Legendary Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Wasim Akram blasted the infrastructure of the country's cricket stadiums and said that the authorities have been unsuccessful in maintaining the three stadiums on the northern side of the country. During a discussion on A Sports, Akram was asked by a fan about Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) not investing in a new stadium in northern Pakistan with references to India's Dharamsala Stadium and New Zealand's Queenstown Stadium. Akram remarked that the roof on the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is currently in poor condition before adding that they can only dream of building a new stadium despite having a lot of area in places like Abbottabad.
Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Irfan has slammed the critics questioning Virat Kohli's place in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup. This comes after a report in the Telegraph claimed that the Indian selectors are considering snubbing Kohli from the squad for the marquee event in the West Indies and the USA. The former India captain had been out of the T20 setup for more than 14 months, before returning earlier this year for the series against Afghanistan.
Former Australian all-rounder, Shane Watson, who is in line to take over as Pakistan cricket team's head coach, is yet to make up his mind despite the PCB accepting his remuneration demands. According to sources in the board, Watson has demanded $2 million annually, which is approximately around 46 million rupees per month, the highest fee ever paid to a foreign coach. Former foreign coaches of Pakistan such as Richard Pybus, Bob Woolmer, Geoff Lawson, Dav Whatmore, Grant Bradburn and Mickey Arthur were paid much less than what Watson has demanded.

Babar was arranging the field for the start of the second innings, with the spider cam following him. However, he got scared by the spider cam's movement as he thought that the device might hit him.
