Babar Azam (Pic Source x) Former player Basit Ali has recently raised questions on the International Cricket Council. He raised this question when Pakistan team’s best batsman Babar Azam retained the first position in the ICC ODI batting rankings. Basit Ali jokingly said that Babar Azam would be very happy that he has retained the first position in the latest ICC rankings. Basit Ali said this while sharing a video on his official YouTube channel. Basit Ali said, ‘When I saw the ICC ODI batting rankings, Babar Azam was at the top. Rohit Sharma was in second place and Shubman Gill was in third place. Virat Kohli was in fourth place. After this I did not see many names because Travis Head and Rachin Ravindra were not there. I think the ICC does not want to see Babar Azam performing well. Babar Azam will be very happy that he is the number 1 batsman in the ODI rankings. Who gives this ranking? In what way are Babar Azam and Shubman Gill in this list?’ What kind of ranking does ICC give: Basit Ali The former player further said, ‘Babar Azam played his last ODI in the World Cup last year. In that World Cup, we also saw Virat Kohli, Travis Head, Quinton de Kock and Rachin Ravindra. They scored three to four centuries in this tournament. Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman scored centuries from Pakistan. Babar Azam did not score a single century. Babar Azam scored his last century against Nepal during the Asia Cup. What kind of ranking do they give? People in ICC are enemies of Babar Azam. If you ask Babar who should be in the first position right now, he will choose Travis Head or Virat Kohli. He will not even take his own name. There will be no Impact Player rule in IPL 2025..! Jay Shah gave a big statement Yuvraj Singh had a heart attack because of Sourav Ganguly…!

It will also be the first time Shan Masood will lead his team on home soil after taking over the captaincy from Babar Azam.
“If this happens then Champions Trophy…”, former cricketer gave a big warning to Pakistan Cricket Board
In 2009, the Sri Lankan team was attacked by terrorists in Lahore. After this incident, the ICC took away the rights of hosting the 2011 World Cup from Pakistan. Champions Trophy & Basit Ali (Photo Source: X/Twitter) ICC Champions Trophy 2025 It is to be played in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9 next year. PCB will host the ICC tournament after a gap of 18 years. India does not tour Pakistan due to security reasons.

Let us tell you that Asia Cup 2023 was played under the joint hosting of Pakistan and Sri Lanka due to the demand of BCCI. Meanwhile, former Pakistani player Basit Ali says that there will be a lot of attention on security in the country before the Champions Trophy. Because if any incident happens, then the hosting rights can be taken back from Pakistan. Basit Ali also stressed that foreign teams should get the same security as the Prime Minister and President. There should not be even a small breach in security- Basit Ali Speaking on his YouTube channel, Basit Ali said, The Champions Trophy is going to be held in Pakistan and after Bangladesh, teams like England and West Indies are also going to tour, so we have to pay attention to security. God forbid, if any incident happens during these tours then the Champions Trophy will not be played here. Our soldiers are getting martyred in Balochistan and Peshawar, only the government can answer why this is happening, but this is wrong. The veteran player further said, We should ensure that there is not even a small breach in security. Foreign teams should get the same security as our Prime Minister and President. I am sure, Mohsin Naqvi will be aware of these things. Let us tell you, in 2009, terrorists attacked the Sri Lankan team in Lahore. After this incident, ICC took away the rights of hosting the 2011 World Cup from Pakistan. In such a situation Ahead of the Champions Trophy, Bangladesh and England’s tour of Pakistan will serve as a litmus test for security issues in the country.
“Pakistan’s Test coach is like Gautam Gambhir” Why did Ricky Ponting give such a statement; Know who is Jason Gillespie?
“Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone.” – Ricky Ponting Jason Gillespie. (Source – Twitter/X) Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that his compatriot and former teammate Jason Gillespie will do a good job as Pakistan’s red ball coach (Test coach). Ricky Ponting and Gillespie have played a lot of cricket together for Australia before and they have a very good friendship. Ponting highlighted Gillespie’s impressive record as a coach and compared it to India head coach Gautam Gambhir, who has also tasted success in his brief coaching career so far. Gambhir recently won the IPL 2024 title in his only season as Kolkata Knight Riders mentor. Here is what Ricky Ponting said about Jason Gillespie while speaking on the ICC review: “Jason Gillespie is a bit like Gautam Gambhir. He has had a very good coaching record wherever he has gone. I have no doubt he will face some challenges. But he is a deep thinker and as I said, he is a calm guy who does things his way.” Ponting has no doubt that Gillespie will find a way to get the best out of the Pakistani players. I am not surprised by the changes in Pakistan cricket: Ricky Ponting Ricky Ponting further said that he is not surprised by the massive changes in the Pakistan team after the disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup. Let us tell you that Pakistan was eliminated even before reaching the Super 8 stage of the tournament due to defeat against India and America in its group. On this Ponting said- “We are all old guys who have played together, we all have a WhatsApp group. Everyone congratulated him (Gillespie) on that and wished him all the best for that role as coach. To be honest, I am not surprised at all by so many changes happening in this Pakistan team. I know it is a different format, but they had a very disappointing T20 World Cup. If you are not willing to make some changes, you are expecting similar results.”

