DTVHINDI“Now we will be ridiculed at the international level”- Kamran Akmal was angry at which decision of Pakistan Cricket Board
Kamran Akmal has criticised the PCB’s decision to hold the second Test against Bangladesh in Karachi without spectators, calling it an “international embarrassment”. Kamran Akmal (Photo Source: Twitter) The 2-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is scheduled to start on August 21. The first Test between the two teams will be held in Rawalpindi, while the second Test is to be played at the National Stadium in Karachi. But now the PCB has issued an order that this match will be played in an empty stadium. The reason given by the PCB behind this is that renovation work is going on to improve the venue in view of the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal has criticised the PCB’s decision to hold the second Test against Bangladesh in Karachi without spectators and called it a “fair use” “International embarrassment” The former wicketkeeper-batsman said that the board could have organized the match in some other stadium as Pakistan has many options. Kamran Akmal said in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel “The second Test match will be played in Karachi. So I think you know that renovation work is going on in Karachi. They are preparing a stadium for the Champions Trophy. So it will be a joke on Pakistan that Test matches are being played in Pakistan without spectators. And we don’t just have 2-3 stadiums; we also have the Faisalabad stadium. We could have played there as well; it is a top-class stadium. A lot of cricket has happened there.” He further said, “There is a stadium in Multan. And you know that Multan Stadium is very good and the crowd also comes there. So you know that this is your stadium; you could have organized another Test match at any one of these two places. So it would have been good. So I think this would be a mockery of our cricket at the international level. Such things should not happen.”

US court’s decision in India’s favour, BYJU’s will soon pay BCCI dues of Rs 158 crore
This matter between Byju and BCCI was in court for a long time BCCI (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, last week, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) gave its verdict on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)’s outstanding dues to edtech company BYJU’s amounting to Rs 158 crore. In this decision of NCLAT, the company had to pay the dues to BCCI. However, GLAS Trust Company, a US firm that provided funds to Byju, objected to this decision and said that the company was using ill-gotten money for the payment. So, in relation to this decision of NCLAT, GLAS Trust Company filed an appeal in a US court, on which the statement of the US court has now come out. The US court has given the verdict in favor of India. While giving the verdict, the judge of this court said, as quoted by Business Standard – I am deeply concerned that I am being asked for such relief which will make the proceedings in another country fail. During the hearing of the case in the US, Byju’s was represented by Sharon Korpus via video conferencing. In his response, Korpus claimed that the US company had tried to keep the bankruptcy proceedings against BYJU’s active, which were halted due to the settlement being allowed by the tribunal. Korpus also said that this would mean an insult to India’s judicial system. BCCI owes Rs 158 crore It is worth noting that Byju’s was the main sponsor of the Indian cricket team till November 2023. During this time, the BCCI kept speaking to the board company repeatedly for payment of the outstanding bill. Due to the delay in payment by Byju’s, this amount increased to 158 crores. After this, the cricket board ended its relationship with the company as a sponsor, and filed an appeal in NCLAT for the outstanding amount, the decision of which has recently come in favor of the board.

Appointing Babar Azam as captain again was the worst decision of PCB: Ahmed Shehzad
Ahmed Shehzad criticised the decision to re-appoint Babar Azam as captain Babar Azam and Ahmed Shehzad (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Pakistan team has been knocked out of T20 World Cup 2024 as USA vs Ireland match was cancelled due to rain. Babar Azam and Co had a very disappointing start to this edition and lost both their opening matches. But they registered a win against Canada. However, for Pakistan to qualify for the Super 8s, it was necessary for USA to lose against Ireland and Pakistan to win their last group stage match, but rain dashed Pakistan’s hopes. Pakistani fans have suffered a big shock as soon as the Pak team was out and they have openly expressed their disappointment on social media. Apart from this, former Pakistani cricketers have also criticized Babar Azam’s team. At the same time, experienced cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has criticized the decision to appoint Babar Azam as the captain again. Let us tell you that after Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the ODI World Cup last year, Babar Azam left the captaincy of the team in all three formats. However, earlier this year, the PCB again appointed him as the captain of white ball cricket in place of Shaheen Afridi. Ahmed Shahzad has strongly criticized this decision of the PCB and called it the worst decision. That was the worst decision by the PCB chairman- Ahmed Shehzad “Making Babar Azam the captain again was the worst decision by the PCB chairman as he was a tried and tested captain. Wahab Riaz has handled things in a very unprofessional manner,” Shahzad told Geo News. He said, “If you look at their cricket in the last four years, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Fakhar Zaman have been consistent. There is also Haris Rauf. He has got more time than he should have. There is factionalism in the team and there is a lack of leadership.” Shahzad also criticized Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. He said, “They say we are learning from our mistakes; what are you learning? Against Canada, you had to improve your net run rate and Rizwan scored the slowest half-century. Babar Azam also scored 33 runs at run-a-ball. Individual milestones have destroyed our cricket and the state of our cricket is because of them.”
