Can Usman Khan Still Represent For Pakistan?

In the electrifying atmosphere of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9, one name has emerged as a standout performer – Usman Khan.

The Multan Sultans’ batter has set the tournament ablaze with his sensational form, notching up two centuries and garnering attention from cricket enthusiasts across Pakistan.

However, amidst the fervour surrounding his stellar performances, a cloud of uncertainty looms over Usman’s future in international cricket.

Despite calls from fans for his inclusion in Pakistan’s T20 squad, reports suggest that national selectors are hesitant to consider him, citing his recent move to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Born in Karachi in May 1995, Usman Khan’s cricketing journey took an unexpected turn when financial constraints led him to relocate to the UAE.

In the Emirates, he showcased his talent, excelling as a wicketkeeper-batsman and establishing himself as a top performer in domestic cricket.

While Usman’s prowess on the field is undeniable, his eligibility to represent Pakistan has sparked debate. Although he fulfils the criteria outlined in the International Cricket Council’s Player Eligibility Regulations, his status as a foreign player in the PSL has raised questions about his inclusion in the national team.

Usman’s case presents a unique conundrum, with the cricketer torn between two allegiances. On one hand, he has the opportunity to represent his birth country, Pakistan, where he honed his skills and began his cricketing journey.

On the other hand, he owes a debt of gratitude to the UAE, which provided him with opportunities and support during his time of need.

Usman Khan has applied to be eligible for UAE’s cricket team, but if he decides to represent Pakistan, he needs to give up the opportunity to play for his second home.

The right-handed batter has scored 337 runs in five matches during the ongoing PSL 9, including two centuries. He is only the second batter after Kamran Akmal to score three PSL centuries.

Mike Hesson, the head coach of Islamabad United, has weighed in on the talent and potential of hard-hitting batter Azam Khan.

Hesson called the young batter a special talent but also pointed out that he is not a finished product yet and there is a lot of work that needs to be done.

The former New Zealand coach commended the exceptional abilities of Azam Khan but emphasized that the young cricketer still has room for improvement.

“Azam [Khan] is a special talent. But there is more work to be done since he is still not a finished product. If he brings more consistency, every team in the world will pick him,” Hesson said while talking to a local news channel.

Hesson acknowledged Azam’s versatility in attacking both spinners and pacers, highlighting his unique skill set.

“He can attack both spinners and pacers. He has the ability that very few have,” he said.

While expressing his admiration for the cricketing talent in Pakistan, Hesson also noted the formidable spin-bowling talent showcased in the PSL. He suggested that Pakistan should focus on nurturing power hitters to enhance their T20 cricketing arsenal.

A Glimpse Into The Future: Pakistan’s Largest IT Park

There is excitement all around the nation in response to the unveiling of the IT park project in Islamabad. The massive 3.3-acre park to be developed in Sector G-10 of the capital, which already serves as a hub for hundreds of startups, software companies, and freelancers, is envisioned to be a center for creativity.

The park, with its state-of-the-art amenities including a library, exhibition areas, and dedicated spaces for conferences and research, is expected to play a significant role in Pakistan’s digital economy. An impressive covered area of 0.1 Million square feet is estimated to accommodate around 5 to 6 thousand freelancers!

A Public-Private Partnership Model

The up and coming IT park will serve as an example of the Public-Private Partnership model’s collaborative model. Initially, the cost of the construction will be borne by private organizations and companies, which will also be able to lease space from the park to set up their personal IT offices. Later on, after a period of 1.5 decades, the ownership will fall under the hands of the Capital Development Authority (CDA) completely. It is anticipated that this strategy would stimulate the economy and lead to the development of jobs in the technology industry.

Not only is it an important first step towards building a thriving network of IT parks throughout Pakistan, but is also essential for the digital transformation of the nation.

The Impact On Pakistan’s Tech Industry

The IT park’s growth is set to significantly impact Pakistan’s tech sector, aiming to expand the sector by attracting foreign investment and creating job opportunities for the youth. Moreover, the park is set to foster a culture of research and development, positioning Pakistan as a key player in the global innovation economy.

In a bid to bolster Pakistan cricket’s coaching setup, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is eyeing former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson for the role of head coach.

