Will Mohammad Rizwan Be Available For Ireland Tour?

will-mohammad-rizwan-available-for-ireland-tour

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam will be without his trusted partner, wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan, for the final two T20Is against New Zealand.

Rizwan’s absence due to a hamstring injury leaves a void in the team’s lineup, adding to their challenges in the ongoing series.

During the third T20I clash against New Zealand, Rizwan experienced discomfort in his hamstring, prompting concerns about his fitness.

Following thorough medical assessments and consultation with the PCB Medical Panel, it was decided that Rizwan and emerging batter Irfan Khan would be rested for the upcoming matches.

Considering the nature of the injury, there are looming concerns over Rizwan’s participation in the upcoming series against Ireland, starting on 10 May.

Reacting to Rizwan’s injury, skipper Babar Azam expressed the team’s sentiments, acknowledging the significance of Rizwan’s contributions to Pakistan cricket.

Despite the setback, Babar remains optimistic about Rizwan’s recovery, hoping that he will be fit for the series against Ireland.

“Whenever a main player gets injured, a team misses him. The way he has served Pakistan and performances he has produced are in front of everyone,” Babar said in a presser ahead of the fourth T20I.

Babar Azam reassured fans that the team is committed to the rehabilitation of Rizwan, aiming for his timely return to the squad.

“It is not a major injury and we are trying to save him as much as we can. He will undergo rehabilitation at the NCA and I am confident he will get fit before the Ireland series,” he added.

Notably, Mohammad Rizwan is the third player to be ruled out of the Pakistan team due to injury in the ongoing series. Rizwan and Irfan Khan’s injury blow followed Azam Khan’s earlier withdrawal from the series due to injury.

Azam’s setback was compounded by a Grade One tear in his right calf muscle, necessitating a period of rest and sidelining him for the initial matches.

With the series against New Zealand finely poised at 1-1, Pakistan faces the challenge of regrouping without key players.

The fighting game community (FGC) has been buzzing with excitement as EVO Japan 2024 approaches. This prestigious tournament, known for its electrifying matches and global participation, is set to take place at the Ariake GYM-EX in Tokyo. However, there’s a somber note—the absence of Pakistani players due to visa issues. In this blog post, we delve into the details, explore the impact, and celebrate the resilience of our champions.

The EVO Japan Legacy

EVO Japan is part of the Evolution Championship Series (EVO), the longest-running fighting game tournament in history. Players from around the world gather to compete, showcasing their honed skills and battling for the championship title. EVO Japan continues this legacy, drawing enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Denied Champions Of Pakistan

Arslan Ash, a name synonymous with Tekken excellence, and the defending Tekken 7 champion, has secured the EVO title four times—twice in Japan and twice in the USA. His mastery of the game and unwavering dedication have made him a global icon. Yet, despite his accolades, Arslan faces an unexpected hurdle—visa issues preventing him from participating in EVO Japan 2024.

Arslan Ash won’t be the sole absentee from Pakistan. Atif Butt, hailing from Lahore, and Awais Honey from Gujranwala, also miss the high-profile event. Their reasons vary—Atif Butt’s visa application was rejected, while Awais Honey lost his passport in Thailand, rendering him unable to attend. Other notable Pakistani players to miss out on the tournament include; Qasim Meer, Hafiz Tanveer, The JON, Bilal and KHAN.

The Impact On EVO Japan

The absence of Pakistani representation casts a shadow over EVO Japan. Arslan Ash’s absence leaves a void in the Tekken community, where he has consistently raised the bar. Fans had hoped to witness his legendary Azucena gameplay, but fate had other plans.

Arslan Ash and the other Pakistani players remains undeterred. He expressed gratitude to his peers who supported him during the visa application process. Instead of dwelling on setbacks, he sets his sights on EVO US, scheduled for July. The fighting game community rallies behind him, cheering for his triumphs and empathizing with his challenges.

