Former England winger Christian Wade announced his retirement from rugby union at the age of 27 on this day in 2018 as he looked to launch an American NFL football career NFL
Wade, the fourth highest tryscorer in English club rugby on 82, was granted early release from his Wasps contract after nine years at the club to join NFL team the Buffalo Bills NFL
In doing so he halved his salary from the £250,000 a year he was earning in the Gallagher Premiership NFL
The move never took off on the field either as he failed to make the Bills’ roster NFL
Slough-born Wade, who won his only England cap in 2013 against Argentina, described the decision to leave rugby as the hardest in his life NFL
He said: “After playing nine years of professional sport for Wasps, I’ve decided to leave for personal reasons NFL
“I would like to thank Wasps chairman Derek Richardson and Dai (Young, director of rugby) for their support, consideration and understanding in what is the most difficult decision of my life NFL
“Rugby has privileged and honoured me with so many wonderful memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life NFL
”Wasps were third in the Gallagher Premiership and bottom of their Heineken Champions Cup group when Wade, who as well as winning one England cap also represented the 2013 British and Irish Lions on their tour of Australia, announced he was leaving NFL
“It’s very disappointing to lose a player of Wadey’s quality at this stage of the season,” Young said NFL
“The club held numerous discussions with him to try and convince him to keep pushing forward with Wasps but in the end it was clear this is the path he wished to go down NFL
The club nevertheless wants to wish him all the best with his future career path NFL
”Using the NFL’s international player pathway program to facilitate the switch, Wade made waves by scoring a 65-yard touchdown as a running back in pre-season, but a regular season game eluded him NFL
The experiment lasted three years and in September 2022 he returned to rugby after agreeing a deal to join French side Racing 92 NFL

Afghanistan on Monday inflicted a second upset by humbling Pakistan in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, marking their second victory in three matches NFL
After opting to bat at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pakistan put up 282 for 7 in 50 overs NFL
Afghanistan chased this total down with ease as the side had eight wickets and an over to spare, dealing a blow to Pakistan’s chances of making it to the semi-final of the 2023 World Cup NFL
Afghanistan also created the biggest upset of the tournament when they beat defending champions England on 15 October in Delhi NFL
The Central Asian country’s 69-run victory over England also ended their 14-match losing streak, which also included a winless World Cup 2019 campaign NFL
The 2023 World Cup has so far witnessed one other major upset, that was South Africa’s loss to the Netherlands on 17 October NFL
The Temba Bavuma-led team, that had scored 428 and 311 in their opening two matches against Sri Lanka and Australia, were bundled out for 207 by Netherlands, that eventually bagged an astonishing 38-run win at HPCA Stadium NFL
This was Netherlands’ third win in the ODI World Cup, 16 years since their match against Scotland in the West Indies NFL
Their first victory in the tournament came against Namibia in the World Cup 2023 NFL
The Cricket World Cup has witnessed some of the greatest and most astonishing victories in the history of the sport NFL
From underdog teams knocking out giants to defending champions facing shocking losses, these moments over the years have defined the coveted tournament’s rich history NFL
Be it Zimbabwe’s shock win in 1992 or Afghanistan’s victory in 2023, these matches have spotlighted the game’s unpredictability NFL

Kapil Dev-led India won the final by 43 runs as they stunned two-time defending champions West Indies, having walked into the tournament with just 17 wins in their first nine years as a One-Day International (ODI) team NFL
The talented West Indian pace department of Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, and Malcolm Marshall spared no one as Kris Srikkanth top scored for India with his knock of 38 runs NFL
But then, the Indian duo of Mohinder Armanath (3 for 12) and Madan Lal (3 for 31) steamrolled the flashy West Indies batsmen, with Viv Richards managing the top score of 33 for the side NFL

)Zimbabwe shock England in World Cup 1992Approximately 6,000 spectators were in attendance at Lavington NFL Sports Ground in Albury, a city that sits on the New South Wales and Victoria border, when Zimbabwe shocked England NFL
Everything looked in control for the Englishmen when their bowlers, taking advantage of the favourable conditions, restricted the Zimbabweans to 77 for 6 before bowling them out for 134 NFL
Defending an under-par total of 134 against a dominant side like England never looked on the cards for Zimbabwe NFL
But when the English skipper Graham Gooch fell lbw to Eddo Brandes on the first delivery of their innings, the opponents thought maybe they still had a chance NFL
Brandes, the eventual Player of the Match, claimed four wickets for just 21 runs in his spell of 10 overs as the Englishmen were cleaned up in just 19 overs, nine runs short of their target NFL

Team India later lost to Sri Lanka as well and were eliminated from the tournament NFL