Reports suggest that the PCB is willing to offer Watson an annual salary of $2 million, which equates to roughly PKR 4.6 crore per month, potentially making him the highest-paid coach in Pakistan’s cricket history.

While the lucrative offer is on the table, sources close to Watson indicate hesitancy on his part to accept the position. Concerns over prolonged separation from his family may deter Watson from committing to the role.

Amidst this uncertainty, other notable contenders for the coaching position include Mike Hesson and Daren Sammy. Hesson currently serves as the head coach for Islamabad United, while Sammy holds a similar role with Peshawar Zalmi.

The PCB, under the leadership of Mohsin Naqvi, is determined to assemble a formidable coaching staff for the national team. However, the task of securing well-known coaches poses challenges, given their existing commitments to various leagues worldwide.

In light of the urgency to fill the coaching vacancy ahead of the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand, the PCB is exploring options to appoint a combination of local coaches and foreign consultants.

Notably, the position of head coach of Pakistan has been vacant since PCB decided to sack Grant Bradburn, who served in the role under team director Mickey Arthur.

Arthur was replaced by Mohammad Hafeez, but the position of head coach remained vacant as Hafeez preferred specialized batting and bowling coaches.

The campaign featured a collection of kids, encompassing a young boy using a wheelchair and another boy with albinism. Additionally, they incorporated children of various skin tones, breaking away from the conventional portrayal of only fair and rosy complexions. It appropriately underscores that children with disabilities not only are present but also rightfully belong alongside their peers. Meanwhile, fulfilling the notion of let the kids be kids and refrain from excessively making over their entire looks for the sake of campaigns.

While seeking assistance from the public to locate and bring back the children who disappeared from outside their residence in the vicinity of North Nazimabad.

The videos of the kid’s statement later went viral on social media where they shared that they left their house voluntarily due to mistreatment from their maternal side of the family.

“We left home voluntarily. We stayed the night at our uncle and aunt’s residence. Our maternal grandmother and aunt subjected us to verbal abuse and assigned cleaning tasks,” he explained.

Here’s HEC’s Revised Institutional Affiliation Policy 2024

By
Usman Kashmirwala
-

The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has entered a new era for Degree Awarding Institutions (DAIs) with the rollout of its revised ‘HEC Institutional Affiliation Policy-2024.’ This move aims to streamline the affiliation process and ensure quality standards across the board.

Online Portal for Data Collection

One of the key highlights of the revised policy is the introduction of an online portal. This portal serves as a centralized platform for affiliating DAIs to submit data for soft desk review and subsequent authorization to proceed. By leveraging technology, the HEC aims to enhance efficiency and transparency in the affiliation process.

Affiliating DAIs are tasked with ensuring the seamless implementation of the new policy at their respective affiliated colleges. From admissions and examinations to curriculum development, adherence to the revised guidelines is paramount. This proactive approach ensures consistency and standardization in educational practices.

Re-evaluation of Affiliated Colleges

As part of the transition to the new policy, already affiliated colleges and institutions are subject to re-evaluation. The data of these institutions must be uploaded onto the designated portal within six months. Failure to comply with this timeline may result in the cancellation of affiliation. This rigorous evaluation process emphasizes on HEC’s commitment to upholding academic excellence.

While the HEC sets overarching guidelines, it is imperative for colleges seeking affiliations to abide by the rules and regulations of their respective administrative ministries or departments. This collaborative approach ensures alignment with broader educational objectives while maintaining autonomy at the institutional level.

Recognition of Degrees

The HEC emphasizes the importance of compliance with the revised policy. Degrees issued by non-compliant institutions risk not being recognized by the Commission’s Accreditation and Attestation Division. This underscores the significance of adherence to quality standards to safeguard the value of educational credentials.

The HEC’s revamped Institutional Affiliation Policy innitiates a new chapter in Pakistan’s higher education landscape. By fostering accountability, transparency, and quality assurance, this initiative aims to elevate the standard of education and empower institutions to thrive in an ever-evolving global landscape.

Why Do Ramadan Game Shows Promote Materialism And Greed?

