The tournament titled Lanka T10 League will be played over 12 days in June 2023

Madushka Balasuriya21-Nov-2022Sri Lanka Cricket has pencilled in June 2023 for the launch of its inaugural T10 league. Titled the Lanka T10 League, the tournament will also host both a men’s and women’s tournament in the same slot first – meaning matches would take place “concurrently,” potentially on alternating days, though SLC is yet to iron out the details.Related

Lanka Premier League 2022 to run from December 6 to 23, SLC confirms

SLC also announced that six men’s teams and four women’s teams will take part, with each to be named after a Sri Lankan city – similar to those in the Lanka Premier League.While the precise dates and venues are yet to be finalised, it is expected that venues in Kandy and Hambantota will likely host the matches, while SLC anticipates substantial player registrations – over 1600, which was the number for the most recent Abu Dhabi T10 League – for the yet to be announced player draft.Each team will be allowed a 16-member squad, in which there can be a maximum of six foreign players.The tournament will be held over 12 days in June next year. However, going forward it is understood that SLC will look to hold it in December, with the LPL set for the August window.”Next year also we will have the LPL in December, but going forward we have reserved a window in August for that,” SLC CEO Ashley de Silva said. “So for next year, we will have the Lanka T10 in June and the LPL in December, but from 2024 onwards, the T10 tournament will move to December and the LPL to August.”Sri Lanka has long been a proponent of T10 cricket, with it being the first Full Member to sanction and endorse its players to participate in the Abu Dhabi T10 League. Since then, the cricket boards in the West Indies, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have followed suit.

RMTV launched a fresh attack on refereesCopa final referee Bengoetxea under scrutinyPointed out several "mistakes" of the refereeFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

Known for their practice of scrutinising referees publicly, Real Madrid’s in-house media arm has taken another opportunity to question the integrity and consistency of match officials, placing De Burgos Bengoetxea at the centre of their latest controversy. The Basque official, aged 39, is no stranger to Spain’s biggest fixtures and with several El Clásico appearances already on his résumé, his selection for this high-stakes final initially appeared to be a testament to his experience.

AdvertisementTHE BIGGER PICTURE

According to Spanish outlet , the club’s television network highlighted a series of what they claim to be glaring officiating "mistakes" by De Burgos Bengoetxea in matches involving Real Madrid. The video points out Real Madrid’s relatively poor record when officiated by De Burgos Bengoetxea. With only a 64% win rate under his supervision, Los Blancos appear to struggle when he’s on the pitch. In contrast, Barcelona reportedly thrives, having secured victory in 81% of their matches with him in charge.

Adding further weight to their argument, Real Madrid TV noted that the club has managed just two wins from their last five games with the referee. The concern, they claim, isn't just about a single match, but a broader trend that raises doubts about fairness and balance.

DID YOU KNOW

Critics of the appointment have also drawn attention to De Burgos Bengoetxea's continental track record—or lack thereof. Although he has held international referee status since 2018, he has never officiated a UEFA Champions League fixture. Furthermore, FIFA has yet to include him in any of their global tournaments. Despite his absence on the global stage, De Burgos Bengoetxea has found favour in Spain, especially in matches involving the country's biggest sides. This upcoming title decider marks his third time officiating a Real Madrid vs Barcelona final, having previously overseen the Super Cup clashes in 2017 and 2023.

Paulo Sousa está ciente da necessidade por vitórias imponentes diante de seu já impaciente torcedor, mesmo que a diretoria,que se mantém em silêncio, não cogite mudanças de rumo no momento.

A primeira de cinco partidas no Maracanã ocorrerá nesta terça, em duelo contra aUniversidad Católica, pelo Grupo H da Libertadores. As outras serão contra Goiás (Brasileiro), Sporting Cristal (Libertadores), Fluminense (Brasileiro) e Fortaleza (Brasileiro).

A respeito de Jorge Jesus, o técnico chegou a dizer, quando aterrissou em Lisboa, após uma estadia ecoante no Rio em que teve o seu desejo de voltar ao Flamengo externado, que não trabalharia no Brasil no momento.

Vale lembrar ainda que Jesus está em negociações avançadas com oFenerbahçe, da Turquia, que está em compasso de espera pelo treinador lusitano desde o fim do mês passado.

