James Neesham Takes Subtle Dig At New Zealand’s Frequent Tours Of Pakistan

james-neesham-at-new-zealand-tour-of-pakistan

New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham, notorious for his social media posts, has once again charmed cricket fans with his characteristic wit.

The star all-rounder took to his social media to share his light-hearted take on the Black Caps’ frequent visits to Pakistan.

In a recent Instagram story, Neesham humorously remarked, “Back for the yearly visit,” accompanied by an emoji, acknowledging the regularity of the New Zealand team’s trips to Pakistan.

This playful quip comes as the Black Caps return to Pakistani soil, marking their third trip to the country in just over a year’s time.

The current tour sees New Zealand fielding a weakened squad, much like their previous visits, as many of their top players are engaged in the ongoing IPL season.

This situation mirrors the circumstances of their last tour in April 2023, during which Neesham was also part of the Kiwi squad.

Looking back, New Zealand’s recent visits to Pakistan have become somewhat routine. In January 2023, they toured the country for a series of three ODIs, followed by a more extensive tour in April of the same year, featuring five T20Is and five ODIs.

Despite the significance of having a major team like New Zealand visit Pakistan frequently, the recurrence of these series has led to waning fan interest.

The prospect of witnessing the same matchups repeatedly, especially with a second-string New Zealand side, has failed to captivate audiences as it once did.

In an effort to inject fresh excitement into the cricketing calendar, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently announced plans to host an ODI triangular series involving New Zealand and South Africa in February 2025.

Babar Azam Set to Rewrite T20I History: Eyes Virat Kohli’s Record

babar-azam-eyes-virat-kohli-t20i-record

Pakistan’s white-ball captain, Babar Azam, is set to make headlines in the upcoming home series against New Zealand, as he eyes multiple records in T20I cricket.

The much-anticipated five-match T20I series, commencing on April 18 at Pindi Cricket Stadium, marks Babar Azam’s return as Pakistan’s skipper, and he’s geared up to leave his mark on the record books.

Most Runs In T20I Cricket

With 3,698 runs under his belt, Babar Azam stands as the third-highest run-scorer in T20I cricket.

He’s within striking distance of the top spot, currently held by India’s Virat Kohli. The Indian star has scored 4,037 runs, followed by Rohit Sharma with 3974 runs.

A mere 340 runs in the upcoming series would help him surpass both Kohli and Sharma to become the highest-scoring batsman in T20I history.

Babar also aims to claim the top spot and is poised to breach the coveted 4,000-run milestone, a feat achieved by only Kohli.

  • Virat Kohli: 4037 (109 innings)
  • Rohit Sharma: 3974 (143)
  • Babar Azam: 3698 (103)
  • Martin Guptill: 3531 (118)
  • Paul Stirling: 3491 (136)

Most T20I Wins As Captain

Babar Azam’s leadership prowess is equally remarkable. With 42 wins as captain, he is on par with England’s Eoin Morgan and Afghanistan’s Asghar Afghan.

Just three victories against New Zealand would propel him to the top, surpassing Uganda’s Brian Masaba’s record and becoming the most successful T20I captain with 45 wins.

Additionally, Babar’s consistency as captain positions him to equal Australia’s Aaron Finch’s record of leading his nation in the most T20Is.

Finch led his team in 76 matches, while Babar is only five matches shy of his record. He will equal Finch’s record if he plays all matches against New Zealand.

Most T20I Runs As Captain

Babar Azam is also on the verge of eclipsing Aaron Finch’s record for the most runs scored as a T20I captain.

With a mere 42 runs separating him from Finch’s tally of 2236 runs, Babar is determined to surpass this milestone and cement his status as one of the premier leaders and batsmen in the T20I arena.

  • Aaron Finch: 2236 runs (76 innings)
  • Babar Azam: 2195 (65)
  • Kane Williamson: 2125 (71)

The Big Reveal By The Vlogger!

In a heartwarming video, Shiraz shared a milestone moment with his fans—the purchase of his first car.

NEOM 2030: Saudi Arabia Runs Into Budget Constraints

Envisioned NEOM Project

NEOM, the ambitious $1.5 trillion megaproject envisioned by Saudi Arabia, has been a symbol of the kingdom’s futuristic aspirations. Initially planned to be a beacon of innovation and sustainability, NEOM’s scope is being recalibrated as Saudi Arabia adapts its Vision 2030 goals. This blog post delves into the implications of these changes and what they mean for the future of the kingdom.

The Dream For NEOM

Conceived as a part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s sweeping Vision 2030 to diversify the economy, NEOM promised a utopian cityscape set against the stark beauty of the desert. The Line, a 105 Mile urban development, was to be the centerpiece of this new world, housing 1.5 million residents in a carbon-neutral, AI-driven environment.

