Jay Shah would have to resign as the ACC chairman, having taken up the ICC job. Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), created history when he was elected as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council. The identity of Shah's replacement as the head of the Asian Cricket Council is becoming more and more of a topic of conversation within the Indian board. Shah will need to step down from both his position as chairman of the ACC and his position as secretary of the BCCI when he accepts the ICC position.  Mohsin Naqvi, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, is reportedly in the lead to become the next ACC president. Naqvi is expected to succeed Shah as the new ACC chief, according to a report in the news agency PTI. The official announcement of the appointment is expected to occur later this year. "When the ACC meets later this year, it will confirm that Naqvi will be the next president for a two-year term," a source told ...

Mohammad Wasim, a former chief selector for Pakistan, has shared his insights on Babar Azam. He claimed that Babar was incredibly obstinate and unreceptive to change. Making him see the benefits of the adjustments was excruciating. He was really obstinate, and I went above and above what was appropriate to get him to support several calls. He stated on Samaa TV that he was not prepared to accept reforms. The conflicts between the players and the team administration were brought to light by Wasim's remarks. Babar's status as the white-ball captain is in doubt following Pakistan's elimination from the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in the group round. Wasim has accused Imad Wasim of concealing a knee ailment in the USA and the West Indies during the global competition.  "Imad has been concealing a knee problem for years. We frequently discuss Azam Khan's level of fitness, but Imad has the same issue. For the same reason, he was dropped from the side, and I also let him g...

 Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif shared his opinions after Jay Shah was named chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).  The 55-year-old speculated that India's participation in the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy, which is set to take place in Pakistan, would result from these unopposed elections that chose Shah to be the head of the ICC.  In this regard, the former wicketkeeper batter made a clue about the basis of his presumption in an exclusive interview with The Sporting News. "There is no reason why PCB has objected to Shah's nomination. There seems to be a mutual understanding.  The Sporting News cited Latif as stating, "If India's team makes it, it will be thanks to Jay Shah's efforts and support from their government."  "Approval has been partially granted already. Latif said, expressing his faith in Shah, "India is coming to Pakistan." Five years after Shah assumed the top position at the BCCI, he was elected wi...

The Pakistan Cricket Board has expanded their playing roster by three players for the August 30 second Test match against Bangladesh. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has made changes to their playing roster for the August 30 start date of the second Test match against Bangladesh. At Rawalpindi Stadium in Rawalpindi, Shan Masood & Co. lost the first Test match against the visitors by a margin of 10 wickets. All of Pakistan's pacers started the first Test match, despite the fact that spinners claimed more wickets than pacers due to the pitch's supposed benefits for them. Abrar Ahmed and Kamran Ghulam, who were released prior to the first Test, have now been restored to the squad by the PCB. In addition to them, Shaheen Shah Afridi, who left the team following the first Test match in order to spend time with his infant, has returned to the team for the second Test match.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has revealed a novel AI-powered method for player selection. Pakistan's cricket board has chosen a novel method of talent acquisition, seeing how its performance graph declines with each series that goes by. Chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mohsin Naqvi, has disclosed that artificial intelligence is largely used in the process of choosing players from the nation's local pool. The PCB is the first board to publicly acknowledge using AI for player selection, despite the fact that its usage is becoming more and more common in the fields of information technology, e-commerce, and several other industries. Naqvi addressed the media during a press conference regarding the men's national team's poor results, particularly in the wake of their most recent home loss to Bangladesh. Not much has changed since Naqvi's infamous statement for the necessity of surgery following Pakistan's early elimination from the T20 World Cup in 2024. ...

Rashid Latif, a former cricket player, has expressed alarm over Pakistan's fast-bowling attack's diminishing pace and has linked the team's recent problems—including a record loss to Bangladesh in Rawalpindi—to this notable slowdown.   Latif noted that Pakistan's best fast bowlers used to be their strongest suit, but their pace has significantly declined, which has affected their effectiveness. A while back, it was unimaginable to lose to teams like Bangladesh. The loss in Rawalpindi was primarily due to our bowlers' inability to bowl at a fast tempo, Rashid stated in a Cricbuzz interview. He emphasized that bowlers who bowled at 145 kmph at first, including Khurram Shahzad, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Afridi, now bowl at about 130 kmph. Rashid chastised the support staff for not keeping up with the bowlers' speed and questioned if injuries are being covered up. Rashid also criticized Pakistan's strategies, especially their choice to end their first innings at...
