Ricky Ponting (on Sky Sports) "One thing I love about Abdullah Shafique is how balanced he is at the crease, he reminds me of Kohli. I have not seen this in Shubman Gill, he still struggles against the short ball. He is a superior talent, I can't wait to see him on our shores."
As we are enjoying the Qualifier round of the T20 World Cup let us not forget the constant struggles of Associate nations. Paul van Meekeren who is currently bowling 140+ against former champions Sri Lanka was an UberEats driver when the pandemic brought cricket
Faheem Ashraf "I went to Birmingham couple days ago to express my delight to Nawaz Sharif about the revival of departmental sports. Playing for HBL helped me in representing Pakistan and I had many benefits and coverage that is not given with current domestic contract."
Zaka Ashraf (on Geo News) "We have been getting a lot of backlash on our Independence Day tribute video but I would like to ask the people if celebrating an individual who is currently in jail for corruption is how we want to portray ourselves internationally."
to a complete stop and was struggling to make ends meet.These performances should be a reminder that if the Associates can get more and more opportunities with the big boys their teams will age like fine wine. We should also not forget how abhorrent ICC is at globalizing the game
Saleem Khaliq (on Daily Express) "Chief Selector Haroon Rasheed has expressed interest in selecting Ahmed Shehzad in ODIs with the persistent knee issue of Haris Sohail after being pleased with his improvement in fitness. Shoaib Malik is also being considered for India."
Cricket Pundit (on Cricket & Stuff Space) "I do not see any foreseeable future for Abdullah Shafique in limited overs cricket due to how he strokes it compared to other youngsters coming through."
David Hussey (on Cricketcomau) "In 2020 I said that I wanted to see Rauf represent Pakistan in 400 T20Is and 150 ODIs, and since then his meteoric rise internationally has been a sight to behold. It is not an overstatement to say he is better than the likes of Bumrah right now."
Misbah-ul-Haq (on Dawn News) "There is no way I would want our country's cricket team to be coached online through Zoom, it is laughable and a shameful charade. I have contacted Waqar Younis, Rashid Latif and Muhammad Wasim thus far for to discuss the head coach role."
Haris Rauf (on Score with Yahya Hussaini) "After the India match at Melbourne I got a phone call from Shehbaz Sharif sir who motivated me a lot and said to not cry over spilled milk. I hope to pay his kindness back with a fifer against India in Ahmedabad."
"best ODI player of all time" virat kohli this home series against weakened aus team: 4 (9), 31 (35), 54 (72)
"flat track and minnow team bully" babar azam in most recent home series against weakened aus: 57 (72), 114 (83), 105* (115)
choose your poison wisely

