Pakistan Expected To Make Three Changes For Melbourne Test

pakistan-to-make-three-changes-for-australia-test

Pakistan cricket team’s upcoming second Test against Australia in Melbourne is set to witness three significant changes, as per sources. Injured pacer Khurram Shahzad, wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed, and all-rounder Faheem Ashraf are reportedly out of the XI for the crucial match.

Team management is looking to bring in Mohammad Rizwan to replace Sarfaraz Ahmed behind the stumps, while Faheem Ashraf’s probable replacement, spinner Sajid Khan, is on the cards. Additionally, either Mir Hamza or Hasan Ali is expected to step in for the injured Khurram Shahzad.

Sarfaraz Ahmed’s recent form in Perth was underwhelming, tallying just seven runs across both innings. However, Team Director Mohammad Hafeez defended the player, highlighting his past contributions and stressing the need for continuity rather than making changes based on one match.

“Yes, he didn’t perform up to expectations as a batsman and keeper. But this doesn’t mean that we should start doubting someone’s skill and saying they can only play in certain conditions,” said Hafeez.

The injury to Khurram Shahzad has dealt a blow to the pace attack of Pakistan against Australia. Shahzad, who displayed promise with five wickets on debut against Australia in Perth, was sidelined due to a stress fracture and an abdominal muscle tear. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is coordinating with specialists in Australia to establish a comprehensive management plan for his recovery.

Pakistan was defeated by a massive 360-run margin against Australia in the first Test, which highlighted their batting vulnerabilities, with the team collapsing for a mere 89 runs in the fourth innings while chasing a daunting target of 450.

When you buy a new smartphone, you handle it with utmost delicacy for many weeks. Eventually, a person can feel more care-free while using the phone but they still want to take care of it. When a smartphone is a flagship, the care is constant due to how much the phone actually cost. That said, Samsung smartphones have been among the most robust ones since a long time now. They offer good durability and high functionality, alongside self-repair options.

Now, Samsung is expanding its Self-Repair program to include 16 more devices, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5. Yes, the foldable smartphones of the company are also going to be a part of the self-repair program. Under this program, Samsung provides specific kits to the users, that they can use to repair their respective phones. These kits can include the screen panel, charging ports and much more.

Samsung Repair Kits Available

This marks the first time Samsung foldable devices are made repairable and will be supported by iFixit, joining the Pixel Fold as one of the few folding smartphones with repair options. This means that people who own the foldable phones can also make use of the repair kits to fix their own smartphones. It also allows users to explore the inner workings of their foldable phones more.

The specific parts available for repair through the program are not yet disclosed, but Samsung hints that users will be able to fix components such as the screen, speakers, and charging ports. These are three of the most important parts of a smartphone. If the company is offering kits to repair these components, then the market can go quite far with such an innovation. To be able to repair a foldable phone sounds good.

Repair Is Not Cheap

The pricing for the repair kits remains unknown, but considering the high costs of replacing parts on the Pixel Fold, it is speculated that the repair kits for Samsung devices might also be relatively expensive. If the actual replacement cost of parts for the foldable phones is high, the repair kits will also be expensive. Thus, it means that you have to be ready to invest a pretty penny into self-repair for your foldable phone.

Samsung is expanding the Self-Repair program to 30 additional European countries, with details on when spare parts will be available and the European rollout start date yet to be confirmed. However, this gives us hope that repair kits for Samsung phones will be more readily available now.

Preity Zinta’s Punjab Kings Buy Wrong Player In IPL Auction

preity-zinta-punjab-kings-buy-wrong-player-in-ipl-auction

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction, typically a whirlwind of strategic moves, took an unexpected turn into comedic territory courtesy of Preity Zinta’s Punjab Kings (PBKS).

PBKS, previously Kings XI Punjab, found themselves in a delightful mix-up during the auction, making a purchase they didn’t quite intend to. It all began when an uncapped player named Shashank Singh entered the auction, listed at a base price of INR 2 million. With a swift decision after a brief consultation, Preity Zinta raised the bid paddle, seemingly aiming for another player with the same name. They quickly acquired the services of the player as other franchises were not interested in buying him.

However, PBKS quickly realised they had mistaken Shashank Singh with another player with the same name and pleaded auctioneer Mallika Sagar to rectify the error, which declined, finalizing the purchase.

Social media reaction over Punjab Kings auction mishap

This mishap quickly became the subject of online banter, with netizens unleashing a wave of humorous reactions, poking fun at the franchise’s amusing blunder.

