Pakistan Super League fails to ignite in early matches

DUBAI: As the 10th match was completed in the Pakistan Super League, a third of the way into the tournament, it feels as if it is stuck in first gear. The excitement that once defined the league — packed stadiums, electrifying contests, a sense of national celebration — has been conspicuously absent. This is especially the case in Karachi. In the 2019 final, the National Stadium, despite logistical challenges, hosted a rocking full house. Now, it has sparsely populated stands.

Saudi Arabia not ruling out a bid for 2035 Rugby World Cup

JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia, hosts of the 2034 football World Cup, could make a bid for the 2035 Rugby World Cup despite barely playing the game. Sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal was not ruling it out when he met reporters on the sidelines of Sunday’s floodlit Formula One grand prix in Jeddah. “We’re interested in rugby, we’re interested in developing the sport locally, so we created a federation to see what we can do to develop the sport,” he said. “I don’t think we’re on the level of hosting yet but ‘35 is in 10 years so maybe it grows in that direction and we see a big interest in that, then why not?” The Times newspaper reported last month that Saudi Arabia could join with Qatar, who hosted the 2022 football World Cup, and the United Arab Emirates in a joint bid for 2035 or 2039. It quoted Asia Rugby President Qais Al-Dhalai, an Emirati, as saying it could happen. “A multi-host could be a successful story and a new model for rugby. UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia.

"Pakistan Experience Soured My Love For Coaching": Australia Great's Blunt Remark

Former Australia all-rounder Jason Gillespie has given a massive statement regarding his stint as coach of the Pakistan cricket team. He said that his stint with the side has taken his interest off the role. Now 49 years old, Gillespie was appointed as the coach of Pakistan Test team in April last year. He could not stay long and resigned from his pot months later in December. The former Australia pacer stepped down from his role after the Pakistan Cricket Board decided not to extend High Performance coach Tim Nielsen's contract. He was also upset over the fact that the PCB had also barred the coaches from having a say in the selection matters, a decision which had led to the ouster of white-ball coach Gary Kirsten.

"My Concern For England...": Australia Great Criticises Bazball, Gives Prediction For Ashes vs Australia

Former Australian pacer Jason Gillespie backed Australia to retain the Ashes 2025-26 series at home, saying that the conditions will offer enough support to Australian bowlers but that England could falter with the bat in Australian conditions, costing them the prestigious series. The Ashes series 2025-26 will kickstart in Perth from November 21 onwards. Currently, the Ashes urn is with England following a 2-2 draw in the UK. England has not won a Test in Australia since 2011, when they last won the series. They had lost all two previous series in Australia by 4-0 and faced a whitewash in 2013. They have not held the prestigious urn at home either, drawing the series in 2019 and 2023.

Ex-Pakistan Coach Jason Gillespie Blasts Sunil Gavaskar Over "Absolute Nonsense" Comments

The Pakistan cricket team's downfall in recent years is a topic that continues to invite theories and reasoning from all corners of the globe. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side failed to win a single game in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 despite being the hosts of the tournament, crashing out in the group stage.
