Big news is brewing in Pakistan cricket as former captain Waqar Younis is poised for a new, high-powered role. In a recent meeting with PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi in Lahore, Waqar discussed finalizing his appointment. Though a few details still need ironing out, it looks like Waqar is on track to become the board’s cricketing supremo.
From Consultant to Cricketing Chief
For now, Waqar will start as a consultant and advisor to the chairman on cricket affairs. However, if the appointment becomes permanent, his role may expand to something akin to Robert Key’s position as managing director at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
An official from the board mentioned that Naqvi wants a former cricketer to handle all cricket-related matters, including selection and high performance. This would allow Naqvi, who is also Pakistan’s Interior Minister, to focus on running the board without stretching himself too thin.
A Busy Schedule Ahead
With one of the busiest seasons for Pakistan’s men’s team approaching, Naqvi was eager to get someone in place quickly. The upcoming calendar includes a two-Test series against Bangladesh in August, three Tests against England in October, two Tests in South Africa over Christmas and New Year’s, and a Test series against the West Indies.
Additionally, there will be a triangular ODI series with South Africa and New Zealand, the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan, and an eight-match white-ball series in New Zealand in March 2025. On top of the international fixtures, a packed domestic schedule awaits, with three new tournaments (one for each format) and the PSL.
Portfolio of Waqar Younis
Waqar Younis is no stranger to the Pakistan cricket setup. He has served as bowling or assistant coach three times and as head coach twice. His last role was as bowling coach under Misbah-ul-Haq after the 2019 World Cup.
This new role, however, will be his most expansive yet. Waqar will manage everything from international fixtures to the selection committee and the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) for players participating in various T20 leagues worldwide.
Balancing Pakistan’s international schedule with the demand for their players in T20 leagues will be one of Waqar’s biggest challenges. Yet, his extensive experience and deep understanding of the game make him well-suited for this role.

Amna Urooj, who is already embroiled in a honey trap case, levelled serious allegations against Qamar.
Renowned Pakistani writer and playwright Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar finds himself at the center of yet another scandal after a video allegedly featuring him and Amna Urooj surfaced online. The video has rapidly spread across social media platforms, sparking widespread debate and speculation regarding Qamar’s personal and professional conduct.
Allegations of Blackmail
During a recent hearing at the Anti-Terrorism Court, Amna Urooj, who is already embroiled in a honey trap case, levelled serious allegations against Qamar. Urooj accused Qamar of blackmailing her with videos to pressure her into a relationship. She claimed that Qamar lured her with promises of a bright future and a successful career in the entertainment industry.
<
According to Urooj, Qamar’s actions were not just limited to promises but extended to coercion and manipulation. These accusations have brought Qamar’s character and intentions into question, adding a new layer of controversy to his already tumultuous public image.
Courtroom Drama
During the court proceedings, Qamar’s lawyer defended his client by portraying him as a ‘darvaish’ (spiritual) man. However, this defense was met with skepticism from the judge. The judge pointedly questioned the nature of such a spiritual man’s visit to a girl’s home at 4 a.m. instead of being engaged in prayer. This remark underscored the judge’s doubt regarding Qamar’s purported spiritual persona.
Public and Industry Reaction
The leaked video and subsequent allegations have not only impacted Qamar’s reputation but also raised serious questions about the power dynamics and ethical boundaries within the entertainment industry. Supporters of Qamar argue that the video and allegations are part of a smear campaign intended to discredit him. They believe that the timing of these revelations is suspicious, particularly given Qamar’s outspoken views on various social issues.
On the other hand, critics argue that these incidents reveal a troubling aspect of Qamar’s character, suggesting that his actions contradict the values he publicly espouses. The controversy has also ignited discussions about the exploitation and manipulation of individuals in the entertainment industry, highlighting the need for greater accountability and protection for vulnerable individuals.
Qamar’s Response
Despite the serious nature of these allegations, Qamar has maintained his innocence. He has vehemently denied the authenticity of the video and the accusations made by Urooj, asserting that they are part of a coordinated effort to malign his character. Qamar has vowed to take legal action against those responsible for the leak and to clear his name.
