The MCC University (MCCU) scheme has received a significant boost with news that a sponsor has been found to cover previous cuts in funding. Cheap Predators Jerseys .The MCC announced earlier this year that they were to cut their funding of the programme by around 50% (from over ￡550,000 a year to around ￡275,000 a year) from the start of 2017. With the ECB unwilling to make-up the shortfall, the long-term viability of the scheme had been in doubt.But now Deloitte, the accountancy and consultancy firm, have been secured on a two-year deal. While the search for more sponsors and longer term deals goes on, the centres can expect higher levels of funding than anticipated this year and less of a shortfall than feared next.Around 23% of current England-qualified cricketers involved in the first-class game developed in part through the MCCU scheme which has six centres in Oxford, Cambridge, Cardiff, Durham, Loughborough and Leeds-Bradford. Among the players to have graduated through the system are director of cricket for the England team, Andrew Strauss, Ireland captain William Porterfield, Surreys Zafar Ansari, former England spinner Monty Panesar, Kents Sam Billings and England Womens captain, Heather Knight.Set-up by former England opener Graeme Fowler in 1996, the aim was to ensure young people did not have to choose between education and cricket. By providing them with good quality coaching and playing opportunities at the same time as allowing them to gain a further education, the scheme not only encourages some into sport who might otherwise be lost, but prepares those who do break into the professional for the life after their sporting retirement.Fowler has long argued that the ECB have a duty of care to fund the scheme, suggesting it helps avoid some of the pitfalls encountered by players as they look for opportunities once their on-field careers come to an end.Not only does this scheme encourage more of the best and brightest players to pursue a career in the game, Fowler told ESPNcricinfo in March, but it honours the duty of care we should have to them at both ends of their career.While the programme perhaps does not generate the coverage it deserves - it sometimes suffers for being judged on its short-term, on-field results rather than its long-term, off-field impact - a strong case could be mounted to suggest it offers, alongside the PCAs personal development programme, one of the most positive developments in player welfare since the introduction of pensions and insurance policies. It receives no direct funding from the ECB.It easily represents the biggest outlay of funds made each year by the MCC on cricket projects. The MCC has, over the last decade, spent more than ￡6.5m on the project and, in addition to the six MCCU centres, includes the funding of the MCC Combined Universities side (which consists of cricketers unsigned by the first-class counties and has just enjoyed its best season in the 2nd XI Championship) and the Loughborough Women side.Fowler stood down from his post at Durham MCCU in 2015. He was concerned by changes to the programme which he saw as an emphasis shift away from the development of excellence and more towards community based initiatives. Cheap Predators Jerseys China .

Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium.

SALZBURG, Austria -- Carlos Sainz will remain at Toro Rosso next year, Red Bull boss Christian Horner has confirmed.After seeing his Toro Rosso teammate Max Verstappen promoted to Red Bull ahead of him earlier this year, Sainzs career path looked less certain. However, Horner confirmed Red Bull has taken up its option to keep him at its junior team next year, putting an end to speculation about his future.We took up his option earlier this week, so hes committed to Red Bull for the next 12 months and, as with all the drivers, they are contracted to Red Bull Racing and we have the ability to place them where we want, Horner explained. He is currently at Toro Rosso, which is where we expect him to be next year.We had until the end of the year to take up the option and we chose to do it early to put his mind at rest.Assked if Sainzs current teammate Daniil Kvyat would be replaced, Horner added: Id be surprised to be honest with you. Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys. Daniil Kvyat is continuing his development and you can see that he is finding his feet now and there is not an obvious candidate knocking on the door at the moment who would warrant that seat.Its great for us to have a development programme that is producing talent like Ricciardo, Verstappen, Sainz as well and obviously Daniil Kvyat. We are not short of talent in our stable.As hinted before, Horner also confirmed Red Bulls drivers are contracted until the end of 2018.We are set in Red Bull Racing for the next two and half years, so it is a luxury issue to have.
