This change comes after a series of matches where his performance did not meet expectations, leading to his drop in the rankings.

Matheehsa Pathirana is one of the best bowlers in the shorter format and his performance in IPL 2024 proves it as he bagged 13 wickets in six matches in batting-friendly conditions of IPL. However, in the World Cup, he was struggling to take wickets as in three matches, he bagged just three scalps, two of which came against the Netherlands, and he went wicketless against South Africa. With the bat, he scored 44 runs in three innings, with his top score being 40 which came against the USA.

Cricket in uncharted territory as T20 World Cup starts in Texas

A former legendary cricketer who represented Pakistan in 90 Test matches, 288 ODIs, and three T20Is during his professional cricketing career was appointed as the team selector in March 2024, a few months before the International Cricket Council mega event T20 World Cup 2024. “The England men’s cricket team will arrive in the wee hours of 2 October,” the PCB said in a statement on Sunday. He said a pool of 150 players would be groomed under the a mentor (a former legend ofPakistan cricket) with each to look after a team comprising 30 cricketers including thenational team players.

The National Men’s U19 three-day Championship and One-Day Cup are set to begin on Tuesday, 10 September. The ground has a rich history, and it’s expected to be packed with fans cheering for both the Dolphins and the Lions. The conditions at Faisalabad will likely suit fast bowlers, but spinners could also play a crucial role. The Engro Dolphins are led by Saud Shakeel, a talented cricketer who has shown great leadership skills. The Dolphins have a mix of experienced players like Sarfaraz Ahmed (Mentor) and emerging talent, making them a formidable opponent. Defending champions have one of the best fast bowling units, with Shaheen (Captain), Rauf and Zaman leading the pack, while their spin department looks too fragile, especially due to the absence of their spin wizard, Rashid Khan, due to an injury.

Today’s Live Match: Dolphins vs Lions

This was unrequited which later proved in with Saim’s wicket, but overall Rizwan did manage to take it through. The USA bested the Pakistani team despite being a well-seasoned force in the super overs. With a target of 18, the team fell short in chasing it, showcasing their below-the-par capability in each department. Azam Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Usman Khan were unable to capitalize on loose deliveries and rotate the strike frequently. Evaluating the player lineup, in batting we had the duo of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan (linchpins to opening partnerships) along with Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, and “Ifti Chacha” aka Iftikhar Ahmed. Adding on, our pace attack was spearheaded by Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abbas Afridi, and Mohammad Amir (a wildcard entry).

Series

The news was confirmed by Muhammad Yousaf himself in a social media post on his Twitter account. As a batter, I have achieved decently and, as a captain, I have won a few series. So, the motivation, aspiration and dream remains to lift an ICC trophy and present it to Pakistan. Yet elsewhere there’s also some attention to detail that’s notably lacking, particularly in terms of hairstyles and signature accessories.

With a balanced lineup, they will rely on their all-rounders like Faheem Ashraf to contribute in both departments. The Dolphins are a well-rounded team with a balanced mix of batting and bowling. Players like Saud Shakeel, Sarfaraz Ahmed, and Qasim Akram provide the team with both stability and firepower. Their bowling lineup, led by Noman Ali and Faheem Ashraf, can challenge any batting order. Teams generally prefer to bat first at Iqbal Stadium, as the pitch tends to favor the batsmen in the early part of the game. Reviewing the past and looking to the future, we are confident to write a brilliant new chapter.

Mohammad Yousuf resigns as PCB selection committee member

His approach of maintaining faith in the current squad, managing workload sensibly, and creating a broader talent pool will be crucial as Pakistan navigates the tough road ahead in international cricket. The Lions, on the other hand, are heavily reliant on their fast bowling attack led by Shaheen Shah Afridi. Their batting lineup is equally strong, with players like Imam-ul-Haq and Khushdil Shah providing solid performances.

Politics in sport diagnosed as Pakistan cricket’s problem

He does own a G-wagon and many other luxury vehicles, such as an S-class and Range Rover, but Urus is his mostly driven car. In 2020, the veteran pacer had announced his retirement and said that he was being “mentally tortured” by the PCB management. The cricketer was referring to the infamous scandal in 2010 when he was implicated in allegations of spot-fixing for bowling two deliberate no-balls in return for payment as part of a betting scam in the Lord’s Test against England.

The increasing number of T20 leagues around the world, stagnant players’ salaries in PSL, and the rise of the Indian Premier League (IPL), contributed to the fall of PSL as a brand. The Nurpur Lions, captained by the fast-bowling sensation Shaheen Shah Afridi, are one of the strongest teams in the tournament. With Waqar Younis as their mentor, the Lions have an excellent coaching setup that helps their players excel in both bowling and batting. Jason Gillespie’s first few months as head coach have been a learning experience, filled with challenges but also with a sense of hope.

