Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie (Image Credit- Twitter Pakistan cricket team’s white ball and red ball cricket coaches Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie have recently given a big statement and have told the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) not to change the captain of the team in a hurry after Pakistan’s poor performance in all formats. It is worth noting that after the Pakistan cricket team was eliminated from the round robin in the Cricket World Cup 2023, Babar Azam was suspended from the captaincy. After this, Shaheen got the command of the T20 team, and after a bad series, he was also suspended. So Babar was replaced by Shan Masood in Test cricket, and some media reports claimed that after losing 0-2 in the home two-match Test series against Bangladesh, Masood could also be removed from the post of captaincy. However, now recently a senior PCB source has given a big statement regarding this. PCB source gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently a senior source of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in an interview given to PTI was quoted by India Today as saying – There has been no discussion on changing the captains, as PCB President Mohsin Naqvi has left the decision on captaincy to the two coaches and selectors. Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillispie are very clear that both Shan and Babar need to be given proper time before their leadership abilities can be assessed. From this statement given by this senior PCB source, you can guess that both the coaches have clearly told the PCB that Masood and Azam should be given enough time to prove themselves. However, now it will be interesting to see how Pakistan performs in the three-match home Test series against England in October after facing defeat against Bangladesh?

Babar’s captaincy is in danger, now PCB can make this player the captain of Pakistan
Currently Babar Azam is the captain of Pakistan’s white ball format. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. (Image Source: Getty Images) After losing the Test series 0-2 against Bangladesh recently, turmoil has once again started in Pakistan cricket. According to the latest reports, Babar Azam may now be stripped of the limited overs captaincy. Babar had given up the captaincy of both formats last year, but before the ODI World Cup held in India, PCB made him the captain again. Now reports are coming out that Mohammad Rizwan can be given the responsibility of limited overs captaincy in place of Babar Azam. This rumor got further fuel when PCB announced 5 captains for the Champions ODI Cup. These 5 captains include Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Haris, but there is no mention of Babar. It is believed that the board is in the mood to take away the captaincy from Babar. Mohammad Rizwan can be made the captain of all three formats According to a Geo News report, there is every possibility of appointing a new captain in place of Babar Azam later this year. The appointment of a new captain for ODIs and T20s may happen before the Australia tour. Pakistan will play a series of three ODIs and three T20 matches against Australia from November 4, which will be very important for the Pak team before the Champions Trophy on their home ground. The report also states that white-ball coach Gary Kirsten had spoken to Pakistan Cricket Board officials and Babar on the matter two months ago. If all the concerned parties agree to choose Rizwan as the captain, he could be appointed captain for all three formats in the future, which could also cast a dark shadow on Shan Masood’s Test captaincy. Let us tell you, under the captaincy of Shan Masood, Pakistan had to face a humiliating defeat in the Test series against Bangladesh recently. In this series, apart from Mohammad Rizwan, no Pakistani batsman was able to leave a mark.

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.

Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in Rawalpindi, Ahmed Shahzad gave a befitting reply to PCB
Veteran player Ahmed Shahzad is very disappointed that Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi. PAK vs BAN (Photo Source: Getty Images) Veteran player Ahmed Shahzad is very disappointed that Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi. Let us tell you, Bangladesh has defeated Pakistan for the first time in Test. All the players of Bangladesh performed very well in the first Test and played an important role in their team’s victory. According to Ahmed Shahzad, the selectors of the Pakistan team are not including talented players from domestic cricket in the team and their selection method is very wrong. Bangladesh is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series after winning the first Test. Ahmed Shahzad shared a video on his official social media account in which he said, ‘I have never seen Pakistan fall so low in my life. There should be a discussion about batting, bowling and fielding. The team performed disappointingly in all three departments. Pakistan cricket has fallen down very fast and it will take time for them to recover from this defeat. The Pakistan team has not yet been able to recover from the defeat against Afghanistan. I have said this earlier also that if you take a decision for a short time then it will have a huge impact on your cricket. Pakistan cricket is going into obscurity and we should not have lost the match against Bangladesh. It is not the players’ fault, PCB did not select those players who have performed well in domestic cricket. I know this very well that there are not many players in domestic cricket but those who are performing well should definitely have been included in the national team. The second and final Test between the two teams begins on August 30 The second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh will begin in Rawalpindi on August 30. Even though the hosts did not perform well in the first Test, they will look to make a strong comeback in the second. Along with batting and bowling, the host’s performance has been poor in the fielding department as well. Talking about batting, apart from Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, no other player has been able to make a mark so far.

PCB will use Kookaburra balls for home Test matches, while Duke balls will be used for the domestic season
The Pakistan Cricket Board has taken this decision only after choosing the brand of cricket balls of its choice as per the ICC rules. PCB (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has recently decided that it is going to use Kookaburra balls for domestic Test matches. After this decision of the PCB, in the ongoing World Test Championship cycle 2023-25, the Pakistan cricket team will be seen playing a total of 7 Test matches on home soil with the Kookaburra ball. In these seven matches, Pakistan has proposed 2 Test matches against Bangladesh, 3 against England and 2 against West Indies. The Pak team will be seen playing all these Test matches in August, October and early next year. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board will continue to use Duke balls for the senior team for domestic cricket seasons and tournaments. Also, let us tell you that the PCB has taken this decision after a well-analyzed research based on the condition of the home ground and pitch. Apart from this, when it comes to grassroot level and junior cricket, PCB will be seen using Aceline and Greys balls. These balls will cover all types of matches of Pakistan’s Under-13, Under-17 and Under-19 teams. PCB took this decision after the appointment of Tony Hemming It is worth noting that recently the Pakistan Cricket Board has appointed Australia’s renowned pitch curator Tony Hemming as the head curator of PCB. So the pitches will be prepared under the supervision of Hemming for Pakistan’s domestic as well as international cricket schedule of 2024-25. However, before the construction of the pitches, the head curator advised the board to insist on changing the ball according to the format, so that along with the experience of the fans, quality cricket can also develop. Also, there is a possibility that the kind of pitch Hamming is going to make in the coming time, there will be an equal balance between ball and bat.
