T20 World Cup: PAK skipper Salman looking to avoid outside noise

Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha on Friday said the team will try to shut out the off-field noise surrounding its planned boycott of the India match and instead focus on winning remaining group games to qualify for the T20 World Cup Super Eight stage. Pakistan, who won the title in 2009, are coming into the tournament in the wake of their decision to boycott the February 15 group game against arch-rivals India in solidarity with Bangladesh, who were replaced by Scotland after refusing to travel to India citing security concerns. Asked how he would deal with the situation, Salman told reporters: "By just avoiding that. It's something we, as a group, we don't really talk about and we don't really see what's happening outside in the group. And I think that's the best we can do. We can avoid all this and just focus on our game." Since September last year, Indian cricket teams have adopted a no-handshake policy with Pakistan counterparts in international matches in solidarity with victim

Pakistan register 111-run win over Australia to complete T20 series sweep

Pakistan handed Australia its biggest-ever defeat in a Twenty20 just five days ahead of the T20 World Cup to sweep the series 3-0 on Sunday. Pakistan's commanding 111-run win in the third and final game eclipsed Australia's previous biggest defeat when England registered a 100-run win at Southampton in 2005. Australia, one of the title-contenders at the T20 World Cup to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, continued to struggle against spinners as left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz grabbed a career-best 5-18 and the visitors were bowled out for 96 in 16.5 overs. Pakistan, which won its third successive toss in the series, had earlier posted a daunting 207-6 its highest-ever total in a T20 against Australia. "From the last two days, we have been excellent in all departments, I can't find any mistakes," said Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha. "We dominated them. I am in a great frame of mind right now. I know how to handle the captaincy when I go out to bat and I really want to do