The sunshine has yet to come.” Yes, Pakistan’s best days are ahead, China will stand with Pakistan firmly all the way.

While our team was searching for information about his car on the internet, we came across an India Today article about Rishabh Pant’s accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. The car’s fuel tank leaked, and the spilled fuel caught fire, eventually spreading throughout the vehicle.

While other players were choosing a G-wagon or Range Rover, Rohit chose a Lamborghini Urus, the fastest production SUV in the world with 675 BHP and a 4.0L V8 twin-turbo.

Peshawar Zalmi has the most explosive batting unit, as Babar Azam-led Zalmi has Muhammad Haris, Saim Ayub, Asif Ali, Tom Cohler Cadmore and Rowman Powell. The balance of Zalmi’s squad, especially the bowling department, has been greatly challenged by the withdrawal of their originally signed players like Lungi Ngidi, Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmed and Khurram Shehzad. Salam Irshad, Aamir Jamal, Mehran Mumtaz and Arif Yaqoob, the new spin sensation at the domestic level, will be at the helm of the bowling department, supported by Luke Wood, Waqar Salamkhel and Shmar Joseph from the foreign category. Zalmi batters have the capability to post big scores, but it will be a great challenge for the inexperienced bowling unit to defend totals in crunch games, which makes Zalmi less threatening in this PSL.

Meanwhile, against India, when Pakistan had the match in their grasp, the wicketkeeper lost his wicket to Jasprit Bumrah after contributing 31 runs and the Men in Green ended up losing the match. In total, Rizwan scored 110 runs in four innings at a 36.66 https://betproexchange.net/ average and a mediocre strike rate of 90.90. Babar Azam has been revered as a consistent force in the cricketing world. His exemplary performance cemented his position as one of the best openers Pakistan could ever have in its cricketing history.

The T20I World Cup 2024, scheduled to take place in the United States and the West Indies, has the International Cricket Council (ICC) nervous about how various nations would fare in this massive competition. India and South Africa made it to the semi-final without ever losing a match while England tasted a defeat against Australia in a group match. Looking at bowling stats, Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi occupy the top spot with India’s Arshdeep Singh.

Disastrous performances by the Pakistani team under the captaincy of Babar Azam against the USA and India follow this. Fans were reeling with anger with cricketing pundits oblivious as to how the team managed to hit rock bottom. Even the win against Canada and Ireland did not suffice, as the team was eliminated in the first stage of the World Cup.

Vaughan highlighted Afghanistan’s skilled players and the effective leadership of Rashid Khan, emphasizing that their impressive performances are becoming more expected rather than surprising. This format ensures that every match is critical, as teams need to perform consistently to secure a place in the playoffs and eventually the final. Former captain Nida Dar completed 2,000 T20I runs as Pakistan defeated South Africa by 13 runs to level the three-match T20I series 1-1 at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan on Wednesday evening. South Africa had beaten Pakistan by 10 runs in the first T20I on Monday evening at the same venue.

The conditions in West Indies supported spinners generally but not for Mitchell Santner. The Black Caps’ spinner struggled greatly, while his economy (5.56) was great, he couldn’t take wickets to give a breakthrough for his side. Against Afghanistan, the left-armer went wicketless while against the West Indies, he removed Akeal Hosein, who is not known for his batting. Nevertheless, there were still some flaws such as not availing the power play period to its maximum capacity (leaving it for late-order players to take the risk) which needed to be revised in the last game with Ireland. Despite the insufficient total, Aaron Johnson (Canadian batsman) played mighty by scoring 52 off 44 balls. Adding to this, the Pakistani opening partnership was shuffled again bringing in Saim Ayub to play with Rizwan, thus splitting the alliance with Babar.

The consecutive champions of the last two PSL seasons, Lahore Qalandars, will face difficulty in maintaining previous years’ performance. To be fair, you might assume that adding licensed Indian Premier League teams, the Pakistan Super League competition, and a handful of new national teams would be a boon for Cricket 24 of, well, David Boon proportions. It makes for a slightly less ideal way to experience one of the crowning jewels on the cricketing calendar. “We want to show our faith and backing to the incumbents, but if there are prolonged performances that need improvement, we will look at things. This tournament has shown just how much talent there is in Pakistan cricket,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to be in Darwin with the Pakistan Shaheens, which was a great experience to get to know some of the guys playing underneath the test side.
