PCB Seeks ICC’s Explanation after India Refuse to Play Champions Trophy in Pakistan

By

November 12, 2024

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has written to the ICC demanding clarity over India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan.

Recently BCCI wrote an email to the ICC on refusing to play the Champions Trophy in Pakistan which the Sports governing body forwarded to the PCB.

With the speculation arise on the next move, Pakistan Cricket Board has demanded an explanation on India’s stance and also declared that they are not adopting hybrid model.

“Our position on the event is already public: the entire ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Pakistan. This stance has been made clear, and there is nothing new in this regard,” a PCB source stated.

The PCB’s letter follow notification from the ICC that India would not be travelling to Pakistan for the high profile 50-over tournament, marking the tournament’s return to the cricket calendar after an eight year absence.

The PCB has forwarded the ICC’s communication to the Pakistani government to determine next steps.

The stand between PCB and BCCI has left the future of the Champions Trophy at stake. Pakistan has allocated around INR 17 billion rupees to upgrade stadiums in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi in preparation for the tournament next year.

Earlier this month, a PCB source told media that pakistan had agreed to host the event in a hybrid model were unfounded. Notably, when Pakistan held the hosting rights for the Asia Cup last year, it accepted a hybrid format where tIndia’s matches are played in Sri Lanka.

PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who previously demanded a formal explanation from the BCCI regarding India’s travel plans, has repeatedly affirmed that Pakistan is determined to host all matches of the Champions Trophy within Pakistan.

With ICC was reportedly set to announce the schedule, without confirmation of the venues, in the second week of November. According to reports, the Champions Trophy is set to be held from February 19 to March 09.

India has not traveled to Pakistan since Asia Cup 2008. India and Pakistan have not met in a bilateral series since 2012-13 season. India have not played bilateral cricket in Pakistan since the 2008 Asia Cup.

With India’s presence is crucial to the commercial success of the ICC event, Pakistan might pull out to shift the event out of the country. The ICC are in talks with the PCB and the other participating Boards to finalise the schedule of the eight team tournament.

“I Was Just Shocked” James Anderson Opens Up On His Forced Retirement

By

November 12, 2024

The legendary cricketer James Anderson has opened up on his retirement and said that he felt like Joe Pesci when England head coach Brendon McCullum and red ball skipper Ben Stokes informed him that they were willing to look beyond him in the longest format of the game.

The 42-year-old said that he was more shocked than getting angry. Anderson admitted that going away from the game is bitter to swallow. The Burnley-born has been working as the fast bowling coach of the England team after his retirement.

“As I walk towards them, it hits me cold. This isn’t a team appraisal, is it? I feel like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, ushered into a room under the impression that I’m going to get made, only to be shot.”

James Anderson is the highest wicket-taker among pace bowlers in Test cricket. He picked 704 wickets in 188 tests before making his retirement.

“I don’t think I was angry. I was just shocked. But, to be honest, I would have carried on for as long as my body let me. Maybe I needed that nudge to say now’s a good time to finish,” said Anderson.

“If it had been completely cut out of my life I don’t think I’d have coped very well. The fact that they wanted me to stay in the group helped me.”

“I’m still having the dressing-room environment, still seeing my mates every day, still having an impact on Test matches, but obviously in a very different way,” he added.

James Anderson has asserted that he is enjoying his new coaching role and learning new things on his job.

He also conceded that his retirement has beneficial for the team as it opened up opportunities for new bowlers to come in and prove their mettle.

“I find it quite exciting that I’m getting to learn a different job and finding out more about myself and whether I’m any good at it.”

“So it’s been pretty interesting and, as a coach, I can now see that the decision actually benefited the team because there’ve been more opportunities for bowlers to come in and do well,” Anderson revealed.

England have some important test series in the upcoming months. They will be travelling to New Zealand before hosting India.

They also have next year’s Ashes in Australia to contend with. Anderson said that his primary role is to prepare the young pacers for the challenges ahead.

“That’s exactly what they were trying to do with the Ashes happening in a year’s time. They want to make sure they’ve got enough players with the experience to cope,” he ended.

“Take A Leaf Out Of” Xavier Bartlett Eyes on Emulating Pakistan’s Pace Attack

By

November 12, 2024

The fast bowler Xavier Bartlett returns to action for the first time after suffering a side strain in September and will be part of Australia’s bowling unit for Pakistan T20Is.

The return of Bartlett will increase the bowling depth with a gruelling Border Gavaskar Trophy set to test the fitness of the cricketer. Bartlett has not played in domestic cricket so far in the season and has recently returned to local cricket in Brisbane.

Xavier Bartlett was the leading wicket-taker in last season’s BBL and helped Brisbane to win the title. He also claimed four-wicket hauls in the first two ODIs against West Indies and picked 6 wickets from four tours at an average of 17.66.

He was added to Australia’s squad to build depth after Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc started their preparations for the five-match test series against India.

Spencer Johnson, Lance Morris, Sean Abbott and Marcus Stoinis has played in the third ODI with Bartlett watching from the sidelines after coming into Australia’s ODI squad in a non playing role for the second match.

Australia suffered a home ODI defeat after 2123 days against Pakistan after India beat them in 2019 last time. He spoke about Pakistan’s brillance with the ball and hasn’t been lost on the home side.

“They’ve been amazing,” said Xavier Bartlett. “The last two games they’ve only used four bowlers. (They’re bowling) 140 from both ends for the whole game. It’s been pretty exciting to watch.

“They bowled really great lengths and they were just really attacking … they might go for a few more runs at times but the lengths they’ve bowled have been really good and (I’ll) hopefully look to emulate that. We’ll take a leaf out of their book for this series.”

If he is set to play in the series opener, it will be his first international match in front of his home crowd. He said that he will share the new ball with Brisbane Heat teammate Spencer Johnson.

The duo were unstoppable in the Big Bash League last season where Brisbane Heat won the title.

“I love bowling with Spencer,” Bartlett said. “He’s someone who bowls left arm first and foremost, but bowls 150 (kmph), swings it, he’s pretty much the perfect package.

“Hopefully he can complement me at the other end and really looking forward to getting out there again with him,” he concluded. The first match of the Pakistan T20I will be played on November 14 at The Gabba.
