دھوم دھڑکا ساتھ لیے کیوں پھرتا ہے جنگل جنگل
اک تنکا ساتھ نہ جاوے گا موقوف ہوا جب اَن اور جل
گھر بار اٹاری چوپاری کیا خاصا نین سکھ اور ململ
چِلوَن پردے فرش نئے کیا لال پلنگ اور رنگ محل
سب ٹھاٹھ پڑا رہ جاوے گا جب لاد چلے گا بنجارا۔۔۔
کچھ کام نہ آوے گا تیرے یہ لعل و زمرد سیم و زر
جب پونجی باٹ میں بکھرے گی ہر آن بنے گی جان اوپر
نوبت نقارے بان نشان دولت حشمت فوجیں لشکر
کیا مسند تکیہ ملک مکاں کیا چوکی کرسی تخت چھتر
سب ٹھاٹھ پڑا رہ جاوے گا جب لاد چلے گا بنجارا
( نظیر اکبر آبادی )
اج دا دن وی ایویں ای لنگھیا
کوئی وی کم نہ ہویا
پورب ولوں چڑھیا سورج
پچھم آن کھلویا
نہ ملیا میں خلقت نوں
نہ میں یاد خدا نوں کیتا
نہ میں پڑھی نماز
نہ میں جام شراب دا پیتا
خوشی نہ غم کوئی کول نہ آیا
نہ ہسیا نہ رویا
اج دا دن وی ایویں ای لنگھیا

The recent decision by the authorities to recall players and coaching staff from the ongoing tour does not appear to be only performance related. After all, we are not sending legends like Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad, Inzamam‑ul‑Haq, or Saeed Anwar as replacements. Instead, this move reflects the familiar cycle of internal chaos, differences of opinion, and controversies that have long haunted Pakistan cricket. Since the glory of the 1992 World Cup, such turbulence has resurfaced time and again, eroding stability and distracting from the game itself.
We have endured such turmoil in different forms many times before, each episode leaving scars on the team’s progress and the fans’ faith.
The lesson is clear! only strong performances and consistent positive results can silence the noise. Pakistan cricket must focus on the field, not the boardroom, if it is to restore credibility and inspire confidence among fans. Success remains the most effective antidote.
The players dropped from the squad are still our national cricketers who have served Pakistan. Phrases like "sent on the first flight back" are disrespectful.
Accountability should start with those who broke the system, not with players specially those who were on the bench or have played 2-3 test matches. Plus accountability starts once a tour is done not in the middle of it.
Players should not be going through such mental stress and a social media after every bad game or the fear of failure will settle in the minds of our players.
Trust Pakistan cricket to do the unbelievable. Salman Agha, captain in the first test, dropped from the second, sent home before the third! Coach and bowling coach gone midway through a series. Senior keeper sent home. Replacements hoping to get visas in time, let alone be ready for a test match. As always, more action off the field!
