Foxes coach Thomas tips Green for England
Despite being given only a handful of first-team opportunities by Leicestershire, Green has been a mainstay of the England Lions side this summer and took 3-50 against India Under-19's at Northampton in June.The teenager refused to take the limelight for Wednesday's six-wicket victory, however, instead focusing on his side's disciplined display."Of course I'm very happy, but I'm just glad we could get over the line as a team. I think nobody stood out, everyone played their part very, very well," Green said."I feel like my rhythm got better during the innings. It was a nice pitch to bowl on, so it felt good. Physically, bowling-wise, everything has come on quite nicely."Green joined Leicestershire at the age of 10 and said his love of cricket comes from his father and brother, who both played while he was growing up."They were both here today," he added."I haven't spoken to them yet, but hopefully they were impressed with it."Click here to listen to the full episode of Talking Foxes, which includes interviews with Alfonso Thomas, Alex Green and Leicestershire chief executive Sean Jarvis.

'Most important thing to a good start to a season is early recruitment'
Without early recruitment "you are always trying to play catch-up", says David Moyes' former assistant Steve season got off to a difficult start on Monday as they lost 1-0 away to promoted side were out-played in the first-half as manager Moyes tries to contend with a high turnover of players this summer."The most important thing to a good start to a season is early recruitment," Round told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast."You get the chance to work for six weeks of pre-season with your team - getting them in shape, in the way you want to play and with your identity, that stature and structurer you want to get in place."But, if you don't get new recruits in until the last week [of the transfer window] - and you saw that with Jack Grealish against Leeds - you can't really embed them into the way you want to play. You are always trying to play catch up and it's very, very difficult."The Toffees have brought in seven new faces so far this transfer window, but that comes off the back of a campaign where a starting XI's worth of players left the had been vocal during pre-season about the need to bolster the a thin squad, saying after a 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth that they needed at least six more players."Everton are starting to get one or two better players through the door, and I think they'll get two or three more before the end of the window. But, it will have been really frustrating for David not having them at the start of the transfer window so they can work with the team," Round added."They need cover at left-back. Probably need a right-back to cover Seamus Coleman there. They also probably need a really good central midfielder and another centre forward. A quality striker to be the real number nine."Listen back on BBC Sounds

Tyson Fury teases major announcement after pulling yet another retirement U-turn as £300m Anthony Joshua fight looms
TYSON FURY has teased that a major announcement is on the horizon amid his continued tooing and froing from retirement. The Gypsy King kicked up a fuss in the aftermath of his second straight defeat to Oleksandr Usyk last December and announced his FIFTH retirement from boxing. 4 4 But he performed a public U-turn in April as he campaigned for a trilogy fight with the two-time undisputed heavyweight king. The Wythenshawe warrior, however, dashed the hopes of fans excited to see him fight again earlier this month by claiming he will " NEVER" set foot inside the ring again. But he's once again left the boxing world on tenterhooks by revealing he's set to make a big announcement. He said on his Instagram story on Monday: "I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned." Fury, who celebrated his 37th birthday earlier this month, has arguably the biggest payday of his career awaiting him if he does decide to lace up his gloves again. A lucrative and long-overdue battle with Brit rival Anthony Joshua is in the offing for the dad-of-seven. But the former two-time king of the heavyweights could seemingly care little about fighting again, telling Sky Sports when asked if he'd return to the ring: "Never. Really! "[I'm] too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing 's a young man's game." Fury's latest comments on a return to the squared circle are in stark contrast to the admission he made about fighting last month. Speaking ahead of Usyk's rematch with Daniel Dubois at Wembley, he said: "I do miss it. Tyson Fury, 36, claims he will 'NEVER' return to boxing just weeks after announcing comeback and hints at new career "Every single day I wake up in the morning and miss it. "I've been away seven months, missed it every day. I'm open to offers at the moment. "I'm not going to be doing any comebacks this year, that's for sure. "I'm busy, as you can see, I've got Netflix here. I've got the biggest announcement of the year incoming. Stay tuned!" Tyson Fury on Instagram 4 "And then next year, the big GK is going to make a f***ing comeback. "The takeover! I'm gonna be 37 in about three weeks. "I'm going to be the oldest swinger with all these young boys coming up.

'Deals are likely to go to the wire' as Everton try and bolster squad
The James Tarkowski penalty debate is still raging and while David Moyes was furious with the decision, I know it is unlikely to have been that which kept him up last night. He will be more concerned with his side's performance after just one shot on target.A serious rebuild is needed at Everton after 12 players went out the exit door over the summer. Many, it can be argued, were not good enough to launch an assault on the European places this season but, even so, it has left the squad was obvious the transfer window would be a slow burner for the Toffees during their trip to America last month. The squad for the Premier League Summer Series was padded out with under-21 players and the manager himself announced he was looking to bringin "nine or 10" more in the coming arrival of Jack Grealish on loan last week did create a buzz. It has been a good while since the Blue half of Merseyside made a marquee signing. You could argue the England star is the first big name since the arrival of James Rodriguez in 2020 - though it should be said no fans got to see the Columbia winger play in the flesh because of the pandemic!However, that good feeling Grealish created driving into Finch Farm disappeared as fast as the travelling Blues left Elland Road on Monday night. It is very clear the club needs numbers - and midfielder James Garner was forced to play at left-back while Jake O'Brien, who has made his desires to return to being a centre-back clear, has been the first-choice right-back since Moyes returned last term. Just two examples of how lacking Everton are right is my understand that deals are likely to go to the wire on deadline day simply because, while Everton are within the profit and sustainability rules threshold, they are not allowed to spend big so it means there is competition for the players they are looking only consolation for fans is the window shuts at 19:00 BST so at least it will not be a late night waiting for news.
