New York - Two competitors in last Sunday's New York City Marathon have since died, organizers confirmed Tuesday.

A 58-year-old man from Brazil collapsed after crossing the finishing line and later died at the Lennox Hill Hospital while a 66- year-old American, who walked the distance, suffered a heart attack several hours after completing the race.

"There's nothing harder for us than when one of our participants doesn't make it home at the end of the day. We express our deepest condolences to the athletes' families," said Mary Wittenberg, president of the New York Runners.

London - Ashley Young, regarded as one of England's rising stars, has extended his contract with Aston Villa, the club confirmed on Tuesday.

Young joined Villa in January 2007 from Watford for almost 10 million pounds (16.1 million dollars).

Melbourne, Nov 4 : Former Australia captain Mark Taylor has said that current skipper Ricky Ponting should have known better than to become embroiled in an ugly on-field spat with Brett Lee.

Ponting and Lee were involved in a heated exchange during the second Test against India when the pacer was not given a bowl on the fourth morning of the match.

Australia maintained the reason for overlooking Lee was because of a slow over rate, but it was clear Ponting, who even turned to the rarely used medium pace of Mike Hussey, had lost confidence in his spearhead, who has struggled through the entire campaign.

Taylor, now a Cricket Australia board director, said the Australian skipper should have shown greater discretion.

Lahore, Nov 4: The Pakistan cricket team suffered a jolt last evening when its star batsman Muhammad Yousuf announced that he would be joining the Indian Cricket League (ICL) promoted by a business house.

PCB Director (Cricket Operations) Zakir Khan confirmed that Yousuf had joined the ICL.

“We went to Yousuf’s residence and his wife told us that he had left for India to play in the ICL. We are waiting for facts before taking any action against him,” the Daily Times quoted Zakir as saying.

But, the ICL is yet to make an official announcement in this regard.

Earlier Yousuf was named in a squad to play three one-day matches against West Indies in Abu Dhabi this month.
