another emphatic result. Argentina have now scored 11 goals across their two matches without conceding.

Argentina took just four minutes to open the scoring. Burkina Faso&rsquo;s Moumouni Diallo brought down Agustin Giay inside the box, earning Argentina a penalty. Although the goalkeeper saved the initial spot-kick, the Argentina forward reacted quickly to convert the rebound and put the hosts ahead. He had also scored against Bolivia.

The goal took his international tally to 42 in 86 appearances, moving him closer to Gabriel Batistuta&rsquo;s 54 goals, the second-highest total in Argentina&rsquo;s history. Lionel Messi remains the country&rsquo;s leading scorer with 125 goals.

Argentina doubled their advantage in the eighth minute when Diallo was again involved. The Burkina Faso defender inadvertently turned the ball into his own net while attempting to clear an Argentine attack.

The hosts continued to dominate and added a third in the 12th minute through Gianluca Prestianni. The goal was his first for the national team and gave Argentina a 3-0 lead before the quarter-hour mark.

Nicolas Paz made it 4-0 in the 35th minute, finding space with a well-timed run before calmly finishing. Just a minute later, Julian Alvarez added a fifth to complete a brilliant first-half display.

Argentina went into the break with a five-goal cushion and maintained their attacking intensity after the restart.

Franco Mastantuono came off the bench in the 57th minute and quickly made an impact, scoring his first international goal. He finished calmly in a one-on-one situation to make it 6-0.

The goal was particularly memorable for Mastantuono as it came at the Monumental, where he had previously scored a spectacular free-kick while playing for River Plate.

Burkina Faso struggled to contain Argentina&rsquo;s relentless attacking pressure throughout the match. Even with a comfortable lead, the hosts continued to press forward.

Giovanni Simeone completed the rout in the third minute of stoppage time, scoring Argentina&rsquo;s seventh and final goal to seal a comprehensive 7-0 victory.

                <![CDATA[India secured a place in the gold medal match of the Asian Games 2026 men&#39;s event with a dominant 124-run victory over Sri Lanka in the second semi-final at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin on Thursday, October 1.

Chasing India&#39;s above-par 169, powered by Ishan Kishan&#39;s 80 in 46 balls, Sri Lanka collapsed for just 45 in reply.

After Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field first on a wicket offering plenty of turn, India marched to 169/7 with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi setting the base and Kishan&#39;s knock landing the knockout blow for a new-look Sri Lankan side.

India did suffer early setbacks when opener Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson both fell for 7, leaving the side struggling at 24/2.

Making his comeback in the T20I side after missing the entire preceding series against Afghanistan, teenage prodigy Sooryavanshi injected momentum into the innings, smashing 38 off 21 balls with six boundaries and two sixes before falling to Sahan Arachchige.

Captain Shreyas Iyer contributed a run-a-ball 13, and there was useful support at the other end for Kishan as he turned the tables on Sri Lanka with a fiery knock.

Asian Games: Who will win gold if a potential India vs Pakistan final is washed out
Kishan provided a masterclass on a challenging, spin-friendly surface as he anchored in the middle overs before unleashing a barrage of boundaries towards the backend of the innings to power India to a daunting total for the conditions. Kishan hit five sixes and four more boundaries.


In response, Sri Lanka&#39;s chase collapsed almost immediately against a disciplined Indian bowling attack led by Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel. Bumrah delivered two early strikes in his opening over even before Sri Lanka could get off the mark.

Axar Patel wreaked havoc through the middle order by dismissing captain Arachchige and Ashen Bandara in the space of four balls.


India&#39;s sharp ground fielding also led to multiple run-outs, including opener Lasith Croospulle (0) and No. 4 Nuwanidu Fernando (15) as Sri Lanka slipped to 31/6 inside the Powerplay. That soon became 33/7 with Washington Sundar getting on the board in the seventh over. Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi continued the squeeze, keeping a tight leash as Sri Lanka struggled to break free under immense scoreboard pressure.

