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.

In this entire tournament, the players of the Pakistan team failed to leave their mark and this is the reason why they failed to win even against an associate team like USA. Mohammad Asif said on ‘The Naksh Khan Show’ that, ‘We had to face defeat against USA who were playing the T20 World Cup for the first time. They had not even qualified for this tournament but were playing because the T20 World Cup 2024 was being played at their home. Looking at the current situation, it can be said that USA will defeat Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026 as well and I am completely sure about this. Here is the video: Talking about the match played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan batted first and scored 159 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 20 overs. Shadab Khan played an innings of 40 runs for the team while captain Babar Azam scored 44 runs at a strike rate of 102.33. In the last over, the hosts needed 15 runs to win the match. Haris Rauf gave 14 runs in the last over and the match went to the super over. Mohammad Aamir gave 18 runs in the super over and in reply, Pakistan team could score only 13 runs after losing one wicket and lost the match. The batsmen of the Pakistan team could not leave their mark in this entire tournament. Not only this, many questions were raised on the captaincy of Babar Azam. The most disappointing thing for the team was that it could not even qualify for the Super 8.

Pakistan Team (Pic Source: X) After the poor performance in ODI World Cup 2023, T20 World Cup 2024, it is clear that the level of Pakistan cricket team is declining. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said that Pakistan Cricket Board now needs “major surgery”. What does surgery mean? PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has now realized that the Pakistan team does not have the people and data to select talented players, due to which the national team is suffering. This comment of Naqvi was criticized by Pakistan lost their first test against Bangladesh It came a day after. Naqvi said, “The problem is that the selection committee does not have a group of players to select players from. I talked about surgery because we need to fix our problems. But when we look at how to solve them, we do not have any concrete data or more players to turn to for help. The whole system was messed up. The Champions Cup (Pakistan’s domestic tournament) will bring out the best talents and we will have records of many players.” The mission is to find talented players from domestic tournaments The PCB has appointed five mentors for the domestic Champions Cup starting in a few weeks which will be involved in five teams. Waqar Younis, Misbah-ul-Haq, Saqlain Mushtaq, Sarfraz Ahmed and Shoaib Malik will work as mentors. Their job will be to identify talented players of the country and give them opportunities. Naqvi said that the 150 players selected for the Champions Cup have been selected with the help of artificial intelligence. He said that the performance and record of the Champions Cup will help the selectors in making necessary changes in the senior team of Pakistan. Bad players will be immediately removed from Pakistan team Naqvi said, “We had many players whose records we did not have. This cup will strengthen domestic cricket, we will have a pool of 150 players, and then whatever surgery we need to do in the team, the selection committee will do it. People said ‘do it today, remove four-five players from the team and get rid of them’. But you cannot remove someone unless you have a better player to replace him”

The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced a 15-member squad for the upcoming tournament. The board has removed Nida Dar and handed over the captaincy to Fatima Sana. Pakistan’s performance was poor in the recent Women’s Asia Cup held in Sri Lanka, perhaps that is why the board has changed the captain. 22-year-old Fatima is going to lead the team in an ICC T20I tournament for the first time. She has previously led Pakistan in two ODIs. Pakistan lost one match, while in one match the team won in the super over against New Zealand.

“Has the pitch been made or..” Why did Naseem Shah raise questions on the pitches made by his own cricket board?
Naseem Shah, one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers, openly expressed his displeasure over the pitches in Pakistan in a press conference. Naseem Shah (Image Source: Twitter) The first match of the Test series is being played between Pakistan and Bangladesh. After the fourth day of the first Test match, a debate has once again erupted over the pitches in Pakistan. The condition of pitches in the country has been a controversial issue, especially following criticism during Pakistan’s home series against Australia and England in 2022. Critics said the pitches were highly favourable to the batsmen, leading to an unbalanced contest that did not suit Pakistan’s strengths. Hopes were high that the new administration would address these concerns by improving the quality of pitches for home Tests. However, similar problems have been reported in the ongoing Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, where the pitch remains highly favourable for batsmen. These questions are being raised after Bangladesh scored 565 runs in the first innings. Pakistani bowlers are now getting angry themselves This pitch has not only affected the competitiveness of the match but is also causing frustration among the Pakistani bowlers, who are struggling a lot. Naseem Shah, one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers, openly expressed his displeasure during the press conference. Let’s know what Naseem Shah said about the pitches Naseem said in the post-match press conference, “I believe we have played many such series where we have got such pitches. People tried their best to prepare a helpful pitch, but I think the surface was not that helpful due to the heat or excessive sunlight. We have to think about how we can take advantage of playing on home ground, because you have to win the match at any cost. We did not get the help from the pitch that we expected. But everyone tried their best.” Asked how Pakistan can take advantage of playing on home grounds, Naseem said efforts could be made to aid the spinners if green pitches are difficult to maintain. Naseem further said, “This is not my expertise, but we have to use the home advantage. If we cannot make green pitches that help fast bowlers, then give us pitches that help spinners. Test cricket has come a long way now. Fans are coming to watch matches even in this heat. You feel the need to entertain them. You should not feel that you are facing challenges while playing the game.”

Babar Azam failed in the first test against Bangladesh, Pakistani batsman got out on 0 for the first time at home in test cricket
In this match, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. Babar Azam (Pic Source-X) Currently, the first match of the two-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is being played in Rawalpindi. In this match, Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bowl first. Their decision has been excellent so far and Pakistan has lost three important wickets till the tea break on the first day. In this match, experienced batsman Babar Azam from Pakistan failed to score big and was out without opening his account. Babar Azam’s wicket was taken by Bangladesh’s best fast bowler Shoriful Islam. Babar Azam came to bat at number four in this match. He defended the first ball very well but the second ball hit his bat and went to Bangladesh wicketkeeper Liton Das. Liton Das took the catch of Babar Azam very well. Pakistan has lost three wickets for just 16 runs.

Till the tea break of the first day’s play, Shoriful Islam has taken two wickets while Hasan Mahmood has taken one wicket. Talking about Babar Azam, his performance in international cricket has been very poor for some time now. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the performance of the Pakistan team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 was very poor and it could not secure its place in the Super 8. However, the host would definitely want to win the Test series currently being played against Bangladesh. Even though Pakistan team did not have a good start in the first Test, they still have many players who can play crucial innings and take their team to a respectable score.
