The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday fined Islamabad United pacer Naseem Shah 10 per cent of his match fee after he breached Pakistan Super League's (PSL) code of conduct during a match against Multan Sultans at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. Naseem who features for Islamabad United on Sunday kicked the stumps after the final ball of Multan Sultans' innings.
The Pakistan Super League sprang a big surprise this year as two-time champions Lahore Qalandars got knocked out of the race for the play-offs after a disastrous league campaign.
There is an interesting narrative that is being spoken about in Pakistan cricket these days. It's a perceived tussle between Shaheen Afridi and Wasim Akram. It all started when Wasim Akram criticised Shaheen Afridi's batting prowess as he promoted himself up the order in a Pakistan Super League game. Lahore Qalandars captain Shaheen Afridi in a match against Karachi Kings scored and was blasted by Akram for promoting himself ahead of Sikandar Raza and David Weise.
Newly appointed PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi would be eyeing an assurance from BCCI secretary Jay Shah on India's participation in next year's Champions Trophy in Pakistan during next week's ICC Meeting in Dubai but is unlikely to make headway as of now. The ICC Executive board will meet in Dubai next week and Naqvi plans to speak to the global body's brass as well as Indian board's top boss Shah on the sidelines but for a tournament scheduled in February-March of 2025, there is no way that Indian board will right away make any commitments of travelling to Pakistan with nearly one year left. While Champions Trophy is an ICC tournament and with every other cricketing nation travelling to Pakistan, the BCCI will not entirely close its door but any clearance from the government of India will not come at least weeks before the tournament commences.
A series win over England by 4-1 helped India claim the top position in the ICC Men's Test Team Rankings, taking over Australia. After losing the first Test in Hyderabad by a close margin of 28 runs, India fought back in style to win the remaining four Tests against England. Wins in Vizag, Rajkot, Ranchi, and now Dharamsala have helped the side return to the top position in the ICC Test Team Rankings, as per ICC.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team finished the five-match series against England on a high with a huge innings and 64 runs win. The victory saw the side pocketing the series 4-1. After losing the first Test, the hosts made a brilliant comeback to win the rest of the matches in style. Despite top stars like Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami not part of the series, India thrashed England. Debutants like Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, Devdutt Padikall, Akash Deep impressed as the future looks bright for India.
Legendary Pakistan cricket team skipper Wasim Akram blasted Abdullah Shafique for his 'silent' celebration after taking a good catch to dismiss Imad Wasim during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2024 match between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United on Thursday. Abdullah took a sharp catch at first slip and then celebrated by putting his finger over his mouth to 'silence his critics'. However, Akram was not happy with his celebration and went on to say that he should 'work in the drama industry'.
Since then, Naqvi has become a role model for millions of young women in Pakistan, a country ranked 145 out of 146 in the gender equality index by the World Economic Forum. In Pakistan's traditional Islamic and largely conservative society, many women are pressured to marry young and abandon any desire for a professional career.
