PCB Announces Massive Reward To Each Player If Pakistan Win T20 World Cup 2024 Trophy

Each member of Pakistan's T20 World Cup squad will get USD 100,000 if the team wins the ICC event in June in Americas, the country's cricket board announced on Sunday. The announcement was made by the PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi after spending nearly two hours with the players here before their departure for the away T20 series against Ireland and England on Monday night. Naqvi also said that the prize money held no importance compared to lifting the trophy, expressing the hope that the team would raise the Pakistan flag. "Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi announced to give 100,000 dollars prize to every player for winning the T20 World Cup," the PCB posted on social media.

Suryakumar Yadav Continues To Lead ICC T20 Batter Rankings, Babar Azam Moves To...

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has closed the gap on India dynamo Suryakumar Yadav at the top of the ICC Men's T20I batter rankings with his team managing to draw the latest series against New Zealand. Babar was Pakistan's leading run-scorer during the enthralling series that ended tied at 2-2, with the right-hander scoring a half-century in the fifth T20I of the series to finish with a total of 125 runs from four innings at the top of his side's batting order. Pakistan won the fifth T20I with the first match washed out due to rain.

"Ye Kya Baat Hui?": Wahab Unhappy As Babar Turns Down Request During Practice

A video of Pakistan captain Babar Azam getting frustrated by former international pacer Wahab Riaz has gone viral on social media. The video was shared by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on April 25. The clip is from a six-hitting challenge between the country's senior men's cricket team and its support staff. As Wahab, who is the chief selector of the Pakistan men's cricket team but not the part of the support staff, asked Babar to let him bat during the contest, the skipper visibly got frustrated. Azhar Mahmood, Pakistan's head coach for the recently-concluded New Zealand T20I series, pushed Riaz away.

On Pakistan's Shocking Loss To New Zealand 'B' Team, Ex-PCB Chief Ramiz Raja Says "Captaincy Change..."

Former cricketer and PCB chairman Ramiz Raja slammed the Pakistan team management for their attempts to experiment with the squad ahead of the T20 World Cup. Pakistan suffered a second consecutive defeat in their ongoing series against New Zealand, which allowed the Kiwis to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the five-match T20I series. An inexperienced New Zealand side left the hosts dazed with a clinical performance in all facets of the game in the 4th T20I.

"Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan Don't Represent Whole Team": Mohammed Hafeez On Pakistan Stars

Former Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez stated that skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan cannot take responsibility for the whole team on their shoulders. The record-breaking duo forged a 105-run stand which was their third-century partnership at a Men's T20I World Cup. They set a new record, for registering the most hundred stands as an opening duo in the history of the tournament. During Hafeez's tenure, a change in Pakistan's white-ball set-up witnessed a massive change as the opening duo of Babar and Rizwan was disbanded and Saim Ayub was named as the opener while the Pakistan captain was dropped to no. 3 spot.

The hosts trail 1-2 in the five-match series with the final game, also in Lahore, on Saturday.
