With several debutants and inexperienced players in Pakistan's Test side, the responsibility falls on senior batters Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel and Salman Ali Agha. Sri Lanka's experienced players capitalised on their opportunities and converted starts into substantial scores. Saud Shakeel, in particular, had the form and opportunity to score much more, but Pakistan's struggles cannot be blamed on the senior players alone: Faizan Riaz, First-class Cricketer

Rawalpindi's pitch offers opportunities for both batters and bowlers, but Pakistan's batters threw away their wickets after crossing fifty. Sri Lanka's Dhananjaya and Kusal Mendis capitalised on the inexperience of Pakistan's young fast bowlers, while Mohammad Abbas created chances through his disciplined line and length: Faizan Riaz, First-class Cricketer

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is a businessman whose priority is profit. Manchester United's ownership has been more concerned with financial returns, debts and profit margins than performances on the pitch. This mentality has pushed consistency and footballing success into the background, contributing to United's struggles over the past few years: Juan Arango , US-based sports journalist

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Omar Berrada have failed to deliver at Manchester United. Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino is increasingly expected to leave his current role, although United have not yet contacted U.S. Soccer. The club would have to pay around $10 million in compensation to release him from his contract: Juan Arango, US-based sports journalist

COP31 is being described as the COP of implementation, but these COPs have been full of empty words and promises. Richer countries have been particularly good at making pledges, but promises do not cut emissions. Action does, and that action has been missing: Prof. Adil Najam, Boston University

After a nine-month pause, negotiations have resumed in Abu Dhabi, with discussions expanding beyond humanitarian and tactical issues to the future of European security. Europeans must eventually be brought to the negotiating table. Meanwhile, Ukraine and its European supporters may wait for the new US Congress, which could increase support for Ukraine and push President Trump to impose additional sanctions on Russia: Andrey Kortunov, Russian International Affairs Council

The Paris Agreement was built on the principle that developed countries contributed more to climate change, while developing countries bear the greatest burden of its consequences. Under the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, countries responsible for greater environmental damage must compensate or support those most affected: Jorge Gastelumendi, Director, Atlantic Council

Pakistan is officially a mediator. The Islamabad MoU was signed by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif alongside President Trump and President Pezeshkian. Both sides concluded that Pakistan understands the Middle East. That understanding earned Pakistan its mediation role and raised its geopolitical profile: Parvin Sawhney, Indian Defence and Strategic Affairs Analyst

The world is undergoing a once-in-a-century change. It became multipolar in 2013 and now has three great powers: the United States, China and Russia. These countries have the strategic autonomy to create institutions such as BRICS and the SCO. Middle powers have to pursue their national interests through institutions created by the major powers. Russia and China’s vision for a new world order is based on collective security and partnership: Parvin Sawhney, Indian Defence and Strategic Affairs Analyst

I do think trust is important. I do think Iran appreciates Pakistan’s role in bringing Iranian and US officials together in Islamabad for their highest-level meeting since the 1979 revolution. Pakistan played an important role in securing the first ceasefire agreement and has helped keep the door open for talks. Saudi Arabia and Turkiye have also appreciated Pakistan’s role: Vali Nasr, Professor of International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins University SAIS

Iran believes the war showed the United States that it would withstand military pressure and could no longer be boxed in. Its control of the Strait of Hormuz and the damage it inflicted on US bases have changed Washington’s military calculations and led Gulf states to question whether they can still count on US security guarantees: Vali Nasr, Professor of International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins University SAIS

Iran and the United States are both very good at calibrating escalation, deliberately escalating up to a certain point. Iran has had a very strong hand. The bigger issue is freedom of navigation worldwide. If Iran can collect duties from ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, others around the world may follow suit. Freedom of navigation at sea has been a basis of the global economy: Tom Armbruster, former US ambassador

Pakistan has stayed diplomatically involved for a long time. It brokered the first ceasefire. Pakistan is an honest broker that understands Iran and can talk to both Iran and the United States, which have had difficulty trusting each other and communicating: Tom Armbruster, former US ambassador

"The disaster in Nepal has brought home why an agreement to cut emissions is imperative. If major emitters don’t sit down now and act on the pledges they made at earlier COP summits, when will they? Without action to curb emissions, what good are these talks?"—Afia Salam, Environmental journalist

Federal Minister for Law and Justice Azam Nazeer Tarar, speaking to Pakistan TV at Margalla Dialogue 2026, said India is weaponising water and violating Pakistan’s lower riparian rights. He said the Court of Arbitration had upheld the continued validity of the Indus Waters Treaty and stressed the need for stronger diplomatic and legal engagement to raise international awareness. Tarar warned that leaving the dispute unresolved could have disastrous consequences for a region home to two nuclear powers.