In response to the uproar, Punjab Kings later clarified in a statement that the player they secured “was always on our target list,” attributing the confusion to the presence of two players sharing the same name in the auction roster. The franchise expressed delight in having the player on board and anticipated his contributions to their upcoming season.

Interestingly, the other “Shashank Singh” listed in the auction remained unsold, differentiating him from the player inadvertently acquired by Punjab Kings. The acquired Shashank Singh, an all-rounder hailing from Chhattisgarh, previously associated with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, responded to the franchise’s statement on social media, graciously expressing gratitude and assurance.

The amusing incident not only added a humorous twist to the IPL auction but also became a talking point highlighting the unexpected turns that such events can take. As Punjab Kings move forward, this inadvertent buy promises an intriguing subplot to their upcoming IPL journey.

khurram-shahzad-ruled-out-of-australia-series

Pakistan’s young bowling sensation, Khurram Shahzad, faced a major setback in the ongoing Test series against Australia, being forced out due to a stress fracture in his left rib and an abdominal muscle tear.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed Shahzad’s injury, which surfaced during the first Test in Perth, where he complained of discomfort on his left side. Medical assessments, including an MRI scan, unveiled the extent of his injury, leading to his exclusion from the series.

The PCB announced that Khurram Shahzad would seek specialist consultation in Australia to establish a comprehensive management plan for his recovery. Following this, he will undergo rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore.

Former Pakistani captain Rashid Latif expressed apprehensions about Khurram Shahzad’s fitness yesterday. On social media platform X, he highlighted concerns about the biomechanics of Shahzad’s bowling action, deeming it potentially hazardous for the emerging fast bowler.

Adding to these concerns, former pace bowler Junaid Khan echoed Latif’s worries. While acknowledging Shahzad’s commendable performance in the Perth Test, Khan raised concerns about a technical flaw in Shahzad’s bowling action, pointing out a potential risk of injury if he continues to bowl with the same action.

Junaid emphasized the need for a corrected bio-mechanical approach, citing a decline in the pace of Khurram Shahzad pace between the innings and warning of possible injuries if Shahzad is hurried back into action without rectifying the issue.

Khurram Shahzad’s absence casts a shadow over Pakistan’s prospects in the upcoming matches, leaving a void in their bowling attack and drawing attention to the fitness and bio-mechanics in Pakistan’s cricket circuit.

Shield’s Bold Move On Mom Expectations Is Worth Appreciating

Motherhood is a profound journey that comes with its joys, challenges, and a myriad of expectations. In today’s society, these expectations are often shaped and perpetuated by various external factors, with brands playing a significant role in fostering unrealistic ideals. From picture-perfect images of blissful mothers to seamlessly managed households, the portrayal of motherhood by brands often falls short of the messy, complex reality that many mothers experience.

How Brands Foster This Image

Brands frequently depict an idealized image of motherhood in their advertising campaigns and product promotions. Whether it’s the serene mother effortlessly juggling work, children, and a pristine home or the perpetuation of the “supermom” archetype, these portrayals create an unattainable standard for real-life mothers. The pressure to live up to these unrealistic ideals can lead to feelings of inadequacy and guilt among mothers who find it challenging to meet these lofty expectations.

The marketing strategies employed by brands often create pressure on mothers to conform to a specific lifestyle or parenting approach. Whether it’s promoting certain parenting philosophies, the “perfect” family outings, or the latest parenting gadgets, brands create a narrative that suggests these products are essential for successful motherhood. This not only puts financial strain on families but also fosters a sense of inadequacy among those who may choose a different path.

Impact on Mental Health

The constant exposure to idealized images of motherhood can have a profound impact on the mental health of mothers. Feelings of comparison, inadequacy, and the fear of not measuring up to societal standards can contribute to stress, anxiety, and postpartum depression. Brands, knowingly or unknowingly, contribute to this by promoting products in a way that associates them with an unattainable standard of motherhood.

How Shield Is Helping Change The Narrative

Shield with its latest campaign is showing what goes on behind the scenes and the picture-perfect babies everyone seems to love. The latest shield advertisement shows a family canoodling a baby with her mother going back and forth to cater to her child’s needs. Shield, with its campaign ‘Mamta Ki Zaban‘, for the first time is shedding light on motherhood in its true essence showing the intricacies and challenges a mother faces while bringing up a child.
