This is the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Cup.
This was the World Cup everyone claimed Qatar couldn't pull off, but they ended up hosting arguably the best, most organised World Cup in recent memory.
The Quran recitation and the calm atmosphere gave it a unique feel never seen before.
Now, we wait to see what the upcoming tournament in North America will bring.
The bar has been set incredibly high, and it is going to take a lot more than the usual American corporate and media hype to match this level of soul and standard.
🚨Horrible coaching by Mike Hesson...!!!
ANOTHER GROUP STAGE EXIT IS COMING...!!! 💔
Just two days ago, when people started raising concerns about the spin-friendly track, Mike Hesson who has never played any international cricket himself came out to defend it, saying there would be similar spinning tracks in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Instead of admitting the mistake, he kept defending it.
After seeing today's pitch, it feels like Pakistan are already out of the 2027 World Cup. There is absolutely no shame in this. Even if spinning tracks are expected, are they supposed to be this poor? Is the ICC crazy enough to allow such third-class pitches in international cricket?
The ball is staying so low that it looks like someone is pulling it down from underneath. This is simply not acceptable for international cricket.
Remove this man, otherwise Pakistan cricket is heading towards disaster...!!!
Alhamdulillah, CHAMPIONS 🏆
So proud of my team, we stood together through everything. Hard work never goes unnoticed.
I was once a ball picker, standing on the sidelines, dreaming of moments like this. Now I wish, If even one ball picker today picks up a bat tomorrow believing they can become a cricketer, then THIS VICTORY MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME.
Grateful to my family, Zalmi management, and my friends for always being in my corner, no matter what 💛
Two ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz and arrived at Karachi Port.
Al Jazeera’s @osamabinjavaid reports that Pakistan has secured 18 other ships to pass through the Strait, as local officials are optimistic the energy crisis could soon come to an end.
In Shoaib Jatt’s world,
every news bends one way
towards blaming Babar Azam… for everything.
Different reporters have different beats.
Jatt’s beat? Finding new ways to blame Babar Azam.