As EVO Japan unfolds, we celebrate the spirit of competition and the resilience of champions. Arslan Ash’s and the other’s absence serves as a reminder of the complexities faced by esports athletes. Let’s hope for smoother visa processes in the future, allowing players to showcase their skills on the grandest stages.

Pakistan team management is contemplating changes in the batting order, positioning Mohammad Rizwan at number four, however, captain Babar Azam is against the proposed change.

In the wake of the disheartening loss to New Zealand, the Pakistan team management is exploring options to revamp the batting order.

With uncertainty surrounding Rizwan’s availability due to injury, Usman Khan and Fakhar Zaman emerge as potential candidates for the number three spot.

Fakhar Zaman has yet to feature in the ongoing series, while Usman Khan has managed 12 runs across two innings, batting at number four.

While awaiting scan results to determine Rizwan’s fitness, the management deliberates on potential positional adjustments.

Despite the prospect of Rizwan’s return, questions arise regarding his optimal batting position given his recent form. The management is considering to reposition him at number four in the batting order.

The wicketkeeper batter has faced massive criticism in recent times for his slow batting in the powerplay, taking too many balls and leaving too much to achieve for the lower-order batters.

However, Babar Azam is completely behind Rizwan, voicing his dissent to management’s proposed change. Babar is a strong advocate of Rizwan to maintain his position at the top of the order.

Rizwan himself expressed reservations about the proposed change, considering his strong track record as a top-order batsman in T20Is.

Humayun Saeed And Saboor Aly Under Fire – Here’s What Happened

Humayun saeed and saboor ali

Pakistani superstars, Humayun Saeed and Saboor Aly are receiving heavy criticism after their cozy behavior and inappropriate interaction caught recently. These mainstream actors met recently at Yasir Hussain’s stage play, and a video leaked. Fans haven’t been able to stop talking about it since then.

Here’s the video

Humayun Saeed and Saboor Aly’s Interaction

At the star-studded event of the stage play “Jaan E Jaan,” Saboor Aly shared a warm exchange with Humayun Saeed. According to most fans, the meet-up was a bit too warm. After spotting each other from across, he greeted her with a tight hug. But that’s not all. The tight embrace was followed by a friendly kiss, all captured by social media. The comfortable interaction between them is creating a crazy buzz online.

As with every little movement by celebrities, this video too is being heavily scrutinised. From their attitude to their dressing, every detail is being criticized. Critics are pointing out how Humayun Saeed and Saboor Aly are displaying inappropriate closeness in public. Especially considering they are both happily married. Or do we assume?

Fans are upset by their bold behavior and are also expressing disappointment in Saboor Aly’s husband, Pakistani actor Ali Ansari. Unfortunately, after this particular incident, the actors are being labeled as celebrities who are lacking grace and decency. Humayun Saeed’s fans particularly hold him accountable in the comments section of this video.

As of now, neither have had anything to say. As does most gossip, we’re assuming that this time again they won’t say much, and everyone will eventually forget this and move on to the next thing.

It is vital to mention here, that many believe otherwise. For them, it is nothing less than a friendly interaction between two colleagues, who have known each other for a while.

Atif Aslam Viral Hug: The Dark Side Of Fan Culture

Atif Aslam On stage

More than often, die-hard fans lose all rationale and pull off the craziest stunts to grab their favorite stars’ attention. Particularly during concerts, we see news of the most random items being propelled onto the stage while they perform. Atif Aslam is the most celebrated singer in Pakistan. Currently, he is being praised for his exuberant behavior after a fan climbed up on stage as he was performing.

In between tour dates, Atif is currently visiting Bangladesh and will later stop by Nepal. It was nothing short of a heartfelt moment when Atif was singing ‘Dama Dam Mast Kalandar’. A renowned and very popular Sufi song in South Asia. During his outstanding performance, a fan broke barriers and climbed the stage.

How Atif Aslam Responded To The Situation

Though the details of what happened after this female fan made it to the stage, it’s safe to say that nothing about this was appropriate. It is appalling to see the encouragement of this type of behavior.