On Wednesday, August 7, the third and final ODI of the series was played between India and Sri Lanka. By losing this match, India also lost the series 2-0.

During the recently concluded ODI series, the Sri Lankan team dominated the Indian team in every department. In the entire series, the Indian bowlers were not able to bowl out the Lankan team even once. Sri Lanka won the toss on all three occasions and decided to bat first on the pitches. However, this pitch proved to be very helpful for their bowlers and they also took full advantage of it. Junaid Khan tweeted this about Jaspreet Bumrah Junaid said that India’s bowling attack is “zero” without Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the series. The former Pakistan pacer asked cricket fans if they agreed with his opinion. “Do you agree? India’s bowling attack is zero without Bumrah,” Junaid wrote on his official ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) handle. Would you agree? Without Bumrah, India’s bowling is zero… #INDvSL #SLVSIND — Junaid Khan (@JunaidkhanREAL) August 7, 2024 Talking about the third ODI match, Sri Lanka won the toss and scored 248/7. Avishka Fernando scored the highest 96 runs in 102 balls for Sri Lanka. Apart from him, Pathum Nissanka contributed 45 and Kusal Mendis contributed 59 runs.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has recently appointed Waqar Younis as the cricket advisor of the board. Waqar Younis. (Photo credit ARIF ALI/AFP/Getty Images) Legal challenges have arisen over the appointment of former fast bowler Waqar Younis as advisor to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi. A Pakistani citizen named Mashkoor Hussain has filed a petition in the Lahore High Court, questioning the validity of the appointment. This petition is being represented in the court by a lawyer named Nadeem Sarwar, as the petition states that the necessary protocols have not been followed in the process for the appointment of Younis. Along with this, the petition also mentions irregularities in the processes of appointment of Gary Kirsten as the white ball coach of the Pakistan men’s team and Jason Gillespie as the red ball coach. According to the petition, the appointment of Waqar Younis is completely illegal because the Pakistan Cricket Board did not publish any advertisement regarding this in the newspapers. Regarding this, Mashkoor Hussain says that the appointment of Waqar Younis should be cancelled.

It is important to involve famous cricketers and legends in this process. The chairman’s suggestion to include these personalities is good. We have discussed with some former legends. We will soon announce the names of those who will help take the game forward.

But there are some things in which Babar Azam is similar to Virat Kohli. Speaking on Fox Cricket’s YouTube channel, Khawaja said- “He doesn’t always bat like Virat. But when you watch him bat he looks like Virat” Babar Azam was a superflop in the ODI World Cup The ODI World Cup 2023 was held in India and in this mega tournament, Team India had to face defeat in the final against Australia. Pakistan team also came to India for this tournament. But playing under the leadership of Babar Azam, the team could not perform as expected. In this tournament, Pakistan could not even enter the semi-finals. After this match, Babar resigned from the captaincy. But he was once again given the captaincy of Pakistan for the T20 World Cup 2024. This time too he disappointed the fans and team of Pakistan and the team could not even enter the Super 8.
