After Pakistan’s humiliating defeat against India in the ICC T20 World Cup in New York in June this year, former Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram was seen strongly criticizing the team.

In his statement, Akram had sharply criticized the Pakistan cricket team and said that now the time has come for big changes in Pakistan cricket. However, now when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has offered the post of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to the legendary cricketer regarding these changes, he has rejected it citing family commitments.

According to some media reports of Cricket Pakistan, the former cricketer was offered the post of CEO or Chief Advisor of Pakistan Cricket by the Pakistan Cricket Board, but he has rejected it due to personal reasons. It is worth noting that Wasim currently lives in Lahore district of Pakistan, but he often visits Australia.

On the other hand, after Akram rejected this post, PCB has offered this post to former Pakistani fast bowler and coach Waqar Younis, who lives in Australia. Younis has also shown interest in this post. Now it will be interesting to see how long it takes for PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi to bring Waqar Younis back to Pakistan cricket?

Jasprit Bumrah & Sunil Gavaskar (Photo Source: Getty Images) The first Test match between India and Australia is being played at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is very angry after seeing the playing XI with which Team India captain has entered in the first match of the series. Washington Sundar has been included as a spin all-rounder in the playing XI for the first Test, while both senior and experienced Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin have been dropped. After seeing this decision of the team management, Sunil Gavaskar scolded head coach Gautam Gambhir and stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah for this decision on live TV. Sunil Gavaskar took Jasprit Bumrah’s class Gavaskar said, ‘It was really surprising that R Ashwin and Jadeja did not play, they have taken 900 wickets in Test matches. He is not a bowler who can play only in Indian or subcontinental conditions. He is a very clever bowler, he is a very experienced bowler. Even if they don’t get you wickets, they will be able to slow down the scoring rate because of the cleverness with which they bowl. Gavaskar further said, ‘I felt that there are very long boundaries on these Australian wickets, so in such a situation you can include both of them in the playing XI. But this is a new management and new thinking. He has gone with Nitish Kumar Reddy, who is a promising player. There is no fault of his in this, but my only question is, is he completely prepared for Test cricket? Former legend, ‘He has not played many first class matches and so clearly, I think, this selection of Nitish is based on expectations and nothing less than that. Like all Indian cricket followers, I hope it is successful. The Indian team won the toss and batted first and the entire team was all out after scoring 150 runs.