Tottenham Hotspur have made a fresh approach to sign a £60m-rated Premier League player, according to one journalist.

Spurs and Ange eye more signings after Kinsky

Ange Postecoglou and Daniel Levy have already secured Spurs’ first new addition of 2025, bringing in goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague.

The shot-stoper has already made and impressed on his debut, keeping a clean sheet in the 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.

Attention now seems to be on more additions, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano previously saying that Spurs could be “busy” with two or possibly three signings.

“They have already told the manager that they will do something. So I expect January to be busy for Spurs,” Romano said to GiveMeSport before the January window opened.

“I think it could be two signings, maybe three, I’m not sure, but it will depend on opportunities. But Tottenham are exploring options, Tottenham are actively working on scouting and following players. So I think for Tottenham it will be a busy month.”

With a goalkeeper already secured, further additions could come higher up the pitch, with Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani heavily linked with a move to north London.

Spurs are actively exploring a possible move for Kolo Muani, whereas in midfield, Tottenham have also been offered Inter Milan’s Davide Frattesi, who is reportedly “frustrated” with his current employers.

Tottenham ready to pursue £29m January deal with key meeting this week

Daniel Levy is gearing up to do “business” with one club.

As well as exploring the market in Europe, a number of Premier League players have also been mooted as Tottenham targets in 2025.

Spurs held internal talks over a move for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite before the turn of the year, whereas Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes was wanted last summer. Now, it looks as if a move for Gomes, valued at £60m by those at Molineux, is being considered once more.

Tottenham make fresh approach for Wolves star

According to journalist Rudy Galetti, Tottenham are among the clubs who have made contact to ask for “fresh” information over a deal to sign Gomes. Wolves will only consider selling for a huge fee, though, with rivals Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United also named in the update.

Gomes is a central midfielder who can also play in a holding role if needed and has seen his Transfermarkt value rocket to a career high €40m. The Brazil international joined Wolves in January 2023 and came in for plenty of praise from Micah Richards last year, with the pundit saying Gomes is “going to the top”.

“We have to give a quick shoutout to Gomes of Wolves. Oh my word, what a player he is by the way. I didn’t have the team-sheet and I didn’t have my glasses on and I was thinking, “who’s this guy?” I couldn’t even see until I got my glasses on but Gomes, he is a player by the way.

“Obviously, we don’t get to see Wolves too much on TV. We see them on Match of the Day. Seeing him up close and personal, his touches, his anticipation when he’s winning the ball back and his weight of ball forward. Sorry Wolves fans, he’s going to the top that lad.”

Whether or not his next move is to Spurs remains to be seen, but it appears as if Gomes is a Premier League player in demand currently.

Liverpool continue to fly high top of the Premier League table, despite Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Fulham at Anfield, which was, remarkably, just the fourth time in 23 matches since Arne Slot’s arrival that the Reds have failed to win in any competition.

This is truly remarkable given the aforementioned change of manager as well as Liverpool’s lack of outlay during the summer transfer market.

Federico Chiesa, who joined from Juventus for a fee of £12.5m, was the only senior addition to Slot’s squad.

The Italian has, to date, had a minimal impact since arriving on Merseyside however, making just three appearances totalling a miserly 78 minutes due to a persistent muscle injury, which was flagged as a potential issue when he arrived, with the winger himself admitting that injuries have “slowed down my career”.

Meantime, a reported £30m was spent to secure the services of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, but he was immediately loaned back to Valencia, set to arrive next summer, which sets up an interesting dynamic as the Georgian, as well as Alisson and Caoimhín Kelleher, all battle for the number one shirt.

Thus, in summary, Liverpool’s success so far has been built upon a bed-rock of Jürgen Klopp’s core players, and it may have been the sale of one of Klopp’s most trusted lieutenants that has proved to be the best piece of business the Reds have done in recent times.

Jürgen Klopp's key players

Back in May, Klopp departed Liverpool as a true club legend, on par with Bob Paisley, Bill Shankly and Kenny Dalglish.