@DennisCricket_
dumbass the PSL3 final was played in lahore when nawaz was PM
also getting the tournament shifted to pak was no easy feat, most of the dirty work was done under sethi's tenure, so this is an illogical comparison 🥱
"chase master king kohli" in IPL finals:
7 (8) in 2009 chasing 144
35 (32) in 2011 chasing 206
54 (35) in 2016 chasing 209
"flat track bully babar" in PSL finals:
MOTM award 63 (49) in 2020 chasing 135
RCB are paying kohli 17 crores for this?
sharam kar begharat choker
Aqib Javed (on Geo News) "Many people tell me that Bumrah will be a big threat to Pakistan in the World Cup. But in our PDP trials, I have seen tapeball bowlers from Kahuta who can bowl with an even lower arm than Bumrah, he is nothing special really. Zaman Khan is much better."
Ian Bishop (in Post Match Analysis) "India have had the proclivity to send T20I sides composed of IPL stars, and yet they've lost more often than not. I am beginning to question how seriously the BCCI takes international cricket now in spite of getting 38% of the revenue now."
Everyone's loving m haris atm, aren't they. God knows how much time it will take for everyone to call him brainless tulla, ridicule him, when his high risk method isn't earning him a reward for a time period. It ain't easy being a youngster in Pakistan.
Abid Ali "I would never have been able to represent my country had it not been for department cricket. HBL always gave me assurity that I would be given long chances and that helped me to become strong mentally. It is great news that departmental sports is being revived."
We must wrap Ihsanullah in cotton wool. I repeat, we must wrap him in cotton wool. He is the modern day reincarnation of Shoaib Akhtar. Not only does he have the pace, but he also has the raw aggression. If managed correctly he will have a more fruitful career than Shoaib himself
Zaka Ashraf (on Samaa News) "It is an absolute disgrace to Pakistan cricket that my predecessor was willing to hire a head coach who is treating our country like second fiddle. Misbah and I are on the same page and are looking at local options to appoint before Asia Cup."
I would like to appeal to the community in Pakistan Punjab to back
#SaddaPunjab
for the upcoming season. At the end of the day, we are brothers and sisters divided by borders; we are the same people.
Pakistani communities from other provinces are also welcome of course
@lionsdenkxip
really was unnecessary to change the name, that too to a bakery
KXIP was a lot better, kindly consider changing back. don't think rebranding would automatically boost our odds of winning, need to properly strategize in auction and on the field 🥱
Zaka Ashraf (on Dawn News) "You can never go wrong with too much experience in a World Cup. If Amir was there in the last two T20 WCs to cool down the likes of Shaheen and Rauf with his experience, we would have had 3 T20 WC titles to our name. Have we forgotten 2019 World Cup?"
Shafique is playing with more intent and shots who warmed the bench for the first 2 seasons of his career than captain Babar who has played all the seasons and its still the same story. We must begin questioning how stagnant he is and stays in his box. As fans we deserve answers
@ESPNcricinfo
should be giving more exposure to scotland vs netherlands rather than reminisce on the past for the umpteenth time
goated season nonetheless
Matthew Hayden (on Cricketcomau) "I had the pleasure of meeting Abdullah Shafique and his father in the UAE during the 2021 T20 World Cup. I was very impressed by his temperament for his age, I don't think I've ever seen such guile in local IPL batters like in Shafique."
Shayan Jahangir (on MLC Network) "I never got PSL contracts in spite of performing in many T20 tournaments. But Allah has given my career a second life here in America for which I am very grateful for. I hope to play a match winning knock against Pakistan next year in T20 WC."
Mohammad Amir (on his YouTube Channel) "Several IPL teams have already approached me as I am closer to getting British citizenship, such as Punjab and Rajasthan. I had a great experience playing for Barbados in CPL, and say my passion reminds them of Tanvir bhai in 2008 IPL."
Very pleased that Mohammad Rizwan has signed with the county the great 92 World Cup winning captain Imran Khan had played for in his career.
I myself convinced Rizwan to avail the offer with Sussex, and look at what has transpired!
same guy who says markande better spinner than shadab everyone
next thing we know this account will start saying akash madhwal is better than shaheen
u know what to do meray pakistaniyo
Hardik Pandya (in Post Match Interview) "I'm slightly on the black side, so along with Dhoni I don't mind losing to the West Indies. Losing is good sometimes, it teaches you, but it doesn't change that India can field two teams and win any ICC tournament, no team has that depth."
my checklist for next few days in gregorian calendar:
punjab kings becoming the first team to defeat gujarat titans in IPL
ultimate youthia meltdown following no confidence motion verdict
najam sethi announced as chairman PCB
how certain gym merchants on this platform will embrace king azam after he dines out against their favorite bowler in PSL8 during islamabad title winning campaign
BREAKING NEWS: asfand has stated that zaman khan is no better than tom curran and wahab at the death and that his "average yorkers" will be exposed against better batting like ISLU
(source: cricket and stuff space)
Azam Khan (to Guyana Amazon Warriors) "I am looking forward to playing for Guyana. Shoaib bhai is a legend of the team and has given me a lot of advice to succeed there. It will help me push my case for the T20 World Cup next year that I want to represent Pakistan in."
burgerbacha comeback year schedule:
27th feb: ISLU win their third title
sometime in june: punjab lift their maiden trophy
13th november: pakistan win their 2nd T20 WC trophy
ireland captain paul stirling pulling off intense 2-1 series win
is also a part of ISLU
boosting ISLU think tank on the field with his genius
if this isn't our season then I don't know when will it be our season

Records created by Nepal today in Asian Games in T20I history:
- First team ever to score 300 runs.
- Kushal Malla scored the fastest ever T20I hundred: 34 balls.
- Dipendra Singh scored the fastest ever T20I fifty: 9 balls.
There is no reason to struggle against fate, for we are fated to do whatever action we take in life.
'Alas, like Geoffrey Chaucer said, all good things must come to an end.
It is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter.

Saifullah Bangash “The problem [with the current domestic structure] is that you are constantly under threat and you need to perform in every single season to remain in the contract. One bad season can cost you that contract. SSGC always assured me that I would be backed."
SJAL MEETING :
It is decided to boycott Islamabad United & Hassan Ali till Pakistani fast bowler don't apologize to Anus Saeed on his rude behavior during press conference.
Good decision by journalists.
Sikandar Bakht (on Geo News) "Imran Khan was corrupt during his playing days and after joining politics is now in jail for that. Have we as a country stooped so low that we have no one else to celebrate other than a criminal on our Independence Day?"
when the new guy in the ISLU management proposes to cheema saab to use one of the picks on a 140+ local bowler instead of an overseas opener or overseas bowler who bats
