Shahzad has been out of the Pakistan cricket team for almost 5 years Ahmad Shahzad (Image Credit- Twitter Pakistani cricketer Ahmed Shahzad has decided not to play in the domestic cricket tournament Champions Cup. He has blamed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for this and has made serious allegations against the board like bias, false promises and injustice. Apart from this, he has also criticized the new mentorship scheme launched recently by PCB, under which former Pakistani players Waqar Younis, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik, Saqlain Mushtaq and Sarfraz Ahmed will be seen working with five different teams for 3 years. This scheme will cost 5 million dollars, but Shahzad believes that after the inflation and poverty in the country, this decision of PCB is just a waste of money. Ahmed Shahzad made serious allegations against PCB Let us tell you that recently Ahmed Shahzad has given information about not playing in Pakistan’s domestic tournament Champions Cup through a post from his official X account. In this post, Shahzad wrote – With a heavy heart, I have decided not to play in the domestic cricket Champions Cup. PCB’s bias, false promises and injustice towards domestic players are unacceptable. At a time when Pakistan is struggling with inflation, poverty and massive electricity bills, the PCB is wasting Rs5 million on consultants only to do nothing and reward the unsuccessful players in the current squad who have brought Pakistan cricket to an all time low. It is even more insulting that the PCB claims they do not have ‘equipment for surgery’, which is a huge insult to the domestic players. As a Pakistani and a true cricket lover, I cannot support a system in which merit has no value. I refuse to be a part of this failed setup. See this post by Ahmed Shahzad With a heavy heart, I’ve decided not to play in the Domestic Cricket Champions Cup. The PCB’s favoritism, false promises, and injustice towards domestic players are unacceptable. In a time when Pakistan is struggling with inflation, poverty, and massive electricity bills, the PCB… — Ahmad Shahzad 🇵🇰 (@iamAhmadshahzad) August 30, 2024 On the other hand, if I give you information about the cricket career of 32-year-old Shahzad, he has played 13 Tests, 81 ODIs and 59 T20 matches for Pakistan, in which he has scored 982 Test, 2605 ODI and 1471 T20 runs.

Mumbai need 504 runs on the last day to beat TNCA XI. Buchi Babu Tournament (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian cricket team’s new T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav was seen trying his hand at bowling in the ongoing Buchi Babu Tournament. However, his decision was not right, and while bowling he bowled a high full-toss ball, after which he was seen apologizing. On the other hand, the video of this high full-toss ball bowled by Surya went viral on social media very fast. It is worth noting that in the ongoing tournament, a match is being played between Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) and Mumbai. So on the third day of the match, Surya decided to bowl the last over of the first session but during this, while bowling the third ball of the over, he lost control and bowled a high full-toss to Aatish SR who was on strike. During this, seeing the opportunity, the batsman hits the ball hard and plays a pull shot. Due to this shot, the fielder standing at short leg was forced to bend. However, as soon as Surya bowled this ball, he immediately raised his hand and apologized. See how Surya Kumar bowled this high full-toss ball pic.twitter.com/6XfiJBQ4M7 — Cricket Cricket (@cricket543210) August 29, 2024 On the other hand, for your information, let us tell you that recently the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has strictly instructed the contracted batsmen to start bowling part-time. Perhaps this is the reason why the batsmen of the Indian team are now often seen bowling. Also, this is not the first time Suryakumar Yadav has been seen bowling. Earlier, he bowled in the last match of the T20 series on the Sri Lanka tour and took two wickets to take the match to the Super Over, where the Indian team won.
Shreyas Iyer got trapped in R Sai Kishore’s trap in Buchi Babu tournament, all Mumbai batsmen failed
At present R Sai Kishore is playing in Buchi Babu Tournament. R Sai Kishore (Photo Source: In cricket, many times players try to provoke the players of the opposing team to take wickets or to make their team successful. However, many times this trick of the players backfires on them. They themselves get caught in the trap of the opposing player. A similar scene was seen on Wednesday (29 August) during the match between Mumbai and TNCA 11 in the Buchi Babu tournament. Where Mumbai’s star player Shreyas Iyer got caught in his own trap. Shreyas Iyer caught in the trap of Sai Kishore Challenging TNCA 11 captain I Sai Kishore proved costly for Shreyas Iyer. According to Sportstar, before the match between Mumbai and TNCA 11 in the Buchi Babu tournament, Shreyas Iyer and R. Sai Kishore were practicing batting in the nets side by side. Shreyas had told Sai, “Even if you keep a long-off fielder from the first over, I will still play a shot over him.” Hearing this, the spinner immediately replied, “You must do it.” After this, during Mumbai’s innings in the match, Shreyas Iyer came to bat after Mushir Khan was out. Sai Kishore was bowling. Then the captain of TNCA 11 showed smartness. He did not keep the traditional long-off. He stationed a fielder on the boundary behind him. This benefited him. Shreyas came under pressure due to the fielder being right behind the bowler. He played a pull shot. The ball went straight towards short midwicket. He was out after scoring 2 runs off 3 balls. TNCA 11 scored 379 runs in the first innings. In response, Mumbai team was out for 156 runs. Opener Divyansh Saxena scored the highest runs for Mumbai in the first innings with 70 runs. Seven batsmen could not reach the double digit mark. Suryakumar Yadav scored 30 runs in 38 balls with the help of 3 fours and 1 six.