During nigh-on a decade on Merseyside, the German hoisted aloft a Community Shield, two EFL Cups, the UEFA Super Cup, a FIFA Club World Cup, an FA Cup, reached the Champions League Finals, winning one of them, and, most notably ended the Reds’ 30-year wait for a Premier League title, a draught that had defined the whole club’s identity for generations.

During this incredibly successful stint, Klopp certainly relied upon many tried and trusted figures, who will also go down as club icons.

Fabinho's post-Liverpool career

Back in July 2023, Fabinho was sold to Al-Ittihad for £40m, which more or less saw the Reds break even, despite the fact the Brazilian was now 30 years old, having spent five seasons at Anfield.

While on Merseyside, Klopp called him “one of the best in the world at number six”, hence why he was reluctant to sell.

During the summer of 2023 though, Saudi Pro League clubs spent over £750m, making the money difficult to turn down, although spending, attendances and general interest in the league have all plateaued in recent months, with the high-profile players who’d moved to the Middle East disappearing into obscurity.

For Fabinho specifically, when he arrived at Al-Ittihad, they were reigning champions, but finished fifth last season, with manager Nuno Espírito Santo replaced by Marcelo Gallardo, but he only lasted 33 matches before returning to River Plate.

Now led by Laurent Blanc, the Jeddah-based outfit are top of the table, following Friday’s 2-1 victory over Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.

The Brazilian’s time in Saudi Arabia has been blighted by injury, making 45 appearances but missing 19 games since his debut, underlining that Liverpool really struck gold by cashing in on Fabinho when they did, replacing him with Ryan Gravenberch for a similar fee, who is nine years his junior.

The Dutchman has been widely praised for his performances this season, Dinesh Kumar describing him as “absolutely sensational” against Fulham on Sunday, also ranked as Liverpool’s joint-third best player by Sofascore, and Gravenberch may not be at Anfield had it not been for the well-timed sale of Fabinho.

Dream Salah replacement: Liverpool in talks to sign "Europe's best player"

Liverpool reportedly have this exceptional star on their radar.

ByKelan Sarson Dec 15, 2024

No Chelsea supporter could have envisioned the immediate impact Enzo Maresca would have had during his opening months in charge at Stamford Bridge.

The Italian raised some eyebrows after his summer appointment from Leicester City, with many questioning the appointment after the dismissal of Mauricio Pochettino at the end of last season.

However, he’s exceeded all expectations during the first few months at the helm, leading the Blues to second place in the Premier League after 15 matches, just four points off current leaders Liverpool.

He’s also led the club to a 100% start to the Europa Conference League campaign, remaining as just one of two sides winning every one of their matches on the European stage.

Todd Boehly has massively backed the club since his takeover, with the summer window of 2024 no different after bringing the 44-year-old in and tasking him with the challenge of leading the club back to the top of the English top division.

Chelsea’s transfer window in the summer of 2024

After his failed stint with Manchester United, winger Jadon Sancho was given a lifeline to resurrect his once-promising career after completing a move to join the Blues.

The Englishman arrived on loan with an obligation to buy, already making an impact in West London after his summer move to the club.

Sancho has already registered two goals and four assists in his first ten matches for the Blues, starring at the top end of the pitch, helping them reach the early heights during Maresca’s reign.

Pedro Neto was another attacker who joined the club, aiming to bring added firepower to the squad to supercharge their top-four ambitions – something which now looks like a real possibility after their recent form.

The Portuguese has registered the same number of goal contributions as fellow forward Sancho, catching the eye with his direct dribbling ability and pace off either flank.

However, the same can’t be said for another summer addition, who has simply been unable to transfer his skill set onto the current side, with his future already up in the air just months after his big-money move.

The £80k-p/w player Chelsea need to cut their losses on

Boss Maresca wasn’t the only person to arrive in London from Leicester during the off-season, with midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall also swapping the East Midlands for the capital.

The 26-year-old moved in a £30m deal after helping secure promotion last season, registering 12 goals and 15 assists in the process – winning the Foxes’ Player of the Year award.

However, despite all the promise of playing a starring role under the Italian, Dewsbury-Hall has barely had the chance to flourish, making the big-money fee now look like a complete waste of money.

As a result, reports have suggested that Aston Villa are interested in making a move for the Englishman in the upcoming January transfer window, with former side Leicester also targeting a surprise return for the ace.

