Lahore Qalandars' captain reached to three figures by dismissing Naseem Shah of Islamabad United during a 23rd PSL 9 match at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Wednesday.

I believe the England Cricket Team should be the Best Multi-Format Cricket Team in the World. While English Cricket is doing a lot of things well, they are falling short of being the Best Multi-Format Cricket Team in the World. That said, English Cricket deserves Great Credit for being able to deploy Jack Leach, Shoaib Bashir, and Rehan Ahmed on a Dust Bowl in Rawalpindi. While Pindi is a Test for Bazball, England's Ability to Deploy 3 Outstanding Young Spinners to Fight Fire with Fire deserves recognition. On the Other Hand, Pakistan Cricket is mortgaging its Theoretical Future by Creating Dust Bowls. In the First Innings of this Match, not a ball was bowled by a Fast Bowler. I wonder if that will encourage Fast Bowling in Pakistan? Two, Creating Dust Bowls makes life easy for the Basic Spinner. It doesn't create or help develop the Elite Spinner because the Pitch is doing so much of the work. #TestCricket #Pakistan #England

I am very surprised that there is no shortage of cricketers in Pakistan. There are so many players that even if we form 10 teams, there will still be more players left. Among these players, there is a lot of good talent. However, I think Osman Khan's decision is foolish because he doesn't seem to understand some basic things. Firstly, if he started playing cricket in the UAE, he should be thankful for that opportunity. Secondly, if he now says he wants to establish his future in Pakistan, was he not thinking about his future before? I can confidently say that Osman Khan's career will suffer in two years because of his decision. This is because in the Pakistani cricket team, recommendations and connections matter. As long as you have recommendations and connections, you can easily play for the Pakistani cricket team. I am also surprised that after a little bit of fame, a cricketer is thinking about leaving one country and playing for another. If the United Arab Emirates has given him an opportunity, he should be dedicated to them for life. Osman Khan's decision is very foolish because if he hasn't gained understanding yet, it will be very difficult for him. Some people may not agree with me because I am speaking the truth. Until now, whose career has been set in Pakistan? Only the career of this individual has been set. If you are powerful, wealthy, and have good connections, then you have to make friendships with four types of people - police officers, doctors, lawyers, and even some troublemakers if you want to establish your future in Pakistan. I hope Allah shows mercy on our country. Furthermore, the coaches of our cricket team or the members of the selection committee, like zaka ashraf and others, who have never had any involvement in cricket or life, have become chairmen because of their good connections with influential people or corrupt individuals. If you want to establish your future in Pakistan, you have to make friends with four types of people - police officers, doctors, lawyers, and even some troublemakers. #pcb #pakistan #cricket #status #hr #career
Multan Sultans' standout batsman, Usman Khan, has officially served a notice to the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) requesting the termination of his contract. Having impressed with his exceptional performance in the Pakistan Super League (PSL 9), where he scored two centuries and a total of 430 runs, Usman Khan has garnered attention from selectors and earned a place in the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) list of players attending a fitness camp in Kakul. Following legal consultation with the PCB, Usman has expressed his desire to pursue his future in Pakistan cricket, leading him to initiate the process of terminating his central contract with the Emirates Cricket Board. #Pakistan #Cricket #Emirates #Contract #PCB

The Pakistan-England Test series is facing uncertainty due to the incomplete preparation of cricket stadiums in Pakistan ¹. The series is scheduled to start from October 7 to 11 in Multan, followed by the second Test from October 15 to 19 in Karachi, and the third from October 24 to 28 in Rawalpindi ¹. However, the construction work in Rawalpindi, Karachi, and Lahore poses significant challenges for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as it prepares for the highly anticipated 2025 Champions Trophy ¹. If the construction is paused to accommodate the series, it will severely impact the readiness of the stadiums for the upcoming mega-event ¹. The PCB is exploring alternative venues, with the UAE being the preferred option ¹. However, scheduling conflicts arise due to the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, which is set to take place in Dubai and Sharjah from October 3 to 20, overlapping with the Pakistan-England series ¹. As a result, PCB officials are also considering Sri Lanka as a possible host ¹. The final decision will be made after discussions with the England Cricket Board (ECB) in the coming days ¹. The relocation of the series to UAE or Sri Lanka will be a significant blow to Pakistani cricket fans who were eagerly waiting to watch the series in their home country. . . . #PakistanCricket #EnglandCricket #UAE #SriLanka #CricketSeries #tribunetrends

