No Daily Allowance For Pakistan Women Cricketers In National Camps. Reason Is...

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to scrap the daily allowances of women players reporting for national camps. The decision to not give any sort of daily allowances to the players has left many disappointed and upset. "The players are not being given daily allowances because the board is now providing them accommodation and three full meals during the day," a PCB official said. But the players, attending the training camp presently in Multan for the home series against South Africa women's team, feel that the decision was not just as they had assembled from different parts of the country.

'If India Don't Honour ICC Commitments...": Ex-Pakistan Star's Massive Warning

Indian cricket team's participation in the Champions Trophy 2025 - to be held in Pakistan - remains in doubt with the BCCI not making any official announcement. The two sides have not played a single bilateral series against each other in almost a decade and the only time they face off is during international and continental competitions. However, Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ODI World Cup but India have not take any final decision. While there have been some reports of the tournament adapting a hybrid format, the ICC have no said anything on those lines and Pakistan have reportedly planned India's matches to be held in Lahore. Former Pakistan skipper Moin Khan fired a warning for India and during an interview with Cricket Pakistan, he said that the BCCI should honour ICC commitments.

India's Plan To Tackle Bangladesh's 6'5 Tall Pacer Nahid Rana - Report Reveals...

The Indian teams over the years have depended a lot on match simulations and Gautam Gambhir's outfit is no different, selecting net bowlers with specific skill-sets who can help the batters get ready for the Bangladesh series starting here from September 19. One of the pacers called up for the four-day camp here is Punjab's Gurnoor Brar, who has so far played five first-class matches and he was also with Punjab Kings during the IPL last season. While his first-class record isn't flattering, what worked for the 24-year-old is his tall 6 feet 4.5 inch frame and the disconcerting bounce that he can generate with more than skiddy pace. It is understood that Gurnoor has been drafted in specifically to get some simulation for the high-arm action of Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana, who had a match-haul of five wickets against Pakistan in a recent Test match at Rawalpindi.

Jay Shah Leads Birthday Wishes For India's T20I Captain Suryakumar Yadav

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah wished India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav on his 34th birthday on Saturday, adding that he's excited to see him lead the team to more wins in the shortest format.
