“Pakistan has become a joke of cricket”- Former cricketer scolded players after losing to Bangladesh
After Pakistan’s bad defeat, Kamran criticized the team on his YouTube channel. He said that no one has learned anything from what has happened in Pakistani cricket in the last five years. He said, “It was because Rizwan scored 50 and moved the scoreboard, otherwise we would have lost by an innings. This is such a bad defeat that it will not be forgotten. If you think bad about someone, bad things will happen to you too. You have not learned anything in the last 5 years. You lost to Zimbabwe. You were out of the Asia Cup last year. Now you have been humiliated so much in the World Cup. Pakistan cricket has become a joke in the world.” Kamran has praised the Bangladesh cricket team for their excellent performance. He said that Bangladesh had to save the match and they not only did it but also won the match. He said, “This is a difficult time for Bangladesh, but their batsmen scored runs. They had to save the Test match, they not only saved it but also won the match. They opened up the wrist of Pakistani cricket. Our batsmen were batting like club cricketers. The approach of the Pakistani players was also very bad. The players were laughing in the dressing room. There was no seriousness because they knew that no one would ask anything.

The performance of Punjab Kings in IPL has been very poor for the last few seasons. Sanjay Bangar (Photo Source: Punjab Kings’ Head of Cricket Development Sanjay Bangar has prepared his team’s strategy for the upcoming IPL 2025 mega-auction. If Mumbai Indians decide to release Rohit Sharma, then he has a plan ready for that as well. Bangar believes that Rohit will be in great demand and if he comes in the auction, he will get a good price. Punjab Kings (PBKS) will try to build a good team through the mega-auction. Also, the team needs an experienced captain like Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma comes into the auction pool, then Punjab Kings will want to buy him at any cost. Punjab Kings have not got much success in IPL so far. In such a situation, the team is eyeing to build a strong team for the upcoming season. Sanjay Bangar gave a big statement about Rohit Sharma In a recent podcast, Sanjay Bangar was asked what Punjab Kings’ plans are if Mumbai Indians release Rohit Sharma. Bangar replied that their decision will depend on the amount of money they have available at the time of the auction. He also stressed that Rohit Sharma could be bought at a “very high price” if he is available. When Bangar was asked about Rohit Sharma on the RAO Podcast YouTube channel, he said, ‘It all depends on whether we have money in our pockets or not. If Rohit comes in the auction, I am sure he will be bought at a high price.’ Let us tell you, Mumbai Indians won the title a record 5 times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, however despite this, the MI management handed over the captaincy to Hardik Pandya in place of Rohit Sharma before IPL 2024. However, his decision proved wrong and the team was the first to be out of the playoff race.

Who will be the next secretary of BCCI after Jay Shah?? These three people are the right candidates for that post
Jay Shah can become the next chairman of ICC. Jay Shah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Who Will Be Next BCCI Secretary after Jay Shah? Current BCCI secretary Jay Shah may become the next chairman of the ICC. 15 out of 16 members are supporting him for this. However, it is not clear who will replace him as BCCI secretary if he joins the ICC. Shah has less than 96 hours to decide, as the last date for filing official nominations is August 27. The new ICC chairman will take charge on December 1. The mandatory three-year cooling-off period for returning to BCCI will begin for Shah after the completion of his term in October 2025. If Jay Shah becomes the next chairman of ICC, then the biggest question is who will be the next secretary of BCCI. So let us tell you the names of those candidates who can become the next secretary of BCCI. Three people who can become the next secretary of BCCI after Jay Shah Rajeev Shukla: It is expected that the BCCI will reshuffle the posts and the current vice-president Shukla, who is also a Congress MP in the Rajya Sabha, may be asked to hold the post for a year. Shukla will have no objection in becoming the secretary. Ashish Shelar: Ashish Shelar is a veteran BJP leader in Maharashtra and is the treasurer of BCCI and a big name in MCA administration. Shelar is however a skilled politician and the post of BCCI secretary is a time-consuming job, however, being an influential name, he can be included in the race. Arun Dhumal: IPL chairman Arun Dhumal has the experience required to become BCCI secretary. He has been treasurer and now heads the cash-rich league. Swapping positions between Dhumal and Shukla would be the easiest way out, but often the BCCI puts forward names that no one can imagine. Young faces like Rohan Jaitley, Avishek Dalmiya, Dilsher Khanna, Vipul Phadke and Prabhtej Bhatia could also be considered. However, a former BCCI secretary said the BCCI power structure generally favours those who have been in the system, making it impossible for a new face to get the top job.

When I selected this XI, many things were happening. I really forgot the wicketkeeper (Dhoni). Fortunately Rahul Dravid was part of the XI so everyone thought that I have kept a part-time wicketkeeper. But I really did not think of Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper.” He said that Dhoni is definitely part of the XI and the captaincy will also remain with him. Karthik said, “Can you believe it? Being a wicketkeeper, I forgot to add wicketkeeper. This is a big mistake. Such a big mistake should not have happened. This is very clear to me.

I really believe so.” He further said, “If I make the team again, I will definitely make one change. Thala Dhoni will be at number 7 and he will be the captain of any Indian team. There is no doubt about it.”
