Former Pakistani wicket-keeper batter Rashid Latif has urged all-rounder Imad Wasim to rethink his decision to retire from international cricket.

Rashid Latif voiced his thoughts on the platform ‘X’, highlighting the significant impact of Imad Wasim as Pakistan’s premier spinner and a vital asset with the bat.

“Imad Wasim should reconsider retiring. He’s our top spinner and adds immense value with his batting. His absence at the World Cup isn’t just his loss but Pakistan’s loss,” Rashid Latif expressed.

Rashid Latif emphasized that players who wish to participate in leagues should be released from their central contract, while still remaining available for the national team.

“Mohammad Hafeez should work towards Imad’s return. If league commitments are necessary, perhaps step away from the central contract but remain available for Pakistan,” Rashid Latif added.

The left-handed all-rounder formally announced his retirement from all international formats on November 24th.

Imad Wasim shocked the cricketing world with his sudden retirement, as his fans were anticipating seeing him in the upcoming T20i series against New Zealand as well as the T20 World Cup 2024.

Imad Wasim, while announcing his retirement on X, wrote:

“In recent days have been doing a lot of thinking about my international career and have come to the conclusion that now is the right time for me to announce my retirement from international cricket.

“I would like to thank the PCB for all their support over the years it has truly been an honour to represent Pakistan. Each of my 121 appearances across the ODI and T201 formats was a dream come true.

Imad Wasim extended his well wishes for Pakistan cricket and also thanked his fans for their support.

“It’s an exciting time for Pakistan cricket going forwards with new coaches and leadership incoming. I wish all involved every success and look forward to watching the team excel.

“Thank you to the Pakistan fans for always supporting me with such passion. A final thank you to my family and friends who have been so important in helping me achieve at the highest level.

During his career, the 34-year-old Imad Wasim has featured in 55 ODIs, amassing 986 runs and claiming 44 wickets.

Meanwhile, in T20Is, Imad represented Pakistan in 66 matches, contributing 486 runs and an impressive tally of 65 wickets.

All-rounder Imad Wasim sent shockwaves through the sporting world by announcing his retirement from international cricket via social media on November 24, 2023. Citing contemplation over his career trajectory, the seasoned all-rounder, nearing his 35th birthday, chose this moment to bid adieu, leaving fans and experts astounded.

His significant role in Pakistan’s T20I strategy was undeniable, as evident from his consistent presence in all eight T20Is played by Pakistan in 2023, holding a C-category central contract.

However, the timing of Imad’s retirement, especially ahead of the World T20 2024 scheduled in June, stirred divided opinions. Some pointed fingers at PCB, while others questioned Imad’s unexpected move.

 

PCB or Imad Wasim – Who is at fault?

Events leading up to his retirement further sparked discussions. Just prior to his announcement, Imad intended to join the Abu Dhabi T10 League, bypassing the National T20 2023.

However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) urged all players to participate in the National T20 Cup, setting the stage for Imad Wasim’s sudden retirement declaration on social media.

Imad’s retirement brought the spotlight onto Pakistan’s national team selection criteria, raising eyebrows about exceptions and perceived favouritism despite the emphasis on domestic cricket as the route to national selection.

Expressing discontent about being excluded from the ODI squad despite reasonable performances, Imad’s recent track record portrayed mixed outcomes. His last few ODI innings highlighted commendable batting alongside moderate bowling figures, leading to debates on the fairness of his exclusion.

Scrutiny on PCB’s communication with players grew evident as Imad’s omission mirrored past instances of unclear feedback, echoing the sentiments of other sidelined players.

Comparisons arose between Imad and players like Fawad Alam and Tabish Khan, who maintained consistent appearances in domestic cricket despite setbacks, contrasting with Imad’s sporadic showings.

In T20Is, Imad’s journey faced turbulence after his post-World T20 2021 exclusion. His 2023 return raised doubts about his stability within the team, especially compared to counterparts holding multiple-format contracts.

Additionally, hurdles arose in his T10 league participation due to PCB’s stance, signalling a shift among players towards more lucrative league contracts.

