This may land me in hot water but I owe an honest assessment to Pakistan cricket. I was a fan before I was a stakeholder.

Things I’ve observed from my playing days + actively being involved with the PSL, dressing room and PCB leadership:

- The players may or may not be comfortable.
A. Late nights and junk food are common. Now I understand living on hotel food and being stuck for 6 weeks is tough, but the word “professional” has to mean something.
B. No one wants to do the tough yards. It’s a mentality thing. Like for instance a few times in the test match after a long spell the pace bowlers didn’t run after the ball. What are you saving your legs for? The test match ended in 2.5 days…
C. Compare the test match pace and white ball pace of seamers. They are so scared of being injured and losing their T20 gigs. You have to train to bowl fast to be able to bowl fast. And fast bowling is painful.

- The journalists may or may not be cancerous tumour
A. The growth of Sports Journalism was great as it brought us closer to the team, inner workings, selection and the injustices around Pakistan cricket but like any other avenue in our country, the bad eggs took over and they also corrupted the good eggs.
B. Journalists all pushing their own agendas,
And they build narratives on who they like / who caters for them more I.e these things may or may not be leaks , gifts, favours. Most if not all may or may not be comprised.
C. They may or may not be loyal to Pakistan. It’s only about their views, content, income.
D. They may or may not be the scummiest of all stakeholders.

- Former players may or may not be too comfortable.
A. Barring a few who actually worked and got their coaching badges and qualifications most find it more comfortable to go on tv and just iterate the problems. No one presents the solutions nor goes out there and gets the experience / qualifications to contribute. They all may or may not want things on a platter , without doing the hard yards to become better coaches / tacticians , the same hard work that actually made them so good at cricket in the first place

- job first, Pakistan later
A. The board is too bureaucratic. Everyone fears to speak their mind because they worry about backlash and their jobs. There are people that genuinely wanted to help , but when they see their efforts go no where they stop trying and just settle for their paycheck.
B. The chairman is not the problem. The reliance for decision making in the board on the role may be but in this case other avenues and roles the current chair he’s shown his leadership skills, it’s solely cricket where the results cannot be seen. Why is that? In my experience a good leader needs good advisors.

- PSL owners are not incentivised to grow the teams
A. 10 year lease, you grow the brand, only to give it back to the PCB. So why would you grow if you see none of the benefit? Only the bills.
B. You invest in players and talent hunts only to lose them due to retention rules and category changes that are agenda driven.

The language may or may not have been altered for legal purposes.

Pakistan cricket will always be in my heart. Pray for us to go back to being the best. Not just good or competitive, but the best.

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.

We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.

With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

This is mindblowing

[Mazher Arshad @MazherArshad]

Babar Azam scored 52% of his runs through running between the wickets. That's the highest share of singles, twos and threes in a 100+ runs innings in any franchise T20 league worldwide.

[Mazher Arshad @MazherArshad]

Babar Azam played just one dot ball in his 52-ball innings tonight. In the ball-by-ball database which has over 3,000 innings of 50 or more balls in T20s all over the world, no batter has ever had as few as one dot ball.

🇵🇰🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Pakistan found out Israel was about to kill the 2 Iranian guys the U.S. was literally in the middle of talking to.

Trump told Israel don't do it.

Then bombs dropped right next to the Pakistani ambassador's building in Iran.

Pakistani intelligence got word that Israel was planning to take out Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the 2 officials the U.S. was actively doing nuclear talks with. Pakistan took it straight to the top. Trump told Israel to back off.

Then not long after, Israeli strikes hit buildings in Iran right next to where the Pakistani diplomats are staying.

No one is calling it intentional. But come on. That is a lot to call a coincidence.

Trump said leave my guys alone. And Israel may have gone after the people who snitched instead.

What kind of alliance is that?