NEOM Complete Line

A Sad Reality Check

According to recent sources, NEOM’s goals have been significantly scaled back. The projected population of less than 300,000 people by 2030 has replaced the original estimate of 1.5 million. Furthermore, it is currently projected that The Line will only be completed 1.5 Miles by the target year. This change represents a more cautious approach that is in line with the difficulties of spearheading such a historic endeavour and the reality of the economy.

The changes to NEOM’s plans reflect a strategic turnabout rather than merely a reduction in scope. Saudi Arabia is giving its internal economy first priority despite the current state of the world economy. This wise decision guarantees that the kingdom’s transformational objectives continue to be attainable and sustainable without going overboard with its resources.

Other NEOM Developments

Despite the downsizing of The Line, progress continues in other areas of NEOM. Sindalah, an island being transformed into a luxury tourist destination, is set to open this year. Additionally, NEOM is slated to host the Asian Winter Games in 2029 at the mountain resort Trojena. These developments signify ongoing commitment to the broader objectives of NEOM.

Public Reaction And Future Of NEOM

The public’s reaction to the scaled-back plans has been mixed. While some express disappointment, others recognize the practicality of the decision. The move has sparked discussions on the feasibility of such futuristic projects and the importance of adaptability in long-term strategic planning.

Even if Saudi Arabia updates its NEOM plan, the project is still crucial to the future of the nation. The ideal of a technologically sophisticated, sustainable society remains intact, even though the speed and size may alter. The kingdom’s dedication to innovation and economic diversification is still embodied by NEOM.

The recalibrating of NEOM’s 2030 objectives demonstrates Saudi Arabia’s readiness to modify its aspirations in light of current circumstances. The road towards a diverse, sustainable economy is still being travelled, even though the route towards a future megacity may have changed. NEOM remains a representation of hope, a project that changes with the times but never wavers from its main goal.

Shaheen Afridi Sitting Out Of First Two New Zealand T20Is: Signs of a Deeper Rift?

shaheen-afridi-out-of-first-two-new-zealand-t20is

Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi finds himself at a crossroads as he grapples with a series of setbacks in recent times. From losing his captaincy to potentially losing his spot in the team, Afridi’s journey has been tumultuous, to say the least.

The first blow came with his unsuccessful stint as international captain, marked by a disappointing defeat in the T20I series against New Zealand.

Following that, under his captaincy Lahore Qalandars failed to defend the Pakistan Super League (PSL) title and ended at the bottom of the table.

Consequently, he lost the T20I captaincy and now, reports hint at Afridi’s absence from the initial T20Is against New Zealand, attributed to a rotational policy aimed at managing player workload ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Although Shaheen Afridi is set to play the last three T20Is of the five-match series, speculations loom over his future in the Pakistan cricket team, with suggestions that he may find himself sidelined altogether following a reported fallout with Babar Azam.

While initially slated to miss the first few matches as part of a rotation policy, there are whispers that this move is just the beginning of his gradual exclusion from the squad.

The relationship between Azam and Afridi soured reported following Azam’s reinstatement as captain by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) ahead of New Zealand series.

Behind the scenes, sources close to Afridi reveal a sense of discontent with the PCB’s handling of his captaincy removal, citing communication lapses and a fabricated statement issued in his name.

While the PCB acknowledged its internal mistake, Afridi remains disheartened by the ordeal. Moreover, the board defended its decision to remove Afridi as a strategic move to prioritize player well-being and performance longevity.

Emphasizing Afridi’s significance as a star fast bowler, the PCB underscores the importance of rotation and rest to maintain peak performance, particularly for fast bowlers like Afridi, who have faced injury concerns in recent years.

Nasir Jamshed Apologizes for Spot-Fixing Scandal After Seven Years

nasir-jamshed-apologizes-for-spot-fixing

Former Pakistani cricketer Nasir Jamshed has finally broken his silence, issuing a heartfelt apology for his involvement in the spot-fixing controversy that marred his cricketing legacy.

Jamshed shared a video on social media capturing a tender moment of him bowling to his daughter during a practice session.

Alongside the video, he penned a deeply remorseful message, acknowledging the gravity of his actions and expressing profound regret. “I won’t forgive myself for what I did with my career,” he confessed.

In a pledge to make amends, Nasir Jamshed vowed to channel his cricketing prowess into nurturing his daughter’s talent, affirming, “I am truly sorry, but I will try to pass my talent on to my daughter and give her the best chance.”

Jamshed’s fall from grace stemmed from his involvement in spot-fixing scandals during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

His role as the central figure in the 2017 PSL scandal led to severe repercussions, including a ten-year ban imposed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in August 2018.

