Former Pakistani fast bowler Aqib Javed is expected to be appointed as the head coach of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket team, sources revealed. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering him for the role, particularly for the upcoming series against Zimbabwe and beyond.

This potential appointment follows Gary Kirsten's resignation as head coach, which left a gap in the coaching setup. In Kirsten’s absence, Jason Gillespie, the red-ball head coach, took over as interim coach for the limited-overs matches in Australia.

Javed, a member of the PCB’s selection committee, has become a strong contender due to his vast coaching experience in domestic and franchise cricket, as well as his familiarity with Pakistan’s cricketing system. Pakistan's packed cricket schedule includes matches against Zimbabwe, South Africa, and a busy international calendar ahead.

Kirsten's resignation reportedly stemmed from contract disputes and differences with the PCB over his availability and authority within team management.

📚🚨 Punjab Government Extends School Closures Due to Heavy Smog 🚨📚

The Punjab government has announced that the closure of all educational institutions, including schools, colleges, and tuition centres, will be extended until November 24 due to the severe smog conditions in the province. 🌫️

This decision comes after the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Lahore hit a record-breaking 1600, making the city one of the most polluted in the world. 🌍

Earlier, the schools were set to reopen on November 17, but the ongoing air pollution and reduced visibility have forced the government to shift all public and private institutions, including tuition centres, to online classes.

This extension applies to all educational institutions except in District Murree. 🏫

Stay safe, stay indoors, and make sure to take precautions against the rising smog! 💨