By
Mahnoor Rashid
-

Be it Fahad Mustafa’s ” Jeeto Pakistan ” or Shehryar Munawar’s ” Khel Kay Jeet”, Pakistan’s Ramadan game shows are known widely for their lavish gifts and their somewhat comedic challenges. Arguably the most watched show in the country, Jeeto Pakistan, has recently downsized its gifts and advertisement. The post-iftar show’s host explained how the inflation rates have made it impossible to play 50 tola ( approx. 600 grams ) of gold every day. Despite this, the show still broke records.

Though these shows are good-natured, a question about their moral integrity arises. Is it not gambling to purchase a ticket, expecting to go home with gifts worth double the price? Moreover, it seems that the challenges that contestants have to endure to win are slightly embarrassing. More than often the hots of such segments have been called out for their lack of empathy.

Omair Rana’s Opinions on Ramadan Game Shows

Renowned actor and theatre director, Omair Rana, brought his opinions about these shows to light. Having participated in a Ramadan drama, Chand Nagar, himself the Omair stressed that the show should have at least some relevance to the holy month.

Respected for his many television appearances, Omair commented on how these shows tend to leave a bitter aftertaste. He criticized how they seem to promote gluttony and greed and have nothing to do with Ramadan.

In an interview on YouTube, Omair quoted,

“I am glad that we can do good comedy but somewhere, subliminally, contextually, there must be a Ramazan element and relevance ”

The actor shared more about his learned experience from theatre training. Often, he believes, you come across roles that aren’t properly communicated to you, in a time like that Omair explains it is very common to feel stuck. He suggests game show hosts should have a thorough look at the scripts beforehand and incorporate more elements of Ramadan into that show instead of just comedy.

“You know you’re entering your mother’s show business profession and I don’t want you to inadvertently bring shame to the family. ”

Regardless, Amar wishes her father and his family well. The television actress elaborated that she holds no grudges nor any hard feelings.

She addresses an important matter, a difference of opinion. Frieha said that though there is still shame around this field of work, some people are just “stuck” and can’t understand.

Harding’s Final Communication

Harding, known for his ventures into the deepest realms of the ocean, had previously set records with explorations such as the Mariana Trench. His enthusiasm for pushing the boundaries of exploration was evident in his correspondence with Colonel Virts, who attested to Harding’s thorough understanding of the risks involved in such endeavors.

Dr. Dale Molé, a respected authority in undersea medicine and radiation health, provided insight into the sudden and catastrophic nature of the Titan’s implosion. The tragedy unfolded with such swiftness that the occupants of the submersible likely had no awareness of the impending danger. According to Dr. Molé, the transition from life to death would have been instantaneous, akin to a switch being turned off.

Understanding the Unthinkable

The timeline of events surrounding the Titan submersible disaster offers a sobering account of the futile efforts to locate and rescue the crew. Despite initial hopes raised by the detection of ‘banging noises’ during the search operation, subsequent developments, including the discovery of a debris field, confirmed the grim reality of a catastrophic implosion.

The loss of the Titan and its crew serves as a stark reminder of the inherent risks in ventures into the uncharted depths of the ocean. While the passion of exploration may beckon adventurers like Hamish Harding, the threats underscore the importance of  planning and preparation.

As the world mourns the loss of those aboard the Titan, their legacy serves as a testament to the  spirit of exploration, tempered always by the unknown realities of the unknown. In the aftermath of tragedy, may their courage inspire future generations to pursue discovery with caution for the unpredictable forces of nature.

Virat Kohli To Be Dropped From India’s T20 World Cup Squad

t20-world-cup-2024-records-that-might-be-broken

Virat Kohli is arguably the greatest batter to ever grace the cricketing field, having led India to countless victories in all three formats of the game. However, he might miss out on India’s squad for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

Speculations are rife over his exclusion from the national squad for the tournament which is scheduled to take place in the USA and West Indies from June 1.

According to reports from The Telegraph India, Kohli’s place in the team is far from certain, raising eyebrows among cricket enthusiasts worldwide.

The uncertainty surrounding Kohli’s selection stems from his absence in T20I matches following India’s disappointing exit from the 2022 T20 World Cup, coupled with lacklustre performances upon his return to the shorter format earlier this year.

virat-kohli-ends-his-odi-world-cup-journey-with-a-unique-feat

Despite Rohit Sharma’s confirmed leadership role in the 2024 World Cup, Kohli’s future remains shrouded in doubt.

