PCB plans resumption of suspended Pakistan Super League in Pakistan

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is preparing to resume the suspended Pakistan Super League (PSL) even if the foreign recruits do not come back and host the final before Bangladesh arrive for a T20 series later this month. A reliable PCB source said following the 'ceasefire' with India, the PCB plans to resume the PSL by May 16. "We have eight games, including the final, remaining in the PSL and the plan is to resume by May 15-16 with or without foreign players and wrap up the event," a PCB source said. The official said some of the overseas players are still in Dubai and some had left for their homes. "Franchises have been told to ask the foreign players to return for the remaining matches but the final decision is with them and their boards," he said.

Pakistan Super League postponed amid ongoing military conflict with India

The Pakistan Cricket Board on Friday postponed the Pakistan Super League (PSL) indefinitely, hours after announcing that the T20 tournament has been shifted to the UAE because of the ongoing military conflict with India. The BCCI has also suspended the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to cross border tension between the neighbouring nations. "The decision to postpone has been taken pursuant to advice received from the Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif who has kept in view the reckless aggression from India that has escalated to a point where national attention and sentiments are rightly focused on the courageous efforts of the Armed Forces of Pakistan who are vociferously upholding the sovereignty of our beloved Pakistan," PCB said in a statement said "The PCB and its players stand resolutely in solidarity with the families of the martyrs and our security personnel defending the nation," the statement added further. However it has been learnt that Emirates

Pahalgam attack: Kaneria blames Pak PM for shielding, nurturing terrorists

Former spinner Danish Kaneria has accused Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of "sheltering and nurturing terrorists", suggesting that his country has a role in the Pahalgam terror attack in India which led to 26 deaths. In a post on X, the 44-year-old UK-based Kaneria said that Sharif has maintained a stoic silence on the attack, which is indicative of Pakistan's role. Sharif may not have personally commented on the gruesome incident but the Pakistan Foreign Office has expressed concern over the loss of life. "If Pakistan truly has no role in the Pahalgam terror attack, why hasn't Prime Minister @CMShehbaz condemned it yet? Why are your forces suddenly on high alert? Because deep down, you know the truth - you're sheltering and nurturing terrorists. Shame on you," Kaneria, who was banned for alleged spot-fixing in English county cricket, posted on X. Terrorists killed 26 people, mostly tourists, in Pahalgam on Tuesday in the deadliest attack in the Valley since the Pulwama str

I'll expose everything, my book will be an eye-opener: Rashid Latif

Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has promised to "reveal everything" about the match-fixing scandals that rocked Pakistan and world cricket in the '90s in his biographical account which he said will open everyone's eyes. Latif, a whistleblower in the Pakistan dressing room, said he has already started working on the biography. "I can assure you I will reveal everything as it happened and the book will open everyone's eyes," Latif told Geo TV. Since retiring in 2004, it is the first time Latif has spoken about releasing his autobiography. Latif, regarded as one of the finest wicketkeepers in Pakistan cricket history, first drew attention to the match fixing corruption scandal in 1994 when he and Basit Ali announced their retirements while touring South Africa. They insisted they couldn't carry on playing in the given environment of the dressing room. Latif also talked about how some players were allegedly involved in throwing matches and how he was told to do "as said". This

NZ dismantles Pak by 73 runs in 1st ODI to take 1-0 lead in the series

Mark Chapman scored 132 and Daryl Mitchell 76 in a 199-run partnership as New Zealand made 344-9 and went on to beat Pakistan by 73 runs Saturday in the first one-day international. Chapman posted his third one-day international century and rebuilt the innings with Mitchell after New Zealand had been three wickets down in the 13th over, struggling against bounce and swing from the Pakistan fast bowlers. Muhammad Abbas, the first Pakistan-born player to play for New Zealand, made 50 from 24 balls the fastest half century by a player on debut in one-day internationals. Babar Azam led Pakistan's run chase with 78 from 83 balls but when he was out Pakistan slumped, losing seven wickets for 22 runs. For much of its innings Pakistan was ahead of New Zealand, 64-0 after 10 overs where New Zealand had been 34-2. Usman Khan and Abdullah Shafique put on 83 for the first wicket, Babar and Mohammad Rizwan added 76 for the third wicket then Babar and Salman Ali Agha contributed a further 85 f

Pakistan beat New Zealand by 9 wickets in the 3rd T20 to keep series alive

Hasan Nawaz made an unbeaten 105 from 45 balls as Pakistan beat New Zealand by nine wickets in the third Twenty20 international on Friday to keep alive the five-match series. Pakistan won the toss and was able to bowl first, reversing the trend of the first two matches which New Zealand won by nine and five wickets. Nawaz was supported in his first century by captain Salman Ali Agha, who made 51 from 31 balls in an unbroken partnership of 133 for the second wicket. Pakistan finished at 207-1, running down the home team's total of 204 with four full overs to spare to inflict New Zealand's heaviest T20 loss in terms of wickets. Nawaz made ducks in both of the first two matches. "I failed in the first two games and I thank the team for backing me," he said through an interpreter. "When I went out to bat I wanted to score my first international run. "After I scored the first run the pressure was released and I wanted to win the game." Mark Chapman made 94 from 44 balls before New Ze