As the investigation continues, the impact of this controversy on Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar’s career and personal life remains to be seen. While some believe that his reputation may suffer irreparable damage, others argue that his resilience and commitment to justice will ultimately prevail. The entertainment industry and the public at large will be closely watching how this situation unfolds, seeking clarity and accountability in the midst of the scandal.

I was looking forward to the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics Games. Now personally, I love a big spectacle. If you can recall, the 2008 opening ceremony in Beijing, is often called “the greatest ever” because of its grand extravagance. And of course, the one in London in 2012, which included everything from politics to humor and great music. It presented the very essence of Britain to millions of viewers worldwide.
Paris Olympics Disappoints Many
If you’re an Olympic fan, then last Friday must’ve been a dream for you. Sitting in front of the TV, anticipating what Paris had in store for you. However, if you were like any other fan, we’re sure it was a crashing disappointment for you too. It wasn’t just the rain that dampened the proceedings. It was also the perplexing artistic choices made by the organizers and the lackluster performances of many involved.
The French media reported that it cost around $130 million, which is four times the cost of London’s critically acclaimed 2012 offering. Where was the money spent?
If you did yourself a favor and didn’t watch the Paris Olympics, here is what you missed. Initially, it seemed like a biblical scene of Christ and his 12 apostles sharing a last meal, but with a twist. There were drag queens, a transgender model, a near-naked Greek god of wine, and music by DJ Butch. Her presence, being proudly Jewish, fat, and a lesbian, seemed to tick a lot of boxes in the A-Z of “inclusivity,” which appeared to be the primary theme of this year’s ceremony.
It seems like this year’s theme for the Olympics was inclusivity. Paris followed it to the best of their abilities. This year’s opening has left a question mark in everyone’s head, curious to understand where the money went. And how such an anticipated event could miss the mark.
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Pakistan has never been a kind home to animals. However, now and then, a wave of brutal animal cruelty passes by. Ages ago, dolphins in our rivers were no longer safe. Much later, the stray dogs on the streets were no longer safe. They were abused, shot at, and injected to put to sleep, despite not possessing any violent traits. Around Eid, thousands of animals have been sacrificed. However, a shocking case shocked the entire nation. A man brutally amputated a beautiful camel. The story resulted in everyone coming to its aid.
Yet, no one learned a lesson. Cases such as another amputated donkey, and brutally murdered dog still showed up.
Animal cruelty in Pakistan is a widespread issue, not just isolated incidents. A national news channel report shared that these acts of cruelty are alarmingly common which helped in highlighting a systemic problem that requires urgent attention. The current animal protection laws in Pakistan are inadequate and poorly enforced.
If they ever are enforced. The legal framework is weak, with minimal penalties that do not deter offenders. When requested to put the man responsible for murdering an innocent dog, it was revealed that the bail amount was only 100PKR.
Additionally, law enforcement agencies often lack the necessary training and resources to handle animal cruelty cases effectively. Why? Because there is absolutely no funding for animal welfare, leading to a culture of impunity.
To combat this issue, Pakistan must implement comprehensive animal protection laws with strict penalties. Establishing specialized animal protection units within law enforcement is essential. Training police officers to handle animal cruelty cases can significantly improve the response to these incidents.
Furthermore, creating dedicated courts or tribunals for animal rights cases can ensure that justice is served swiftly and effectively. By taking these steps, Pakistan can progress towards a society that respects and protects its animals, ensuring their welfare and safety.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is taken aback by Pakistan’s unwavering confidence in hosting the upcoming Champions Trophy, scheduled from February 19 to March 9 next year. Despite growing concerns over India’s participation, no alternative plans seem to be in place.
Pakistan’s Hosting Rights and India’s Reluctance
Pakistan, having secured the hosting rights for an ICC event after many years, is facing significant resistance from India. The Indian team has already voiced concerns about traveling to Pakistan, reminiscent of the previous Asia Cup situation where a hybrid model was proposed.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) remains unperturbed, firmly believing that the ICC will ensure India’s participation. This confidence from the PCB has left ICC officials puzzled, especially given the potential hurdles.
No Contingency Plans in Place
An ICC source has expressed doubts about the Indian government permitting their team to travel to Pakistan. To mitigate potential issues, a supplementary budget has been set aside to host some Champions Trophy matches in another country if necessary.