Given the fact the midfielder, who earns £80k-per-week at the Bridge, has only featured for a total of 56 minutes in the league to date, it could be the right call to allow him to leave and cut their losses.

It’s a real shame that he’s yet to impress for the Blues, especially after receiving huge praise from the manager, who dubbed him as “fantastic” after their time together at the King Power last season.

However, ultimately, given his age, he’s coming into the prime years as a professional, desperately needing regular game time to progress after his stellar campaign in the Championship throughout 2023/24.

Villa could be a great opportunity for him to feature in England’s top flight whilst also featuring in the Champions League this season, something which he’s currently unable to do at Chelsea.

There’s no denying Dewsbury-Hall is a hugely talented player, as seen from his time at Leicester, but the move hasn’t worked out, with Maresca and Boehly needing to cash in to prevent losing millions on their recent investment.

رفض نادي أوساسونا رفع راية الاستسلام فيما يخص الشكوى التي تقدم بها ضد نظيره برشلونة فيما يخص مشاركة اللاعب إينيجو مارتينيز، في مباراتهما نهاية شهر مارس الماضي.

وتلاقى الفريقان في مباراة مؤجلة على ملعب “مونتجويك” في بطولة الدوري الإسباني، حيث فاز برشلونة بثلاثة أهداف دون رد.

واعترض أوساسونا على مشاركة إينيجو مارتينيز في تلك المباراة رفقة برشلونة، بحجة عدم المدة القانونية الموضوعة من جانب الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم.

وتم استبعاد إينيجو مارتينيز من معسكر منتخب إسبانيا، في شهر مارس الماضي خلال فترة التوقف الدولي، بسبب الإصابة.

وتشير إحدى قوانين فيفا إلى ضرورة مرور 5 أيام على آخر مباراة في التوقف الدولي، قبل مشاركة اللاعب المصاب رفقة ناديه.

ولم يطبق برشلونة تلك المادة على إينيجو مارتينيز، حسب رؤية أوساسونا، مما استوجب تقدمهم بشكوى، تم رفضها بشكل رسمي اليوم.

ورأت لجنة المسابقات في الاتحاد الملكي الإسباني لكرة القدم أنه لم يكن هناك أي مخالفة من جانب برشلونة، حيث تم تنفيذ عملية انسحاب اللاعب بشكل صحيح ووفقًا للوائح.

اقرأ أيضًا.. فليك يترك الباب مواربًا بشأن مستقبله مع برشلونة ويتجاهل التركيز على ريال مدريد

ولكن نادي أوساسونا أبدى غضبه الشديد في بيان جديد، اليوم الجمعة، حيث قال: “تلقينا صباح اليوم إخطارًا من جانب لجنة المسابقات بقرار رفض الطعن المقدم بشأن مشاركة إينيجو مارتينيز لاعب برشلونة في مباراتنا يوم 17 مارس، وفي ضوء قرار لجنة المسابقات، نبدي الملاحظات التالية:

1- تنص المادة 5 من الملحق 1 من لوائح فيفا على ما يلي: “لا يحق للاعب الذي يستدعيه اتحاده لأحد فرقه، ما لم يوافق الاتحاد المعني على خلاف ذلك، اللعب للنادي الذي ينتمي إليه خلال فترة إجازته أو التي من المفترض أن تستمر، وفقًا لأحكام هذا الملحق، بالإضافة إلى فترة خمسة أيام إضافية”.

ومن المؤكد أن هذه الأيام الخمسة لم تكن قد انقضت وقت مشاركة إينيجو مارتينيز في المباراة مع برشلونة، وبناءً على ذلك استندت لجنة المسابقات في قرارها إلى عبارة “ما لم يوافق الاتحاد المعني على خلاف ذلك”.

مع ذلك، فإن البلاغ الصادر عن الاتحاد الملكي الإسباني لكرة القدم بتاريخ 17 مارس بشأن انسحاب إينيجو مارتينيز من المنتخب الإسباني يقتصر على إجازة طبية، ويتضمن معلومات طبية تمثل سبب الانسحاب ومبرره.

لذلك، نرى أن الانسحاب لا يستند إلى “اتفاق” مع الاتحاد الإسباني لكرة القدم، بل إلى مجرد إجازة طبية للاعب.