As a respectful and professional individual, it was no surprise that he responded kindly and calmly. However, had the roles been reversed, the public would certainly have reacted very differently. Moreover, if Atif had expressed his discomfort in the situation, he would have faced backlash and accusations for not being humble or appreciative of his fans.

From security footage and fan-recorded clips, we see the music phenomena hug his fan back. Unfortunately enough. It is public knowledge that no performer appreciates their stage being invaded, and no person likes the same for their personal space. We can’t imagine how Atif might have felt given his introverted nature and the general distance that he prefers from female fans.

After a brief chit-chat though, the fan was shifted off the stage and no one was harmed.

MG Shocks The World With Its Electric Beast

Source: Car Magazine

With the excitement building around the 2024 Auto China show in Beijing, MG has thrown down a surprise with its EXE181, an electric hypercar that not only promises breathtaking aesthetics but also performance metrics that could shake the foundations of current land speed records.

Futuristic design

The EXE181, drawing inspiration from a 1959 concept, embodies a futuristic design with its teardrop shape and ultra-low drag coefficient of 0.181, making it one of the most aerodynamically efficient vehicles to date. This figure narrowly surpasses the drag coefficient of Volkswagen’s XL1 but trails behind the historical benchmarks set by concept cars like the 2022 Mercedes Vision EQXX and the 2000 General Motors Precept.

MG's Insane New Electric Hypercar Can Go From 0-100 KM/h in Less Than 2 Seconds

Positioned aggressively close to the ground, the EXE181’s single-seat monocoque design is reminiscent of the high-concept Vision Gran Turismo cars, blending the lines between  fantasy and tangible automotive advancement. This design is not merely for show; it plays a crucial role in enhancing the car’s aerodynamic properties, allowing it to slice through the air with minimal resistance.

Performance-wise, the MG EXE181 is not just a treat for the eyes but also a beast on the track. It boasts a blistering acceleration time, going from 0 to 62 mph in just 1.9 seconds. This remarkable achievement puts it in the league of some of the fastest production cars in the world, including recent record-setters like the Lucid Air Sapphire and the Rimac Nevera. However, Elon Musk’s claims of a sub-one-second 0 to 60 mph time for the upcoming Tesla Roadster still hangs over the industry like a bold challenge.

Setting New Speed Records?

While MG has kept the lid on the exact top speed of the EXE181, the company hints that it “defies the land speed record,” a nod perhaps to the vehicle’s historical precursor which clocked in at 254.91 mph driven by American racing legend Phill Hill. Such statements set high expectations and stir curiosity about the potential of electric vehicles to dominate speed records traditionally held by combustion engine cars.

MG’s strategic showcase at Auto China is not merely about flaunting technological uniqueness but positioning itself as a leader in the electric vehicle (EV) market, which is increasingly defined by a combination of efficiency, performance, and futuristic design. The EXE181 serves as a bold statement of MG’s ambition and the potential of electric hypercars to redefine the boundaries of automotive engineering and performance.

WhatsApp Offline File Sharing – Here’s What You Need To Know

File Sharing Via Whatsapp
Image Source: Gadgets360

WhatsApp, the go-to messaging app, has been a lifeline for millions of users worldwide. But one persistent limitation has always irked users who use online messaging apps like this—the inability to share media files without an internet connection. Whether you’re in a remote area with spotty reception or dealing with data constraints, this limitation has often caused frustration. However, WhatsApp is about to revolutionize the way we share files. Brace yourselves for a groundbreaking feature: offline file sharing.

The Upcoming Whatsapp Technology

WhatsApp is currently developing a game-changing feature that will allow users to send photos, videos, and documents directly to nearby contacts without an internet connection. Yes, you read that right! No more reliance on cellular networks or Wi-Fi hotspots. Let’s dive into the details of this exciting development.

Image Source: SamsungMobilePress

According to reports, here’s a little glimpse into the potential inner workings of WhatsApp’s upcoming feature. It can be divided into 4 simple steps.

