PCB has invited cricket fans to design the new kit Pakistan Cricket Team for 2022-2023. That is quite exciting as the fans will have an opportunity to show their love for cricket. It is just not restricted to the fans in Pakistan, but across the world. So the artists and fans get ready to share their designs online.
He was born in Birmingham, but he did not play for England. He got selected in 1998 for Australia. The Australian Team is lucky enough to have legendary players in all formats. He was an ultimate all-rounder, a fearsome striker of a cricket ball, and a great fielder. He played for Australia from 1998 to 2009. He played 26 tests and 198 ODIs. He was two time World Cup winner in 2003 and 2007. He was also a key member of the test side.
Pakistan has been improving its ranking over the past 1 year. In the latest ranking shared by ICC, Pakistan has replaced England in ODIs. Pakistan with 93 points has taken away England’s spot which has 88 points at the moment. It has retained its position at number 5 in Test rankings as well.
PCB has recently launched the Pathway Cricket Programme, of which the Junior League is a part. In this, PCB and its strategic partners which include BRB Group and Engro Corporation have agreed to provide the best facilities to the chosen 100 players. I will give them Rs. 30,000 as a monthly stipend along with free cricket equipment, coaches, and world-class institutions.
According to Shahid Afridi, international players will also be part of this tournament. “Mega Star League is an entertaining league, which is scheduled to be played in Rawalpindi this year. The idea behind introducing this league is to financially support the ex-cricketers, athletes, and sports journalists. The MSL will feature six teams, and foreign players will also take part in the upcoming league.”
Ehsan Mazari, Federal Minister for Inter-Provincial Communication, said that they will revive the departmental cricket system. It will accommodate the players and officials as the regional cricket had limited the employment opportunities. Abandoning domestic cricket was met with criticism as many players, coaches, and even ground staff lost their jobs within their respective departments and clubs.
Steve Snell, Performance Director at Gloucestershire Cricket, said, “Amir fits the bill perfectly for what we need and we’re confident he will be a great addition to the squad for those three matches. He has indicated his hunger and desire to make pivotal contributions during his time with us and we look forward to making him feel welcome in Bristol with Gloucestershire.”
Scoring 478 runs at an average of 39.83 in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) this year has made him a reliable batter for the national side. He was definitely the star of the season so far. He scored a magnificent double-century (239), in his class debut against Sussex. This is the highest score by a Pakistani Batter in county cricket.
“I am thrilled and excited that after days of hard work and planning, we have today released the Expression of Interest document for the Pakistan Junior League, the first-ever international league of its kind in the world. The PCB will create an environment of brilliance with legends and icons of the game sitting in player dug-outs in the roles of mentors and coaches, and broadcast coverage from the top draw.”
Now this is just friendly banter, and this just shows the power of PSL. Everyone wants to play; everyone wants to a part of it – and we hope that everyone can shine.
“Babar Azam wins this award not only because of his significant glut of runs scored during the Pakistan v Australia tour, but he was also able to transition success with the bat across formats, from the Test Series into ODIs. Significantly, him being able to fulfill the burden of expectation as a captain and batsman for Pakistan being host to an Australian team visiting after 24 years is a monumental achievement.”
From Pakistan, only Babar could make 66. Nathan Ellis took 4 wickets for 28 runs along with Cameron Green, who took 2 wickets for 16 runs. The Australian side was also not very stable as they had to lose 7 wickets to reach the target of 162. Shaheen Afridi, Usman Qadir, and Muhammad Wasim took 2 wickets each.