Imad Wasim’s sudden retirement underscored the underlying tensions between players’ ambitions, PCB’s strategies, and the evolving landscape of international cricket leagues.

Fuel Price Down, But No Relief for Wallets – Here’s Why

When it comes to prices in Pakistan, we feel that nothing ever truly gets cheaper. Either the price of something increases or it stays the same. Sometimes it increases so much, so when it decreases, we feel like a difference has been made. In reality, the price only comes down to what it was before, thus no change having been made. That said, fuel prices have come down recently, by almost 4 rupees per liter.

Now that might not feel like a huge difference, but when calculated in a bigger amount, then it can have an impact. However, we always have to keep in mind as to how a chance affects the general population. This price decrease barely has an impact on the people driving cars on a regular basis.

Gas and other fuel issues

Fuel Prices and Other Commodities

When we are keeping decreasing prices in mind, we also have to think about other commodities. Even if fuel prices are decreasing, that does not mean the current financial situation is getting any easier. Do you feel that the decrease is having an impact or are the problems persisting? What about Electricity and Gas prices, with the increasing tariffs and taxes.

People are still paying thousands of rupees on electricity prices even when they are running minimal appliances. They are being buried under mountains of bills and all they can do is try and pay these bills because the prices just keep going up. The fuel price decrease is barely making a dent in this situation right now.

Gas Shortages Everywhere

The electricity situation is not the only one that is worsening day by day. In recent news, gas load shedding has also been increased. You try to cook breakfast or lunch, and you might find yourself without any gas. Not just that, but the gas bills of many people are spiking by a huge margin. Can we really call this fuel price change a good change, considering how the other commodities are faring.

If the fuel price was decreasing by more than fifty or hundred rupees, then we would consider it as a big change. However, until then we have to remember that the struggle still continues.

Pakistani actress Madiha Imam has found herself at the centre of a brewing controversy after her recent visit to her in-laws’ house in India. The visit, which initially sparked debates on religious grounds, has now taken an unexpected turn with fans raising concerns about the seemingly empty house.

Netizens scrutinising the video footage from the visit noted a lack of furnishings and decorations in the house, with only a few couches visible. The walls appeared bare, devoid of any artwork or elements that typically make a home inviting.

Adding to the controversy, fans expressed worry over Madiha Imam’s demeanour during the visit. Observers pointed out that the 32-year-old actress seemed uneasy, evidenced by the confusion evident in her smile. This raised questions about the overall atmosphere and comfort level during her stay.

Further intensifying the debate, the groom’s uncle, who was filming the visit, mentioned a Hindu belief that considers a bride fortunate for the family if it rains on her first visit. The use of Hindi dialect and the reference to the Hindu ritual of “Pooja” only fuelled the controversy, leading fans to demand answers.

Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane dropped subtle hints at her possible engagement on Thursday.

Sharing a carousel of sun-kissed pictures, one image stood out, revealing a beautiful yet simple gold ring adorned with a mid-sized diamond on her engagement finger. Another non-engagement ring also graced the same finger.

In the particular picture, Mawra can be seen blushing, her gaze seemingly stolen by the ring. The Nauroz star captioned the image, “Wake up & be the ☀️ #projectJ.”

Although the post seemed to be a nonverbal announcement, only a keen-eyed user seemed to catch the hint.

Curious to see the ring? Keep clicking on the right!

Interestingly, just a week ago, a fan had urged Mawra to consider marriage, to which the actress cryptically replied, “I will think about this.”

However, the question remains: Is Ameer Gilani really the mystery guy?

Speculation points toward Mawra’s fellow co-star, Ameer Gilani. Dating rumours between the two surfaced in September 2020, fuelled by their shared on-screen projects and public appearances at weddings.

Their presence at each other’s birthdays, coupled with Mawra’s Instagram posts featuring Ameer Gilani, has only added to the ongoing speculation.

Choosing an Apple Watch has become quite the challenge lately. From the latest Series 9 to the Ultra 2 and the revamped second-gen SE, the options can overwhelm even the tech-savvy. But fear not,we have navigated these smartwatches’ closely and stand ready to guide you through the array of choices.