2- ينص قرار لجنة المسابقات على أنه “في هذه الحالة، يوافق الاتحاد على مغادرة اللاعبين معسكر التدريب دون أي قيود، وإصداره شهادة الانسحاب لاحقًا، ومن ثم عدم تطبيق هذه القاعدة المُحظورة، مع العلم أنه بإمكانهم اللعب لناديهم”.

لا نوافق على أن الإعلان المذكور سلفًا يتضمن “إشعارًا ضمنيًا بنية الاتحاد الإسباني عدم تطبيق القاعدة”.

ومن ثم، فإن الأمر الواضح والموضوعي والملموس هو البلاغ الصريح، الذي لم يتضمن أي إشارة إلى “السماح للاعبين بمغادرة معسكر التدريب دون فرض أي نوع من القيود”.

ولم تتم الإشارة إلى ذلك لا في البيان العام المنشور على موقع الاتحاد الإسباني لكرة القدم، ولا في المراسلات التي تلقاها ناديا أوساسونا وبرشلونة في 17 مارس الماضي بشأن غياب لاعبيهما برايان سرقسطة وإينيجو مارتينيز لأسباب طبية.

3- يؤكد قرار لجنة المسابقات ببساطة أن الخدمات الطبية للمنتخب الوطني قد صدقت على المعلومات الطبية التي قدمها برشلونة، دون تقديم أي تفاصيل إضافية.

ونرى أن الظروف الطبية المحيطة بهذه القضية ذات أهمية خاصة، نظرًا لأن غياب اللاعب عن الفريق لأسباب طبية وتعافيه السريع هو ما يستلزم مشاركته في مباراة الدوري.

ولذلك، نرى أنه من المناسب تناول هذه المسألة بمزيد من التفصيل أكثر من قرار لجنة المسابقات.

ووفقًا للملف الذي اطلعنا عليه، وافقت الخدمات الطبية للمنتخب الوطني على أن إينيجو مارتينيز لن يحضر إلى المقر في لاس روزاس للخضوع للفحص الطبي الإلزامي، حيث أكد برشلونة أنه سيجري اختبارات على اللاعب عند وصوله إلى النادي بعد مباراة أتلتيكو مدريد في الليجا.

في الواقع، أرسلنا برايان سرقسطة إلى لاس روزاس يوم الإثنين 17 مارس، لأنه لم يتمكن من ضمان إجراء هذه الاختبارات الإضافية في بامبلونا في الوقت المناسب، لذلك من المدهش أن التقرير الطبي لـ برشلونة، المدرج في الملف والمصدق عليه من قِبل الاتحاد الإسباني لكرة القدم، مؤرخ في 16 مارس، وهو التاريخ الذي انتهت فيه مباراته ضد أتلتيكو مدريد في نفس اليوم، الساعة 11:00 مساءً، وأنه أُرسل عبر البريد الإلكتروني إلى الاتحاد الإسباني لكرة القدم الساعة 2:33 صباحًا يوم 17 مارس، دون أي ذكر للفحوصات الإضافية، والتي لم تُدرج أيضًا في الملف.

ولا يوجد حتى أي ذكر في الملف أو في قرار المسابقة لإجراء مثل هذه الفحوصات، التي طلبها رئيس الخدمات الطبية في الاتحاد الإسباني لكرة القدم، كما أن التقرير الطبي لا يتضمن أي تفاصيل.

وأخيرًا، نعرب عن تعجبنا من تعليق نادي برشلونة القائل بأنه “من غير اللائق بناديٍ بتاريخ نادي أوساسونا إثارة شكوكٍ حول احتمالية الاحتيال”، في حين أنه من المنطقي تمامًا إثارة شكوكٍ جدية في ضوء الحقائق المذكورة.

ومن المثير للدهشة أن هذا التعليق، على الرغم من سخريته وخلوه من المضمون، يصدر عن أشخاصٍ يفترض بهم مراجعة تصرفاتهم خلال الفترة الأخيرة من تاريخ نادي برشلونة.

