Why Was Salman Butt Removed From His Role As Consultant?

Pakistan’s newly appointed selection consultant, Salman Butt, faced an abrupt termination within just 24 hours of his appointment. Chief Selector Wahab Riaz announced Butt’s removal, citing external pressures as the main trigger for this decision.

Wahab pointed fingers at the media, accusing it of attempting to tarnish the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) reputation due to Salman Butt’s inclusion in the advisory panel.

Initially, the PCB confirmed the appointments of Kamran Akmal, Rao Iftikhar Anjum, and Salman Butt as consultant members, drawing criticism for various reasons, notably the regional dominance in the panel. All three members hail from Punjab, historically a dominant region in Pakistan cricket.

However, the majority of the controversy was caused because of the appointment of Salman Butt. This marked his first association with the PCB since his ban for spot-fixing in 2010. Despite playing domestic cricket and participating in the PSL post-ban, Butt’s appointment stirred uproar. He had also taken up an analytical role for various media outlets.

Wahab clarified his role in Butt’s inclusion and subsequent removal, asserting his sole responsibility for these decisions. “Salman Butt isn’t on any PCB panel. The decision to take his name back is solely mine,” Wahab emphasized.

Acknowledging Butt’s cricketing acumen and his extensive coverage of domestic cricket in recent years, Wahab highlighted that Salman Butt was included as a consultant for opinions. However, media scrutiny and public opinion prompted the reversal of this decision.

Wahab defended his authority as the chief selector, underlining his prerogative in choosing his team. “As a chief selector, it’s my decision to select my team. However, due to discussions about nepotism, I’ve revoked this decision. I’ve already informed Salman Butt that he cannot be a part of my team,” Wahab stated.

Salman Butt, who played Tests, ODIs, and T20Is for Pakistan, faced a ban following the spot-fixing saga in 2010. Subsequently, he served a suspended sentence and was later convicted and imprisoned for conspiracy charges related to spot-fixing, alongside Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif.

IPL Franchise Punjab Kings Troll Shaheen Afridi After India’s Win

five-greatest-comeback-in-t20i-cricket-history

Punjab Kings, an IPL franchise, playfully trolled Pakistan’s left-arm pacer, Shaheen Afridi, after India secured a six-run victory over Australia in the final T20I.

India’s Shreyas Iyer notched a half-century, while fast bowlers Mukesh Kumar and Arshdeep Singh claimed a total of five wickets, guiding the home side to triumph on Sunday.

India won the T20I series 4-1 against the same opponents who crushed their World Cup dreams by defeating them in the final last month.

Australia, pursuing a target of 160 in Bangalore, seemed poised for victory with Ben McDermott’s impressive 54. Yet, their chase took a turn when the 28-year-old attempted a big shot against Arshdeep (2-40), resulting in a catch at long-off.

McDermott’s dismissal was followed by Kumar’s swift double blow (3-32), leaving Australia struggling at 129-7. Arshdeep’s final over was a standout, conceding only three runs and dismissing visiting captain Matthew Wade.

After the match, Arshdeep’s IPL side Punjab Kings shared a video of Arshdeep dismissing Wade on the social media platform X, accompanied by the caption, “Not against this 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭-𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐫, Matthew Wade.”

In a light-hearted reference, Punjab Kings alluded to Shaheen Afridi’s past encounter where Wade struck three consecutive sixes against him in the 2021 T20 World Cup semi-final, propelling Australia into the finals.

Sheikhoo Steel at IAPEX 2023

Strolling through IAPEX 2023, amidst the hustle of innovation and design, I found myself drawn to a stall that stood out not just for its imposing structure, but for the palpable buzz of excitement surrounding it. This was Sheikhoo Steel, marking their 1st year anniversary—a year that has redefined steel standards in Pakistan.

In a sector often clouded by traditional practices, Sheikhoo Steel emerges as a breath of fresh air. Their commitment to quality isn’t just a tagline; it’s a deeply ingrained philosophy, evident in every aspect of their operation. From employing cutting-edge technology to their meticulous approach in steel production, Sheikhoo Steel doesn’t just aim to meet standards; it would not be wrong to say that they are setting them, and really high too.

What truly sets them apart is their dedication to third-party testing, both locally and internationally—a move unprecedented in the Pakistani construction industry. This isn’t just about ensuring quality; it’s about building trust. Knowing that the steel you’re using for your home or skyscraper has been rigorously tested and meets international benchmarks offers a sense of security that’s hard to put a price on.