Unable to establish any partnerships on the turning pitch, Sri Lanka were eventually bowled out for just 45 runs in 9.5 overs, with Abhishek Sharma bagging the two remaining wickets off successive deliveries. Sri Lanka folded for 45 in 9.5 overs, crashing out of the gold medal race.

India&#39;s win has set up a high-stakes final against Pakistan, while Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will now fight it out for bronze.

                <![CDATA[Bangladesh and Sri Lanka advanced to the men&rsquo;s cricket semifinals at the Asian Games on Tuesday without taking to the field, after persistent rain in Nagoya forced both of their quarter-final matches to be abandoned.

Sri Lanka will face India in the semifinal, while Bangladesh are set to take on Pakistan. Both matches are scheduled for Thursday.

Sri Lanka secured their place in the last four after their quarter-final against Nepal was called off due to the wet conditions. Under the tournament rules, the higher-ranked team advances when a match is abandoned because of bad weather.

Bangladesh benefited from the same rule, progressing at the expense of lower-ranked Malaysia after their quarter-final was also washed out.

Defending champions India and Pakistan had already booked their semifinal places on Monday after rain disrupted and abandoned both of their respective quarter-final fixtures.

Nagoya and other parts of Japan&rsquo;s Aichi prefecture have experienced heavy rainfall in recent days, causing widespread disruption to the cricket schedule. However, weather conditions are expected to improve from Wednesday.

                <![CDATA[Pio Esposito was joined by older brother Sebastiano in the starting lineup for Italy&#39;s Nations League match at Turkey on Monday, marking the first time two brothers have started for the Azzurri in more than a century.

It was an international debut for the 24-year-old Sebastiano Esposito, while the 21-year-old Pio had played 10 times for Italy, scoring five goals.

Pio added another goal and an assist in a dominant 4-1 victory. Sebastiano also went close on several occasions.

&ldquo;I remember well my first time for the senior Italy side, as it was only last year, so I tried not to add any more pressure onto his shoulders. I hope he enjoyed it to the max,&rdquo; Pio said. &ldquo;It was really wonderful sharing this experience with him and I hope to do so many more times.&rdquo;

Inzaghi brothers, Simone and Filippo, were the last set of brothers to play in a match together for Italy. 
They were the fourth set of brothers to play in the same match for Italy, including Filippo and Simone Inzaghi in 2000.

However, the last time two brothers started the same match was in 1915, when Aldo and Luigi Cevenini scored all the goals in a 3-1 victory over Switzerland.

Moreover, Sebastiano completes a hat trick of Esposito brothers to have played for Italy. Salvatore Esposito, the oldest brother at 25, featured in one match in 2022.

It is the first time three brothers have played for Italy at senior level.

Italy find their spark in 4-1 win over Turkey
Pio had a breakout season with Inter Milan last campaign, while Sebastiano joined Sassuolo on loan from Cagliari in the summer.

Italy were much improved after kicking off its Nations League campaign with a 2-0 loss at home to Belgium on Friday, in Roberto Mancini&#39;s first match back in charge.

Italy play France on October 2 in their next Nations League game before closing things the window out with a match against Turkiye on October 5.

                <![CDATA[England completed a 3-0 Test series whitewash over Pakistan after beating the visitors by eight wickets in the third and final Test at Edgbaston on Saturday (September 12).

Chasing a modest 130-run target, England reached 130 for two, with Joe Root unbeaten on 62 and Jordan Cox on 59. The pair calmly guided the hosts to victory after Pakistan made an early breakthrough by dismissing Ben Duckett and Emilio Gay.

England had earlier taken firm control of the match by bowling Pakistan out for just 133 in their first innings before piling up 453, securing a massive 320-run lead.

Pakistan showed far greater resistance in their second innings, making 449. Shan Masood top-scored with 95, while Babar Azam made 76 and Azan Awais scored 59.

