Appointing Babar Azam as captain again was the worst decision of PCB: Ahmed Shehzad
Ahmed Shehzad criticised the decision to re-appoint Babar Azam as captain Babar Azam and Ahmed Shehzad (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Pakistan team has been knocked out of T20 World Cup 2024 as USA vs Ireland match was cancelled due to rain. Babar Azam and Co had a very disappointing start to this edition and lost both their opening matches. But they registered a win against Canada. However, for Pakistan to qualify for the Super 8s, it was necessary for USA to lose against Ireland and Pakistan to win their last group stage match, but rain dashed Pakistan’s hopes. Pakistani fans have suffered a big shock as soon as the Pak team was out and they have openly expressed their disappointment on social media. Apart from this, former Pakistani cricketers have also criticized Babar Azam’s team. At the same time, experienced cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has criticized the decision to appoint Babar Azam as the captain again. Let us tell you that after Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the ODI World Cup last year, Babar Azam left the captaincy of the team in all three formats. However, earlier this year, the PCB again appointed him as the captain of white ball cricket in place of Shaheen Afridi. Ahmed Shahzad has strongly criticized this decision of the PCB and called it the worst decision. That was the worst decision by the PCB chairman- Ahmed Shehzad “Making Babar Azam the captain again was the worst decision by the PCB chairman as he was a tried and tested captain. Wahab Riaz has handled things in a very unprofessional manner,” Shahzad told Geo News. He said, “If you look at their cricket in the last four years, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Fakhar Zaman have been consistent. There is also Haris Rauf. He has got more time than he should have. There is factionalism in the team and there is a lack of leadership.” Shahzad also criticized Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. He said, “They say we are learning from our mistakes; what are you learning? Against Canada, you had to improve your net run rate and Rizwan scored the slowest half-century. Babar Azam also scored 33 runs at run-a-ball. Individual milestones have destroyed our cricket and the state of our cricket is because of them.”

Meanwhile, he described taking Virat Kohli’s wicket as an emotional moment. He congratulated me- Saurabh Netravalkar Speaking to Times of India, Netravalkar said, “I am just happy that I could fulfill both my passions. It all happened very fast and I am in the process of digesting it. These last two games were really high-profile. Taking Virat’s wicket was an emotional moment. I was looking to hit the off-stump and it worked. Saurabh is a good friend of Indian batsman Suryakumar Yadav and Suryakumar also congratulated Netravalkar after his brilliant performance in the Super Over against Pakistan in the ongoing World Cup. The Mumbai-born cricketer also revealed that Kohli also congratulated him on his achievement. He said, “I know Surya since Under-15, Under-17 days. We used to laugh and joke in the dressing room. I did not know Virat Kohli personally, but he congratulated me.” Talking about the USA team, it has won two out of three matches and is in second place in the group with four points. If Pakistan’s upcoming match is washed out due to rain, then the USA team will qualify for the Super-8. On the other hand, the Indian team has already confirmed its place in the Super-8.

After losing against West Indies, the Kiwi team is on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament.

Now on this, former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan has given a befitting reply to the Pakistani journalist. Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, the New Zealand team went on a tour of Pakistan. However, many Kiwi players refused to go to Pakistan due to playing in the IPL held in India. This included players like Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Trent Boult, Glenn Phillips. Despite this, New Zealand’s young team gave a tough fight to Pakistan and did not let them win the series. Now since New Zealand’s performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 has been very disappointing, a Pakistani journalist has raised questions on Kane Williamson’s team. Mitchell McClenaghan gave a befitting reply to Pakistani journalist The journalist tweeted, This is what happens when you prioritize money over national duty, New Zealand had a great chance to prepare themselves for the World Cup 2024 on the Pakistan tour but their main players chose IPL and now they are out of the World Cup. Former New Zealand cricketer Mitchell McClenaghan has given a befitting reply to the Pakistani journalist. He tweeted in response, very bad statement, Pakistan had lost to our team.

T20 World Cup: This match winner sitting on the bench will prove to be a trump card for India in Super-8
Team India has confirmed its place in Super-8 Indian team (Pic Source-X) Team India has confirmed its place in the Super-8 by defeating USA in the match played on June 12 in the T20 World Cup 2024. However, the best spinner Kuldeep Yadav did not get a chance to play in a single match. Everyone knows what wrist spinners can do with their balls. Meanwhile, former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla believes that wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav will be India’s favorite specialist spinner when Team India plays in the Super-8 of the T20 World Cup. He said that the conditions in New York were not favorable for spin bowling, but now Indian spinners will show their prowess in this tournament. There wasn’t that much need for spinners in New York, but… “The pitch in New York was very dangerous and the way India performed on that pitch and won three out of three matches, we have a very good chance of progressing,” the former Indian cricketer told media on the sidelines of the IISM convocation in Mumbai on Thursday. He further said, spinners were not needed that much in New York, but once you reach the second stage for the Super-8, spinners have a big role to play in the West Indies. Our spinners will come into play now. He chose Kuldeep Yadav as his first choice instead of Yuzvendra Chahal. Chawla said, honestly, only one spinner will play and I think Kuldeep will be the first priority because of what he has done in the last one and a half years. You have Axar and Jadeja who can give you depth in batting, so I think Kuldeep will play. Let us tell you that India has to play one more match in the group stage against Canada, which will be played on June 15.
Virat Kohli’s poor start in T20 World Cup 2024, is this a matter of concern for India? Know what the experts say
Virat Kohli has scored just 5 runs in three matches so far Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The Indian management’s decision to open the innings with Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the T20 World Cup 2024 has not proved right so far. The team management has kept specialist opener Yashasvi Jaiswal out of the playing XI to make Virat-Rohit open. However, Kohli has not been able to perform well while opening so far. He has scored just 5 runs in three matches. He was dismissed after scoring 1 run against Ireland. While he returned to the pavilion without scoring 4 runs against Pakistan and against America. Earlier, Kohli had scored a flurry of runs in IPL 2024. He was the highest run-scorer (741) in the tournament. But his bat has been silent in the T20 World Cup. He got out on a duck for the first time in an ICC event against America off Saurabh Netravalkar’s bowling. It would be fair to say that Kohli did not give much time to adjust to the difficult pitch of New York and hence he got out early on three occasions. There is nothing to worry about- Sunil Gavaskar Now many legends and cricket experts have come forward in support of Virat Kohli. Supporting Kohli, Australian batsman Steve Smith said on Star Sports, “It has been tough for batsmen, especially those batting in the upper order, against the new ball. I will not say much about it. We know that Virat is a superstar. I am sure he will score runs in the upcoming matches.” On the other hand, Sunil Gavaskar supported Kohli and said, well, when you are playing for the country, there is no bigger motivation than this. He has performed well for India in the last few years. He has won many matches for India. This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go in the tournament. There is Super-8, then the semi-finals and hopefully the finals as well. He said that he knows that he just has to show a little patience and have a little faith in himself. There is nothing to worry about. He will recover sooner or later. He has to show faith in himself and he has enough of it.
