Pakistan Cricket Board is going to remove Shan Masood from captaincy! Same to same happened with Babar Azam also
After this disappointing performance of the Pakistan team, captain Shan Masood’s captaincy is in danger, as per the report of Cricket Pakistan. Shan Masood (Source X) After Pakistan’s crushing defeat in the Multan Test, criticism over the team’s declining performance has intensified. Recently, the team could not bounce back after losing the series 0-2 in the Bangladesh tour, and also faced a crushing defeat in the first Test against England. A flat pitch was demanded for the Multan Test, in which Pakistan scored 556 runs in the first innings.

However, on 11 October, a new record was set for Pakistan cricket, when they became the first team to lose a match by an innings despite scoring over 500 runs in the first innings. After this disappointing performance of the Pakistan team, the captaincy of captain Shan Masood is in danger, as cricket pakistan As stated in the report. Pakistan Cricket Board is going to snatch the captaincy of Shan Masood Not only in Test cricket, Pakistan team is also performing poorly in white ball cricket. After reaching the final in the 2022 T20 World Cup, the team has consistently failed to reach the knockout stages of ICC events. Apart from this, after the disappointing defeat of the 2023 World Cup, Babar Azam was stripped of the captaincy and Shaheen Afridi was made the captain of the T20 team. Captaincy was also taken away from Babar Azam Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie were appointed coaches of white-ball and red-ball cricket respectively. But things got worse when Babar Azam was given the captaincy again before the tournament and two months after Pakistan’s exit from the group stage, he decided or was forced by someone to leave the captaincy. The current times of Pakistan cricket are going through difficult times, where the decline in the performance of the team is clearly visible. Be it Test cricket or white ball cricket, teams everywhere are struggling and need concrete improvements to move forward. In such a situation, the board will be looking for a new captain.
IPL auction increases BCCI’s tension, board is not getting venue
IPL mega auction will be organized at the end of November. IPL Auction (Image Source: IPL/BCCI) BCCI is unable to find any good venue to hold the IPL 2025 mega auction. Currently, BCCI is considering holding the IPL auction in Saudi Arabia, but is unable to find an affordable venue for the same. Earlier it was being said that it could be organized in London, but it has been decided to go ahead with this option, because it will be very cold in London at that time. In such a situation, BCCI has limited the options to Riyadh or Jeddah. According to the report of Cricbuzz, BCCI officials have not taken any final decision. A mini auction was held in Dubai last year. This is still an option, but it is not the preferred option for BCCI at the moment. IPL mega auction will be organized at the end of November According to reports, the auction is expected to take place in the last week of November, as current BCCI Secretary Jay Shah is going to take over as ICC Chairman from December 1. Finding a hotel anywhere is not a big issue for the world’s richest cricket board, but the board is not able to take a final decision keeping in mind other stakeholders. Finding a suitable hotel or venue is big for BCCI, as pricing is a key factor among franchise owners. The price of hotels in Saudi Arabia is much higher than in Dubai and this is a big issue for BCCI and team owners. The report read, “BCCI and IPL officials are now looking for a venue where the auction can be held over two days and can accommodate the entire IPL contingent, which will include 10 franchise delegations and two broadcasters – A huge contingent of Jio and Disney stars can join in.”