As I delved deeper into their story, I learned that Sheikhoo Steel is celebrating not just their first anniversary but a series of remarkable achievements aptly dubbed their stall representative as “Sheikhoo ki century!” They’ve rapidly become the fastest steel company in Pakistan to sell 100,000 tonnes of steel rebar, established a network of over 100 dealers, and spread their presence across more than 100 cities. Additionally, having over a hundred corporate clients speaks volumes about their reliability and the industry’s confidence in their product. Wait a minute; did anyone know about this? I didn’t. And it’s unheard in the Pakistani market for a local Steel player to be accomplishing such feats. Hats off to the team!

Overall, it’s this blend of relentless innovation, focus on quality, and commitment to customer satisfaction that makes Sheikhoo Steel a standout at IAPEX 2023 – seeing is believing! As they mark their first year in the industry, it’s clear that they’re not just selling steel; they’re shaping the future of construction in Pakistan. With each steel bar tested and approved, they’re building a legacy of trust and excellence. But in my opinion, what Sheikhoo Steel is really doing is actually settings a really good example for other manufacturers in the country to follow suit, given the ban on international imports that is ruining the local industry.

I was pleasantly surprised to witness this – a wonderful example to talk about. I feel the future looks bright for Sheikhoo Steel. If their first year is anything to go by, we can expect them to keep pushing boundaries, setting new standards, and playing a pivotal role in building a stronger, safer Pakistan. As I left their stall, it wasn’t just the gleam of polished steel that stayed with me, but the promise of a revolution in the making—a revolution pretty much led single-handedly, by Sheikhoo Steel. Kudos, full-stars, only praises – a big applause to them!

So, what do you think about Sheikhoo Steel’s impact on Pakistan’s steel industry? Come check out their stall at IAPEX 2023 and see the revolution for yourself! Let’s chat about how they’re changing the game.

Is It Better To Save Money In PKR Or Invest In A Car?

Right now, the economy of the whole world hangs in a tight balance. In some places, the conditions are better whereas they are worse in other places. The dollar keeps rising and falling against the rupee by quite a margin. If we look at how much the fuel price used to be in 2020 and now, we would be quite shocked! Thus, an important decision comes to find when thinking about saving money.

One of the best reasons to buy a car in Pakistan is that they retain their purchase value. If you were living abroad, your vehicle might devalue over time by a big margin. However, in Pakistan, cars can be considered as asset. They are considered something that a person can purchase and mature over years, so long as there is no major damage to it.

Buying a car instead of Pkr

Money Investment In Pakistan

Thus, here we are facing an important decision when it comes to investing our money. Should we save the money in PKR or should we buy an invest in a car? Of course, if we buy too old a car, then we might be going in a loss over time because any car older than 20 years requires maintenance. However, PKR is also devaluing currently. What Rs.1 Lac meant in 2021 is not the same as in 2023.

Thus, if you have more than Rs.5 lac sitting and you are looking to invest them somewhere wisely, purchasing a car with a high re-sale value can be a wise decision. You will have an asset on your hands, and a vehicle of your own for driving. Finally, the high re-sale means that you will be able to sell it at almost the same or a slightly higher price when looking to upgrade.

How to Keep Investing

Once you have sold your first car, you can put in a little extra in the money and then get another newer model in exchange. Thus, this cycle of upgrading can continue and you can experience other vehicles to drive as well. Thus, if you have money saved up and you are looking to keep saving, do not keep it only in PKR. Keep an emergency fund in PKR but also invest in something.

A car can be a safe investment if taken care of properly.

Has A Car Been in An Accident? 4 Ways To Find Out

Has a car been in an accident

Buying a car can be quite a task nowadays, especially with how unpredictable the market is. No matter where you live, you might have to browse quite a lot to find the perfect car. Many people have learned from experience on how to check each and every automobile they intend to buy. When it comes to purchasing an automobile, make sure to take a mechanic along with you for detailed inspection. However, if you are unable to do so, there are ways you can check if the car has been in an accident.

When it comes to an accident, it can be easy to conceal a car’s damage. Yes, people either paint over or replace the parts that have been in an accident, to try and retain the value of the car. However, even if the part has been replaced, there are ways to check for that.

1. Tapping for Accident Damage

Many times, when the damaged component has been painted over, one can see the difference in the shades. However, sometimes the part has been painted over quite well and it looks as if it blends to the naked eye. However, if you tap on the painted part with your knuckles, then tap it on some other part, the sound should be identical. If it is not, one of the two parts has been painted.