  1. Initiating the Transfer: Imagine tapping on a photo you want to share. Alongside the usual “Send” button, you might see a new option like “Send Offline” or “Share without Internet.”
  2. Finding Nearby Devices: Selecting the offline option could trigger Bluetooth activation on your phone. WhatsApp would then scan for devices with compatible recipients nearby, similar to how some file-sharing apps discover nearby devices using Bluetooth.
  3. Secure File Transmission: Once you choose the recipient’s device, WhatsApp might establish a secure connection. This likely involves encryption to scramble the file during transfer, safeguarding the privacy of your photos, videos, or documents.
  4. Confirmation and Delivery: Upon successful transfer, you’ll probably receive a notification confirming the offline file sharing. The recipient, assuming they’re within Bluetooth range with their device turned on, will also be notified they have received a file offline.

The Benefits And Road Ahead Of The Feature

The introduction of offline file sharing on WhatsApp presents several advantages. First, it offers convenience in limited connectivity areas, benefiting users in regions with poor internet reception or limited data plans. With this feature, they can share photos, videos, and documents seamlessly without worrying about connectivity issues. Secondly, it ensures privacy and security, as files shared through this method will be end-to-end encrypted, just like WhatsApp messages, ensuring that your data remains secure throughout the process.

While WhatsApp’s offline file-sharing feature is still in beta testing, its potential impact is immense! Say goodbye to frustrating situations without the internet. Whether you’re at a family gathering, a remote picnic spot, or a crowded market, sharing memories and important files will soon be as easy as a tap.

WhatsApp continues to evolve, addressing user needs and enhancing connectivity. As this feature rolls out, users can look forward to a more seamless and efficient messaging experience. Keep an eye out for updates, and get ready to share files without boundaries!

Shadab Khan Urges Pakistan Batters to Boost Strike Rate Ahead of T20 World Cup

shadab-khan-urges-pakistan-batters-to-boost-strike-rate

Pakistan’s all-rounder Shadab Khan has sounded a clarion call to the national team’s batters, stressing the importance of improving their strike rate ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Following a significant defeat against New Zealand in the third T20I, questions have arisen regarding Pakistan’s intent and performance, prompting Shadab to address the pressing need for enhancement in their gameplay.

The right-handed all-rounder showed aggressive intent and scored a quick 41 off 20 towards the end helping Pakistan muster a respectable total in the aforementioned match.

Meanwhile, Pakistan captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan faced criticism for their slow batting in the middle overs. They collectively scored a meagre 59 runs in 50 balls.

why-pakistan-lost-to-new-zealand

Reflecting on Pakistan’s recent loss to New Zealand, Shadab Khan acknowledged the exemplary cricket displayed by the opposition.

He emphasized that in international cricket, there are no second-string teams, underlining the importance of consistent performance regardless of the opponent’s perceived experience level.

“There are no surprises in international cricket, nor there is any B or C team, we can say that a team has less experience, but that’s it,” Shadab said.

Stressing the significance of aggressive batting, he highlighted the correlation between boundary-hitting prowess and match-winning prospects.

According to Shadab, the team’s ability to score boundaries will be a determining factor in securing victories against top-tier teams.

why-pakistan-lost-to-new-zealand

“Strike rate is very important and we are trying [to improve it]. We have to play with a good strike rate against big teams. I believe that the team that scores more boundaries in a match has better chances to win,” he added.

Shadab Khan also emphasized the need for clarity regarding players’ roles and batting orders, emphasizing the importance of continuity and consistency in the team’s composition.

“The World Cup is right on the corner, every player should know his role and their batting order, as it is something in talks these days.”

Despite the setback against New Zealand, Shadab expressed confidence in Pakistan’s potential to clinch the World Cup title.

“I believe we have the team that can win the World Cup and we should make the combination that could play with continuity. There are nine more matches [before the World Cup], we should make the combination.”

India Won’t Participate in Champions Trophy 2025 In Pakistan

pakistan-india-champions-trophy-2025-t20-world-cup-boycott-aakash-chopra-on-india-visiting-pakistan-for-champions-trophy

India is once again ready to spoil plans of a full-fledged multi-nation cricket event in Pakistan, as reports indicate that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reluctant to send its team for the Champions Trophy 2025.

