Fans are seen making fun of Babar Azam on social media, while on the other hand, Zaman’s recent statements regarding the board have been criticized heavily.

Jason Gillespie is the red ball coach of Pakistan. Jason Gillespie. (Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images) Pakistan’s red-ball coach Jason Gillespie has recently made a big statement expressing his disappointment about the lack of role clarity and communication within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). It is noteworthy that the former Australian bowler was recently removed from the selection panel of Pakistan’s Senior Men’s Committee along with captain Shan Masood. Currently, Jason is going through a very complicated situation and he has put forward his views regarding PCB to the cricket world. Jason Gillespie gave a big statement Let us tell you that while discussing with Sky Sports recently, Jason said – This is not what I had signed up for. I’m being completely honest, but it’s one of those things where you just need to go with the flow. Right now, I am in a different environment, and things are done differently here. Some may agree and some may disagree on how things are done. But I am here to help the Pakistan team perform well, make the players better and improve. So I have put all my attention and energy into it. It is worth noting that Jason had taken up coaching in Pakistan’s red ball cricket earlier this year, so he said that he had come here with a long-term plan. However, now looking at his relationship with the PCB, it does not seem that he can continue in this role for long. Jason further said- I think there is disappointment from time to time. For me, when I came to the board of Pakistan Cricket, I was told that the plan is for a long term. We needed to make sure our communication was spot on. I made it a real focus and so if those things aren’t done the way you want, you can be disappointed.

The tournament is to be played in February next year PCB (Image Credit- Twitter) According to the latest media reports, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is completely satisfied with the arrangements made by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the Champions Trophy. It is noteworthy that the 9th season of Champions Trophy will be played in the hosting of Pakistan. So recently, PCB shared the list of arrangements made for the tournament with ICC. During this, PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi was also present. If Geo News is to be believed regarding the organization of Champions Trophy in the country, then the top officials of PCB assured the ICC member board that the three stadiums (Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi) which are undergoing renovation work, will be ready before the start of the tournament in February. Will get ready first. Besides, PCB has also invited delegations from member countries to come to Pakistan and assess the preparations made for the tournament. Also, let us tell you that the situation is not yet clear whether India will go to Pakistan to participate in this multinational tournament or not? The situation regarding this has not been clarified yet. So some time ago, BCCI Secretary Jai Shah had said that the team will go to Pakistan only if the Board gets permission from the Government of India. ICC may consider hybrid model On the other hand, India can consider holding the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on a hybrid model like the Asia Cup 2023, if India does not tour Pakistan. If this happens then the Indian cricket team can play its Champions Trophy in UAE. Apart from UAE, names of Sri Lanka and South Africa can also be seen. So if we talk about the tournament, its 9th season is ready to be played. It was last organized by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2017. During that time, Pakistan won the title for the first time by defeating India.
‘He is cricket for Pakistan…’ Rameez Raja on Babar Azam after being dropped from Pakistan’s Test team
Babar has not been selected for the remaining two Test matches against England. Ramiz Raja and babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter Currently a three-match Test series is being played between Pakistan and England. So after the poor performance in the first test match, the Pakistan Cricket Board has taken a big decision and decided to drop some prominent cricketers including former captain Babar Azam from the test team. After this decision of PCB, the cricket world and many Pakistani players themselves criticized the board. On the other hand, now a new name has been added to this list of former Pakistani captain and well-known cricket commentator Ramiz Raja. Ramiz Raja gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while discussing with Sky Sports, Rameez Raja said – It should have been for Babar to decide whether he wanted to leave the playing eleven or not. I think it was a knee-jerk reaction, the new selectors had come in, the general consensus was that he needed rest and he was completely dropped from the team. Now we need to understand that he sells cricket for Pakistan. And the debate is going on in Pakistan right now whether this will be another failure for Babar Azam or whether he is going to make a comeback. This keeps things interesting. Right now I don’t see any player in this Pakistan team who can sell cricket, because the sponsors are also a little cautious. Pakistan is continuously losing and now there is no real superstar playing in this test match. On the other hand, currently the second test match between Pakistan and England is being played at Multan Cricket Stadium. It will be worth seeing that after losing the first match, can Pakistan make a comeback in this match after such big changes or not?

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. But England proved to be the lion and declared their innings after scoring 823 runs and all out Pakistan for 220 runs in the second innings and won by 47 runs and an 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.
