hello, i'm marc edwards with your fastest sports news. the england and wales cricket board has cancelled the joint tours of the men's and women's sides to pakistan next month. it follows a move by new zealand cricket to abandon their matches in the country on friday on security grounds. but, as patrick gearey now reports, the ecb have said england's withdrawal is to best protect the mental and physical well being of the players. in pakistan, wherever and whenever they can, people play cricket. the problem is getting visitors to come and join in. it's just got much tougher — as new zealand were on their way home after having cancelled a tour over security concerns last week, now england announced they won't be playing scheduled men's and women's matches, their first games in the country in 16 years. the cricket board said in a statement...

it's now more than 12 years since the sri lankan team bus was attacked by terrorists. pakistan were forced to play international matches in the middle east. getting cricket back has been a national crusade, flanked by troops guaranteed by governments. after pakistan agreed to play in england when the uk was at the centre of the coronavirus pandemic last summer, the ecb agreed to return the favour. but now, a huge moment for pakistani cricket is off. i'm extremely disappointed. so are the fans, actually. because right now, we needed england. because it's a small cricket fraternity that we have, so in such times, we were expecting cricket to just be a little bit more responsive and responsible, i guess.

these setbacks come after so much progress. the security situation in pakistan is generally thought to have improved, and other teams have visited. hosting international cricket matches could show how it's changed. that's why this hurts. it's not easy to find the words to express how disappointing this is. the fans were really looking forward to it, and i just cannot overstate the importance of needing to have england and regional teams coming in and giving the confidence for future tours. england say they are still planning to travel to pakistan next year, but after the week they've had, those in pakistani cricket may believe that when they see it on the pitch. patrick gearey, bbc news. the england lionesses manager sarina wiegman is strongly opposed to having a world cup every two years, saying, "players are not robots." fifa will hold a summit with its member associations and various fans groups at the end

of the month. they say that there is a broad consensus that the international men's and women's calendar needs to be "reformed and improved". the current programme of fixtures runs until the end of 2023. fifa's head of global development, arsene wenger, is in favour of a world cup every two years while wiegman most certainly isn't. i wouldn't do it. why is that? because i think it's not good for the players, for their welfare. in europe, we are very organised. we have good competitions. we have the euros, then the olympics. then you have the world cup, which are major tournaments for us from europe, and i think when you have all these tournaments every year, when are the players going to get some rest? and when are they going to recover from a very intense football year every year in a row?

players are not robots, so i don't think it's a very good idea. wycombe wanderers could take legal action against the club's relegation to league one. this comes after derby county's decision to enter administration that will see the championship club deducted 12 points. county's owner mel morris apologised to fans in a bbc interview yesterday, and also admitted that an ongoing financial fair play investigation is likely to result in a further points deduction. had this case been resolved by the football league last season, derby would have have been relegated instead of wycombe. i'm furious. i mean, how do you do this? he knew — and i guess this is the thing — he knew last summer when all this was going on, where this would end up, that he would end up with the points deduction, and they made a deliberate policy to wait until the end so they could get to this season, pick up the championship money, put us back into league one.

everton midfielderjames rodriguez has travelled to qatar for talks over a potential move to the middle east. the colombian has yet to play for new manager rafael benitez this season after missing a number of games because of a covid—related issue. he joined from real madrid a year ago and is reported to be on wages worth two hundred thousand pounds a week. ellen van dijk has won the road world championships time trial in belgium. the dutch rider, who came third last year, beat switzerland's marlen reusser. olympic champion annemiek van vleuten could only manage third. joscelin lowden was the highest placed briton, finishing eighth. and that's all the sport for now. hello. we saw some pretty decent weather across the country today, a
