Sri Lanka A tour of Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter Sri Lanka A’s remaining tour of Pakistan has been canceled with immediate effect. Let us tell you that this decision has been taken due to the ongoing political protests in the country’s capital Islamabad. These protests are being carried out by supporters of former Prime Minister and Captain of Pakistan Imran Khan. Sri Lanka A was scheduled to play two 50-over cricket matches at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground, Rawalpindi, but now these matches have been cancelled. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that the tour has been canceled due to “political activity” in Islamabad. The PCB said in an official statement – The Pakistan Cricket Board, in consultation with Sri Lanka Cricket, has postponed the last two 50-over matches of the Pakistan Shaheens and Sri Lanka A series due to a political activity in the federal capital. The last two matches were scheduled for Wednesday and Friday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Both the boards will cooperate in finalizing the new dates to complete the series. It is noteworthy that the PCB was worried about the consequences of PTI’s protests on the series since last week. A few days ago, it announced that the first ODI, which was scheduled to be held at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground, would be shifted to Islamabad Club. According to the PCB, the second and third 50-over matches were to be played as planned on November 27 and 29 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground. But now it will be played some other day. So after this announcement, Imran Khan has issued a “final call” to his supporters to march to the capital demanding, among other things, his release from jail. There have reportedly been incidents of clashes and violence between protesters and law enforcers. It is noteworthy that Imran Khan is also the Chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf political party.

“We lost Rishabh only when we did not retain him” – Did Pant leave DC for money?

Rishabh Pant will play for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) India’s star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who was playing for Delhi Capitals in the IPL till last season, will be seen playing for Lucknow Super Giants this season. After the two-day mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal made a big statement about Rishabh Pant and told why Pant left Delhi Capitals. Parth has now told what is the real reason for Pant’s departure from Delhi Capitals. When Parth was asked how he felt when Pant’s price reached Rs 27 crore, he replied, ‘I think we lost Rishabh only when we did not retain him. We have to be honest with ourselves and not kid ourselves that we could have got him back in the auction. If we had bought Rishabh at that money, we would have completely ruined the Delhi Capitals auction. Rishabh Pant would have been a different proposition for 18 crores and a completely different proposition for 27 crores. Without fooling myself or anyone else, I would like to say that we lost Rishabh only when we did not retain him. Rishabh Pant himself decided that I do not want to stay here – Parth Jindal Boria Majumdar asked Parth Jindal that Rishabh Pant had written a message that money was not the reason, now you said that we did not retain, so if there was single ownership, would things have been different? On this, Parth Jindal said, ‘No, I don’t think it is a matter of ownership here. We were all on the same page when it came to the ownership group. This decision has been taken together. We had a lot of discussion with Rishabh about what we expected from him, which we did not get last year or in the years before that. We gave him very honest feedback. Me and Kiran… GMR and JSW group are one family. We gave him feedback, and he didn’t take it the way we expected. And yes… then he took an emotional decision, he has grown up in this franchise. He was a young boy when he started, Delhi Daredevils and Kiran gave him his first chance. I joined this franchise later and after that my relationship with Pant became very special. Rishabh himself decided that he does not want to stay here. Kiran and I tried hard to stop him but he decided he wanted to go in a different direction, which we respected. I had told Rishabh that we will not go after you in the auction, but then in the auction I followed my heart, we tried to bring him back, Kiran told me that we will see the rest later, let’s bring him now. , But then the price increased too much and we had to pull out, it has nothing to do with ownership.

Chappell further said – It is unique, and obviously clean. This is the mark of a champion bowler, who brings out his art during the match. Australia’s top order is a matter of concern. To avoid forced changes in the team, they (Australia) will have to perform in Adelaide. It is noteworthy that the second match of this series will be played in Adelaide from 6th December. This will be a day-night pink ball match. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will also be seen making a comeback in the team in this match.
