You know you can count on a shoe brand when it’s backed by a legion of podiatrists, nurses, and ultrarunners. Brooks is one of those brands, and I myself have even been saved by a pair of their comfortable, supportive shoes: my feet became so sore training for a marathon, I almost dropped out. That is, until I discovered my love of Brooks shoes and found the cushioning I needed to keep going in comfort. Since then, I’ve worn Brooks sneakers across finish lines, on the narrow souk streets of Morocco, and up the sandstone slopes of my local hiking…

India’s assistant coach Sitanshu Kotak emphasised that there is ‘no agenda or personal liking-disliking’ involved in team selections, while addressing questions over Arshdeep Singh’s omission from the playing XI against the UAE.