India has officially informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that it will not send its team to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy scheduled for February 2024. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has requested that India’s matches be relocated to Dubai, citing ongoing concerns. "This has been our stance for a long time, and we don’t want to change it," BCCI sources stated, confirming their preference for matches to be played outside Pakistan. The ICC Champions Trophy, one of cricket's premier 50-over tournaments, will feature the world’s top eight nations, with plans for matches in various Pakistani cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. The PCB has clarified that it will not accept a "hybrid model" for the tournament, despite earlier speculation that it might accommodate India’s matches in the UAE. An ICC delegation is expected to visit Lahore from November 10 to 12 to evaluate the tournament preparations, with an official event scheduled for November 11 where further details and the tournament schedule are likely to be announced. #TruePakistan #CricketDiplomacy #ICCChampionsTrophy #SportsAndPolitics #PakistanCricket #InternationalRelations

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sent a clear message to India to give a written answer in "Yes or No" on the question of participation in the Champions Trophy. The schedule of International Cricket Council (ICC) events is usually announced three months in advance. The Champions Trophy schedule is expected to be released at a ceremony in Pakistan on November 11, with India's matches being held in Lahore. Pakistan will host the ICC Champions Trophy in February and March next year, however, India has yet to confirm its participation. According to reports, the Indian Cricket Board has been given a clear message that they should provide a written answer in yes or no to their government regarding going to Pakistan. Sources said that even if no response is received from India, the schedule will be released in which India's matches are held in Lahore; however, in case of refusal, the ICC has already made a plan B for which an additional budget has also been allocated. On the other hand, PCB is fully hopeful that the Indian team will come. According to the proposed schedule, the event will begin on February 19 with a match between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi. The semi-finals will be played on March 5 and 6 in Karachi and Rawalpindi; the winner will be decided on March 9 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. However, changes in the proposed schedule are possible. On the other hand, construction work on stadiums in Pakistan is going on rapidly. Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi will host the mega event. PCB has allocated about 13 billion rupees for the trophy. An ICC delegation is going to visit Pakistan soon to review it once again this week. #TheCurrent #PCB #ChampionsTrophy2025 #PAKvsIND

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has put forward a proposal to host all of India's matches in the 2025 Champions Trophy in Lahore. The draft schedule has been submitted to the International Cricket Council (ICC) for approval and will be discussed at the ICC Board meeting in July, which will take place in Sri Lanka. Initially, three cities - Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi - were considered as potential venues. However, the PCB has decided to focus on Lahore as the sole host city for India's matches. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has emphasized the board's commitment to hosting a successful tournament and is engaged in ongoing discussions with the ICC regarding security measures and stadium upgrades. This development comes amidst a backdrop of political tensions between Pakistan and India, which have prevented bilateral cricket series between the two nations since 2012/13. Despite these challenges, the PCB is determined to host a successful Champions Trophy, and the proposal to host India's matches in Lahore is a significant step towards achieving this goal. . . . #PCB #ChampionsTrophy #Cricket #PakistanIndiaRelations #Lahore #IndiaVsPakistan #CricketTournament #SportsDiplomacy #InternationalCricketCouncil #ICC #CricketNews #SportsNews #tribunetrends

India has formally informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that its cricket team will not travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy, scheduled for February 2025. Instead, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has requested that India’s matches be held in Dubai, citing consistent concerns that have influenced their stance for some time. According to BCCI sources, there is no intention to alter this position, underscoring a strong preference for Indian fixtures to take place outside Pakistan. The ICC Champions Trophy, a prestigious 50-over tournament featuring the world’s top eight cricketing nations, is set to take place across multiple Pakistani cities. Matches are scheduled in key venues including Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi. However, in response to India’s stance, the PCB has stated that it will not endorse a "hybrid model" for the event, countering earlier speculation that they might agree to hold India’s matches in the UAE. An International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation is expected to visit Lahore from November 10 to 12 to assess the tournament preparations, with an official event planned for November 11 to provide further updates and likely reveal the tournament schedule. Under the proposed group stage setup, Pakistan will compete in Group A alongside India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, while Group B will feature England, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan. The tournament, scheduled to run from February 19 to March 9, 2025, will see Lahore host seven matches, including the final. Karachi is set to hold the tournament opener and one of the semi-finals, while the other semi-final is planned for Rawalpindi. India’s participation will ultimately depend on the Indian government’s decision regarding travel clearance for Pakistan. #ICCTrophy #IndiaCricket #PakistanCricket #BCCI #ChampionsTrophy #CricketNews
