England have selected Nathan Hughes for the first time after including the Wasps back row in a provisional Elite Player Squad for this months pre-season training camp.Leicester hooker and club captain Tom Youngs, who won 31 caps under the previous regime, returns after being previously overlooked by head coach Eddie Jones, while Gloucester wing Johnny May is back from knee surgery.High-profile omissions from the 45 are centre Luther Burrell, fly-half Danny Cipriani and wing Chris Ashton.Fijian-born Hughes qualified for England on residency grounds in June and has been one of the Aviva Premierships most consistent performers since being plucked from obscurity by Wasps in 2013.The 25-year-old, who picked up a rugby ball for the first time eight years ago, is a powerful carrier and his appearance in the squad is an exciting development, even if there are misgivings over his work-rate and defence.Jones views him as a blindside flanker rather than No. 8, the position Billy Vunipola has filled with distinction.Youngs was a big-name omission from Jones maiden squad named in January having been first choice throughout last autumns World Cup, but he is one of four hookers among the 45.The jet-heeled May sustained a serious knee injury in December and has been unavailable since.Cipriani failed to impress during a pre-summer tour training camp in May, Burrell was replaced after only 28 minutes of the first Test against Australia in June due to defensive failings and Ashton continues to find himself out of favour.Teimana Harrison endured a similar fate to Burrell -- he was pulled half an hour into the third Test after failing to offer enough physicality -- but the Northampton back row remains.Two members of the England Under-20 squad that were crowned junior world champions are present in Leicester flanker Will Evans and Harlequins centre Joe Marchant.This camp sets the scene for November. Its important to catch-up with the players prior to the start of the season and continue to put our plans in place, Jones said.Well use this time to reset and review each players goals so theyre clear on what is expected of them between now and when we meet up again in October.It also gives us an opportunity to meet and assess some new players and ensure they are familiar with the England set-up.The long-term strategy for England is to develop a side who can be the most dominant team in world rugby, so weve chosen a number of new faces to attend this camp on the form they have shown recently or the potential we see in them.There will always be opportunities for anyone playing consistently well in the Premiership at the start of the season to force their way into the EPS - the door is always open.Naturally players not included in this pre-season camp will be disappointed, but consistent high-level performances can change this.England squad for preseason training camp:Forwards: Josh Beaumont, Dan Cole, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Jack Clifford, Will Evans, Charlie Ewels, Jamie George, Ellis Genge, Teimana Harrison, Dylan Hartley, James Haskell, Paul Hill, Nathan Hughes, Maro Itoje, George Kruis, Joe Launchbury, Courtney Lawes, Joe Marler, Matt Mullan, Chris Robshaw, Kyle Sinckler, Billy Vunipola, Mako Vunipola, Mike Williams, Tom YoungsBacks: Mike Brown, Danny Care, Elliott Daly, Owen Farrell, George Ford, Alex Goode, Mike Haley, Jonathan Joseph, Joe Marchant, Jonny May, Jack Nowell, Dan Robson, Semesa Rokoduguni, Joe Simpson, Slade, Ben Teo, Manu Tuilagi, Anthony Watson, Marland Yarde, Ben YoungsWilson Chandler Jersey . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1. Jaylen Hands Nets Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. https://www.netsrookiesshop.com/Garrett-Temple-City-Edition-Jersey/ . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. Julius Erving Nets Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. Dzanan Musa Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance.Two teams still hoping to jumpstart their seasons hook up Wednesday night when the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings face off at American Airlines Center.Though the season is only about a quarter old, the Mavericks (4-16) and Kings (7-13) appear headed to the lottery. Missing the playoffs is nothing new for Sacramento, which is working on a decade-long postseason drought.The Kings had high expectations. Instead, this DeMarcus Cousins-led squad has dropped three games in row and eight of the last 11. Sacramento, 11th in the Western Conference, ends a five-game road trip in Dallas.The Kings lost 106-98 at New York on Sunday. Sacramento battled back from a 21-point deficit to make it a game in the fourth quarter before running out of gas.I think well be fine, Darren Collison told the Sacramento Bee. Weve just got to figure out how to compete at a higher level. Not from a physical side, but a mental side, and try to limit our mistakes mentally.Cousins is off to a great start, averaging a career-high 29.1 points and 10.5 rebounds. The seven-year pro is third in the NBA in scoring and 11th in rebounding.Closing out games is point of contention for the All-NBA center.Most guys, adrenaline gets going in those last couple of minutes, Cousins told the Bee. Youre going to find out who has the most heart in those last situations, and (Sunday) it was them. I dont think theres any one thing you can do or talk it over. Its who wants it the most in those last couple minutes.Dallas has failed to qualify for the playoffs only once since 2001. Unless something dramatic happens with this injury-ravaged club, this season will be about ping-pong ball positioning.The Mavericks are without Dirk Nowitzki, Andrew Bogut and J.J. Barea. Bogut injured his right knee in Mondays 109-101 loss to Charlotte. Seth Curry (kneee) is making progress, but is officially listed as questionable against the Kings.ddddddddddddDallas led for much of the second half before faltering down the stretch. The Hornets outscored the Mavs 34-23 in the fourth quarter to pull away.Two days after their best performance of the season in a 107-82 rout of Chicago, the Mavs fell flat with the game on the line. Dallas coach Rick Carlisle pinned the collapse on a lack of effort late.Why we fell into that, Im not sure, he said. Maybe we were resting on the laurels of our one-game winning streak.Charlotte outrebounded the Mavericks 55-35. Losing Bogut in the first quarter didnt help, but Carlisle didnt use losing his starting center as an excuse.The thing thats most disappointing is the rebounding numbers, he said. After really going toe-to-toe with Chicago and playing even on the boards, we got wiped out (Monday) by 20, which shouldnt happen. That points to effort.Dallas won two of its previous four games before Monday, and was competitive in the other two. That qualified as progress in a campaign thats off to the worst start since Mark Cuban bought the team in 2000.Losing their edge in the fourth quarter against Charlotte -- the Mavs were up 11 in the third -- didnt sit well in the locker room.We just went cold for whatever reason and we just cant do that, Wesley Matthews sad. We have to be crazed dogs from the tip to the final buzzer and that is how we have to play. That is how we have been playing. We have been that way for the last, however many games, we showed that identity.The Mavericks won 22 of the last 27 regular-season meetings against Sacramento, but the Kings claimed three of the four games last season.