I never refused the board to let me play for the national team: Dwayne Bravo
Bravo has played 295 international matches for West Indies. Dwayne Bravo (Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images) Former West Indies cricket team all-rounder Dwayne Bravo recently made a big statement regarding selection in the national team. It is worth noting that Bravo played his last international match against Australia in 2021, his last ODI in 2014 and his last Test in 2010. So, year after year, the perception has been formed that players like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, including Dwayne Bravo, do not keep themselves available for the national team in order to focus more on franchise cricket. But on this issue, Bravo has recently given a big statement saying that he never made himself unavailable to play for the national team. If he is not selected in the national team, then obviously any player will play franchise cricket. Dwayne Bravo gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently, while defending himself in a conversation with Mpumelelo Mbangwa, Dwayne Bravo said- I never declined any tour of West Indies, or made myself available for selection to play a franchise tournament. Never. The way the board has said that these people don’t want to play for West Indies, these people have no interest in West Indies cricket and these people are only concerned about playing in the leagues. But you play those leagues because you don’t get selected. So, you think if you are not selected, then okay let’s play league cricket. Bravo further said- In the year 2010, I was happy to continue my Test cricket career, but it was cut short by the board. This was not my decision or my choice. My Test career ended after playing 40 Test matches at the age of 26. I was dropped and told that two all-rounders cannot play in the team, Darren Sammy was the captain at that time. So…
AFG vs NZ test match became a joke, Greater Noida stadium exposed the world’s richest cricket board
Play on the second day of the only Test is yet to begin due to wet outfield and poor facilities at the Greater Noida Sports Complex ground in Greater Noida. Greater Noida Stadium (Pic Source-X) The only Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand has started on 9 September. The first day of the Test match could not start due to rain. Not only this, the second day of the only Test match has also not started due to wet outfield and poor facilities at Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground in Greater Noida. The lack of modern facilities and inexperienced ground staff at the Greater Noida Sports Complex Ground has made it difficult to prepare the ground. The Board of Control for Cricket in India is being heavily criticized on social media for this. Let us tell you, it rained for a very short time on Monday i.e. 9 September and even after that the match has not started yet. There are also reports that it seems very difficult for the second day’s play to take place between these two teams. To start the match, the umpires inspected the ground and pitch 6 times throughout the day on 9 September. New Zealand captain Tim Southee, all-rounder Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra along with other players also inspected the ground, but mid-on and mid-wicket did not look good for playing, while many patches were visible even inside the 30-yard circle of the field. However, after the sun came out, it seemed for a while that the match could start, but the umpires finally admitted that a match cannot be held on such a pitch and ground on 9 September. This is the reason why the game could not start on the first day. The weather is clear on the second day but despite this the players of both the teams are eagerly waiting for the match to start. BCCI got a lot of flak on social media The Board of Control for Cricket in India is one of the richest boards in the world. Many people on social media are saying that if this ground was not completely suitable for the match then why was it declared as a venue. Let us tell you, this is the first test match being played between the two teams. After the first day of the match was cancelled, an official of the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had said that there is a lot of mess here, we will never come back here. The players are also unhappy with the facilities here. He said that we had already talked to the concerned people and the people of the stadium had assured us that everything would be fine regarding media facilities. However, we have only seen disappointment here. Extremely poor and unprofessional behavior @ACBofficials for choosing such a poor&low standard ground for the only test of the year against a quality side of NZ.It’s been 2nd day, since no rain and the groundsmen unable to dry out the ground.Such a terrible scene.#AFGvNZ — Zia Afghan (@ziasayzz)…

BCCI is going to make the job of bowlers difficult, the board is reviewing the double bouncer rule
The BCCI is reviewing the impact player as well as the double bouncer rule. IPL (Photo Source: Getty Image) Along with the impact player rule, the double bouncer rule is also under threat. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is currently reviewing both rules. The BCCI has introduced these rules to make the game interesting, which were specifically introduced for the men’s T20 inter-state competition, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMT). The board also tried both rules in the Indian Premier League (IPL). But now everyone has the same question in their mind, will bowlers be able to bowl two bouncers in an over in IPL 2025? Concrete information about this can be found in the coming few weeks. Let us tell you that in IPL 2024, the bowler was allowed to bowl two bouncers in an over. The double bouncer rule was welcomed as it was an important rule to help the bowlers. However, in international cricket, one bouncer is allowed in an over. BCCI is reviewing the impact player and double bouncer rules According to a Cricbuzz report, the BCCI is reviewing the much-discussed impact player rule as well as the double bouncer rule. The BCCI will decide whether to continue with these two rules or not. A state unit official said, “We understand that the impact player and two bouncer rules are the main points and no decision has been taken.” The BCCI is yet to announce the playing conditions for SMAT. It has been more than three weeks since the BCCI released the rules, guidelines and playing conditions for the other upcoming domestic events of the season. However, the state associations have no idea if these two rules will continue. The main issue is the impact player rule, which has become a topic of discussion within the cricket world. Recently Zaheer Khan supported this rule but many players and coaches have opposite views. Earlier, Rohit and Virat have also expressed their opinion on this rule.
