The winner team of Chitral, where the talent of all games and both girls and boys wants to play but they are being neglected and denied from their legitimate right like they have in other sectors. The Girls and Boys of Chitral are even denied at the part of Pakistan Cricket Board as Chitral is the largest District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, no trials were conducted there as the girls and boys want to be part of various teams but they did not have resources to come to down districts on their own expenses to participate in the trials of Cricket or any other Games because one person if decide to visit for the trials mean it would cost her or him Rs. 20,000 each.

By Paras Ahmad Khan

MELBOURNE, Nov 3: Mohammad Rizwan’s first outing as white-ball captain will begin on Monday when Pakistan take on hosts Australia in the three-match ODI series. The first game will be played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, while the second ODI will begin on 8 November at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. The both teams will then travel to Perth where the third ODI will take place on 10 November at the Perth Stadium.
The ODI series will be followed by three-match T20I series, which will be played on 14, 16 and 18 November.
Both sides last met in the 50-over format during the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 20 where Australia defeated Pakistan by 62 runs at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The last time both sides featured in a bilateral ODI series was in March/April 2022, when Australia visited Pakistan and the hosts won the series 2-1.
Pakistan have also announced their playing XI for the first ODI, with Muhammad Irfan Khan and Saim Ayub making their debut. 21-year-old Irfan has already featured in three T20Is for Pakistan, while he has played 24 List-A matches, scoring one century and three half-centuries. Left-handed opening batter Saim has been a part of six Tests and 23 T20Is for Pakistan and has featured in 35 List-A matches accumulating 1,472 runs with the help of four centuries and seven half-centuries.
Aamir Jamal, Arafat Minhas, Faisal Akram and Haseebullah are the other uncapped players in the ODI squad.
Mohammad Rizwan reflecting on team preparations ahead of the ODI series:
“It is an honour to lead the Pakistan team and we are ready to take on Australia in their own backyard.
“We all know Australia are a very good side, and world champions, but we look forward to competing hard as we have a number of young and exciting players in our squad and it is their chance to grab the opportunities coming their way.
“We have had productive training sessions here in Melbourne since our arrival and with the support of Almighty, we look forward to produce positive results in the series.
“We are scheduled to play a good number of ODIs before the next year’s ICC Champions Trophy back in Pakistan. The forthcoming series beginning with Australia, then Zimbabwe, South Africa and the home Tri-nation tournament will help us assemble a right combination going into the mega event at home.
“We are expecting fans to come in good number to support us in this series, as they have been a huge support for the team wherever we have played in Australia.”
Pat Cummins, Australia’s ODI captain:
“It’s always great to have such high intensity game which makes the start of summer and it’s a great opportunity for youngsters to get going.
“Pakistan are quite a decent side and they have players who have scored big runs. We have played against them in recent years, so I think it’s always a fairly even match.
“There is going to be good crowd tomorrow at the MCG as we are playing against Pakistan.”

Shaheens go down by seven runs in a hard-fought opening match against India ‘A'
By Paras Ahmed Khan

PESHAWAR, Oct 19: In their first match of the ACC Men’s Emerging Teams T20 Asia Cup 2024 at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground in Muscat, Oman, Pakistan Shaheens faced India ‘A’ and fell just seven runs short of the target. The Shaheens were chasing a total of 184 runs set by India ‘A’ and managed to score 176-7 in their allotted 20 overs. Arafat Minhas was the standout performer for Shaheens, scoring 41 runs off 29 balls.
The match began with an aggressive start as skipper Mohammad Haris smacked a six off the first ball, only to depart on the second ball of the chase. Despite the early setback, Yasir Khan (33) and Qasim Akram (27) managed to stabilize the innings with a 54-run third-wicket partnership. However, after Yasir fell to an excellent catch by Ramandeep Singh, Shaheens lost momentum, and Qasim departed in the same over.
Arafat Minhas, coming in at No. 5, played a crucial role, hitting five fours and one six to keep the Shaheens in the hunt for the chase. He built a 48-run stand with Haider Ali (9) before his departure in the 15th over. Abdul Samad then took charge, scoring 25 runs off 15 balls and putting the Indian bowlers under pressure. However, despite Mohammad Abbas Afridi's unbeaten 18 off nine balls, which included crucial boundaries in the last over, Shaheens fell short by seven runs.
The India 'A' bowling attack was spearheaded by Anshul Kamboj, who took 3 wickets for 33 runs, Nishant Sindhu, with 2 wickets for 15 runs, and Rasikh Salam, who claimed 2 wickets for 30 runs. Their excellent performance played a crucial role in restricting the Pakistan Shaheens to 176-7.
India 'A' won the toss and chose to bat first. The opening pair of Prabhsimran Singh and Abhishek Sharma got off to a flying start, putting together a 68-run partnership. However, their momentum was halted by Sufiyan Moqim, who struck on the first ball after the powerplay to dismiss Prabhsimran Singh. Sufiyan also took the wicket of Nehal Wadhera in the 14th over, as the Pakistan Shaheens tightened their grip, conceding only 54 runs between overs 6 and 15.
Tilak Verma played a crucial role for India 'A', scoring 44 runs off 35 balls and anchoring the innings. He also contributed to a vital 43-run fifth-wicket partnership with Ramandeep. This helped India 'A' reach a total of 183-8 in their 20 overs. Apart from Sufiyan's impressive bowling, Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Qasim Akram, and Zaman Khan also took one wicket each for the Pakistan Shaheens.
In the end, India 'A' emerged victorious, beating Pakistan Shaheens by seven runs at the Oman Cricket Academy Ground in Muscat. The Pakistan Shaheens, despite their efforts, could only manage to reach 176-7 in their 20 overs. Arafat Minhas top-scored for them with 41 runs, supported by Yasir Khan (33), Qasim Akram (27), and Abdul Samad (25). Anshul Kamboj, Nishant Sindhu, and Rasikh Salam starred for India 'A' with the ball, taking 3, 2, and 2 wickets respectively.
The Pakistan Shaheens will face hosts Oman in their next match on Monday, 21 October at 2 pm PKT.

