There are many cricketers who don't play for their country to play IPL what do you say. We have to understand that IPL is more popular than World Cup or ICC major events. A lot of money is spent on IPL which is why this IPL is so attractive to people and the amount of money that broadcasting channels spend on advertisements is not the same in India Pakistan matches.

What I mean is that if they reduce the amount they provided earlier, then the attraction among the players may decrease a bit. But it must be said that there is no cricket tournament above IPL, whatever amount of money they give is definitely more than any other tournament and in this respect, the players will definitely be interested in playing IPL because they will not get that amount of money anywhere else. And there is nothing to talk about the popularity of this tournament. IPL has now become more popular than World Cup cricket. On one hand, the inclusion of the top players in the world and on the other hand, the influence of money has taken the tournament to a different level.

Since Jay Shah has been elected as the new ICC chairman, the BCCI need to elect a new chairman for their organization. Champions Trophy imbroglio need to be formally sorted out, as PCB is still grumpy about the hybrid model. But Shah will have his hands full. He is the youngest ever chairman of the ICC (and before that, at the age of 31 he was the youngest ever chairman of the BCCI). Shah, while he was the BCCI chairman had come up with the idea of WPL, which turned out to be a huge success. Pay equity policy between women and men was another one of his masterstrokes. And Shah signed the gargantuan $6 billion media rights deal for the IPL, which was the largest ever in the history of cricket.

Right, do you watched yesterday game of this series and this game was played between Pakistan U19 team and Japan U19 team. In start of series, Pakistan U19 team showed great effort and won all past games with brilliant effort. Yesterday, they beated Japan U19 team and I know Japan U19 is not a good team but I did not expect such difference between their effort and Japan U19 team lost game by big margin 180 runs and all wickets Japan U19 team for 63 runs. Pakistan U19 team set 243 runs target in 50 overs by losing 6 wickets. Huzaifa took down 5 wickets in 6.3 overs and gave 8 wickets. Other 2 wickets was down by Husain and other two Ahmed. All wickets was fell down for 63 runs. Congratulations Pakistan U19 team to another amazing win and continue to win game and beat their opponent.

Recent developments about Pakistan and India playing in ICC events are big move forward. Jay Shah has played crucial role in solving these issues using his charm to tackle complex problems. Possibility of having hybrid ICC events in India or Pakistan is exciting benefiting both countries and their fans. Pakistan Cricket Board has worked hard to protect its interests and result is acceptable to fans from both countries. With new chairman in charge cricket is likely to see positive changes, building on great work he did at the BCCI.

Zimbabwe won by 2 wickets against Pakistan in their 3rd T20 Match at Queens Sports Club Stadium, in Zimbabwe. Glad that Zimbabwe finally won a single t20 match out of three but inspite of that, Pakistan won the series as they already achieved victory in first 2 matches and the last match was interesting enough. Pakistan won the toss and opted to Bat first and able to collected Total 132-7 runs. The beginning was bad, lost top three batsmen for a few runs. Captain Salman Agha(32) did decent run but faced unfortunate run out. Rest of batmen like Arafat Minhas, Qasim Akram, Tayyab Tahir did avarage 21 score which was okey in t20 match. Most of Zimbabwe bowlers got wickets and bowl well enough. Apart from that, Zimbabwe already had strategy and mindset to made good amount of runs and that's why they took everything seriously from beginning. Brian Bennett(43) did well as an opener batsman. Rest of players tired their best to made more runs with good Strike rate. And before the end, Tinotenda Maposa made 12 runs from 4 balls and totally change the game and due to his effort, Zimbabwe able to write the victory under their name.

But Zimbabwe squad lost this competition and this victory is of no use. This performance was needed in first two matches but Zimbabwe displayed very shit performance in those matches. In this match, Pakistan squad expressed quite shit performance in batting and their batters were confused in start of inning when they lost 3 batters wickets. In previous matches, Usman Khan delivered their amazing performance in some previous matches and support their sqaud to secure victories but in third match, he just managed to collect 5 scores. Brian Bennett  full supported their their in batting Inning and beginning of Inning, he just achieved 43 scores off 35 deliveries. Due to low scores of Pakistan, they faced a defeat but their bowling performance was very good and Fight was quite close because Zimbabwe squad emerged victorious 2 wickets and 1 delivery.

I was not as happy to see Pakistan win the first two matches as I was to win this last match for Zimbabwe.  Because Pakistan won the first two matches and showed a bad performance in the last match which many people were hoping for, now very few people are giving importance to their two match series.  But the joy of Pakistan's victory is not felt because the real fun comes only when Pakistan wins the entire series and does not allow Zimbabwe to win a single match.  Pakistan have played very wrong, they should have at least set a target above 150, the joy that should have been in this match should not have been in the whole series win.  If their bowlers had worked harder, they could have won the match if they had taken wickets in the last over and stopped the runs.  But Pakistan's bowlers also tried their best but still they could not get success and thus they will win the two match series.

The two players of South African team scored a century and there is no batsman in the Sri Lankan team who scored a century but the point is when Sri Lanka will come back to bowl then they should take the quick wickets and does not allow South Africa batsmen to hit boundaries.

In short, Sri Lanka bowlers have to put pressure on South Africa by appealing and whatever tactic to not make them free runs.  Sri Lanka have good fast bowlers Lahiru Kumara and Asitha Fernando which makes it more stronger and fast bowler are like the key to put pressure on the batsmen but now have to see will they suceed in their mission?

Similar to the news you heard I heard that the entire Champions Trophy tournament will be hosted by India instead of Pakistan. Pakistan has put a lot of effort into organizing the Champions Trophy tournament and they were very interested so if the entire tournament was organized in another country at this moment then undoubtedly Pakistan would have suffered a lot financially and the professionalism of Pakistan would have been questioned. Now if India wants other teams must accept the issue and play Champions Trophy in hybrid model. But I don't think it was a big problem for BCCI. They could have come to Pakistan to play the Champions Trophy but they did not do so due to political reasons.