The highlight of Pakistan&#39;s fightback was Test debutant Razaullah, who smashed a spectacular 81 off 63 balls, including nine sixes, in a 121-run partnership with Mohammad Abbas, who scored 42. Their late resistance helped Pakistan set England a target of 130.

However, England remained composed in the chase and wrapped up the match before lunch on the fourth day to complete a dominant series sweep.

England had won the opening Test by an innings and 103 runs and the second by 194 runs.

The whitewash caps a remarkable Test series for England, while Pakistan&#39;s campaign was marred by poor batting performances and major changes to their squad and coaching setup midway through the tour.

                <![CDATA[European giants France and Spain are set to clash in the high-voltage World-Cup semi-final Tonight at 1:00AM. Both of the teams have been unstoppable throughout the tournament.

Although Spain had their hiccup against Cabo Verde, the team has shown extraordinary performance in the tournament. They have conceded only one goal in this tournament, showing remarkable achievement.

France has been outstanding throughout the tournament too. They are considered as one of the top favorites for the title.

Many describe this battle between two of the tournament&rsquo;s best teams as a &quot;final before the final.&quot; The two sides have contrasting football philosophies. France excels in fast-paced counter-attacks. Spain believes in ball possession and controlled football.

France has not faced a major test before reaching the last four. Captain Kylian Mbapp&eacute; leads their all-star attack. He has already scored eight goals in six matches.

Mbapp&eacute; is a top contender for the Golden Boot. Morover, he is supported by Bayern Munich star Michael Olise, Ballon d&#39;Or winner Ousmane Demb&eacute;l&eacute;, and the PSG duo Bradley Barcola and D&eacute;sir&eacute; Dou&eacute;.

Under Luis de la Fuente, Spain has reached the semi-finals with a calm approach. They rely on their trademark ball possession, tactical attacks, and a talented squad.

Spain defeated France 5-4 in a thrilling UEFA Nations League match last year. They also won 2-1 in the Euro 2024 semi-final before eventually winning the title.

The two nations have met 38 times in total. Spain holds a clear advantage with 18 wins. France has won 13 times, while 7 matches ended in a draw.

Since the start of the 2018 World Cup, Spain has lost only one of their 27 matches in major tournaments (16 wins, 10 draws). They have been unbeaten in 14 matches since their 2-1 defeat to Japan in the 2022 World Cup.

Will France&rsquo;s lightening paced counter-attacks will break through Spain&rsquo;s disciplined defense, or will Spain&rsquo;s controlling football decide the result of the match? Only time will say.

                <![CDATA[Egypt booked a place in the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time in their history after earning a 1-1 draw with Iran on Friday. The result secured Egypt a second-place finish in Group G, while Iran must wait to find out if they have done enough to progress.

Belgium claimed the top spot in the group with a commanding 5-1 victory over New Zealand in Vancouver. The group winners had previously been held to a 1-1 draw by Egypt earlier in the tournament.

Iran still have a chance of reaching the knockout rounds for the first time since the tournament expanded to 48 teams, but their qualification now depends on other results.

Egypt made a bright start, taking the lead in the fifth minute through Mahmoud Saber. Mohamed Salah, the former Liverpool forward, played a key role in the move before Saber fired the ball through the legs of Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand.

Iran responded quickly, with Ramin Rezaeian equalising nine minutes later to level the match.

The Iranians thought they had snatched a dramatic winner deep into stoppage time when Shoja Khalilzadeh found the net in the 93rd minute. However, the goal was ruled out for offside after a video review, denying Iran all three points.

A victory would have guaranteed Iran a place in the knockout stage.

The match, promoted as a &ldquo;Pride Match&rdquo; in Seattle, ended with Egypt celebrating a historic qualification, while Iran&#39;s hopes of progressing remain uncertain.

                <![CDATA[Following wetnesday&rsquo;s victory in the Sylhet Test, Bangladesh national cricket team received another major boost&mdash; climbing two places to 7th in the International Cricket Council&rsquo;s (ICC) Test rankings.

