Brazil with plenty of options to replace Neymar at World Cup
DOHA, Qatar (AP) — With Neymar out for at least another match at the World Cup, Brazil coach Tite must now start thinking about a replacement — and this time he has plenty of options. Tite brought nine forwards to the World Cup, and could also add a midfielder as Neymar’s replacement if wanted. It's hard to find someone else on his level,” Brazil midfielder Casemiro said Saturday. Brazil, seeking its first World Cup title in two decades, faces Cameroon in its last group match.

Ben Stokes: 18-year-old Ahmed a very rare talent
England captain Ben Stokes has said that 18-year-old Rehan Ahmed, who has been called up to England's December test squad to face Pakistan, is a "very rare talent". He would become England's youngest-ever men's test player should he play for his country in Rawalpindi, Multan or Karachi. All-rounder Ahmed has featured in only three first-class matches for Leicestershire, taking nine wickets and making 195 runs across those appearances. But Stokes conceded that Ahmed still has much to learn and needs to be nurtured with the national team. "We're fully aware he's not the finished project and I think it's important for his inclusion not to be looked into too much.

Bangladesh publishers keep a tight rein on printing books as paper price rises
Publishers in Bangladesh are planning to cut back on printing creative books as paper prices have increased in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine war. Some others are considering raising book prices to cover the rising cost of production and living. The instability in the paper market dealt another blow to the industry. At Banglabazar in Dhaka, the largest book market of the country, most of the publishers are disappointed as they are struggling to publish new books. Ahmed Mahmudul Haque, the publisher of Mawla Brothers, feels that even if they overcome the impact of the coronavirus lockdowns, the unbridled price of paper will again cause losses.