The ICC Champions Trophy faces uncertainty as Team India may opt out of travelling to the neighbouring nation, citing political tensions.

Pakistan’s bid to host an international cricket event for the first time since the 1996 World Cup has been met with apprehension from India, casting doubt on the Champions Trophy’s venue.

This decision could potentially lead to a relocation of the event or the implementation of a hybrid model, according to a source within the BCCI.

rohit-sharma-powers-india-to-8-0-over-pakistan-in-world-cup

PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s openness to a bilateral series with India as a trade-off for their participation in the tournament underscores the delicate diplomatic dynamics surrounding cricket between the two nations.

“Look, we will consider options for bilateral series, but our target right now is to host the Champions Trophy and first let India come for the tournament,” Naqvi said.

“Once they come here first then we can look at any proposal whenever it comes before us,” he added.

However, despite recent discussions about a bilateral Test series, India’s reluctance to engage in cricketing ties with Pakistan remains steadfast.

The possibility of India skipping the Champions Trophy altogether reflects the strained relations due to prevailing political tensions.

Sources within the BCCI have indicated that obtaining government permission for travel to Pakistan presents a significant hurdle, particularly given the current state of bilateral relations.

The prospect of a hybrid model or a venue change is being explored as a potential alternative to accommodate India’s concerns.

“Forget bilateral series…Team India may not even travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. There might be a change of venue, a hybrid model is also possible,” a BCCI source said.

“The Indian board would need permission from the government for travel, currently our relations with Pakistan are not that good either,” the source added.

“Champions Trophy is an ICC event, so it would be a tough call for India but nothing without the government’s order/green signal. Bilateral series, I don’t see in the near future, that’s next to impossible.”

India and Pakistan’s cricketing rivalry has been marred by political tensions, with bilateral matches becoming increasingly rare in recent years.

The last Test match between the two sides took place in the 2007/08 season, while their last white-ball series occurred in 2012/13. Instead, encounters are limited to multi-nation events like the Asia Cup and global tournaments.

This Camera Can Turn Pictures Into Soulful AI Poetry

Image Source: poetry.camera

In the age of algorithms and pixels, where technology often distances us from the human touch, a remarkable invention has emerged—a bridge between the digital and the poetic. Meet the Poetry Camera, an enchanting fusion of artificial intelligence (AI) and artistic expression. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the captivating journey behind its creation, explore how it transforms visual snapshots into evocative poems, and discuss why this invention resonates with both tech enthusiasts and lovers of literature.

The Birth Of A Unique Idea

The Poetry Camera began as a passion project. A simple and whimsical idea that sprouted from the minds of Kelin Carolyn Zhang and Ryan Mather. These two visionaries shared a love for both technology and the arts, and their collaboration birthed something truly extraordinary. They envisioned a device that would defy conventions, transcending the boundaries of photography and poetry.

Poetry Camera Closeup

A Polaroid With A Twist?

At first glance, the Poetry Camera resembles a vintage Polaroid camera. But instead of capturing mundane photographs, it performs a magical transformation. When you point it at a scene, be it a bustling street, a serene sunset, or a solitary tree. It doesn’t merely freeze the moment; it interprets it! The Poetry Camera’s lens sees beyond pixels and colors; it perceives emotions, patterns, and hidden stories.

The internal mechanisms of the Poetry Camera combine hardware and AI. The visual input is processed by a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, which also extracts pertinent data from the collected image. The OpenAI GPT-4 model, the device’s brains, receives this data after that. This AI behemoth weaves words, interprets emotions, and analyses composition. What was the outcome? A little piece of paper, similar to a receipt, with a poem on it that captures the scenario eloquently.

