🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Chelsea statement on Enzo Maresca.
“Chelsea FC appreciates the 2025/26 season was a hugely disappointing one for the Club and its supporters. A major contributing factor was the disruption caused as a result of changes that the Club was forced to make to the Head Coach position over the Christmas period”.
“Due to recent developments, we consider that it is important to explain to our supporters what happened and why our former Head Coach left the Club on 1 January 2026”.
“In Autumn last year, the Club was informed by our former Head Coach that there might be an opportunity for him to succeed Pep Guardiola at the end of the season”.
“It became clear to us that it was his strong desire to succeed Guardiola and that he was fully committed to pursuing the opportunity, despite the fact he was under a long-term contract which he had no right to terminate”.
“In December 2025, our Head Coach unexpectedly and abruptly resigned from his position. Obviously, we felt let down as we believed that his head and heart were focused on another club and another opportunity, despite having just arrived at Chelsea the year before”.
“No club wants to change its head coach midway through a season. However, in light of his decision not to continue fulfilling his responsibilities through to the end of the season, the Club was left with no choice but to protect our players, our supporters, and the Badge and accept his resignation”.
“In the circumstances and given the mutual respect between clubs, a confidential settlement has been reached with Manchester City, which includes the payment of compensation. A confidential settlement has also been reached with the former Head Coach under which he will pay compensation”.
I can't quite believe this. Q was an absolute legend and, in the best way, a fixture in Pakistan cricket. It will not be the same without him now. Go well Q.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
اس گاڑی میں ساٹھ سے زائد گولیوں کے سوراخ ہیں، ان میں سے ایک گولی اُس دس سالہ بچی کو موت کی وادی میں لے گئی جسکے چکوال سے آئے خاندان کو پہلے ڈاکوؤں نے لوٹا اور پھر محافظوں نے گولیاں مار دیں۔ بتایا جاتا ھیکہ یہ فائرنگ پنجاب کی بدنامِ زمانہ اور بھٹو دور کی فیڈرل سیکیورٹی فورس (ایف ایس ایف) کی ہم پلہ کرائم کنٹرول ڈیپارٹمنٹ (سی سی ڈی) پنجاب کے اہلکاروں نے کی ہے۔
اس سے پہلے ۲۰۱۹ میں ساہیوال کے قریب پنجاب کی انسدادِ دھشت گردی کے محکمے سی ٹی ڈی کے اہلکاروں نے ایک گاڑی پر فائرنگ کر کے ایک سبزی فروش، اسکی اہلیہ، بچی اور ایک جاننے والے کو قتل کر دیا تھا, لاہور کی ہی ایک انسدادِ دھشت گردی کی عدالت نے شک کا فائدہ دیکر پولیس ملزمان کو بری کر دیا تھا۔
سی ٹی ڈی کے سربراہ کو اس گاڑی اور قتل ہونے والی بچی کی تصویر اپنے دفتر میں ایک یاددھانی کے طور پر آویزاں کر دینی چاہئیے تاکہ اپنے زیر حراست اصلی ملزمان کیخلاف بھی جعلی پُلس مقابلے کی منصوبہ کرتے وقت یاد رہے کہ غلطی کے اسی امکان کے باعث ہی مہذب ملکوں میں عدالتیں بنائی جاتی ہیں۔
Wishing good luck to our national women’s team for #T20WorldCup. Pakistan ka parcham apke haath me aur qoum ki duayen apke sath hain. Go make us proud.
Pakistan, it’s time to #BackOurGirls. 🇵🇰
آسٹریلیا کے خلاف ڈیبیو ٹیسٹ میچ میں 6 وکٹیں، اپنے دوسرے ہی ون ڈے میں زمبابوے کے خلاف 5 وکٹیں، مگر اس باصلاحیت نوجوان کو صرف 9 انٹرنیشنل میچوں کے بعد ٹیم سے باہر کر دیا گیا۔
رائٹ آرم لیگ اسپنر، سیالکوٹ کی سرزمین سے تعلق رکھنے والا یہ کھلاڑی اپنی صلاحیتوں کے باوجود وہ مواقع حاصل نہ کر سکا جس کا وہ حق دار تھا۔ نیشنل ٹی 20 میں سیالکوٹ ریجن کی کپتانی بھی کی، لیکن قسمت نے اس کا ساتھ نہ دیا۔
پاکستان کرکٹ میں ایسے کئی باصلاحیت کھلاڑی آئے جنہیں اپنی صلاحیتیں ثابت کرنے کا بھرپور موقع ہی نہ مل سکا، اور یہ نام بھی انہی میں شامل ہے۔
جو جو اس کھلاڑی کو جانتا ہے، کمنٹ میں اس کا نام ضرور لکھے۔

