“I play 2 matches at the same time…” Why does Naseem Shah make his father switch off the TV before a big match, you won’t believe it
Naseem Shah spoke about how the sport had an adverse effect on his father Abbas’s health. Naseem Shah (Image Source: Getty Images) Pakistan’s top fast bowler Naseem Shah has said that whenever he is about to play a big match, he makes sure his brothers understand that their father should not watch the match. Naseem Shah has gained immense popularity and a lot of praise during his five-year international career. Naseem is the youngest fast bowler to take a Test five-wicket haul and a hat-trick against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh at the age of just 16. Unfortunately, injuries have plagued his fledgling career and he also missed the 2023 ODI World Cup. Naseem Shah does not allow his father to play matches Naseem, in a recent interview, opened up about the family aspect of his career and how the sport has taken a toll on his father Abbas’s health. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Naseem said, “My father is going through some health issues. There was a time when he didn’t know anything about cricket, but now he watches every ball and gets sad when we lose. So, before every big match, I call my brothers to make sure that our father doesn’t watch the match. I fear this might lead to some major health issues. It’s like I am playing two matches simultaneously.” Naseem further said, “There is a lot going on behind the scenes in the lives of cricketers that people are not aware of. Sometimes you just look for small moments of happiness.” How is the reaction of the family when they lose the match to India? Naseem said, “People come up to me in restaurants and ask why we lost. Even my relatives have asked me about this. I understand that their emotions are fueled by social media and as a player, all I can do is listen to them.” Naseem will take the field in the first match of the two-Test series against Bangladesh on August 21 in Rawalpindi.

Cricket Australia has prepared a strong plan to celebrate the anniversary of Test cricket with great pomp. For this, the plan of Australia and England has come out. Both the teams will clash in a single Test match on the anniversary. This match will be held at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Let us tell you that the first match in Test history was played between Australia and England in 1877, which was held at the Melbourne ground. The on-field rivalry between Australia and England has been going on for a long time, which is known as the Ashes. The Ashes is the oldest series. However, it is not clear now whether the only Test to be played on the 150th anniversary will be a part of the Ashes or not. Earlier, when Test cricket completed 100 years in 1977, a match was played between England and Australia at the MCG. The Australian team captained by Greg Chappell defeated England by 45 runs at that time. Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Nick Hockley said that a Test match will be organized at the MCG on the 150th anniversary in March 2027, which will be a wonderful celebration of the longest format of cricket. We will eagerly wait to host England on that occasion. Boxing Day test matches will be played for the next seven years The MCG will not only host the match on the 150th anniversary but will also host Boxing Day Tests for the next seven years. Cricket Australia has revealed the venues for men’s international matches until 2030-31. The Test is played in the New Year at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). CA has also decided to continue this tradition. Hockley said that we are delighted to confirm the long-term hosting rights, which will provide certainty about the venues for some great cricket matches over the next seven years. We are confident that the best cricket will be played at the right time in the best venues across the country.

The second Test between the two teams is to be played at the National Stadium in Karachi. But let us tell you that this match will be played in an empty stadium as renovation work is going on to improve the venue for the 2025 Champions Trophy. This match between Bangladesh and Pakistan is scheduled to start on August 30 and will be part of the World Test Championship (WTC) program. Notably, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has allocated Rs 17 billion for the renovation of stadiums in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi. The 2025 Champions Trophy is the first major tournament to be played in Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup and the first ICC event since the 1996 ODI World Cup. The PCB issued a statement on Wednesday, August 14, confirming that fans will not be able to watch the match in the stadium due to construction work in the complex. “In view of the ongoing construction work at the National Stadium as part of preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken the difficult decision to hold the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, scheduled from 30 August to 3 September, without spectators,” the PCB statement read.The statement further said, “We understand how important a role our passionate audience plays in cricket, providing inspiration and encouragement to our players. However, the health and safety of our fans is our top priority. After carefully considering all available options, we have decided that the safest way is to hold the second Test match in an empty stadium.” The press release also stated that fans who have already bought tickets for the contest will be refunded their money, while the sale of unsold seats will be suspended immediately. Bangladesh’s tour of Pakistan will start from August 21 The upcoming red-ball assignment is crucial for Pakistan on multiple fronts. It is a great opportunity for the team to get back into the WTC race on home soil. It is also the first series for newly-appointed red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie, who is said to be a bit like Gautam Gambhir. It will also be the first time Shan Masood will lead his team on home soil after taking over the captaincy from Babar Azam.