Poetry Result
Image Source: techeblog

The Poetry Camera doesn’t digitally save photos or poetry, a decision that Zhang and Mather made on purpose. Why? well for 3 main reasons:

  1. Ease: Storing them is less complicated.
  2. Privacy: They respect privacy by making it transient.
  3. Significance: Every poetry turns into a transient relic, like to a closely guarded secret. It’s gone forever if you lose it.

Why People Love it!

As the Poetry Camera made its debut at social gatherings, reactions were simply amazing! People marveled at the idea of a camera that could generate beautiful poetry. It sparked conversations, ignited imaginations, and reminded us that technology is not only meant to be used for processing and helping but it can create something so magical.

It serves as a different take on a camera that we all are used to. The Poetry Camera adds layers to moments, its not simply just a snapshot, its a whole individual soul. The Poetry Camera is more than an invention; it’s a reminder that creativity thrives at the intersection of art and science. As pixels paint verses, we glimpse the magic that lies within everyday scenes. So, next time you capture a moment, ask yourself: Could this be poetry?

Nazish Jahangir Goes Private Amidst Babar Azam Backlash

Nazish Jahangir

Pakistani television actress, Nazish Jahangir is popular for her roles across multiple popular Urdu drama series. Currently, Nazish Jahangir has turned her Instagram private after receiving backlash for stating she’d turn down Babar Azam’s proposal.

Nazish was answering questions on her Instagram when she came across a question that asked what she would respond with if Pakistan’s 2023 team captain asked for her hand in marriage. Nazish responded with, “I would have to excuse myself,” suggesting her answer would be no.

Here’s what Nazish posted:

nazish jahangir

Since this, Nazish has been getting trolled by Babar Azam fanatics. Which is quite unfortunate given the societal pressure women face. After a certain age, the consistent pressure to get married takes over and later, each person they come across has something to say about their status.

The trolling reached the extent that Nazish felt the need to make her account private to stop some of it. Hence, it is unfortunate to see fans trying to pressure her into changing her opinion about this when it’s only a made-up scenario.

Nazish Jahangir Trolled

Netizens suspect that this was just a publicity attempt. As a repeating occurrence, many actresses use cricketers as a means to gain headlines and a spotlight. Perhaps Nazish was aiming for the same thing?

moreover, another thing many people seemed to point out was Babar being unaware of who Nazish is and what she does. However, its saddening to see that this was said to belittle the actress and make her feel small.

How To Protect Yourself From iPhone Password Reset Attack

Source: PCMag

In an era where cybersecurity threats are ever-present, iPhone users find themselves increasingly targeted through sophisticated methods known as password reset and MFA (multi-factor authentication) bombing attacks. These attacks, often overwhelming users with nonstop notifications and calls, aim to exploit users to gain unauthorized access to devices.

Understanding the Threat

Often referred to as fatigue attacks, these hacking attempts flood your iPhone with relentless Apple ID password reset prompts. This tactic not only disrupts usability but also seeks to wear down the user’s vigilance. Highlighting a case study an iPhone user recounted an experience where his device became nearly inoperable due to these unending notifications.

The assault intensifies when the attacker appraoches as an Apple representative. Leveraging spoofed phone numbers that appear legitimate, these con-employees present themselves convincingly, using personal details skimmed from the internet to boost their credibility. Such tactics can deceive even the most discerning individuals, leading them to involuntarily compromise their own security.

Proactive Measures to Avoid Being Compromised

  1. Question the legitimacy of these calls: Always be skeptical of such calls, even if they appear to come from a familiar company like Apple. Remember, Apple typically does not initiate calls to address issues without a prior request from the customer. If you receive such a call, hang up, and dial the official customer service number yourself to verify any claims made.
  2. Be cautious with password reset prompts: If bombarded with password reset notifications, consistently select “Don’t Allow.” These notifications, although they mimic official alerts, are often tactics employed by attackers to trick you into compromising your device.
  3. Modify contact information judiciously: As a measure of last resort, consider changing the phone number associated with your Apple ID to stop the onslaught of notifications. Be aware, though, this could temporarily disrupt services like iMessage and FaceTime.

Educate Yourself and Stay Updated
