Germany squad for Women's Euro 2025: Rauch and Anyomi excluded after criticising coach Wuck
Germany has retained 11 players who reached the 2022 Women's European Championship final for Euro 2025. There's no place for two prominent critics of coach Christian Wuck.
The 23-player squad announced on Thursday is captained by Bayern Munich's Giulia Gwinn, one of the returning players from the team which lost to England in the 2022 final.
North Carolina Courage defender Felicitas Rauch and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Nicole Anyomi were in the 2022 squad but aren't this time.

Both have previously criticised Wuck for what they called a lack of communication around his decision not to pick them for earlier squads. Rauch was among 12 players included in a reserve list on Thursday.
The 20-year-old forward Cora Zicai is considered one of Germany's brightest young players after scoring two goals in her three national team games.
Germany starts its Euro 2025 campaign in Switzerland on July 4 with a group game against Poland, followed by Denmark on July 8 and Sweden on July 12.
Since the last Euros, Germany suffered its worst-ever World Cup result in 2023 with elimination in the group stage, but rebounded to win the bronze medal at last year's Paris Olympics.
Full squad
Goalkeepers: Ann Katrin-Berger, Stina Johannes, Mahmutovic
Defenders: Guilia Gwinn, Kathrin Hendrich, Franziska Kett, Sophia Kleinherne, Rebecca Knaak, Sarai Linder, Janina Minge, Carlotta Wamser
Midfielders/Forwards: Jule Brand, Klara Buhl, Selina Cerci, Sara Dabritz, Linda Dallmann, Laura Freigang, Giovanna Hoffman, Sydney Lohmann, Sjoeke Nusken, Lea Schuller, Elisa Sens, Cora Zicai

Suruchi Phogat makes it a hat-trick of gold in women's 10m air pistol at the ISSF World Cup in Munich
Suruchi Phogat (PTI) Pune: At 19, Suruchi Phogat is busy writing history and rewriting it. The Haryana shooter added one more chapter to her career by winning the gold medal in women's 10m air pistol at the ISSF World Cup in Munich. On Friday, she made it a hat-trick of individual gold medals and took her senior international score to 5/5 — five medals in five tournaments. She has become the first Indian to achieve this feat. Suruchi made her international debut at the Buenos Aires World Cup in April. She then competed in Lima and now the ongoing Munich edition. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In the three individual matches played so far, she has won gold thrice in 10m air pistol events. She also won a gold and a bronze in 10m air pistol mixed competition.

'I am happy but not surprised by my win. I think this is what we train for, to win gold medals,' Suruchi said. When asked if there was any pressure on her after the first two successful editions of the World Cup, she said, 'Fortunately, I don't take pressure of winning medals at all. I have people around me who try to keep me away from the pressure. All I do is train and focus on each shot as that will help me improve. I don't think about the results,' she said. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? Former Commonwealth Games champion and now head coach of the pistol team, Samaresh Jung, feels it is the attitude that makes Suruchi such a force. 'She has been shooting fantastic. Her technique is good but what is unique about her shooting is her attitude. I have observed that anything below gold doesn't excite her. She thrives to win the top place on the podium and it is working very well for her. I am not sure how, but she needs to be protected from undue pressure and expectations from everybody around her,' Jung said. Meanwhile, Paris Games double medallist Manu couldn't qualify for the final after finishing 25th with 574. Palak was 36th with 570. In the men's 25m rapid fire pistol event, all three Indians failed to enter the 6-man final. Anish was the top shooter for India in the 18th spot (581).

Australia win-loss record in ICC finals: Can South Africa inflict rare defeat in WTC 2025?
Pat Cummins' Australia are on the brink of enduring a feeling that has not been experienced by a bunch of serial winners for over a decade. The senior core of Australia's ICC World Test Championship 2025 final playing XI against South Africa at Lord's have not suffered a defeat in an ICC tournament final, across formats. For Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Steve Smith have won every final Australia have contested in the last decade, including the 2015 and 2023 ODI World Cups, the 2021 T20 World Cup, and the last ICC World Test Championship final against India in 2023. For cricket's most successful international team, losing finals or ICC finals for that matter has been a rarefied event that their former captain Smith might be the first and only Australian player thus far to be part of two ICC finals defeats. Starting as a leg-spinning all-rounder, Smith was part of Australia's last finals defeat during the T20 World Cup 2010 against England in Barbados. Batting first, Australia could only gather 147 runs in 20 overs before England romped to a seven-wicket victory to mark their first ICC title triumph under the leadership of Paul Collingwood. Smith is the only member from that Australia XI to be part of the WTC 2025 final, staring at the possibility of defeat to South Africa while attempting to defend 281 runs. South Africa are 69 runs away from victory and inflicting a rare defeat to the Aussies in the ICC finals, one that has only occurred once since 2001 and twice in the previous century. Having won 10 ICC titles across formats, Australia's first defeat came in their maiden ICC final appearance, taking on the mighty West Indies in the first men's World Cup final in 1975. A Mark Taylor-led unit also missed out on winning the 1996 World Cup, losing to a belligerent Sri Lankan side, led by Aravinda de Silva's century in the final in Lahore. A defeat to South Africa will spell the end to a 15-year spotless record and only a fourth loss across 14 ICC finals in 50 years.