Women World Cup-Cricket
New Zealand reach semi-finals after defeating Pakistan by 54 runs in ICC Women T20 WC
By Paras Ahmad Khan

DUBAI, Oct 14: New Zealand recorded a resounding 54-run win over Pakistan to qualify for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2016.
Electing to bat first, Sophie Devine’s side were shackled by the Pakistan spin attack and grafted their way to a below-par total of 110 for six from 20 overs.
Chasing a huge net run rate swing, Pakistan folded to 56 all out - the second lowest all out total in tournament history - as they and India exited Group A.
Openers Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer got off to an excellent start, guiding the White Ferns to 39 without loss from the powerplay.
Bates ticked along at a run-a-ball throughout the first six overs but rode her luck in doing so, surviving an LBW review in the first over and gaining a lifeline when she was dropped at midwicket on 20.
Eventually the aggressive instincts of 20-year-old Plimmer got the better of her when she charged at Nashra Sandhu and skied one to Fatima Sana on 17.
Pakistan established a vice-like grip on the contest through miserly spells from spinners Nashra and Omaima Sohail, with New Zealand going a full 54 balls without hitting a boundary.
Nashra once again induced a rash stroke from a Kiwi opener, with Bates spooning a high catch to Nida Dar at long on to make it 50 for two.
Amelia Kerr never got going and Omaima nabbed her first wicket when Kerr picked out Fatima to depart for nine runs from 17 balls.
Nida and teenager Syeda Aroob Shah continued the squeeze, but Brooke Halliday peeled off two fours in the 15th over to give New Zealand's innings much-needed impetus.
Pakistan were left to rue a couple of dropped catches as Halliday and captain Sophie Devine built a patient partnership, with the pair dismissed in successive balls at 96 for five.
New Zealand took advantage of further missed chances as Maddy Green and Isabella Gaze grafted their way to a competitive score.
With Pakistan’s highest opening partnership in the tournament totalling 13, Aliya Riaz was promoted from her usual pinch-hitting role to replace Gull Feroza at the top of the order.
Pakistan needed to reach their target in 10.4 overs to secure an unlikely spot in the knockout stages.
The experiment did not pay off and Devine’s decision to open with spinner Eden Carson was rewarded when Aliya steered a catch to the skipper at mid-on.
The White Ferns were fired up in the field and speedster Lea Tahuhu cleaned up Muneeba Ali for 15 to stamp their authority.
Two wickets fell in Fran Jonas’ first over as Sadaf Shamas was clean bowled and Iram Javed was run out when taking a risky single to short third.
Pakistan’s collapse continued when Sidra Amin was bowled by Rosemary Mair for a golden duck as they sunk for 28 for five.
The experienced pair of Fatima and Nida briefly steadied the ship and the former slapped Mair for a fine four through cover in the ninth over.
The pair put on 32 runs, but Nida was stumped off Kerr and the last five wickets fell for just four runs, as Pakistan succumbed to their lowest-ever total at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
Scores in brief
New Zealand vs Pakistan, Dubai International Stadium, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
New Zealand 110/6 from 20 overs (Suzie Bates 28, Brooke Halliday 22; Nashra Sandhu 3/18, Omaima Sohail 1/14)
Pakistan 56 all out from 11.4 overs (Fatima Sana 21, Muneeba Ali 15; Amelia Kerr 3/14, Eden Carson 2/7)
Result: New Zealand won by 54 runs