It is the highest position Bangladesh have ever achieved in Test cricket.

Bangladesh had previously risen to 8th place in 2018. The ICC updated the rankings immediately after the conclusion of the Sylhet Test.

Bangladesh moved up from 9th to 7th, overtaking both the West Indies cricket team and the Pakistan national cricket team. Pakistan slipped two places from 6th to 8th following the series defeat under Shan Masood&rsquo;s captaincy, while the West Indies dropped one place to 9th. Sri Lanka national cricket team climbed from 7th to 6th.

After whitewashing Pakistan, Bangladesh&rsquo;s rating points rose to 78, while Pakistan&rsquo;s dropped to 75. Sri Lanka, directly above Bangladesh, now have 86 points.

Before the series began, Bangladesh had 67 rating points and Pakistan 89. That means Bangladesh gained 11 rating points from the series, while Pakistan lost 14.

Australia national cricket team remain top of the rankings with 131 points. They are followed by South Africa national cricket team (119), India national cricket team (104), England cricket team (102) and New Zealand national cricket team (101).

At the bottom of the table, the West Indies have 68 points, while Zimbabwe national cricket team have 10.

Neither Afghanistan national cricket team nor Ireland cricket team feature in the rankings because they have not played the minimum eight Tests required within the three-year cycle.

                <![CDATA[Colombian singer Shakira unveiled the official song for the 2026 World Cup, Dai Dai, on Thursday (7 may).

The 49-year-old posted a video on Instagram on Thursday from Brazil&#39;s Maracana stadium to tease the track, which features Nigerian singer Burna Boy. The song will be released on May 14.

In the footage, the singer appears alongside a group of dancers dressed in the colours of several of the national teams taking part in the tournament, which will be held from Jun 11 to Jul 19 in Mexico, the United States and Canada.

The video also features the official match balls from the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups, apparently referencing the tournaments in which Shakira played a prominent role musically.

The Latin pop star had also performed the official song for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa - Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).

She performed her hit Hips Don&#39;t Lie and La La La (Brazil 2014) during ceremonies at the 2006 World Cup in Germany and 2014 tournament in Brazil respectively.

                <![CDATA[Bangladesh have decided not to participate in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in India.

Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul confirmed the information after a meeting held with the players named in the World Cup squad on Thursday. After the meeting, he spoke to the media and criticised the International Cricket Council (ICC), alleging unfair treatment towards Bangladesh. He said the decision not to travel to India for the T20 World Cup is final and was taken by the government. &ldquo;There is no opportunity to change our position on not going to India to play the World Cup,&rdquo; the adviser said, adding that the ICC failed to ensure justice by not considering Bangladesh&rsquo;s request for a venue change.

Asif Nazrul further stated that the security concerns which led to the decision remain unchanged. &ldquo;Naturally, we all wanted to play in the T20 World Cup. But the security risks associated with playing in India still exist,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;These concerns are not based on assumptions or theoretical analysis. They arose from real incidents.&rdquo;

Following Asif Nazrul, BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul also spoke to the media, reiterating that Bangladesh still wants to play its World Cup matches in Sri Lanka and will continue to pursue that option with the ICC.

Addressing the ICC&rsquo;s description of the removal of Mustafizur Rahman from the Indian Premier League (IPL) amid protests by hardline groups as an &lsquo;isolated incident&rsquo;, the BCB president disagreed.

He said Mustafizur was dropped from an IPL team due to security reasons, not because of injury, personal withdrawal, or cancellation of his No Objection Certificate (NOC) by the BCB.

&ldquo;Mustafizur did not pull out on his own, he was not injured, and the BCB did not cancel his NOC,&rdquo; Aminul Islam said. &ldquo;He was excluded due to security concerns. After that incident, we contacted the ICC and requested to play at an alternative venue.&rdquo;

The decision is expected to have significant implications for Bangladesh cricket and the overall structure of the tournament, as the ICC weighs its next steps.
