Lugano joins Paraguay’s Cerro Porteno
Rio de Janeiro: Former Uruguay captain Diego Lugano has joined Cerro Porteno from Sweden’s BK Hacken, the Paraguayan club said.
No details were given of the deal but local media said the 34-year-old signed a one-year contract with the option of another year, reported a news agency.
“Thanks for the welcome. I hope to repay you on the pitch. My commitment is 100 percent,” Lugano said in a statement on Cerro Porteno’s official website.
Monday’s announcement comes less than a week after Lugano parted ways with BK Hacken, having made just 11 appearances with the Gothenburg-based club.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
