England cricketers arrive for first Pakistan tour since 2005

cricket squad touched down in Karachi on Thursday on their first tour of Pakistan in 17 years -- a lengthy absence brought about by security fears. England last played in Pakistan in 2005 and were due to visit last year until pulling out at short notice after New Zealand also cancelled a tour citing safety concerns. The move infuriated the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), desperate to rehabilitate its security reputation, who called it "disrespectful".

"Equated With MS Dhoni...": Bangladesh T20 Coach On Ex-Captain Who Got Dropped From T20 World Cup Squad

After their group stage exit from the Asia Cup, the Bangladesh cricket team management did a shake-up while naming their squad for the T20 World Cup. It axed former captain Mahmudullah Riyad and recalled batsman Najmul Hossain for next month's marquee tournament in Australia. The Asia Cup campaign highlighted the team's 20-over woes, with Bangladesh turfed out in the group stage after losing to Afghanistan and eventual winners Sri Lanka.

"These Two Are Not Going To Win You Tournaments": Ex-Pakistan Star Criticises Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan

The Pakistan cricket team enjoyed a great run in the Asia Cup until they were defeated in the final by Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka first raised themselves from the dungeons to reach 170 for 6 from a hopeless 58 for 5 because of Bhanuka Rajapaksa's 45-ball-71, easily one of the best knocks under pressure in T20s in recent times. If that wasn't enough, Pakistan, who were cruising along at 93 for 2, were finally bowled out Pakistan for 147. In the final, world No. 1 T20I batter Rizwan (55 off 49 balls) as played the sheet anchor's role hitting the odd boundaries while Pakistan captain and world No. 2 T20I batter Babar Azam was out for 5.

SAFF U-17 Championship: India Wins Title, Defeats Nepal 4-0 In Final

India put up a clinical performance to clinch the SAFF U-17 Championship title, defeating a 10-man Nepal 4-0 in the Final on Wednesday, September 14, 2022, at the Racecourse International Stadium, in Colombo, Sri Lanka. With this win, India retains the title. Boby Singh, Korou Singh, captain Vanlalpeka Guite, and Aman scored a goal each, to shape a resounding victory in India's favour. In the group league, Nepal defeated India 3-1. However, in the final, India looked a side eager to take complete charge of the proceedings right from the word go. They got off the blocks early in the match, looking to find the gaps in the Nepal defence, and managed to get the lead in the 18th minute through Boby, who headed it into the goal at the far post, after a good piece of play between Ricky Meetei and Vanlalpeka Guite, as the latter sailed a cross towards the eventual goalscorer.

Bangladesh axe Mahmudullah Riyad from T20 World Cup squad

This month's disappointing Asia Cup campaign highlighted the team's 20-over woes, with Bangladesh turfed out in the group stage after losing to Afghanistan and eventual winners Sri Lanka. Mahmudullah's inclusion was under a cloud after a lacklustre 151 runs across his eight match appearances in 2022. Indian cricketer Sridharan Sriram, appointed last month as the team's T20 consultant, said it was time for the team to think of its future beyond the 36-year-old.
