‘I was surprised’ Imad Wasim on Babar Azam becoming the captain of Pakistan cricket team again
After Shaheen Afridi was removed from captaincy, Babar has once again been made the captain. Imad Wasim and Babar Azam (Image Credit- Twitter Pakistan cricket team’s all-rounder Imad Wasim has recently made a big statement on the decision of the Pakistan Cricket Board to appoint Babar Azam as the captain again. Imad Wasim says that not only he but the whole country was surprised by this decision of the PCB. It is worth noting that after the Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, Babar Azam left the captaincy of Pakistan in all three formats. After this, PCB handed over the captaincy to Shan Masood in Test cricket and Shaheen Afridi in T20 format. However, after losing the T20 series against New Zealand 4-1, the PCB removed Shaheen from the captaincy and once again made Babar Azam the captain of the team in white ball cricket. This was Shaheen’s first series as captain. On the other hand, now Imad Wasim has given a big statement on all this. Wasim says that Pakistan has once again flopped under the leadership of Babar and now his captaincy is in danger. Imad Wasim gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Saj Sadiq, Imad Wasim said – I was surprised, what can I say about this. But in the end it was the decision of the selectors. Whatever option they thought was good, they chose it and after that selected the team. Not only me but everyone in Pakistan was surprised. So, I cannot say that I was not surprised. Imad further said on Pakistan’s defeat in the T20 World Cup- Yes, honestly, our performance was not good and we have to accept it, including me. I think our team was good, but it did not succeed. This can happen in any format, especially in T20, but yes, it was disappointing. I was really disappointed, it took me a long time to recover from it.

“It is unfair to remove him from captaincy”- Former Pak player came out in support of Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan has criticized the decision to remove Shaheen Shah Afridi from the white ball captaincy, saying that it was unfair. He has again advocated for Afridi to be made the captain again. He has slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). He also indirectly targeted Babar Azam, who is currently the captain of Pakistan’s ODI and T20 team. Let us tell you that after the ODI World Cup last year, Babar resigned from the captaincy of all three formats. After that Shaheen was made the captain of T20 and Shan Masood was made the captain of Test format. Shaheen had to lose the captaincy after just one series. Under his captaincy, Pakistan lost 1-4 in the five-match T20 series on the New Zealand tour. After taking over the captaincy from Shaheen, the PCB appointed Babar as the captain of the white ball team. Moeen Khan gave a big statement on Shaheen Afridi being stripped of captaincy According to media reports, former Test captain Moeen said, “Shaheen Afridi has the ability to lead the team and the players like him very much. He is the best choice for captaincy in T20. I don’t think anyone else is more suitable than him to take up the responsibility of captain in white ball cricket. It was unfair to remove him from captaincy.” Moeen, who played 69 Tests and 219 ODIs in his career, said that Pakistan should maintain faith in a captain for a long time. He said, “If there are constant changes, the players will not listen to their captain. If the cricket board gives full support to the captain and assures him of long-term responsibility, the team’s performance will improve.” Babar’s reappointment as Pakistan captain did not go well for the team. Pakistan could not progress beyond the group stage in the T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan was heavily criticized after the defeat against the USA. After this Moeen said, “Azam was not given a chance to wicketkeep after one match and he was dropped after getting out on the very first ball (against the USA). Any player can get out on the first ball, but the tradition of developing players that used to exist here is no longer there. Be it the captain or the management, if they keep changing players so frequently then how can we prepare good players?

After almost 3 decades, Pakistan is going to host the Champions Trophy. PCB (Image Credit- Twitter) The hosting rights of the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 are with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) this time. It is worth noting that the much-awaited 9th season of the tournament will be played in Pakistan. However, now before the start of this multi-nation tournament, the PCB is spending money like water for the renovation of the stadiums. Let us tell you that in the recent meeting of PCB Board and Governors in Faisalabad, Pakistan, Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has released a fund of 12.8 billion (in Pakistani rupees). This fund will be used to renovate the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Karachi’s National Stadium and Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. This much fund was released for the renovation of all three stadiums According to reports in Sports Star, the maximum funds have been released for the renovation of the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, where if speculations are to be believed, the Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan could be witnessed. A fund of ₹189 million has been set aside for the MOT of the stadium, ₹330 million for the replacement of two LED screens, ₹1100 million for new steel construction of the pavilion and ₹1250 million for the remaining renovations. On the other hand, a total fund of 3.5 billion rupees has been set aside for the renovation of Karachi’s National Stadium.

PCB postponed the National Junior Championship just a day after it started, know the big reason here
18 regional teams participate in this domestic tournament of Pakistan. PCB (Image Credit- Twitter) Just a day after the start of the National Junior Championship, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to postpone it. The participants and officials of the tournament have been informed about its postponement by PCB. On the other hand, PCB said in a short press release regarding the sudden postponement of the tournament that due to unavoidable circumstances, the tournament is being postponed with immediate effect. It is worth noting that a lot of money was spent by PCB to gather the participants of the tournament. Furthermore, a Pakistan Cricket Board confidant revealed that PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi had received several complaints that participants in the tournament had taken part with fake documentation, which could have led to problems in the selection of teams as well as the underlying issue of age fraud. This PCB confidant was quoted by News18 as saying- Junior tournaments are considered by the board as the backbone of preparing the right talent for first-class cricket and international performances. This is why despite the long selection process, Mohsin Naqvi got upset when he received several complaints, some of which were valid. PCB may suffer financial loss It is worth mentioning that 18 regional teams of the country participate in this National Junior Championship of Pakistan. And the PCB brings the players who perform well in this to First Class Cricket, from where the door to the National Team opens. However, now these 18 teams were taken to training centres where training took place and the players were provided with food, accommodation and transport facilities apart from kits and daily allowances, the total amount of which was reportedly in the millions of rupees. But this now only seems to be causing a financial loss to the PCB.

Watch this video of Babar Azam with his fan Performance 0 Attitude 💯 Babar Azam for you 😁 pic.twitter.com/uA5qoMVB54 — Asad Sultan (@sultanawan143) September 9, 2024 It is worth noting that Babar Azam was once again made the captain of the white ball team before the T20 World Cup 2024. But the team had to be eliminated from the league stage itself after losing shamefully to USA in the tournament. Recently, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan 2-0 in the two-match home Test series. After this, speculations once again intensified that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) may change the captaincy. But recently a senior PCB source in an interview to PTI was quoted by India Today as saying- There has been no discussion on changing the captains, as PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has left the decision on captaincy to the two coaches and selectors. Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillispie are very clear that both Shan and Babar need to be given proper time before their leadership abilities can be assessed.
