Plans to revive the oldest international cricket rivalry have been confirmed with the USA and Canada set to play three 50-over matches for the KA Auty Cup on October 13, 14 and 16 at Woodley Park in Los Angeles. The Auty Cup has not been played since 2013, in King City, where Canada retained the trophy after securing first-innings points in the drawn two-day match before sweeping a pair of Twenty20s - there was no result in the one scheduled 50-over game then.The matches will serve as key preparation for USA ahead of their participation in ICC World Cricket League Division Four, which begins October 29 at the same venue. The Auty Cup had originally been slated for the weekend of October 22-23, but according to sources the series was mutually decided to be brought up a week in part so that USA can have an extra week of preparation after the Auty Cup and ahead of Division Four.The tentative plan is for members of USAs squad based outside of Los Angeles to fly in on October 12 and depart the night of the 16th before returning to Los Angeles the following weekend on October 22 for seven days of training and warm-up matches against local Los Angeles club sides leading into their first match of Division Four on October 29. The top two teams in the tournament, which also features Bermuda, Denmark, Italy, Jersey and Oman, will be promoted to WCL Division Three, scheduled for early 2017.Canada certainly have some very talented players, USA coach Pubudu Dassanayake, who coached Canada at the 2011 World Cup, said in a press release on Wednesday. This Auty Cup will be a very good test for our USA team. We are looking forward to the challenge.For Canada, these are the senior teams first international matches since the 2015 World T20 Qualifier in Scotland and Ireland, where they went winless to finish last in Group B. It is also the first 50-over matches for Canada since January 2015, when they finished in last place at the six-team Division Two tournament to be relegated to Division Three. Canada is joined in Division Three by Uganda, Singapore and Malaysia.Cricket Canada is excited about the opportunity to take on the USA again, Cricket Canada general manager Ingleton Liburd stated in a press release. We are hoping for some quality 50-over cricket, and hope we can retain the KA Auty Cup while we are on US soil.The ICC press release announcing the matches also declared that the Auty Cup matches, along with USA and Bermudas games at Division Four, will be used to help pick a 15-man squad for an ICC Americas Combined team to participate in the 2017 WICB Nagico Super50 regional tournament. The ICC Americas office had conducted an open trial in Indianapolis last September to help pick a combined team, which featured six USA and nine Canada players, for this years tournament.Following the Nagico Super50, six ICC Americas players received Caribbean Premier League contracts, an opportunity which is expected to be offered again for 2017.Wholesale Penguins Jerseys .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open.

I end up getting nauseas and headaches. Once a day Ill try to go out if I feel up to it, but I dont drive. Im basically living the life of a cave woman. If Im hungry, I eat. If Im tired, I sleep. No social media, no cell phones, no computers, no sports, no motorcycles. If I watch a movie, it has to be on a light subject, such as a comedy.DeJorias problems began two weeks ago, after she slammed into the wall at Las Vegas during her third qualifying run. That night when she activated her Funny Cars parachutes, they were sucked up under the car. They wrapped around the right-rear axle and got into the brakes, preventing her from slowing the car. The cars body then dug into the left-front tire and kept her from steering it away from the tracks left side. When her car slammed into the wall, her head smacked the roll cage.For several seconds, DeJoria said she could do nothing but hold her head with her hands while still wearing her helmet. She remembers telling members of the NHRAs Safety Safari team to just hold on, that she couldnt move, but she has no recollection as to how she exited her car.My team gives me a very well-prepared, safe race car, but these are still violent race cars; things happen that are out of our immediate control, DeJoria said. We know our job is a dangerous one.DeJoria decided to make her fourth qualifying run that day even though she didnt feel well. The next morning, she said she felt like she had a horrible hangover. She drank a cup of coffee, arrived at the track and participated in warm-ups. It was then that DeJoria realized she had a major problem. Her crew chief, Tommy DeLago, looked at his driver and told her she didnt look right. She knew it, too. She said she felt like a version of herself, almost as if she were having an out-of-body experience. DeJoria had qualified ninth, but her team decided withdrawing from the elimination round was the prudent thing to do.Two days after returning home to Austin, Texas, DeJoria was diagnosed with a concussion by doctors at Texas Sport and Family Medicine. She said they gave her a series of cognitive tests and she failed all of them. DeJoria said Saturday doesnt feel any better than she did then. She is considering seeing a specialist.?Every morning since that Saturday night run at Las Vegas I have woken up with headaches. I feel clouded, I feel hazy, DeJoria said. I cant handle too much noise or bright lights. I can only handle one task at a time.Every morning I wake up thinking, Is today going to be the day I feel better? Can I get in a race car today? And so far its been hell no.dddddddddddd I cant imagine me sitting in a race car at this moment and going down the race track. Its heartbreaking, but head trauma is nothing to mess around with. Its scary.DeJoria has reviewed NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.s comments about his concussionlike symptoms this year and has found similarities.I was reading an interesting article that Dale Earnhardt Jr. had written, and it was saying that he couldnt understand why his symptoms showed up so much later, DeJoria said. Hed had a few accidents and a few concussions, but the real big symptoms didnt really show up until much later.Such is the case for DeJoria. Even though it was the concussion she suffered at Las Vegas that sidelined her, it was not the beginning of her head trauma issues. They actually began the weekend of July 22-24 in Denver.We made a run late Friday night, DeJoria said. Ive been through tire shakes a lot in my career ... but this was a certain tire shake that rocked me so hard. ... I hadnt felt that kind of damage in a really long time. You literally felt your brain shaking around in fluid inside your skull and it hits the inside of your skull. I was so affected by it that I wanted to cry. Not because of the pain, but because of the way it made me feel. I felt dumb. I couldnt handle the lights, I couldnt handle sound. I just had to get back to my motor coach and go to sleep.The next day DeJoria said she felt hazy and had a headache, but shook it off. She lost in the first round.A week after the Denver event, DeJoria fractured her pelvic bone of the left iliac wing in an accident at Sonoma, California. She also slammed her head into the roll cage, but due to the severe pain from the broken bone in her pelvis, she brushed the head issue aside.DeJoria spent August recovering and returned in mid-September for the NHRAs Countdown to the Championship. She was 10th in the standings and, therefore, had qualified for the title run. The 39-year-old DeJoria remained 10th throughout the Countdown and was guaranteed a 10th-place finish in the standings after Las Vegas.She wanted to attend the awards banquet in Pomona that follows the season finale, but her doctor vetoed airplane travel. Her team didnt want to compete at Pomona without her, but she believed her crew needed to be there to finish the season on somewhat of a good note. Veteran Jeff Arend substituted for her.The show must go on, DeJoria said. I love my guys. I want them to have a good run at it, and well make it happen any way we can. I just needed extra time to get myself back in order.Deb Williams is a North Carolina-based writer and former editor.