Both star batters remained absent from India’s T20I games following the T20 World Cup 2022, with Hardik Pandya filling in as captain.

They made their return to the squad for the Afghanistan series earlier this year, where Virat Kohli scored 0 and 29 in two matches.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah’s announcement of Sharma’s captaincy further fueled speculation about Kohli’s exclusion as he remained silent about Kohli’s role in the T20 World Cup.

Source: Cricinfo

The selection committee, led by Ajit Agarkar, reportedly doubts that Virat Kohli is currently suitabile for the shorter format, a stark departure from his previous accolades as Player of the Tournament in the 2014 and 2016 T20 World Cups.

The decision to potentially sideline Kohli underscores the selection committee’s quest for rejuvenation and bold decision-making to enhance India’s chances of ICC tournament success.

Players like Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Rinku Singh are purportedly ahead of Kohli in the pecking order, with the slow wickets of the West Indies cited as a potential deterrent to Kohli’s inclusion.

However, Kohli can make a strong case for his selection with a strong showing in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL).

In a time when AI is revolutionizing whole sectors, the legal field is about to undergo a metamorphosis of its own. Presenting SaulLM-7B, a massive language model intended to transform the development and understanding of legal texts. The influence of AI on society cannot be denied. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a potent force pushing innovation and advancement, from improving productivity to revolutionizing healthcare and education. Let’s dive into the details on what this actually is, and what it means for society.

Procedure for constructing saullm-7b
Image Source: arxiv.org

What Exactly Is SaulLM-7B?

With 7 billion parameters, SaulLM-7B is the first large language model (LLM) specifically designed for the legal arena. It was trained using more than 30 billion tokens from an English legal corpus and is based on the Mistral 7B architecture. Even though its less than models like LlaMA 2, SaulLM-7B is designed to help lawyers by understanding and producing legal texts, which will expedite legal procedures and improve the quality of legal paperwork. Regarding LLM’s as a whole, Equall.ai had this to say;

We believe LLMs open so many more avenues, some we see today, many still to discover

SaulLM-7B: Future Of The Legal System

In contrast to other AI models that have inadvertently referenced instances that never existed, SaulLM-7B‘s sophisticated training and fine-tuning techniques guarantee a high degree of correctness and dependability in legal tasks.

The goal of Equall.ai’s SaulLM-7B project is to develop end-to-end legal AI systems under the direction and supervision of solicitors, maintaining the centrality of legal competence in AI-assisted legal practice.

SaulLM-7B is a step towards an increasingly accurate and efficient legal system, where artificial intelligence (AI) augments the knowledge of legal experts, paving the way for a more equal and accessible future.

The Pakistani Legal System

Pakistan’s legal system, which has its roots in British common law and is impacted by Islamic Sharia, has to deal with issues such a backlog of cases and restricted access to legal materials. Its anything but perfect, but millions of Pakistanis have only this legal system to rely on for the longest of period, which in-turn has led to many cases being mismanaged and even thrown-out completely.

SaulLM-7B offers the ability to improve legal research, create more accurate legal documents, and eventually contribute to an efficient court procedure, making it a game-changer for Pakistan. Pakistan will surely gain a great deal from this technical advancement, which will open a new chapter in legal history, as SaulLM-7B opens the path for AI in the legal sector.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is likely to make history in 2025 as the first T20 league to clash with the Indian Premier League (IPL). The stage is set for a thrilling clash of cricketing giants, driven by Pakistan’s packed home season in 2024-25.

The scheduling dilemma arose because Pakistan is set to host its first ICC tournament in nearly three decades – the Champions Trophy scheduled for February 2025.

This monumental event has compelled the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to carve out a window for the tenth season of the PSL between March and May.

This window will coincide with the IPL’s extended window in the international calendar, from March to the beginning of June.

Traditionally, the PSL kicks off in January and concludes in February. However, the PCB had to reschedule the tournament to avoid overlap with their commitments as hosts of the Champions Trophy.