Additionally, he served a 17-month jail sentence in the UK after being convicted of his part in a spot-fixing conspiracy in February 2020.

The opening batter’s international career, which spanned from 2008 to 2015, saw him represent Pakistan in two Test matches, 48 One Day Internationals (ODIs), and 18 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).

Notably, Jamshed’s explosive batting prowess was on full display during Pakistan’s triumphant series against India in 2013.

Emerging as the leading run-scorer in the three-match ODI series, he amassed an impressive 241 runs, including two centuries, solidifying his reputation as a formidable force at the top of the order.

Phone 16 Plus Leaks Reveal Sleek Battery, Vibrant Colors

As Apple enthusiasts eagerly await the next big release, recent leaks have sparked both excitement and concern in the community. The upcoming iPhone 16 Plus, set to join Apple’s prestigious lineup, has found itself in the spotlight for less-than-ideal reasons.

Known for its impressive battery life, Apple has always prided itself on creating devices that last. Since the early days of the iPhone, Steve Jobs vouched for the device’s ability to manage power, setting a high standard for endurance. Fast forward to today, rumors suggest that this might not be the case for upcoming iPhone 16.

A Potential Setback

Sources on social media platforms suggest that the anticipated iPhone 16 Plus, priced at $899, may have a smaller battery compared to its predecessors. Speculation hints at a 9% reduction in battery size, which goes against the trend of incremental improvements seen in earlier models. While these leaks come from unverified sources, their consistency with past rumors raises eyebrows among fans.

Colorful Options

In addition to the battery changes, there’s talk of the iPhone 16 Plus coming in a wider range of colors, possibly expanding the options to seven vibrant options. This shift towards a more colorful range reflects Apple’s ongoing efforts to cater to different aesthetic tastes among its users.

Despite all the speculation, Apple has remained characteristically tight-lipped, choosing not to comment on the rumors. As anticipation grows, fans scrutinize these leaks for hints about where the iPhone 16 Plus will stand in the lineup.

Software Enhancements

Beyond hardware changes, there are whispers of software improvements aswell. Speculation suggests that there will be upgrades to artificial intelligence features, enhancing user experiences in areas like photography and video. With Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference coming up in June, there’s high anticipation for breakthroughs in AI-powered functions.

The AI Pin Controversy – Innovation or Illusion?

The potential of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives has been a source of excitement and creativity in a world where AI is evolving at a rapid pace. But not everything that shines is gold, and Humane’s AI Pin is proof of this proverb. Let’s have a look at how Humane failed to capture the audience with its unnecessary invention.

The AI Boom

AI has seen a rebirth in the last several years. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has progressed from machine learning to deep learning, integrating into various business models to enhance consumer experiences and automate processes.

Due to this sudden interest, businesses are rushing to incorporate AI into their goods in an effort to stay ahead of the competition and transform consumer experiences. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become ubiquitous in the computer sector, appearing in everything from virtual assistants to recommendation engines.

AI has a promising future as its application to daily life becomes more streamlined and customized. Within ten years, it is predicted to perform better than humans in a variety of jobs, replacing typically human-driven procedures with automated ones!

A Visionary Leap Into Wearable AI

Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno, two former Apple workers, established Humane, which has released the AI Pin, a wearable technology that marks a major change in the market. The AI Pin is a strong statement about the direction that personal technology is headed, not simply a device.

Humane was born out of a desire to create technology that feels natural and intuitive. Chaudhri and Bongiorno, with their rich history at Apple, have been instrumental in shaping some of the most iconic consumer products. Their vision with Humane is to forge a path where technology enhances human capabilities without overwhelming them.

The AI Pin In All Its Glory

The AI Pin, a compact, screen-less device, can be worn on the chest and comes equipped with a camera, microphone, and a laser projector to display information onto your hand.
The device operates on voice commands and hand gestures, aiming to provide a seamless interaction with technology.

At the heart of the AI Pin is a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, which powers an array of sensors and AI capabilities. The device’s projector can beam a 720p resolution display onto surfaces, and its camera can capture high-resolution photos and videos. The AI Pin also offers real-time translation, document editing, and email processing among other features.

Though it takes a novel approach, the AI Pin has come under fire for failing to sufficiently address contemporary technical issues. Users have criticized the device for its responsiveness, battery life, and practicality in everyday use. The task facing Humane is to improve the AI Pin so that it can better serve users’ practical requirements.

The Future Of The AI Pin

The future of the AI Pin and similar devices hinges on their ability to integrate seamlessly into daily life. While the concept of a wearable AI assistant is intriguing, the technology must evolve to offer clear advantages over existing devices like smartphones and smartwatches.

