CRICKET NEWS OF THE WORLD

A pic which can never be forget in the history of Pakistan cricket bcz it all started from there in 2010 when Misbah-ul-Haq first time came for toss as the test captain of Pakistan. Many eyebrows were raised on the decision of his appointment, Misbah got faild in 1st innings of that match & his critics came out in large numbers but the man answered them briliantly by his bat & captaincy. Time proves that he was the right man for Pakistan Test side, now after 6 years of his a ppointment as captain we are finally achieving the landwork of becoming number 1 test side for which lot of credit goes to Misbah he was the one who always stood alone like lone ranger in every conditions for his side but one should also not forget the efforts of Younis Khan bcz he was the one who always played vital role for Pakistan in many famous Test victories under Misbah. Asad Shafiq, Azher Ali, Saeed Ajmal, Yasir Shah & Sarfaraz Ahmed even Adnan Akmal & Mohammad Hafeez also deserves lot of...

Wasim AkramL gives his Pakistan player ratings after England series draw: Sami Aslam - 8/10 167 runs @ 55.66 - two fifties He really impressed me. Obviously, Pakistan having been grooming him from the Under-19s and he was very gutsy with the way he played. Azhar Ali - 7/10 295 runs @ 42.14 - one hundred He looks much fitter, leaner, hungrier and he was unlucky early on in the series but what I was impressed by was his attitude. He's leaner, it means his foot movement is much better. Asad Shafiq - 8/10 274 runs @ 39.14 - one hundred, one fifty For me, along with Yasir, he was definitely pick of the series for Pakistan. He batted well, with good technique and defended solidly. With his technique, I think he is the right choice for No 3. Younus Khan - 9/10 340 runs @ 48.57 - one double hundred He is a class player. 32 Test hundreds, six double hundreds and a triple century, the highest run scorer for Pakistan. He struggled early on in the series but he came back w...

PSL2 to feature World T20 superhero Carlos Brathwaite: Sethi “More boost for PSL’s second edition as more big names give their consent.” Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard and Andre Fletcher are other cricketers from the West Indies who have given their consent to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to play in the second edition of the PSL.

The Pakistan leg-spinner ripped through England's top-order at Lord's to put Pakistan in a strong position at stumps on day two A brilliant display of leg-spin from Yasir Shah has put Pakistan in the box-seat against England on day two of the first Test at Lord’s. Shah claimed his fifth Test five-wicket haul as England crumbled from 1-118 to 7-232 in pursuit of Pakistan’s first-innings 339. The wrist-spinner bowled with accuracy that few spinners around the world command, almost single-handedly cutting a swathe through England’s top-order to put his name on the Lord’s honor-board.

W ahab Riaz has said that England's middle order is "fragile", ahead of the first Test at Lord's, and believes Pakistan can put pressure on them. He felt much rested on the shoulders of Alastair Cook, and Joe Root, who has been promoted to No. 3, with the next two positions being filled by James Vince and the recalled Gary Ballance.

Hampshire and England batsman Michael Carberry is to undergo tests this week amid concerns over the condition that six years ago caused potentially life-threatening blood clots to form in one of his lungs. Carberry had felt unwell last week and has been left out of Hampshire's current County Championship match against Warwickshire so that he can see a specialist as promptly as possible, with his county unwilling to take any chances with his health. "He has had a problem that has not cleared up in the way we had hoped so his going to have some tests done," the Hampshire first-team coach Dale Benkenstein said, "We are hoping to have him back for the T20 matches later in the week but in view of what has happened to him in the past we do not want to take any risks with him. "It is a little bit worrying but hopefully the tests will show that everything is fine." Carberry has to take medication to control the condition, which emerged after he...
