Aussie basketball star Liz Cambage has not had a good relationship with those who run our national team of late. So when news surfaced on Saturday that she was about to be left out of the Opals squad for the World Cup in Sydney next year, she decided to share her side of things. Taking to Insta, she yesterday posted part of an email from Basketball Australia asking whether she wanted to be considered for selection. Her response: “MY interest was and still is ZERO”. Cambage didn’t play at the Olympics after withdrawing because of mental health concerns. And last month, she was reprimanded for an altercation with Nigerian players in an Olympics warm-up match pre-Tokyo. Australia’s 24-player World Cup squad is expected to be named today.

While we have you… Having more luck on the world stage is Matilda Sam Kerr. She scored twice to lead her UK club team Chelsea to a women’s FA Cup win against Arsenal in the final overnight. “I’m paid to score goals, but our defence was amazing and it was a team effort. I can’t wait to party,” she said after the game.
