So Younis has been seen meeting Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi regarding his role in the board. Also, if everything goes well, Younis will be seen working in a big role with the board at the beginning of next month. This role of Younis in the Pakistan Cricket Board will be similar to the one that Robert Key is currently playing in the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). If ESPN Cricinfo is to be believed, Mohsin Naqvi can hand over the responsibility of all cricket related matters of the board to Younis, such as selection and high performance along with other matters.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made it clear that the government will decide on playing in Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been trying to convince the BCCI for a long time. However, PCB has now given up this tension and has adopted a new strategy. PCB has handed over the task of convincing India to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy to the International Cricket Council (ICC). Let us tell you that in the Asia Cup held last year under the hosting of PCB, India played all its matches in Sri Lanka on the basis of ‘hybrid model’. However, there is no clarity on whether the ‘hybrid model’ will be adopted in the Champions Trophy or not. Although the Champions Trophy budget was approved at the recent ICC meeting in Colombo, the schedule and format were not discussed. The ICC has kept supplementary expenses in its tournament budget to deal with any situation, including the possibility of the Indian team playing its matches outside Pakistan. This report came out regarding Champions Trophy According to media reports, a PCB source said, “The PCB has now done what was expected of it as the host of the Champions Trophy. It has submitted the draft schedule and format of the competition and has also submitted the budget for the competition.” He said, “Now it is up to the ICC how quickly they circulate, discuss and finalise the schedule of the Champions Trophy. The PCB has suggested in the draft schedule to host all the matches of India in Lahore including the semi-finals (if India qualifies) and the final.”

If he is not disciplined, then he should be removed, and some other player should get a place in the team. Butt further said- If you (PCB) gave him a full chance despite all these issues and are now complaining, then I think anyone can do this. What is the point of appointing big names with such high salaries. The job of the management is not to complain but to take action. On the other hand, let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Shaheen Afridi was leading the Pakistan cricket team in T20 cricket, but before the T20 World Cup, he was removed from the captaincy in a very dramatic manner.

Former Pakistani cricketer accused PCB of protecting Babar Azam, said this big thing
Following Pakistan cricket team’s defeat in the T20 World Cup 2024, Babar’s captaincy has come under heavy criticism.

Basit Ali made a big statement about Babar Azam Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Cricket Pakistan, Basit Ali said- A report is being prepared against Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan that they have formed a separate group, which is wrong. Do not put your faults on others, otherwise Pakistan cricket will be ruined. If you think Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and Babar Azam are not on the same pitch, then you should remove them completely. Don’t just blame the other two and make the third one a hero, it would be wrong. Ali further said- Everyone knows how Babar Azam has captained, not only in this tournament but also in the World Cup 2023. When you gave the last over to Mohammad Nawaz in Melbourne in the last T20 World Cup against India, did it not open your eyes. How would a player feel after being removed from captaincy after just five matches. Imagine how he must have felt. Let us tell you that fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was made the captain of T20 cricket by the PCB for some time, but before the T20 World Cup 2024, the captaincy was once again handed over to Babar Azam.

Ali also said that all three players should be blamed instead of just two players. Pakistan’s cricket will be destroyed – Basit Ali Times of India quoted Basit as saying, “The preparations that are being made, the reports that are being made are against Shaheen Shah Afridi and Rizwan. They have formed a grouping. Which is wrong. Those who are making these reports, those who have it in their mind to pour their wealth on them, don’t do this. Pakistan’s cricket will be destroyed!” He further said, “I am saying these things now, God forbid if this thing happens then it is your mistake. If you think that Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Babar Azam are not on the same pitch. If you want to remove them, then remove all three. It is not that you make two of them scapegoats and the third one a hero.” He said, “It is wrong. What kind of captaincy Babar has shown. Not just in this tournament, he has been captaining since the World Cup. He made Nawaz bowl the last over in Melbourne. Weren’t your eyes open then?”
