Cape Cobras coach Paul Adams will keep his job after the Western Cape Cricket Board (WCC) offered their support despite a complaint lodged against him by 14 contracted players at the end of last season. Puma Rihanna Sko . The board held a meeting on Monday after a deadlock last Thursday to discuss Adams future.Adams recently-issued two-year contract extension remains in place. The players were not involved in the meeting.Instead, WCC studied a report compiled by former South Africa conditioning coach Paddy Upton, who was appointed a mediator in the matter after an independent panel was convened to assess the players grievances. WCC did not divulge the contents of the report or confirm whether they acted on it, but revealed that Upton had not followed through on his mandate to speak to all contracted players.WCC chairman Angelo Carolissen insisted his office deeply respects the concerns raised by the players, which are believed to be centered on Adams management style.We have no doubt that he possesses the vision and leadership abilities to propel the Cobras to the summit of all three domestic logs and return them to their trophy-hugging ways, Carolissen said.The 2015-16 season was the first in eight years that Cobras did not win a trophy, and Adams only barren season since taking over in 2012. At 35, he was franchise crickets youngest coach and he enjoyed immediate success. The Cobras won two competitions in Adams first summer in charge and went on to collect three more trophies in the next two seasons.Lack of success last season brought rumblings of discontent, which Adams was made aware of as soon as the complaint was laid. He underwent a leadership course over the winter and has had his support staff bolstered with the addition of two former internationals in Ashwell Prince as assistant coach and Alan Dawson as convener of selectors. With the additional resources, Adams is confident he can return the franchise to winning ways.I respect the players and have taken the learnings from this past winter to heart. I feel we will have a better understanding of each other going forward, Adams said. Part of my strategy to turn around the fortunes of the team was to secure the services of Ashwell Prince and Alan Dawson. It excites me to be working together with the two former players who will bring vast experience and I am sure will add value to the Cobras. I have also committed to up-skilling myself to ensure effective leadership and to produce and maintain the quality and brand of cricket that the Cobras are synonymous for.There has been no statement from the players, although there was an indication that if Adams was retained, several senior squad members may leave the franchise. With the new season two weeks away, that appears unlikely to occur just yet.The Cobras 2016-17 season begins on October 5 with a first-class match against Lions in Johannesburg.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The pink scar that winds from the bottom of Connor Fields left hand and past his wrist serves as a reminder of the injury that derailed a promising BMX season.It didnt stop him from returning to the Summer Olympics, though.The U.S. BMX team arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Friday with a roster chock full of contenders , with Fields leading the way. While the hand he hurt in the spring isnt fully healed, Fields said it feels well enough to do whatever he needs to do on the bike.Hell wear a specially designed brace when practice starts on Monday. It allows just enough range of motion to allow the 23-year-old Fields to move the handlebars around a course with lots of twists and bumpy hills.They said adversity makes you stronger, Fields said Friday. Not to get too cheesy, but I think that kind of helped me out in that case.He is one of four riders from Team USA returning to the Summer Games, along with Nic Long, Alise Post and Brooke Crain. The fifth rider, Corben Sharrah, was an alternate in London in 2012.Fields was well on his way to easily securing a trip to Rio in April when he hurt the hand while preparing between rounds during a World Cup race.

The damage was worse than what doctors had feared.My road was pretty tough, said Fields, who had to rely on being a coachs selection to make the squad.Long secured one of three spots on the mens side after his third-place finish at the world championships in late May. Sharrah took another spot by winning the U.S. Olympic trials in June.It was the best-case scenario for Fields because Long and Sharrah were also expected to make the team as the United States other highly ranked riders.Fields was still sweating it out at times. He had different scenarios written out on pieces of paper forecasting the points race, and how everything needed to play out.By late June, it was official, and Fields had made the team.It ended up working in my favor, he said. Basically the wrist wasnt going to be fully healed until after the games.But he was medically cleared to return to the bike in June. I had to trust myself that I wasnt going to hit the ground again, he said.So far, so good for Fields.Team is doing awesome, said Jamie Staff, USA Cyclings BMX director.
