Hafeez Challenges PCB’s Choice for Foreign Coaches: Alleges Nepotism

hafeez-criticizes-pcb-for-foreign-coaches

Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez has raised eyebrows over the selection of foreign coaches for the national men’s cricket team, calling it into question during an interview with a local news channel.

Hafeez, who recently served as the team’s director for a brief stint, expressed his reservations, arguing that it’s unfair to accuse local coaches of nepotism.

Reflecting on his own experience, he highlighted his qualifications as a level-one coach and emphasized the importance of considering the vast experience gained from international cricket.

“The process of my removal as director of cricket was unfortunate. I am a qualified level-one coach. Coaching courses are an education but not complete eligibility to become a coach. The experience gained from international cricket is equally valuable,” Hafeez asserted.

During his tenure as Director, Pakistan endured disappointing series losses in Australia and New Zealand, leading to Hafeez’s subsequent removal from the role.

Responding to allegations made by former PCB chairman Najam Sethi regarding nepotism among local coaches, Hafeez expressed disappointment. He refuted the claims and defending the integrity of Pakistani cricket legends.

“I strongly disagree with the statements made by the former PCB chairman. It is unjust to tarnish the reputation of esteemed former players. Pakistan has got legends of cricket who are admired by the rest of the world,” Hafeez remarked.

“This is a slavish mindset of PCB that only a foreign coach should be appointed, overlooking the potential and capabilities of local talent. There’s no evidence to suggest that local coaches engage in nepotism or favouritism.”

As the PCB prepares to announce the coaching staff for the Pakistan men’s team, reports suggest that former South African batter Gary Kirsten and ex-Australian pacer Jason Gillespie are set to assume roles as white-ball and red-ball head coaches, respectively.

Meanwhile, Pakistan finds itself trailing 2-1 in the ongoing five-match T20I series against New Zealand, following a defeat in the fourth T20I.

Pakistan head coach Azhar Mahmood has defended young batter Usman Khan despite failures following the national team’s narrow defeat against New Zealand in the fourth T20I of the series.

Reflecting on the match, Mahmood addressed areas of concern after Pakistan fell short by just four runs in their chase against New Zealand.

Despite a valiant effort by all-rounder Imad Wasim in the final over, Pakistan couldn’t overhaul the target set by the visitors, finishing on 174/8 in pursuit of New Zealand’s 178/7.

The defeat marked Pakistan’s second loss in the five-match T20I series, effectively dashing their hopes of clinching the series victory even with a win in the final match.

Speaking after the game, Mahmood came to Usman Khan’s defence, highlighting the batter’s intent despite limited success in the series so far.

Despite managing only 28 runs in three innings, Khan showcased promising signs, particularly in terms of intent, according to Mahmood.

“We always emphasize the importance of showing intent. Usman Khan demonstrated that today, displaying some impressive strokes. Although he didn’t achieve the desired results, his intent was commendable,” Mahmood remarked.

Mahmood acknowledged Pakistan’s superiority in various facets of the game compared to New Zealand but identified certain areas for improvement moving forward.

“There were a few positives for us as we scored more boundaries than New Zealand. We also bowled more dot balls but they just took more doubles than us. These are areas of concern for us and we’re constantly working on it,” Mahmood noted.

Looking ahead to the T20 World Cup scheduled in the West Indies and the USA from June 1, Mahmood expressed confidence in Pakistan’s squad composition, affirming that they have a clear idea of their best playing XI.

Despite facing a few setbacks due to injuries, Mahmood concluded on a positive note, stating that Pakistan’s squad is well-equipped for the upcoming tournament.

“As we finalize our preparations for the World Cup, we’re ensuring that we have every base covered. While injuries have posed some challenges, we’re optimistic about the depth and versatility of our squad,” Mahmood concluded.

Asim Azhar Sudden Disappearance From Instagram Shocks Everyone

Asim Azhar Instagram

It’s a great thing to go on a social media purge every now and then. Asim Azhar, a renowned Pakistani singer, has removed all content from his account and has unfollowed everyone. Could this indicate a reinvention of the star? release of a new album? or a sign he’s going through something?

Asim Azhar Account

After making his account match one of a ghost, with no profile photo left either, he posted a story. On a black background he wrote, “To find yourself, you must lose yourself.” As if Asim bidding farewell to Instagram was not shady enough, the statement shared shortly after has made fans more curious. Everyone is anticipating what is next in store for him, or any hints for what he’s up to.

If what he posted indicates something, why is Asim on a journey to find himself? What could have pushed him to do this? And if he believes he must lose himself, then why? and also, how?

Asim Azhar and Merub Ali

A lot of fans are speculating that this has something to do with Asim Azhar’s engagement with Merub back in 2022. Merub is a rising Pakistani actress and has recently joined the television industry. The two of them announced their engagement with lively photographs. Since then, they have shared photos with each other from time to time, mostly at public events.