Initially, picking an Apple Watch was straightforward—big or small? But with each iteration, Apple expanded horizons. Cellular connectivity, a budget-friendly SE now in its second rendition, and the rugged Ultra have diversified the lineup, making decisions more intricate.

Finding Your Fit: Considering Size, Material, and Straps

The arrival of the Series 9 and Ultra 2 heralds discounts on older models as retailers clear inventory. This fall through the holidays marks a golden window for a premium last-gen model at lower rates. The Series 7, 8, and 9 sport incremental hardware updates; the real game-changers are in software enhancements.

So, how do you navigate through these choices?

Firstly, let’s consider your wrist. The SE and Series models offer 40mm and 44mm sizes, catering to readability and comfort. Opting for aluminum suffices for most, but stainless steel provides sturdiness—a plus point for the accident-prone. Comfort is key, so choose wisely.

Straps matter too. The breathable nylon sport loop reigns supreme for ease and comfort. Yet, for those fashion-conscious, Amazon or Etsy unveil a trove of options beyond Apple’s lineup. However, Apple’s discontinuation of leather accessories might shift your focus to other alternatives like FineWoven.

Then there’s the Ultra and Ultra 2—big and rugged at 49mm, decked in titanium and tailored for adventurers. Their specialized straps—trail, alpine, and ocean loops—cater to runners, hikers, and divers, allowing personal touch in the choice.

Decoding the Trio: Series 9, SE, and Ultra 2

Now, onto the trio—the Series 9, SE, and Ultra 2—each tailored for distinct users. The Series 9 shines as the flagship, packing the latest features and the swiftest processor. Meanwhile, the SE, a budget-friendly entry, sacrifices some features but maintains the Apple Watch essence. And the Ultra 2 caters to the adventurous souls, boasting durability and battery life beyond compare.

However, when budget is tight, the new SE stands tall, offering futureproof hardware without breaking the bank. A gateway device for newcomers or a savvy investment for seasoned users looking to balance cost and features.

But beware the refurbished market. While tempting, tread cautiously—older models like the Series 3 might offer a bargain but lack software compatibility, potentially leaving you without digital connectivity which apple should usually offer.

So, as Black Friday deals come in, weigh your options, consider your needs, and venture forth confidently into the realm of Apple Watches—your perfect fit awaits.

Junaid Akram, in his recent tweet, tried to shed light on the scene at Karachi beaches. However, his tweet has backfired resulting in criticism.

Junaid Akram X Karachi Beach

Karachi beaches are a sight to behold, with people roaming on the beach from all backgrounds often seen spending their leisure time. While there is no bounds to the sights one might have seen on the beaches of Karachi and no it isn’t just limited to making sand castles on the beach, Akram in his recent video shared quite a few of them.

The video, however, backfired resulting in netizens trolling the YouTuber. While the majority shared their stance on him having a colonial mindset, others called him out for being racist. Now you might be wondering what is so wrong about the video. Take a look at his tweet below.

School Of Thought 

The conversation isn’t as simple as it seems, it sure is debatable. While everyone has the right to enjoy themselves on the beach, not everything comes off as acceptable when it comes to beach activities. Meanwhile, calling out people for merely enjoying based on a few clips from the internet isn’t right either. Akram is lowkey being cancelled and the Twitter’s reaction to his video is rather blunt and upfront.

Take a look at a few tweets from the thread below.

Abdul Razzaq, the former Pakistani cricket player, has sparked upset among Indian cricket fans once more. This time, it’s because of his recent remarks about India’s loss in the World Cup 2023.

Unsettling Comments on India’s Loss

Razzaq appeared on the show ‘Hasna Mana Hay,’ hosted by Tabish Hashmi, where he commented that in the face-off between Australia and India, “cricket won and India lost.” These words triggered dissatisfaction among Indian cricket enthusiasts.

Standing by his words despite the backlash, Razzaq defended his viewpoint, highlighting that the match conditions favored Australia. He expressed his surprise at the poor pitch quality for an ICC final, believing it heavily favored the Aussies.

Razzaq firmly believed that India’s defeat held a lesson for the cricketing world. He emphasized the significance of bravery, performance, and effort in the sport, suggesting that India’s loss revealed these essential aspects.