Currently, the PCB is deliberating over three potential windows for PSL 2025, with the most favourable one overlapping with the IPL in April and May.

The PCB is weighing this strategic move against the advantages and disadvantages of holding the league concurrently with the IPL.

The alternative windows under consideration include a three-week slot in February, albeit conflicting with an ODI triangular series involving New Zealand and South Africa. The third option is around the Asia Cup scheduled for September 2025.

The final decision on the scheduling conundrum for PSL 2025 is slated for discussion at the upcoming PCB council meeting.

Notably, Pakistan are also the defending champions of the Champions Trophy, having won the last edition back in 2017 under Sarfaraz Ahmed.

The ‘Delightful’ Challenges Of Toyota Fortuner In Pakistan

Fortuner Legender Back

Pakistan’s automobile scene is both challenging and diversified. Among the many options available to the discriminating automobile consumer, the Toyota Fortuner Legender is a shining example of rugged sophistication. But obstacles beset even the strongest of giants.

This article explores the top five problems that the Fortuner Legender faces when exploring through Pakistan and which might make you re-think your decision of buying one in the first place.

Less Than Ideal Situation For The Fortuner In Pakistan

The automobile market in Pakistan has seen a huge growth in the past couple of years, introducing new competitors and options for the driving public. But if the person is to stand out from the crowd, Pakistani’s have made it a pattern of showing off their status via their vehicles. Vehicles like the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Revo are a testament to that, they clear up roads like a shark swimming in the ocean with fishes making way.

In the current market, as it stands, there are limited options when it comes down to getting an SUV with 4×4 off-roading capabilities. And unless you like driving an uncomfortable glorified Suzuki Carry pick-up, which is the Revo or D-Max, your best option is to opt for the Land Cruiser. But with the hefty price tag of 12 Crore!

It’s not the ideal vehicle that comes to mind. Well the other alternative option you have which is comparatively budget-friendly, the Toyota Fortuner line-up. Only costing you 1/6th of the price of the Land Cruiser for the highest variant model, this vehicle surely proves its worth both on-road and off-road. But not everything that glitters is gold, the vehicle albeit the only budget option available, has a couple of drawbacks.

Issues With The Toyota Fortuner Line-Up

Even though you’ll be able to stand-out in the crowd and easily navigate any terrain, the Fortuner Legender is plagued with issues which have not been resolved since the original Fortuner line-up was introduced in Pakistan since 2017. Here are a couple of major issues with the 4×4 vehicle:

  1. Bumpy Trails: The suspension of a car is its silent workhorse; it plays a crucial role in mitigating the bumps and jolts experienced during off-road excursions. Critics have deemed the suspension system of the Legender, despite its sturdy body, as overly stiff, leading to a degraded ride quality. This stiffness can be particularly unpleasant on Pakistan’s rough terrain, necessitating a fully loaded truck to lessen the discomfort.
  2. The Climb Aboard: Any decent SUV should have high ground clearance, and the Legender delivers. However, some passengers may find it difficult to access the car because the second row lacks grab handles. This is a user experience issue that could be easily fixed to improve accessibility.
  3. A Glimpse Of The Sky: The Legender is one of the few crossovers without even a basic sunroof in a time where panoramic sunroofs are becoming standard. More than just a luxury, having a sunroof gives you a view to the outside world and gives many drivers a sense of freedom and openness.
  4. Quest For Comfort: The Legender‘s voyage starts off promisingly comfortable, but its seat cushioning causes a problem. Owners have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of lumbar support and the poor padding. Long trips may become an endurance challenge due to this ergonomic design error, leaving passengers wishing for more comfortable seats.
  5. Spatial Dilemma: Room is a luxury, and when it comes to SUVs, versatility is essential. Although they are practical, the third-row seats on the Legender fold in an awkward way that takes up valuable cargo room. This design decision stands in stark contrast to other models, whose folding seats reveal ample storage options.

The Toyota Fortuner Legender‘s voyage across Pakistan is evidence of its flexibility and tenacity. Though it towers over its contemporaries, innovation and criticism are what make the road to perfection paved. The vehicle’s development will hopefully this time take into account the feedback from its customers as Toyota proceeds along this path, pointing the vehicle in the direction of an even more legendary future.