The two are truly a match made in heaven, and according to Merub, their engagement was destined to happen. Which is why Asim’s behavior is that much more concerning. By any chance, fans are wondering, has something happened between the two, and if so when will we get the news?

For now, we wish the Jo Tu Na Mila singer good health and prosperity. It’s important to understand that stars have a life of their own, aside from their career, in which they struggle and need their space.

Saba Faisal’s Views on Sons Bringing ‘Security’ Spark Controversy

Saba Faisal

In recent news, Saba Faisal is currently being called out for her ignorant and misogynistic statement regarding sons. After the actress Saba mentioned that only sons bring you a sense of security, regardless of their presence, women in the industry have spoken against it. Starting with Hira Khan, a fellow actress, who was quick to share her disapproval on social media. 

Saba Faisal recently shared her sister’s narrative. Her younger sister had always enjoyed not having a son, given the difficulty of raising boys. Later, her husband passed away, and her daughters moved abroad for education. Having an empty nest, Saba’s sister struggled and at one point called Saba crying and shared how she felt alone and unprotected.

Given this, Saba said, “She was all alone, why? Because only sons bring you a sense of protection even when they are not physically there”.

Drama and Backlash Faced By Saba Faisal

Hira Khan was quick to condemn her statement. She took it to Instagram and stated, ” Stunned by the audacity and stupidity.”

Sadia Faisal, Saba’s daughter, jumped to her mother’s defense. She reshared what Hira Khan had to say, and added, “Everyone has a right to speak whatever he/she wants! And I’m stunned by your words! Have some respect for senior artists in your own industry. Thank you.”

Consequently, things quickly escalated and Hira Khan clapped back. She brought forward a prominent issue. “In a country where newborn babies are killed just because they aren’t boys, where women are already considered a burden, it’s not okay for someone as big as Saba Ji to come and say things like these,” she maintained. She then also added that her opinions come from a place of respect.

To clear the air, Sadia added, “You’re taking it out of context. What she meant had nothing to do with whatever you said! Peace please.”

To conclude the online feud, Saba herself weighed into this and said to Hira, “It takes a lifetime experience to understand this.”

Is Sapphire Facing Criticism Over Its Recent Sale?

Sapphire

The number one selling brand, Sapphire, is currently being accused of lying to its customers. The store announced on Facebook, a sale with up to 50 % off, which will soon end. The post dated 28th April and also shared the precise time of 04:00 pm for when the sale would hit their website.

Sapphire’s sales have a history of utmost anticipation. From endless queues to overcrowded stores that mostly end in some sort of snatching, from women fighting over the last piece of their favorite article to the sales staff’s exhaustion and confusion, no one does it like Sapphire.

It seems they’ve outdone themselves this time around. Because shortly after they declared HALF OFF, the website just didn’t work. You must be thinking why? Well as of now many support the theory that this was an elaborate scheme pulled off by the brand.

Customers’ Response to the Sapphire ‘Scam’

Consequently, and very obviously enough, everyone is upset. Most shared that the website’s cart wasn’t working. Everything they selected seemed to just not go into the cart, causing most of their selected items to just sell out. No matter how many times customers reloaded the website, or switched devices, the matter remained. Moreover, it was the same case for everyone. Making it look like an innate issue with the website itself. Beyond that, the prices didn’t drop much, let alone 50%. Causing us to wonder, was there truly a sale to begin with?

Pak Suzuki’s Voluntary Delisting Approved By PSX

Pak Suzuki Motor Company, a prominent name in Pakistan’s automotive industry, has recently made a pivotal decision that has sparked discussions within the business community. The company’s board of directors has greenlit the voluntary delisting of Pak Suzuki from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). This move, fueled by persistent losses and the absence of dividend payouts to shareholders, signals a strategic shift in the company’s trajectory.

Into Pak Suzuki’s Performance

The announcement, made public via a notification to the PSX, underscores the company’s intent to repurchase shares from the general public. This endeavor, to determine the share price for buyback, is planned to be conducted in consultation with regulatory bodies like the SECP and the PSX. The decision resonates with Pak Suzuki’s commitment to navigate its financial challenges proactively.

While the third quarter of 2023 showcased a notable net profit of Rs3.80 billion, a marked improvement from the preceding year’s loss, the broader financial picture reveals a more nuanced narrative. Despite the turnaround attributed to factors such as increased car prices and heightened sales volumes, Pak Suzuki reported a substantial net loss of Rs5.87 billion for the first nine months of 2023. This figure, more than double the previous year’s loss, underscores the persistent challenges facing the company.

Suzuki’s Vision for Pakistan

The rationale behind the delisting decision lies in the company’s quest for operational sustainability and shareholder value enhancement. With dividends remaining elusive for shareholders since 2019, except for a solitary payout in 2021, coupled with a languishing share price, Pak Suzuki’s board sees delisting as a strategic imperative. The move aligns with the majority shareholder’s vision to consolidate ownership and steer the company towards a more stable financial trajectory.