India’s Dominance and Australia’s Triumph

India had an impressive winning streak throughout the World Cup 2023, triumphing in all ten matches leading up to the final showdown. However, it was Australia’s strategic performance that secured their victory in the final, ultimately claiming the prestigious trophy.

While Razzaq’s comments continue to stir debate and dissatisfaction among Indian cricket enthusiasts, the focus remains on the outcomes of the World Cup. Australia’s strategic prowess outshined India’s unbeaten run, leading to their championship victory in the thrilling final match.

Pace bowler Haris Rauf has been under the fire recently after Wahab Riaz threw him under the bus over his unavailability for the Test tour of Australia.

Newly appointed Chief Selector Wahab Riaz revealed an 18-man squad for Pakistan’s upcoming Test tour to Australia during a press conference held on November 20.

The announcement, however, came with criticism directed at Haris Rauf for his reluctance to play in the longer format.

Reports suggest that, Haris Rauf, feels distressed and bothered by the unjust criticisms he has been facing recently.

Sources close to the pacer disclosed that Rauf is in Karachi for the National T20 Championship but is striving to ensure his mental, physical, and form readiness before resuming Test cricket.

“Haris is upset with the unwarranted criticism during the World Cup campaign. Critics who lack insights are questioning his form and consistency in picking wickets,” shared a close family source.

Rauf believes that he needs mental and physical preparedness to navigate the demands of Test cricket, requiring heightened alertness throughout the five-day game.

The insider highlighted Rauf’s focus on the shorter format to bolster readiness for Tests and other international commitments.

Haris Rauf made his international debut in January 2020, featuring in a T20I match against Bangladesh in Lahore. Despite this, his First-Class appearances amount to just nine matches. His solitary Test appearance was against England in December 2022, where he bowled 13 overs before exiting the field due to a fitness concern.

Wahab Riaz mentioned that Haris Rauf initially agreed to play against Australia but later declined, a claim countered by ESPN Cricinfo, stating that the pacer never assented to the longer format due to concerns about his fitness level.

Former captain Babar Azam joined Pakistan team’s training camp for Australia series after relinquishing captaincy last week and made headlines for jokingly referring Saud Shakeel as ‘Chota Don.’

The Pakistan cricket team commenced its training at Pindi Cricket Stadium, prepping for the upcoming Test series against Australia starting December 14, 2023.

On the first day of the training session, various noteworthy moments unfolded at Pindi Cricket Stadium. During slip-catching drills, Babar Azam added a touch of humour to the proceedings by playfully nicknaming Saud Shakeel ‘Chota Don’ (Little Don) after the southpaw adeptly secured a catch.

This character was inspired by the comedic character ‘Chota Don’ portrayed by Rajpal Yadav in the Indian film ‘Partner,’ with the term ‘Chota’ humorously referencing the character’s diminutive stature.

While the team indulged in light moments, Babar Azam led by example, engaging in rigorous warm-ups and even shared a brisk run with teammates Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan around the ground.

Despite stepping down from captaincy, Babar Azam showed unwavering dedication, focusing intently on refining his batting skills during the net practice, displaying his commitment to excel on the field.

Researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking study indicating that the sound of a person’s voice could potentially become a key factor in diagnosing type 2 diabetes. The study, conducted by scientists, introduces a new method that utilizes voice recordings to accurately screen individuals for diabetes, all within a span of six to ten seconds.

Voice Analysis for Diabetes Detection

A team of researchers at Klick Applied Sciences crafted a highly accurate tool by analyzing short voice clips from participants, some with diabetes and others without, recorded through their smartphones. The study revealed that alterations in pitch and voice strength played a significant role in diagnosing diabetes.

With the aid of a smartphone application, 267 participants in India—comprising 192 individuals without diabetes and 75 diagnosed with diabetes—recorded short voice clips multiple times a day for two weeks. Through detailed analysis of 18,465 recordings, 14 distinct acoustic characteristics were measured, enabling the creation of a precise tool for identifying diabetes.

Gender-Specific Diagnostic Indicators

The study found that distinct voice characteristics signified type 2 diabetes differently in men and women. Changes in pitch were crucial for diagnosing diabetes in women, whereas variations in voice strength or amplitude were key indicators for men.