Shadab Khan getting all this hate after getting selected which in someway is justified but what if this turns out to be a master stroke by the selection committee..He adds balance to this team and if he can bowl with the control that he has shown in PSL it might be beneficial.
Told you...Had a feeling that Shadab might just make a strong comeback..Pakistan white ball cricket needs an in form Shadab..Brings balance to the side.A gun fielder on top of that...💯💯...
Exactly 💯...But our fans don't have any patience..We don't let our players breathe..The way this nation has dealt with Babar Azam is a glaring example.The best batsman Pak produced, so forget the rest. This burden lies equally on the fans as well who get blinded in their hatred.
This is exactly the issue which Hanif Malik, now former Pakistan batting coach, had highlighted when I interviewed him during the PSL. Pakistan want to win EVERY bilateral series, instead of building something sustainable and long-term.

Can't defend this..Although the home team gets the advantage but these pitches through out have been utterly disappointing..We need to back our batters and create good supporting pitches..Such pitches don't help anyone's cause..
Cricket was born in England and can be seen dying in Pakistan by Sir don Mike Hesson.
- Above 6° turn consistently in an ODI game is not acceptable at all. 🤷♂️
This wasn't even Australia's B team in terms of batting..Only Mitch Marsh & Travis head missed out..Ellis & Zampa have been regulars for Aus in white ball cricket..
For us Saim & Fakhar walk back in..Middle-order looks thin..Bowling more or less remains the same..
Not agree with most of his opinions but he is right here..No way have these pitches been an ideal way to start our preparations for the upcoming WC...However the management feels that winning is more important...

According to multiple reports, several major private hospitals in cities like Lahore are either not paying postgraduate trainees at all or paying them as little as PKR 40,000 per month, despite explicit CPSP directives against unpaid training. If the reports regarding Atif Memorial Teaching Hospital are accurate, they are deeply concerning and deserve immediate investigation.
What makes this even more troubling is that some of these institutions belong to groups that operate highly profitable hospitals, where patients are charged substantial fees for admission and treatment. The obvious question is: why is action not being taken? Are regulations only enforced for some while others remain untouchable because of influence and connections?
Credit to Dr. Salman Kazmi for consistently using his platform to highlight the struggles of young doctors. Unfortunately, many doctor influencers remain silent on issues that matter most to trainees and junior physicians, while some are themselves accused of underpaying medical officers in their private setups.
Young doctors are the backbone of Pakistan's healthcare system. They work exhausting hours, carry immense responsibility, and deserve fair pay, dignity, and respect, not exploitation.
The relevant authorities, CPSP, PMDC, and health departments must investigate these reports and ensure that every trainee receives the compensation and protections they are entitled to.
This culture of exploitation must end.
#PayRaiseForDoctors #Pakistan
Batted well today..Shaddy is a utility player..Pakistan so desperately need Shadab the bowler back,adds so much balance to our side...
Good knock today..💯💯
Shadab Khan performed with the bat that was the only silver lining..Babar failed & our batting has collapsed again..Farhan & Maaz have failed to grab this opportunity to open since that Bang tour..Fell into our own trap..Aussies bounced back..
1-1 with a series decider on Thu..
7.5 degrees of turn for Arafat Minhas on this pitch...
Pakistan have really gone all out in preparing these tracks against an understrength Australian team..Batting wickets is what ICC will be preparing come the WC 2027..Better wickets needed for atleast ODI cricket...