With only six months to go, the ICC is surprised by the PCB’s lack of contingency planning. No discussions have occurred with possible alternative hosts such as the UAE or Sri Lanka, raising concerns about handling last-minute challenges.
PCB’s Firm Stance
Meanwhile, the PCB insists that the entire event will be held in Pakistan. They question India’s reluctance, arguing that if other teams are willing to participate, there should be no issue.
This firm stance complicates the possibility of adopting a hybrid model. An official refusal from India could lead to a crisis for the ICC, putting the entire tournament at risk.
As the Champions Trophy approaches, the cricketing world is watching closely. The PCB’s confidence and the ICC’s concerns highlight the complex dynamics at play.
With significant preparations still needed and potential last-minute changes on the horizon, the situation remains fluid.
The next few months will be crucial in determining how the Champions Trophy unfolds. The PCB and ICC will need to navigate these challenges to ensure a successful tournament, regardless of where the matches are ultimately held.

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is gearing up for a leadership change, with Mohsin Naqvi, the current Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), set to take over the presidency. Naqvi is poised to replace Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, who is likely to be elected as the ICC Chairman.
A New Era for Pakistan in ACC
According to media reports, Naqvi’s term as ACC president will commence in January 2025 and will last for two years. This marks a significant milestone for Pakistan, enhancing its influence in regional cricket administration.
The presidency of the ACC rotates among member countries. Currently, Jay Shah holds the position and was granted a one-year extension this January, ensuring a seamless transition for Naqvi in 2025.
Triple Role for Mohsin Naqvi
Naqvi’s upcoming role as ACC president adds to his already impressive portfolio. In addition to leading the PCB, he also serves as Pakistan’s Interior Minister. Managing three significant roles showcases his extensive experience and leadership abilities.
While there has been no official announcement yet, the ACC is expected to confirm Naqvi’s presidency at their next meeting in October-November.
However, not everyone is pleased with Naqvi’s expanding responsibilities, with former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi criticizing Naqvi, urging him to focus on a single role.
“Mohsin Naqvi is Interior Minister as well as Chairman PCB. This is the right time for him to choose one job!” Afridi stated.
As Naqvi prepares to take on his new responsibilities, the cricket community will be watching closely. His leadership in the ACC will be crucial in shaping the future of cricket in the region. Balancing his roles will undoubtedly be a challenging task, but it also offers an opportunity for significant impact.
Stay tuned to Brandsynario for the latest news and updates.
Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has taken a strong stance against Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi, urging him to focus on one position at a time.
Afridi’s remarks came after Naqvi mentioned seeking advice from former cricketers and white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten to improve Pakistan cricket following their poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024.
Mohsin Naqvi’s Plan Under Fire
During a media interaction recently, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi was asked about the steps he plans to take to uplift Pakistani cricket.
Naqvi responded that he would consult former players and Kirsten before making any decisions. This did not sit well with Afridi, who openly criticized Naqvi’s approach.
“Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi will be able to do nothing if he runs PCB on the suggestions of advisors because the advisors of Chairman PCB are incompetent and have no knowledge about cricket,” Afridi said.
Bold Statement By Shahid Afridi
Afridi didn’t hold back, questioning the competence of Naqvi’s advisors and suggesting that relying on them would be futile.
He stressed that the PCB chairman needs to be decisive and take matters into his own hands. He also asked Mohsin Naqvi to focus on one job at a time.
“Mohsin Naqvi is Interior Minister as well as Chairman PCB. This is the right time for him to choose one job!” Afridi declared.
Source: PCB
The Call for Change
Afridi’s criticism highlights the growing frustration within the cricket community over the management of the sport in Pakistan.
The calls for wholesale changes have been growing louder since the team’s disappointing exit from the T20 World Cup 2024. Many believe that effective leadership is crucial for turning things around.
As the PCB faces mounting pressure to improve the state of cricket in the country, it remains to be seen how Naqvi will respond to Afridi’s pointed comments and whether he will consider stepping down from one of his roles to focus on the other.

Anoushey emerged stronger, recognizing that people can only affect us if we are insecure about those aspects ourselves.
In a recent Q&A session, Anoushey Ashraf opened the floor for individuals to share their struggles and concerns. One user bravely shared a haunting experience from 15 years ago, where a university teacher had hurled a derogatory comment, “Kali billi,” due to their complexion. This incident had left a lasting impact, and the user was still grappling with its effects.
