Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ramiz Raja on Sunday tweeted an old video of his, from 2019, in which he can be seen speaking about Imran Khan. In the video, Ramiz Raja talks about the reasons why he thought Imran would succeed as Prime Minister of Pakistan; Imran Khan was elected PM in August 2018. Ramiz Raja was an integral part of the Pakistani cricket team, led by Imran Khan, that had won the 1992 cricket World Cup.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ramiz Raja was elated after Pakistan managed to salvage a draw from the jaws of defeat in the recently-concluded second Test against Australia at the National Stadium in Karachi. Chasing a daunting total of 506 runs, Pakistan lost the wickets of openers Imam-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali early. However, skipper Babar Azam slammed a brilliant 196, while fighting knocks from Mohammad Rizwan (104) and Abdullah Shafique (96) eventually forced the series to a decider. Notably, the first Test in Rawalpindi had also ended in a draw.
Former India batter Aakash Chopra has reacted to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ramiz Raja's idea of bringing in an auction model for Pakistan Super League (PSL), saying one will never see a player getting a price tag as heavy as Rs 16 crore. Earlier, Ramiz Raja had said that if an auction model is used for PSL, then one can really judge who chooses to play Indian Premier League over PSL.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) summoned former ICC Academy head curator Toby Lumsden to oversee the preparations for the final game at Gaddafi Stadium starting Monday. In the two Tests so far, eight centuries have been scored -- six by Pakistani batters and two by Australia in Karachi. Both games have produced over 2300 runs with 14 wickets falling in Pindi and 28 in Karachi.
Australia are currently squaring off against Pakistan in the ongoing second Test. On Day 4 Australia captain Pat Cummins garnered the spotlight as he tried his hand at fixing the Karachi pitch. The incident happened in the 53rd over of the innings when Cameron Green had the ball in hand. Cummins stepped up to fix the uneven part of the bowler's landing area on the pitch with a hammer in hand and the ground staff were left in awe, looking how naturally the task came to the Australia Test skipper. Cummins pounded the turf with the hammer as he tried to make the landing area for Green a little more comfortable.
Alarmed by the poor showing of the national team in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja on Tuesday said the PCB is planning to introduce a proper domestic set-up for them, which includes a T20 franchise-based league to begin early next year to unearth new talent.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja has said that he wants to move on from the draft system to the auction model in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The former Pakistan cricketer said that the "market forces" were conducive for it and that the board would sit with PSL teams owners to discuss the matter. Raja said that an auction model, and an increased purse in the PSL could put the tournament "in the IPL bracket".
Undeterred by India's lack of interest, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja says he will discuss his proposal to launch a four-nation ODI tournament with BCCI counterpart Sourav Ganguly during the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting in Dubai on March 19. Ramiz told reporters at the national stadium in Karachi that he has proposed the tournament, also featuring Australia and England, to ensure that players from India and Pakistan get to play each other more often and to increase revenue for other member countries in the International Cricket Council.
