Jamaal Williams Jersey , Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Ecuadorian defender Jorge Guagua became the first casualty of the national team in the lead up to their September friendlies against Bolivia and Brazil, the Ecuadoran Football Federation (FEF) said Wednesday.

NEW DELHI, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- India's Hindu militants on Monday stormed the office of the country cricket league in Mumbai to protest plans to resume cricket matches between India and Pakistan, said police.
Shortly before scheduled meeting of Pakistan Cricket Board chief Shahryar Khan and new Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Shashank Manohar, some 50 members of the Shiv Sena Hindu militant outfit stormed the board's headquarters at Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.
The militants carried saffron flags symbolic of Hinduism and black flags to condemn resumption of Indo-Pak cricketing ties, shouting anti-Pakistan slogans and claiming that BCCI should not resume ties with Pakistan as Mumbai was attacked by 10 Pakistani terrorists in 2008.
Police have detained around 20 Shiv Sena activists and tightened security at the site.
The protest came one week after the militants staged a black paint attack on journalist
