Former Pakistan pacer Sarfaraz Nawaz finds the Babar Azam-led side a more stable unit than India as the arch-rivals have not been able to "work out" their combinations going into the Asia Cup and subsequent ODI World Cup. India will go into the Asia Cup, starting August 31, without finalising their middle-order. “Pakistan has a much more settled and stable outfit for the Asia Cup and World Cup when compared to India. The Indians have still not been able to work out their final combination for these major events,” Nawaz told the media in Lahore on Friday.
Pakistan star pacer Shaheen Afridi entered The Hundred competition with a bang as he took two wickets on his first two deliveries for the Welsh Fire against Manchester Originals on Wednesday. Due to rain, the match got reduced to 40 balls-per side and the Fire posted a total of 94/3 after being asked to bat first. However, the Originals fell short by 9 runs as they were restricted to 85/4. Shaheen played a huge role in the Fire's victory as he dismissed Phil Salt and Laurie Evans in the first over.
England star pacer Stuart Broad recently hung his boots from all forms of international cricket. The fifth and final Ashes Test against Australia last week was his last appearance in a international match. In 167 Test matches, Broad has taken a whopping total of 604 wickets, becoming the fifth-highest wicket-taker in Tests and second for his side. Recently, the 37-year-old cricketer lavished praise on Pakistan star pacer Shaheen Afridi and called him one of his "favourite" bowlers in the world.
Pakistan cricket team is in for a game-changing boost with the introduction of new central contracts, which will see a historic rise in remuneration for the players. According to report in Cricket Pakistan, Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee, Zaka Ashraf, revealed the governing body's intention is to recognise the players' talent and dedication towards the sport. Ashraf, who recently took over as chairman of the PCB, believes the board runs because of the cricketers and their efforts.
Noman Ali took seven wickets to lead Pakistan's rout of Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs to clinch the second Test inside four days and sweep the series 2-0 on Thursday. The left-arm spinner took the first seven and fast bowler Naseem Shah took the final three to bowl out Sri Lanka for 188 in the evening session in Colombo.
Pakistan's Abdullah Shafique took a sensational catch to dismiss Sadeera Samarawickrama on Day 4 of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle International Stadium. On the delivery of Agha Salman, the Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batter got a thick edge and Shafique showed his brilliant reflex action to pull off a blinder at short leg. The ball was travelling to the right of Shafique, who was moving to his left as Samarawickrama had jumped out of his crease to play the ball. However, the fielder adjusted beautifully to take a one-handed stunner.
Pakistan lost three wickets in a tricky 131-run chase on day four of the rain-hit opening Test on Wednesday, after spinners Noman Ali and Abrar Ahmed helped bowl Sri Lanka out for 279.

Left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya struck twice with the wickets of Abdullah Shafique, caught behind for eight, and Shan Masood for seven.