2. A Painted Trunk

It is not usual practice for people to have the inside of a trunk painted. If that has been done, it means there was damage present inside the trunk. This, in turn, means that the trunk was possibly hit from the outside so hard, it left damages on the inside. Be wary of cars that have painted trunks, because they have been in an accident, most likely.

3. Alignment and an Accident

Many times, a car’s alignment can get messed up due to an accident. If the car is not too old and the alignment is towards one side, then it might have been involved in an accident. Old cars develop alignment issues over time but newer ones should not have them. If they do, either the car has been in an accident or it has been driven quite rough. Both are red flags for a buyer.

4. Shiny Parts

If you are purchasing an older car and you see one part feels newer than the other, it can also mean the car has been in an accident. If the rear bumper feels like it is almost scratch-less, or one side skirt looks squeaky clean, maybe it has been replaced due to a hit on the car.

These methods are sure to help you navigate when buying a used car.

Karachi Named World’s Fourth Cheapest City In Cost Of Living

Karachi, the bustling coastal city on the Arabian Sea, has secured a commendable position as the fourth least-expensive city to reside in, as revealed by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) latest Worldwide Cost of Living survey for 2023. This recognition in affordability emerges amidst the backdrop of a shifting global economic landscape, making Karachi an attractive prospect for both residents and investors seeking cost-effective living solutions.

Global Trends

The EIU’s rigorous assessment process spanned 173 cities, examining over 400 price points encompassing various products and services. Karachi secured the 170th position, surpassing cities like Tripoli, Tehran, and Damascus in affordability. This ranking underscores the city’s favorable cost of living, a factor increasingly vital in today’s economic realities.

While Singapore retained its status as the world’s most expensive city for the majority of the past decade, Karachi’s positioning offers a stark contrast. The survey, conducted between August and September 2023, highlighted a global trend of a 7.4% average price surge across major cities, marginally slower than the previous year. Karachi, however, stood resilient in maintaining its cost-effective status amid global economic fluctuations.

Insights from the Survey

The survey’s insights shed light on the changing dynamics impacting cost-of-living indices globally. North American cities witnessed a decline in rankings, while Western Europe dominated the top ten expensive cities due to inflationary pressures on groceries and clothing, compounded by currency appreciation. Groceries experienced rapid price surges due to global food inflation, emphasizing the impact of supply-chain disruptions and climatic uncertainties on consumer costs.

Interestingly, contrasting reports earlier this year had labeled Karachi unfavorably in terms of overall livability, ranking it as the fifth least-desirable city according to The Livability Index 2023, also published by the EIU. This divergence underscores the multifaceted nature of city evaluations, encompassing aspects beyond cost, such as healthcare, culture, education, and infrastructure.

Changing Dynamics Impacting Cost-of-Living Indices

Karachi’s resilience in affordability amidst fluctuations in global economic indices serves as a testament to its unique position. The city continues to attract attention for its cost-effective living environment despite challenges faced in other livability aspects. Moreover, its strategic location as a commercial hub and cultural melting pot further accentuates its appeal as an affordable urban center ripe with opportunities.

In conclusion, Karachi’s standing as the fourth least-expensive city highlights its potential as an affordable haven in an increasingly costly world. While varied assessments provide diverse perspectives, this recognition underscores the city’s enduring position as an economical yet vibrant metropolis with both locals and global citizens seeking an affordable, dynamic lifestyle.

Rabia Anum, who had previously unfollowed the actor amidst social media controversies last year, extended her backing to Feroze for his recent statement.

Taking to her Instagram story, Rabia expressed her happiness over Feroze Khan’s tweet, highlighting the bravery in using personal mistakes as a positive lesson for others.

“Realisation, Forgiveness, No violence. I’m actually very happy to see Feroze Khan tweeting this. It’s brave. He has a huge fan following and it’s so important if he starts using himself and his mistakes as a positive lesson for others,” Rabia Anum wrote.

It’s pertinent to mention that Rabia Anum had unfollowed Feroze Khan in November the previous year, following a social media backlash.

The rift began when Rabia Anum chose to distance herself from actor Mohsin Abbas Haider due to allegations of domestic violence, leading to her exit from a morning show where both were invited.

In the wake of this stunt, netizens questioned why Rabia Anum continued to follow Feroze Khan, who was also previously accused of domestic violence, akin to Mohsin Abbas Haider.