How AI Enables Diagnosis

Lead author Jaycee M. Kaufman emphasized the use of AI and machine learning techniques, which enabled the detection of subtle vocal changes indicative of type 2 diabetes. The tool developed by Klick Applied Sciences exhibited an impressive accuracy of 0.89 for women and 0.86 for men in diagnosing diabetes.

Potential Implications and Future Directions

Kaufman highlighted the significance of this advancement, envisioning a future where individuals could perform initial diabetes screening at home using such technology. Confirmatory diagnosis would then be sought from healthcare providers if an initial risk is detected.

Experts not involved in the study, like Dr. Ari S. Eckman and Dr. Jason Ng, emphasized the potential value of this tool in tracking diabetes progression and simplifying patient diagnoses. Dr. Ng stressed the necessity for innovative screening tools due to limited access to healthcare, while Dr. Eckman highlighted its potential in assessing diabetes control and health progress.

The Promise of Digital Medicine

Kaufman expressed enthusiasm about the impact of this study on early detection and intervention for type 2 diabetes, potentially reducing complications associated with undiagnosed diabetes. She underscored the profound effect such technology could have on accessibility challenges related to screening.

This groundbreaking study heralds a new era in healthcare, showcasing the power of technology and voice analysis in revolutionizing the diagnosis and management of type 2 diabetes. The advancements in digital medicine hold promise for early detection, intervention, and improved accessibility in diabetes care.

New Hajj Policy 2024: Here Are All The Details

By

Pakistani pilgrims gearing up for the sacred journey of Haj have received heartening news, as the Caretaker Federal Minister for Religious Affairs, Dr. Aneeq Ahmed, declared a noteworthy reduction in government expenses for this spiritual undertaking. In a bid to offer uncompromised facilities without burdening pilgrims financially, the government has slashed Haj expenses by Rs0.1 million.

Suitcases and National Flag Scarfs

The announcement brings a ray of hope for pilgrims, as they will now be provided with added amenities and support during their pilgrimage. One of the standout provisions is the allocation of a 30kg suitcase for each pilgrim, ensuring they can carry necessary belongings without worry. Notably, female pilgrims will receive special scarfs (abaya) adorned with the national flag, a unique gesture aimed at promoting national identity and pride among the pilgrims, marking the first-time inclusion of such a provision.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Haji Camp Karachi, Dr. Ahmed shed light on the introduction of a mobile application designed to assist and guide pilgrims throughout their journey. This innovative app will provide navigation aid and ensure constant communication between pilgrims and relevant officials. Initially available in English and Urdu, the app will later include various regional languages, catering to a wider audience and facilitating ease of access for all pilgrims.

Karachi and Islamabad in Road to Makkah

Furthermore, efforts have been made to streamline the Haj process. Karachi and Islamabad have been integrated into Saudi Arabia’s Road to Makkah project, allowing the Karachi airport to handle immigration procedures for pilgrims. This strategic inclusion aims to expedite and simplify the journey for Pakistani pilgrims.

Dr. Ahmed emphasized the government’s endeavor to make Haj financially accessible for citizens by introducing a 20-day short Haj package. Additionally, plans are underway to accommodate Pakistani pilgrims in tents at Old Mina, addressing challenges posed by the distance to New Mina.

Financial Accessibility

With a commitment to pilgrim welfare, Dr. Ahmed assured oversight of private Haj operators, who will manage half of the secured 179,000 Haj seats. The Ministry of Religious Affairs will monitor these operators, holding them accountable for ensuring pilgrim safety and comfort throughout their journey.

As the government continues renovation work at the Haji Camp Karachi, Dr. Ahmed reiterated their dedication to enhancing pilgrimage facilities. However, it’s crucial to note that the announced package excludes qurbani (sacrifice) expenses during the Haj.

Additionally, intending pilgrims opting for a shorter stay in Medina will benefit from a further reduction of Rs 35,000 in Haj expenses. These measures underscore the government’s commitment to facilitating a spiritually enriching Haj experience while alleviating financial burdens for Pakistani pilgrims.
