The did fine in Test
Yea lost the first ODI recently despite having the likes of Hurraria, Ayub, Talat, Haseebullah. Pretty disappointed with this.

Yep tests they were fine and i had no doubt about their abilities.

So I was at a local net session in Birmingham and who walks in? Mir Hamza. Had a chat then watched him practice. The way these guys so effortlessly generate pace and swing is amazing. And he is a lot taller than he looks.

I told him when he was younger, I wanted him to be picked for the National side. His response was unfortunately some things are not in their control. We discussed the upcoming SL series and flat tracks. His response was that pitches do not matter to players at Int’l level. What matters is how you perform. He wilo be representing Warwickshire in a 4 day match this week.

The schedule post 2024 WC is absolutely insane. Lots of Tests & ODI's but disappointing schedule prior. I get having enough T20's scheduled for the WC but did we really need to postpone WI Tests for 5 T20's in NZ when there is PSL and a bunch of T20's already scheduled after that.
I think it was completely stupid to have delayed the tests, it just goes to show how much Pak care about test cricket.

Just bumped into Saqlain Mushtaq in London.

Had a quick chat, reminded him of his glory youngster beauty doosra days, started laughing.

I think its time for me to invest in some CT merch... and send it to you guys to force these celebs next time you bump into to wear them just for a quick photo 😶‍🌫️

Not too long ago Rehan ul Haq and Hasan Cheema parted ways with IU after years of being the brains behind the franchise. Today, Haider Azhar has parted ways with Multan Sultans. He was considered the brain behind that operation.

Interesting season coming up for PSL.

Looks like Pakistan Shaheen's are touring Australia for some matches.

Pakistan Shaheens squad:

Rohail Nazir (captain), Aaliyan Mahmood, Ali Asfand, Amir Hassan, Arafat Minhas, Azan Awais, Basit Ali, Faisal Akram, Mohammad Imran, Sajjad Ali, Mohammad Irfan Khan, Shamyl Hussain, Shawaiz Irfan, Syed Zeeshan Zameer and Wahaj Riaz

Schedule of Pakistan Shaheens’ matches:

  • 30 Jul – vs NT Strike (T20)
  • 31 Jul – vs ACT Comets (T20)
  • 1 Aug – vs Melbourne Renegades (T20)
  • 2 Aug – vs Melbourne Stars (T20)
  • 4 Aug – vs PNG (T20)
  • 6 Aug – Final
  • 8 Aug – vs PNG (50-over)
  • 9 Aug – vs NT Strike (50-over)

Good to see some PJL standouts like Basit Ali, Arafar Minhas, Shawaiz, Shamyl. Zeeshan all in the squad to get some experience in these conditions. Wish they scheduled some FC matches too but this is a good start.

Hope they schedule some FC matches for the A team before the national team goes there so players who aren't playing in the WC can get used to Australian conditions prior. Players like Abdullah/Saud/Faheem/Abrar etc aren't going to be in the ODI squad so it would make sense to have them playing some matches there beforehand.

The picturesque city of Hambantota, located in Sri Lanka, is set to host Afghanistan’s three-match home ODI series against Pakistan, according to a media report.

The selection of Sri Lanka as the venue was made with the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 in mind, which is set to take place from August 30 to September 17 and will be jointly held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

While the official schedule for the series is yet to be released, the three matches are expected to take place in the third week of August.

President of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Shammi Silva, during a press conference on Tuesday, also confirmed that they are in contact with Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) regarding the aforementioned series.


Would be great if this series takes place in Sri Lanka. Would hope they do it a bit earlier in August though as Pakistan will need come back to play Nepal in Pakistan which is on August 30.

Can someone please share the following "Bowling Basics" article with Rumman Raees:

The line is the direction of the ball in accordance to the batsman's stumps, while the length is the area of the pitch where the ball bounces.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cri...e is the direction,chances of taking a wicket.

He did the same for the Bangladesh League as well IIRC. I'd have been surprised if he didn't do this lol.
