Chairman Selection Committee for the national cricket team, Wahab Riaz, is facing criticism for calling fast bowler Shahnawaz Dhani’s behavior inappropriate.

While speaking on a Geo News on Thursday, Wahab Riaz said, “There were complaints about Shahnawaz Dhani’s behaviour, that he did not want to bowl during net practice and tried to avoid it.’

The pacer was defended by former Local Government Minister of Sindh and leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Nasir Hussain Shah. “The management should not make such statements about the players. Shahnawaz Dhani is an excellent bowler, he was also the man of the match in the final of the National Cup. Surprisingly, you are calling Shahnawaz Dhani unfit,” the PPP leader said  to Geo Super.

Social media was also up in arms about Wahab Riaz’s criticism of the beloved bowler. Here is how social media is reacting;

A 13-years old boy Blue Scuti became the first-ever player to beat famous computer game Tetris.

If you’ve played Tetris, you’ll know that as the levels progress, the pieces fall quickly, making it impossible to think and check where you should fit them. It is a very original and practical mechanism that turns the experience into a real challenge, even as the game keeps increasing the level of difficulty until it squeezes the man’s abilities and leads him to defeat.

But a 13-year-old Tetris-loving boy with great skill and technique managed to achieve what no one had achieved before.

Secret behind this record:

He built an Artificial intelligence (AI) program so that he could recognize the piece and place it perfectly in its place so that the levels keep increasing and you know how far the game can go, which happened and caused the game to crash.

The interesting thing about all of this is that no one has ever been able to replicate artificial intelligence, because these pieces fall at such a speed that it is almost impossible to get them into the right place to advance in the game but someone has finally got it.

Blue Scuti has a channel on YouTube, here is a video of when he achieved this feat;

On the second day of the last Test match, Pakistan got its first success as Australian opener David Warner scored 34 runs and fell victim to Salman Ali Agha while Usman Khawaja was dismissed by Aamir Jamal for 47 runs.

Algerian footballer Youcef Atal has been fined $49,000 in France for sharing a Palestinian cleric’s post about Gaza.

A case was registered against Algerian international footballer Youcef Atal, accusing him of spreading incitement for sharing a post of a Palestinian cleric about Gaza.

Youcef Atal shared a video on Instagram after Hamas’s action against Israel on October 7, in which Palestinian cleric Mehmood al-Hasanat threatened Israel.

Prosecutors say that in the video, Mehmood al-Hasanat prayed to God to “send a black day to the Jews” and to “steady the hands” of Gazans “for throwing stones”.

The 27-year-old French defender immediately deleted the post and apologized for it, but the club canceled his contract.

After that, a prosecutor in France started proceedings against him on suspicion of terrorism, and now he has been fined $49,000 for sharing this post.