Anoushey Ashraf, with empathy and understanding, shared her own experience of facing criticism. During a live TV broadcast, a caller had disparaged her voice, saying it was “awful.” Despite receiving love and appreciation from thousands, this single comment had overshadowed all the positivity. However, Anoushey emerged stronger, recognizing that people can only affect us if we are insecure about those aspects ourselves. She learned to love her voice and went on to become a successful radio show host, connecting with thousands globally.
Anoushey’s wise words offered solace and guidance to the user.

Barzakh’s LGBTQ Storyline Draws Heated Reactions from Pakistani Viewers
The latest series “Barzakh,” starring Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, has ignited significant controversy among Pakistani viewers. The show, which delves into complex themes and relationships, is facing criticism for its perceived promotion of LGBTQ+ narratives and characters. Many viewers argue that “Barzakh” contradicts traditional Pakistani values and Islamic teachings, claiming that the series subtly incorporates LGBTQ+ elements that are deemed inappropriate for its audience.
Furthermore, critics have expressed their disapproval, with some labelling it as a disturbing departure from cultural norms. One user commented on the controversy, stating, “This is the second Fawad Khan project associated with this controversy. First ‘Kapoor and Sons,’ now this. I’m no longer a fan. Shame on everyone involved and those promoting it.” Another viewer voiced concerns about the show’s themes, saying, “I’m reporting this drama. It portrays things that go against our values. We are not a community that seeks Allah’s displeasure. Goodbye to this drama.” A third comment questioned the necessity of LGBTQ+ references, asking, “If you think this is a masterpiece, ask yourself why LGBTQ+ references are needed in Pakistani dramas. What are they trying to normalize? And spare me the talk about catering to an international audience.”
Besides this, supporters argue that the series is an opportunity to explore and discuss various social issues, including LGBTQ+ rights, which are often underrepresented in Pakistani media. As the backlash intensifies, the creators and cast of “Barzakh” are under growing pressure to address these concerns. The situation highlights the challenges of navigating socially sensitive topics in conservative societies.

Losing your iPhone can be a distressing experience, but for users in South Korea, the situation is even more frustrating due to the inoperability of Apple’s ‘Find My’ feature. Whether you bought your iPhone in South Korea or brought it from abroad, you won’t be able to use this crucial feature to locate your lost device or share your location.
Apples Input
Apple’s support forums and official statements suggest that this limitation is due to local laws. However, the Find My support page merely notes, “Location sharing isn’t supported in South Korea and may be unavailable in other regions due to local laws.” This has led to skepticism among users and raised questions about the actual reasons behind the restriction.
Source: Apple Discussion
Interestingly, South Korean tech giant Samsung faces no such constraints with its equivalent location-tracking service, deepening the mystery. Discussions on forums and a petition on the National Assembly Petition website argue against the notion that local laws are the primary cause. Apple’s own responses add to the confusion, with statements indicating that the restriction might stem from internal policy rather than legal requirements.
South Korea’s Law
A key point of contention is South Korea’s law mandating that all location data be stored for six months and be accessible by the government. Apple’s commitment to stringent privacy policies likely conflicts with this requirement. Yet, the law theoretically applies to South Korea’s outlying territories, where Find My reportedly works, further muddying the waters.
Despite the disabling of Find My, other Apple apps like Photos and Fitness still record location data from network and Wi-Fi details. This inconsistency has not gone unnoticed. In June 2024, South Korea fined Apple $150,000, suspecting the company of continuing to track location data despite the Find My restriction.
Source: Reddit
This isn’t the first clash between Apple and South Korean authorities over precise location data. In 2023, Apple sought to export high-precision map data to improve Apple Maps, but the government denied permission, citing security concerns.
Apple Airtags
South Korean users are understandably frustrated, especially since Apple’s online store in South Korea sells AirTags, which are meant to be used with the Find My network. This contradiction underscores the ongoing tension between user expectations, corporate policies, and governmental regulations in the realm of digital privacy and security.
In summary, the disabling of Apple’s Find My feature in South Korea serves as a reminder of the complex interplay between technology, privacy, and local regulations. As digital privacy concerns continue to evolve, users must stay informed and prepared for such regional discrepancies.
