Pakistan selection committees’ announcements and public criticism have always gone side by side. Perhaps, it is more fitting to say that the former hardly gives a chance to the latter to not wag the tongues. PCB selection committee, headed by Iqbal Qasim, recently [on Thursday] announced Pakistan’s squads for Test, ODI and Twenty20I series to be played against Sri [...]

It happened about 35 years ago and changed the game forever. The world of cricket owes a huge debt to Kerr y Packer for launching the World Series Cricket. He brought the yet unknown elements like loads of money and fan-fare to bring the excitement back in the game. Then, in 2008, Indian Premier League [...]

They were only four years old [in Test cricket] but they managed what no other cricket playing nation had ever done. They beat the English in their first test series on their own soil. Pakistan has witnessed several magical moments in its cricket history (who could forget the unbelievable six by Javed Miandad in Sharjah?), [...]

Cricket doesn’t go better without encounters between Pakistan and India, the game’s most ferocious rivals. When India and Pakistan lock horns: emotions, nerves, adrenaline(s), patriotism, they all get wired up as the duo boast the most complete rivalry of the game.

260s are the targets which got to be chased in One Day Internationals particularly when they are played in subcontinent-esque conditions. Pakistan were humbled 130 all out in pursuit of target of 261 set by England in 1st ODI of four-Match series at Abu Dhabi. Their bowlers, spinners in particular, did not perform that bad. [...]
