Ramiz Raja has launched a scathing attack on Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi over the appointment of Mickey Arthur as director of cricket of the senior men's team. On Thursday, PCB confirmed the appointment of Arthur as the men's team director, a post which will ensure him play a major role in the preparations for the 50-over World Cup to be held in India later this year. However, the former Pakistan captain Raja tore into the PCB chief Sethi, calling the announcement 'crazy as a clown in a village circus' stuff.

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has praised the Indian cricket board (BCCI) for announcing a substantial increase in the prize money for domestic competitions.

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif feels that Arjun Tendulkar, son of batting great Sachin Tendulkar, might not be able to generate pace in his bowling as his "alignment is not good". Arjun made his IPL debut last week during Mumbai Indians' game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, but went wicketless. However, the 23-year-old picked his maiden IPL wicket, dismissing SunRisers Hyderabad's Bhuvneshwar Kumar in MI's last match. While Arjun has been receiving praise from all corners, Latif suggested that the youngster needs to work a lot on his body as his balance isn't good
A hailstorm shower ended the fourth Twenty20 international in Rawalpindi after New Zealand's Mark Chapman and Chad Bowes hit aggressive half centuries against Pakistan on Thursday.

It turned into a hailstorm as match officials assessed the conditions before calling off the match as abandoned. Pakistan leads the five-match series 2-1 after winning the first two matches by 88 and 38 runs while New Zealand took the third by four runs -- all in Lahore.