Despite the delisting decision, Pak Suzuki reaffirms its long-term commitment to the Pakistani market. Suzuki Motor Corporation, the majority shareholder, remains bullish on Pakistan’s future potential, underscoring its strategic importance within Suzuki’s global footprint.

Future Trajectory

Analysts, while acknowledging the positive upturn in Pak Suzuki’s third-quarter performance, emphasize the need for sustained efforts to bolster operational efficiencies. Sunny Kumar, a Topline Research analyst, highlights the significance of higher-than-anticipated gross margins in driving the positive momentum. These insights underscore the intricate balance between operational optimization and strategic decision-making within Pak Suzuki’s corporate framework.

As Pak Suzuki embarks on this transformative journey, navigating the intricacies of delisting and shareholder engagement, the broader automotive landscape awaits with anticipation. The company’s strategic pivot underscores the imperative of adaptability and foresight in navigating volatile market dynamics, setting a precedent for corporate resilience during adversity.

If You Love Junk Food, There Maybe Bad News For You

Source: Medical Survey

In the subject of health consciousness, the cons of junk food consumption have long been documented. From cardiovascular risks to obesity, the detrimental effects on the body are well-established. However, emerging research now sheds light on a concerning aspect: the impact of high-fat, sugary diets on brain health, particularly memory function.

A recent study, spearheaded by neuroscientist Scott Kanoski and his team at the University of Southern California, dived into the lasting repercussions of junk food consumption on memory in rats. Feeding these rodents a diet rich in simple sugars and saturated fats from a young age, like human adolescence. The researchers uncovered enduring memory impairments that persisted into adulthood.

Disrupted Neurotransmitters

Central to this phenomenon is the disruption of acetylcholine, a critical neurotransmitter implicated in memory and learning processes. The consumption of unhealthy, processed foods appears to hinder acetylcholine function, leading to enduring memory deficits akin to those observed in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

While the study’s findings are derived from animal models, parallels to human health are striking. Research linking Western-style diets to Alzheimer’s risk underscores the relevance of these findings to human populations. Moreover, the study highlights the potential long-term consequences of early-life dietary habits on cognitive function in adulthood.

Dietary Awareness

As the evidence mounts, a call for dietary awareness becomes ever more urgent. The prevalence of Western diets laden with sugary, fatty foods poses a significant threat to brain health, with implications extending beyond physical well-being. By understanding the intricate interplay between diet and brain function, individuals can make informed choices to safeguard cognitive vitality.

Future Directions

While the study offers crucial insights, unresolved questions linger. Variances in timing and gender underscore the complexities of dietary influence on brain function. Further research is found to exclude these nuances.

In navigating the junk food dilemma, the study serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of dietary choices on brain health. As we reveal the mechanisms underlying these effects, fostering a culture of dietary consciousness becomes paramount. Ultimately, it’s not just our bodies at stake, but the very essence of our cognitive vitality.

What To Expect From Imad Wasim’s Likely Comeback In Fourth New Zealand T20I?

Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim is likely to make his anticipated return to international cricket in the fourth T20I against New Zealand today.

Last year, Wasim announced his retirement from international cricket, but his subsequent reversal, along with Mohammad Amir, has injected fresh vigour into Pakistan’s lineup ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Wasim, alongside Fakhar Zaman, is set to make his first appearance in the series, bolstering Pakistan’s batting and bowling arsenals after being sidelined for the initial three T20Is.

Pakistan team management faced massive criticism for resting Imad Wasim in the earlier games. Fans and former cricketers believe that Amir and Wasim should get maximum matches before the T20 World Cup after coming out of retirement.

However, all-rounder Shadab Khan defended the decision and hinted at Wasim’s potential inclusion in the last two games against New Zealand in a press conference after the third game.

“It was part of the rotation policy. Management had already talked to all the players. So according to the rotation policy, Imad Wasim might get a game now,” Shadab Khan said.

Imad Wasim’s presence will add balance to Pakistan’s lineup, thanks to his dynamic performance with the bat and the ball.

The 35-year-old all-rounder has represented Pakistan in 66 T20Is and scored 486 runs along with 65 wickets.

Meanwhile, several other changes are also expected in the playing XI for the fourth match with captain Babar Azam and Saim Ayub to retain their position as the opening batters.

In the absence of Mohammad Rizwan, who continues to grapple with a hamstring injury, Usman Khan is poised to take on wicketkeeping duties, slotting in at number three.

Meanwhile, Fakhar Zaman is set to occupy the number four position, adding firepower to Pakistan’s middle order.

The team management’s decision to rest Naseem Shah underscores their commitment to optimizing performance, with Usama Mir stepping in to bolster the squad.

The pace bowling department remains formidable, spearheaded by the trio of Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, and Abbas Afridi. Notably, Amir returns to action after being rested for the third T20I, adding depth and experience to Pakistan’s bowling attack.

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.

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.
