In March, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is expected to move the Asia Cup from Pakistan and choose a new location after BCCI secretary Jay Shah and PCB chairman Najam Sethi raised the issue during a formal meeting on Saturday in Bahrain. The emergency meeting, called at Sethi’s request after the ACC released its schedule and Pakistan wasn’t awarded the Asia Cup hosts, was attended by the heads of all ACC member countries.

Originally assigned to Pakistan, the Asia Cup was set to take place in September of this year. However, Shah, who serves as the ACC chairman, announced in October of last year that India will not travel to Pakistan as a result of political tension between the two countries.

“The ACC engaged in a fruitful discussion regarding the next Asia Cup 2023. The Board decided to move forward with the operations, schedules, and other specific discussions in order to ensure the match’s success. In a press statement, ACC noted that a decision on the topic could be made during the following ACC Government Board Assembly, which would be held in March 2023.

Although a decision won’t be made until the following month, a senior BCCI official familiar with the situation told PTI that it’s highly improbable that Pakistan will host the match.

“The match had to be moved because India decided not to visit Pakistan. The sponsors might pull out of a game without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill, the official said.

One ACC insider claimed that Sethi had just assumed control of the PCB and that he would have made a bad image at home if he had given up the hosting rights during the first meeting itself.

Pakistan is currently experiencing a financial catastrophe. One US dollar is now equivalent to 277 Pakistani rupees, severely impacting the country. Even with an ACC funding, organising a high-profile match like Asia Cup may strain PCB finances.

Therefore, tactically, there is a chance that each member country could even get to profit in addition to the printed earnings if the match is staged in the UAE.

In another decision, the ACC increased the annual funding granted to the Afghanistan Cricket Association from six to fifteen percent.

The ACC has promised to support the Afghanistan board in whatever way possible in order to bring back women’s cricket in the country. Under Taliban control, women are not allowed to participate in sports.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, a great fast bowler for Pakistan, got married to Shahid Afridi’s daughter Ansha at a mosque in Karachi on Friday. Two years ago, they said “I do.”
As soon as the wedding was over, pictures from the private event started showing up on social media sites.

The pacer’s teammates were there to make the event special. Among the guests were the current captain of Pakistan, Babar Azam, as well as Sarfaraz Ahmed, Naseem Shah, and Shadab Khan. Jahangir Khan, who is a squash legend, was also there.

Reports say that Shaheen Shah Afridi’s family arrived in Karachi for the wedding two days early, and that the couple’s mehndi ceremony took place on Thursday night.

The 22-year-old pacer has played for Pakistan in 25 Tests, 32 ODIs, and 47 T20Is. In those three types of games, he has taken 99, 62, and 58 wickets.
Shaheen Shah Afridi will next play for Lahore Qalandars in the eighth season of the Pakistan Super League, which is set to start on February 13 and run until March 13.
“Lahore Qalandars wishes @iShaheenAfridi eternal bliss,” the Twitter caption for the photo album said.

On the day before his wedding, Shaheen Shah Afridi, who hurt his knee in last year’s T20 World Cup final, was seen working hard in the nets to get ready for the PSL 8 season.

The 22-year-old recently talked about his time in rehab, when he was almost done with cricket but kept himself going by watching old videos of himself.

“I didn’t always want to keep going. I only worked on one muscle, and it wasn’t getting better. I used to tell myself, “This is enough, I can’t do this anymore,” a lot during my rehab sessions. But then I would watch my bowling on YouTube and see how well I did. That made me want to work harder, so I told myself, “Push a little more.” When a fast bowler gets hurt and can’t play cricket, it’s a pain “Shaheen said on YouTube.

Wasim Akram, a former captain of Pakistan, has said that he has never thought about coaching the national team because captains and coaches in the country get a lot of hate, abuse, and criticism. “If the team is having trouble, you can criticise me. But it’s awful that everyone in Pakistani cricket always criticises and insults the captain and coaches, Akram said in an interview.

It is very hard to coach a cricket team in the Indian subcontinent. It is even more difficult to coach a Pakistani team. Wasim Akram, a great cricketer from Pakistan, has no trouble dealing with these problems, but he doesn’t feel ready for all the hate and abuse a coach gets when his team doesn’t do well. In every sport, there are going to be losses, and Akram feels like he can’t take the abuses anymore. In an interview, Akram talked at length about why he doesn’t want to be the head coach of the Pakistan national cricket team, which is led by Babar Azam.

“If the team isn’t doing well, I can take criticism. But in Pakistan cricket, it is unacceptable that everyone criticises and insults the captain and coaches “Akram said in an interview. “I don’t think I could handle the abuse and sometimes hate that the captain and coach have to take. I’m not that patient, especially when it comes to how people use social media. Some people, I think, just stay on Twitter all day and night to say bad things.”

In 1985, @wasimakramlive played his first Test match at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, against New Zealand. The player, who is in the PCB Hall of Fame, played for Pakistan in 104 Tests and took 414 wickets. He also got 2,898 runs, with 257 not out being his highest score. pic.twitter.com/xqVutcjRLq — Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) on January 25, 2023

Akram also said that he didn’t want the extra stress of coaching the national team. “League cricket is different. There is more pressure and higher expectations, which is why I play for the Karachi Kings in the PSL.”

The legend of fast bowling said that as coach of the Karachi team, players often talk to him about cricket, and he is always there to help and guide them. “I’m always willing to help Pakistan cricket, but I won’t do it if I have to take criticism and insults from people who don’t need to.”