وبالنظر إلى رفضنا القرار المعلن عنه اليوم، سنتقدم باستئناف لدى لدى لجنة الاستئناف التابعة للاتحاد الملكي الإسباني لكرة القدم، وهي جهة مشاركة بوضوح في القضية المذكورة.

Enzo Maresca is now insisting that Chelsea move on from Victor Osimhen and sign a different striker to complement Nicolas Jackson at Stamford Bridge, according to a fresh report.

Chelsea's striker situation unclear

Jackson has enjoyed an excellent start to the season, grabbing six goals in ten Premier League outings so far and a further three assists. His form has been rewarded with a new contract, which ties him to the club until 2031, and his future in west London appears set in stone just 12 months after his arrival from Villarreal.

But beyond the Senegal international, Chelsea’s striker situation is far less clear. David Datro Fofana has been sent out on loan, but has started just two games so far in Turkey, while the signing of Marc Guiu from the Barcelona academy over the summer has had similar results, with the Spaniard not having been in any of Maresca’s last six Premier League squads.

Christopher Nkunku has also been overlooked regularly, with the Frenchman not having started in the top flight since the opening day of the season, and summer signing Joao Felix is yet to start a Premier League game.

The Blues were linked with a move for Napoli star man Victor Osimhen over the summer, only for a deal to fall through and the Nigerian striker to join Galatasaray on loan instead, where he has scored four times in five Turkish Super Lig outings.

Chelsea have reportedly remained in contact over a potential January move, but other options are also under consideration, and Maresca is pushing to sign an alternative.

Maresca wants Spanish star

Now, a fresh report from Spain has claimed that Chelsea boss Maresca is pushing hard to try and get Chelsea to sign new Porto star Samu Omorodion in place of Osimhen. Chelsea were in talks to sign the Spanish U21 international over the summer as part of the deal to sell Conor Gallagher to Atlético Madrid, but the deal fell through, and they moved to sign Felix instead.

Chelsea and Maresca ready to axe player who's cost them over £7m in wages

It would be a bold decision to part ways with him.

Omorodion still left the Wanda Metropolitano, heading to Porto in a deal worth £12.7m plus potential add-ons, and handing Atleti a mammoth 50% sell on clause for any future deal.

He has hit the ground running in Portugal too, netting seven times in seven outings for Porto as well as four times in three Europa League outings, delivering on the “elite” label placed upon him by Football Analyst Ben Mattinson, who warned on X that he was “far too good” for the Portuguese league.

Now, Maresca is ‘insisting’ that Chelsea push to sign him once more as they look to bolster their frontline, but they will have to pay almost seven times what Porto paid to sign him, with the striker having a €100m (£84m) release clause, of which Atletico are due to get half.

It is added that “Samu is very happy with the Portuguese team”, but that should an offer come in, he could see his head turned by the prospect of a new project.

A deal in January seems unlikely, but with Omorodion having slipped through Chelsea’s net once already, they may be keen to avoid a repeat if he continues to perform.

He was in charge as USA moved up from Division Four of the WCL, in November 2016, to ODI status in April 2019 after they secured a top-four finish at WCL Division Two.As a cricketer, Dassanayake, now 51, played 11 Tests and 16 ODIs as a wicketkeeper for Sri Lanka between 1993 and 1994, before Romesh Kaluwitharana became the preferred keeper for the national team. By the turn of the millennium, he was spending his off seasons playing as an overseas club pro for Centurions CC in the Toronto suburb of Brampton. By 2001, he had left Sri Lanka for good.Though he didn’t have hopes of continuing as a cricketer in Canada, his performances with Centurions CC helped him make the Canada team once he had completed his four-year residency requirement. He made his debut at 34 in the 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland, where he helped Canada qualify for the 2007 World Cup. He couldn’t take part in the tournament, though, because of his commitments as a duty manager at the Toronto Cricket, Skating & Curling Club.At 36, after the 2007 World Cup, he took over as the coach of the Canada side, and has been a professional coach since.Whatmore, whose shoes Dassanayake will fill, was appointed to the position in Nepal in December 2020 and took charge in early 2021, with qualification for the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia the stated focus. Whatmore, however, decided to step down shortly into his job, and it was understood at the time that his decision was influenced by the Covid-19 pandemic, which had made it difficult for him to see his family because of travel restrictions.
