  • ‘Selfishness, treachery of English cricket’, Peter Oborne schools ECB after Pak win

    ‘Selfishness, treachery of English cricket’, Peter Oborne schools ECB after Pak win

    English author and journalist Peter Oborne, who is very vocal about the mistreatment of Pakistan cricket by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and other cricket boards, has schooled the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after they made a joke on their Twitter account about India and Pakistan match.

    “Not your typical Monday morning! How are you feeling in one word,” ECB posted on Twitter with a smiling face.

    Replying to the English board, Peter wrote: “I am thinking Pakistan pulled off their great victory last night despite their preparation schedule being cruelly disrupted by the selfishness and treachery of English cricket.”

    Earlier, the English author had assailed the English Board for calling off their tour of Pakistan, terming the decision “a kick in the teeth” of Pakistan, to whom English cricket owed a great deal.

    New Zealand also abandoned their tour minutes before the opening fixture in Rawalpindi following a “security alert” from their government.

    The England men’s and women’s teams were each scheduled to play two Twenty20 international matches on October 13 and 14 in Rawalpindi, with the women’s side due to stay on for a three-match One-day International series from Oct 17-21.

    The historic trip would have been the first ever by an England women’s team and the first by their male counterparts since 2005.

    Video: Indian ‘Mauka Mauka’ ads you might have missed

    As Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, cricket fans from all over the world, celebrated the victory of the Green Shirts. Indian ad agencies, who made demeaning advertisements about Pakistan and the Pakistan cricket team were thwarted in attaining their goals.

    These ads will make you laugh after Pakistan’s historic win against India and did not give them the ‘Mauqa’ they were expecting and so sure of.

    In one of the ads, they are trying to show that Pakistan takes help from the Afghan Talibans to fight for Kashmir while the Taliban demand money. Pakistan is shown as a beggar country which only works on loans. They are also trying to show that it is Pakistan’s dream to beat India in World Cup as they always lost every match in the mega event. Take a look:

    In another episode of the same ad series, they have pictured Pakistan as someone who shows off but is surviving on China’s money. They show a Pakistani exporting donkeys to China while India has exported donkeys to Pakistan 75 years ago, who lost five matches from India in the World Cup.

    A YouTuber, Adeel Abbas has also made a compilation of the reactions of Indian fans and media before and after the match.

    Meanwhile, Pakistan crushed India by its comprehensive win of 10 wickets and the highest opening stand in the history of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

    Indian bowlers were unable to take Babar Azam (68 not out) and Mohammad Rizwan’s (79 not out) wicket for their team.

    Shaheen Shah Afridi sent three Indian openers to the pavilion, taking KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s wickets. For his performance, Afridi bagged Player of the match award.

  • Jam Kamal Khan resigns as Balochistan chief minister

    Jam Kamal Khan resigns as Balochistan chief minister

    Chief Minister (CM) Balochistan Jam Kamal Khan tendered his resignation to Governor Balochistan Syed Zahoor Ahmad Agha, which was confirmed on Sunday.

    Governor Syed Zahoor Ahmad Agha accepted his resignation soon after Jam Kamal sent it to him, reports Dawn.

    Taking to Twitter, Kamal wrote, “And after many thoughts and reasoning and not let Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) put further cracks in us. I put my resignation with a consensus.”

    Earlier, Kamal lay the blame for any loss in Balochistan’s development squarely on the PDM, the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), some Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) members, and a “few mafias” and suggested that Prime Minister Imran Khan take a good look at “his people”.

    CM Khan also said that the prime minister should tell certain federal members to not “fiddle” with Balochistan’s internal matters and give some “space to the PTI’s provincial hierarchy” so that it can play its role at the provincial level in Balochistan.

    Jam Kamal Khan is the fourth chief minister who has resigned to avoid a no-trust motion.
