There is a language problem with foreign coaches, we need a language translator: Naseem Shah
Pakistani players have long had problems speaking and learning English. Naseem Shah (Image Credit- Twitter) Language is a very important medium for the exchange of ideas. Cricket, the world’s second most loved sport, is also not untouched by this. Cricketers have to use language for planning and other important work before playing a match. So when players do this work, they are most comfortable in their local or mother tongue. But when they have to speak or understand a language different from this, and if they have not learned that language, then they may face difficulties. On the other hand, Pakistani fast bowler Naseem Shah has put forth his views on this issue. It is worth mentioning that for some time now, the coaches of Pakistan’s national cricket team have been foreigners and the current white ball coaches are Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie. Kirsten is South African while Gillespie is Australian and is more comfortable in English. On the other hand, the understanding of English by Pakistani players is well known. Also, when Naseem communicates with foreign coaches, he finds it a bit challenging. Also, to end the challenge, Naseem has talked about a language translator. Naseem Shah gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent press conference, Naseem Shah, as quoted by Cricket Pakistan, said – There is a language problem with foreign coaches. We need someone to translate the language. It is easier to communicate with the coach in your own language. Naseem further said about Pakistan’s performance in the World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024- Our comeback was not good and we cannot deny that we did not play good cricket. Criticism is a part of it and we should bear it until things get better. This is a good opportunity to come back, play better and perform as a team.

There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025: Khalid Mahmood
Khalid Mahmood said that if this happens then Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. India vs Pakistan (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan Cricket Board chief Khalid Mahmood believes that India will hardly send its team to his country Pakistan for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Let us tell you, for some time now, India has completely refused to tour Pakistan due to political reasons. Khalid Mahmood believes that the ICC will definitely listen to the Board of Control for Cricket in India and other Asian teams like Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also not tour Pakistan for the Champion Trophy 2025 if India refuses to come here. He said that if this happens, the Pakistan Cricket Board will lose a lot of money. According to Cricket Pakistan, Khalid Mahmood said, “There is very little hope that India will agree to play in Pakistan. India is the richest cricket board. If they do not send their team to Pakistan, then I do not think Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will also tour here.” Khalid Mahmood gave important advice to Pakistan Cricket Board Khalid Mahmood further said, ‘At this stage, the only thing you can do is to bring the rest of the boards to your side. The ICC will not ignore India’s demands and if this happens, it will not be right for Pakistan to make tit-for-tat plans. If India says that it will play matches outside Pakistan, then ICC events will not be hosted in their country. Due to this, the Pakistan Cricket Board may also have to face a lot of problems.’ For a long time, it has been seen that India has not participated in any of the matches of ICC events held in Pakistan and has appealed for another venue for its matches. So far it can be said that all the matches of Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan only, but India has also agreed to the fact that they will not go to Pakistan to play the matches of Champions Trophy. 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?
