“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.”

Shakib Al Hasan’s international career will be ruined! Know where is this all-rounder after the coup in the country?

Shakib has landed in trouble after he lost his parliamentary seat on August 6 due to political unrest in the country. Shakib Al Hasan (Photo Source: Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials are still unsure about the inclusion of premier all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan in the upcoming two-Test series against Pakistan. Shakib, who is currently participating in the Global T20 Canada, had earlier shown interest in playing the Test series, which is scheduled to begin on August 21 in Rawalpindi. Hence, he had planned to return to Bangladesh from the USA, where he is playing in the Major League Cricket, after receiving an NOC from the BCB by August 12 so that he can return to the country and prepare for the Test match. However, Shakib has run into trouble after losing his parliamentary seat on August 6 due to the recent political unrest in the country. Shakib’s return to Bangladesh may be delayed. This uncertainty could potentially affect his selection for the national team. Also, there are concerns about Shakib’s readiness for Test cricket, having played consecutive T20 matches since the home series against Zimbabwe in May. Shakib Al Hasan’s international career is at stake As reported by the Daily Star, a BCB official explained that the initial concern was whether Shakib would be able to travel to Bangladesh and then Pakistan, but now there are concerns about his ability to handle the physical demands of Test cricket after playing T20. The selectors have struggled to contact Shakib over the past week due to the unrest in the country and are expected to consult captain Nazmul Hossain Shanto and head coach Chandika Hathurusingha in the coming days before finalising the squad. The report further states that an 18-member preliminary squad, including Shakib and fast bowler Taskin Ahmed, has already been finalised, but the final 15-member squad will be decided after discussions with the selection panel. Meanwhile, Cricket Operations in-charge Shahriar Nafees has said that Shakib’s inclusion will depend on both his availability and his selection for the series.

Good news for all Bangladesh fans, this great fast bowler can be seen playing in the upcoming Pakistan Test series

The Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17. Taskin Ahmed. (Image Source: BCB) Bangladesh’s best fast bowler Taskin Ahmed played his last international Test match in June 2023. However, despite being available for selection in Test cricket, Taskin Ahmed was not included in the playing XI because he was finding it very difficult to bowl consistently. He was seen playing consistently in white ball cricket but he had to distance himself from Test cricket due to a shoulder injury. Now Bangladesh has to play a Test series against Pakistan in their home. Recently, the Bangladesh team practiced hard for the upcoming series and everyone’s eyes were on Taskin Ahmed’s fitness. After the first day’s session, Bangladesh Cricket Board physio Bayjedul Islam Khan has confirmed that Taskin Ahmed can recover from his injury, he just has to focus on his workout and follow the rehabilitation program. He also said that Taskin Ahmed is now better than before and he is available for selection against Pakistan. According to The Daily Star, Bayjedul Islam Khan said, ‘Taskin Ahmed has recently played the T20 format and he has not bowled long bowling spells during this period. He had a problem in his shoulder which he showed to the physio during the T20 World Cup as well. The problem is that the problem he had at that time is the same now as well and it should not be taken lightly. However, a player can play with all these injuries. If Taskin Ahmed continues his rehabilitation like this and does workouts well, then he can survive. Considering all this, Taskin Ahmed is fully available. But if we talk about bowling workload in Tests, then the bowler has to bowl long spells and for that he also needs speed. That is why he also needs to try all this and I am hopeful that he can participate in the Test series against Pakistan. Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17 Let us tell you, the Bangladesh team will leave for Pakistan on August 17. A two-match Test series will be played between these two teams, which will start from August 21. The first match of this series will be played in Rawalpindi while the second will be hosted in Karachi. The best thing for Bangladesh is that the team’s experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has also made himself available for the upcoming Test series. With Shakib Al Hasan’s presence, both the team’s batting and bowling lineup will become very strong. 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?
