LAHORE, Pakistan : Pakistan's cricket board (PCB) have given fast bowler Haris Rauf permission to make a limited appearance in Australia's Big Bash League, ending a standoff with the player.
David Warner's inclusion in the Australia team for the Test series against Pakistan has become a subject of serious debate, with suggestions being made that the opening batter didn't deserve to be included in the team. Former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson, in his column, launched a sharp attack at Warner and the Australian selectors after he was added to the Test roster despite poor form. Johnson's criticism of Warner hasn't been welcomed by many, with Australia batter Usman Khawaja calling the comments by the former Aussie star "harsh".
Two days after his attack on former teammate and current Australia opener David Warner, former pacer Mitchell Johnson has revealed the reason behind his tirade. Johnson, who lashed out at the Aussie opener, while also reigniting the ball-tampering controversy, claimed that Warner doesn't deserve a "hero's sendoff" referring to the Pakistan series being his last. The 42-year-old had also taken shots at Australia chief selector Geroge Bailey for persisting with Warner despite his poor outings recently.
Pakistan fans have always turned out in large numbers despite their team's dismal record in the World Cup against arch-rivals India. The same was the case back in 2019 when the Virat Kohli-led side hammered Pakistan by 89 runs in a rain-hit match at Old Trafford, Manchester. A Pakistan fan, by the name of Momin Saqib, had caught all the limelight for his antics during the tournament in England. Momin, who was studying in London at that time, had travelled to Manchester with his brother to watch the game.
Former Australia star Mitchell Johnson left the entire cricket fraternity stunned with his vile attack at David Warner following the latter's inclusion in the team for the Test series against Pakistan. Johnson fumed at the prospect of Warner getting a "hero's sendoff", with the Pakistan Test series being his last in the format, while also targeting the chief selector Goerge Bailey over the opening batter's inclusion in the squad. While Bailey brushed aside the chatter, former Australia skipper Michael Clarke has had a few things to say on the subject.
Two-time champions India will look to make a winning start against Asian rivals Korea in their pursuit of another podium finish in the FIH men's Junior World Cup hockey tournament starting here on Tuesday. India have won the tournament twice, in 2001 in Hobart and 2016 in Lucknow, besides finishing runners-up once in Milton Keyes, England in 1997. In the last edition of the event in Bhubaneswar two years back, the Indians finished fourth and they would be hoping to clinch their fourth podium at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil here.
LAHORE: Pakistan is looking to reshape the future of football in the country after reaching out to Saudi Arabia for first-ever international collaboration in the field, the top official of the FIFA-backed Normalization Committee (NC) currently running the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF), said in a recent interview.
Pakistan's experienced wicketkeeper-batter Sarfaraz Ahmed laid out the team's plans to ruin Australia's star batter David Warner's farewell Test series. The Men in Green are currently in Canberra to play a 4-day game against the Australian PM XI ahead of the series, which will be played on December 9. After this game, Pakistan will face Australia in the first Test on December 14 in Perth, a game for which Warner has been named in the squad. Ahead of the clash, Sarfaraz stated the team's intentions to spoil Warner's special day and said, as quoted from Geo News, "We will try to get him out as soon as we can; we will try not to let him get off to a good start." The right-handed batter talked about the quality of the Kangaroos and made a vow that the team would play their best cricket.
