Women's Cricket World Cup - Pakistan

By
This team made their debut in the international arena in 1997 and then its first World Cup the same year. They did not qualify for another World Cup until 2009. Currently ranked seventh on the ICC list, they have participated in three world cup tournaments, this year being their fourth.

Recently they got a new coach in Sabih Azhar for the tournament. They have not been afraid to do what it takes to try to win. They have Bismah Maroof and Javeria Khan for the experience.

Squad:

Sana Mir (captain), Asmavia Iqbal, Ayesha Zafar, Bismah Maroof, Diana Baig, Ghulam Fatima, Javeria Khan, Kainat Imtiaz, Marina Iqbal, Nahida Khan, Nain Abidi, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Yousuf, Sidra Nawaz and Waheeda Akhtar

Fixtures:

June 25 V South Africa
June 27 V England
July 2 V India
July 5 V Australia
July 8 V New Zealand
July 11 V West Indies
July 15 V Sri Lanka

Players to look out for:

Sana Mir, the captain, has been impressive in leading the team. She is one of the main causes of the team’s dramatic change in its form and spirit. She is the wicket-taker of the team.  

Bismah Maroof is the allrounder that the team depends on. She can not only take over the bat but can contribute with bowling. She has proven to be dependable.

Javeria Khan is the determined bat that will help Pakistan score. The higher the runs on board, the better the chances for the team on the whole.

Considering the fact that they have made it to only four out of eleven world cup tournaments, they are doing pretty well this time. They are capable of causing an upset or two.

Editor’s Pick(PKL)

By
Four more days of Kabaddi, a teeny break and the next round commences on October 23rd. The super playoffs. All this hard work only for that. A look at the point table will give you an idea about who COULD go to the next level. Course anything could happen in the last minute. Anyone could topple. You remember the havoc Bangladesh created during the Champions Trophy. They threw out the big guns. I mean, they probably stopped West Indies from qualifying too, come to think of it. Back to Kabaddi. Zone A is still topped by Gujarat followed by Haryana and Pune. The other three teams - Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi. Zone B, Bengal take the lead followed by Patna and UP. Today’s match-UP meets Bengaluru. UP is third and are doing very good for themselves. Bengaluru, fifth on the table, don’t really look like they have a chance. Only thing they do want to do now is walk out with a smile saying yes, we tried. UP Yoddha - Squad strength: 18 (16 Indian, 2 Overseas) Defenders – Jeeva Kumar, Ha

From all of us Fans to Players & Officials: Please don't treat us with kid gloves

By Anonymous
As any fan will tell you, we not just love, but understand the sport and our teams like no one else. And that’s also why they keep bankrolling the big fat salaries of the players, the profits of the clubs and the boondoggle of officials. The recently concluded test match raised, in my mind, three instances where the thought process seems to be – it is OK for us to handle it, but it is too hot for fans . Common, now, please don’t treat us with kid gloves. One: The first one, inevitably, is about the DRS and taking the dugouts inputs in it. The rules are clear – the decision to ask for a decision review stays with the players on the field. Within a few seconds of the umpires’ decision, the batting team can dispute an out decision or the bowling team can dispute a not-out decision, without consulting with anyone outside the playing field. The controversy of Smith’s ‘brain-fade’ and Kohli’s allegations have played out ad nauseam on TV and cyberspace, so I will spare you that
