"When I Saw Highlights...": Ravichandran Ashwin's Brutal Take On Pakistan's Loss vs Bangladesh

India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin does not shy away from a bold comment when talking cricket, and it was no different as he analysed Pakistan's recent loss to Bangladesh in the first Test at Rawalpindi. Pakistan fell to a dramatic Day 5 defeat, losing to Bangladesh for the first time ever in Tests. In the game, Pakistan captain Shan Masood had declared the first innings at 448, despite the team having lost only six wickets.

PCB Concerned Over Fast Bowler Ihsanullah's Recovery From Injury

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is concerned over young fast bowler Ihsanullah's prolonged recovery from an elbow injury, which has persisted for a year. A reliable PCB source told PTI that senior officials are frustrated with Ihsanullah's recent behavior, particularly after he contradicted a statement made by his father.

He informed the media that Ihsanullah also preferred to continue his rehab at the NCA.

"Be Afraid Of God": Ex-Pakistan Star Defends Babar Azam, Takes Swipe At PCB

Former Pakistan pacer Tanveer Ahmed has thrown his weight behind star batter Babar Azam amid criticism over his poor form. Babar managed scores of 0 and 22 in the first Test against Bangladesh, a match which Pakistan lost by 10 wickets. While Babar's last century came on 30th August 2023 against Nepal in Multan during the Asia Cup, the player has been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism, especially with Pakistan failing to win games on home soil. However, Tanveer has defended Babar, and instead lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for making the star batter a scapegoat amid Pakistan's winless streak in the World Test Championship (WTC).

He expressed his displeasure at PCB organising a One-Day tournament after the Bangladesh Tests and said that more focus should be on red-ball cricket as Pakistan lack a strong pool of cricketers when it comes to the format.

Ollie Pope Seeks Joe Root Advice On How To Balance Batting And Captaincy

Ollie Pope has asked Joe Root for guidance on how best to balance the demands of batting and captaincy after an awkward first outing as stand-in England skipper against Sri Lanka. Pope, in the first of three matches deputising for the injured Ben Stokes, led England to a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka at Old Trafford last week as they went 1-0 up with two Tests to play.