The mixed reception of the AI Pin raises questions about Humane’s future and the product’s viability. Can Humane really overcome these hurdles and fulfill the potential of AI wearables? Only time will tell.

In a much-anticipated move, Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim have returned to bolster the Pakistan squad for the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand.

The national selection committee members Abdul Razzaq, Asad Shafiq, Bilal Afzal, Mohammad Yousuf, and Wahab Riaz, unveiled the squad reflecting a blend of experience and promising talent.

Both Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim, who recently reversed their international retirements, have thrown their hats in the ring for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and have been eagerly welcomed back into the fold.

Amir, whose last appearance for Pakistan dates back to 2020, and Wasim, who featured in New Zealand’s last tour of Pakistan in 2023, bring a wealth of experience and skill to the team.

Among the new faces in the squad is Usman Khan, who caught the eye of the selection committee with his consistent batting prowess during the recent Pakistan Super League (PSL) 9.

His impressive form earned him a call-up after showcasing his talent with 430 runs, including two centuries.

Usman Khan was approached by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and was requested to give up his ambitions to play for United Arab Emirates (UAE) in favour of representing his home country.

Another exciting addition is uncapped right-handed batter Irfan Khan Niazi, whose stellar performance in the PSL saw him rack up 171 runs at an impressive strike rate of 140.16.

Pace bowler Naseem Shah, making his comeback after a hiatus since the Asia Cup in 2019, has earned his place in the squad following a strong showing in the PSL.

However, the squad bid farewell to all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz due to a dip in form, while Haris Rauf’s shoulder injury sustained during PSL 9 sidelines him for the series.

Led by newly reinstated white-ball captain Babar Azam, the Pakistan squad is gearing up to face New Zealand in the five-match series, starting from April 18.

Source: Technology Times

Excitement fills the air as people across North America eagerly anticipate the total solar eclipse of 2024. This rare cosmic event captures the attention of millions, offering a glimpse into the wonders of the universe.

The eclipse begins its journey in Mazatlán, Mexico, as the moon slowly starts to cover the sun. People gather to witness this mesmerising sight, marking the beginning of an unforgettable experience.

From Mexico to the United States

Along a specific path called the “path of totality,” spanning Mexico, the United States, and Canada, lucky viewers witness the moon completely blocking the sun’s light. This creates a magical moment as daylight turns into an eerie twilight.

In cities like Mazatlán and Coahuila, Mexico, the eclipse reaches its peak, casting a shadow over the land for several minutes. People record and appreciate the beauty of the celestial display before bidding farewell to the moon’s shadow.

One of the most breathtaking views were capured by a drone which has been going viral on social media.

Moving across the border into the United States, towns like Kerrville, Texas, experience the complete eclipse, with the moon fully covering the sun. Residents enjoy this unique sight, embracing the appealing atmosphere.

Oklahoma’s Eclipse Experience

As the eclipse progresses, communities in states like Oklahoma witness the mesmerizing sight of totality, with the moon completely blocking the sun’s light. This moment leaves spectators in awe of the universe’s wonders.

Srha Asghar Exposes Who Encouraged Her To Get Fillers

Srha Asghar

Srha Asghar rose to fame after her starring role in Akhara. Currently, this actress is expanding her list of talents and trying to add hosting to the list. As a guest on the Ayaz Samoo’s Show, Srha has shared a very odd interaction.

Everything Srha Asghar Revealed

In the segment, she shared that as a personal preference, she likes to keep to herself on set. However, a few months ago, she was shooting a scene with an older actress, playing her mother. On the last day of shooting, the woman approached Srha and shared how fond she was of seeing her in dramas. However, what she said after was quite inappropriate. Instead of a compliment, the woman told Srha it was in her best interest to get forehead fillers.

Have a look at the interview, if you haven’t already :

Apparently Srha had too many lines. When the actress tried to confirm is Srha would get them or not and she refused, the actress said,

” Alright, I was just advising you like I would to my daughter.” Are we suggesting fillers for our kids these days? According to Srha, Yes! but only because the woman herself also had her Botox done.

After revealing this incident, Srha Asghar has brought light on an important matter. As well experienced members, actors should try to protect the new actors from pressure faced by casting directors, and fans. It makes no sense to suggest facial-altering surgeries for the sake of appearances when unspoken beauty surgeries can also affect those in the media.

Influential actresses often don’t share what they’ve had done to their faces, leaving people under the impression it’s natural, increasing unrealistic standards. Moreover, brands take advantage of such circumstances by encouraging actors to lie and suggest that it was a product that helped them achieve certain features, such as good skin texture.
