Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi recently voiced his concerns about Babar Azam’s leadership skills while also extending support for him to continue leading the team, especially during the upcoming Test series against Australia.
In a recent media interaction in Karachi, Afridi expressed his admiration for Babar Azam, acknowledging the criticisms he faced for questioning Babar’s captaincy. “I am a big fan of Babar, and so are many others. People criticized me for criticizing Babar’s captaincy. Babar has always been like a younger brother to me,” Afridi said.

Disappointment with Babar’s Captaincy Progression
However, Afridi conveyed disappointment at Babar’s captaincy tenure, highlighting that despite substantial support, the 28-year-old hasn’t yet proven himself as a captain and leader. “I wanted Babar to be among the top captains. He has been leading for 3-4 years, and during this time, there was never a threat to his captaincy. We all supported him, hoping his experience would make him better. But that hasn’t happened. We’ve seen a lot of mistakes,” Afridi remarked.
Emphasizing Collaborative Leadership
Afridi emphasized the importance of collective teamwork in successful leadership, suggesting that a leader should unite several performers rather than relying on one or two individuals. “A leader has to be strong and take everyone along with him. It’s not just one or two players; it’s about 7-8 performers moving forward together,” he added.
Despite his criticisms, Afridi maintained that there should be no immediate changes in the captaincy, especially with the impending Australia tour. “The Australia series is significant, and I understand the responsibility. I don’t think there should be any changes in captaincy, especially in Test cricket. Babar Azam should continue to lead,” Afridi concluded.

Get ready for some big changes from Apple! Tim Hardwick’s latest news on November 9, 2023, suggests that Apple has some exciting surprises in store for us. At the WWDC event in 2024, Apple is all set to introduce an improved Siri that runs on powerful language models. This upgraded Siri will make its debut in iOS 18. But here’s the catch: Some super cool new AI features might only be available on the iPhone 16, according to a fresh rumor.
Generative AI and iPhone 16’s Unique Features
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed that Apple has been working hard on making Siri smarter using something called “generative AI.” This new Siri, along with other AI features using Large Language Models (LLMs), will be part of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18. However, Apple is still thinking about how to use this fancy AI. They’re trying to figure out if it should stay inside our devices, work from the cloud, or maybe do both things together. It’s not clear yet if these AI features will need special hardware or if they’ll be available on all devices running iOS 18.

Anticipated iOS 18 Features and Siri’s Enhanced Capabilities
But wait, here’s something interesting! A leaker shared some fresh details. They say that iOS 18 will bring the new LLM to many existing devices using cloud-based AI. However, the super new AI features might stay exclusive to the iPhone 16.
Sources spilled some beans on what we might see in iOS 18. They talked about how Siri could work better with Messages, making it easier to ask tricky questions and finish sentences. Also, there might be AI-generated playlists on Apple Music and cool stuff happening with apps like Pages and Keynote.

Apple’s Commitment to AI Innovation
The iPhone 16 is going to be a big deal. It will have new A-series chips made by a company called TSMC, which should make the phone work better. TSMC is famous for making powerful chips used in things like AI tools and data centers.
And guess what? There’s talk about an extra button on the iPhone 16! It’s called the “Capture Button,” but nobody knows what it does yet. This button can sense touch and pressure and gives a small buzz when you press it. Could it be for some cool AI stuff? We’ll have to wait and see!
Apple is serious about AI. They’re investing a whopping $1 billion every year in AI research. Big names like Craig Federighi, John Giannandrea, and Eddy Cue are leading the charge to make Apple’s AI dreams come true. Exciting times ahead for Apple fans!

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has dismissed recent media reports claiming an age limit being imposed on flight attendants on international routes, particularly to Canada.
Addressing the media reports, a PIA spokesperson denied any official decision to enforce age restrictions, emphasising that the airline’s management has not taken such measures.
The confirmation came after local media outlets suggested that PIA had introduced new guidelines to prevent crew members from ‘disappearing’ abroad.
These reports indicated that the national carrier would no longer deploy younger individuals on international flights, with only those over the age of 50 performing flight attendant duties on certain routes, including Canada.
It is pertinent to mention that two PIA crew members, Khalid Afridi and Fida Shah, recently ‘slipped away’ prior to their return flight from Canada as they did not report back for duty.
The PIA spokesperson confirmed the incident, stating that the airline has contacted local authorities in Canada regarding the missing flight attendants.
Pakistani actor Hira Mani, known for multiple passions, once again embraced the challenge of singing, taking centre stage at Yashma Gill’s extravagant birthday celebration over the weekend. Despite humiliation on multiple fronts, Hira Mani didn’t hesitate to command the mic.
She not only rendered songs with her distinct voice but also added flair with energetic swirls and grooves. “This is especially for you, my baby,” the Do Bol actor dedicated a song to the birthday girl.
The audience enthusiastically grooved and sang along to the catchy beats of Indian music track ‘Muskaanein Jhooti Hai’ by Suman Sridhar and the timeless hit ‘Aankhein Milane Wale’ by the legendary Nazia Hassan.
While the guests seemed to be encouraging Hira Mani, netizens are still convinced that singing isn’t really her forte.
Some continued to question her passion for singing, humorously suggesting that the late Nazia Hassan might be turning in her grave at the thought of Hira Mani performing on her songs.
Despite the ongoing critiques, one user acknowledged Hira Mani’s confidence in continuing to sing, even in the face of criticism.
Several netizens took a lighthearted approach, poking fun at Hira Mani’s uninvited stage appearances in the past.
Some users joked that Yashma Gill might be regretting the invitation, alluding to Hira Mani’s history of spontaneously taking the stage.
To support this assumption, it’s pertinent to mention that Hira Mani wasn’t the only performer as Yashma Gill had invited Ali Tariq along with a proper band for a musical interlude.

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh came out in defence of star batter Virat Kohli over getting slower in the latter part of his innings to complete century.
Harbhajan Singh shed light on Virat Kohli’s selfless approach to the game, emphasizing that the star batsman prioritizes team victories over personal milestones. Harbhajan recalled a conversation with Kohli during the ongoing 2023 World Cup, where the skipper missed out on a century in one of the matches.
According to Harbhajan, Kohli, known for his intense focus on team success, remained unfazed by the missed century. During the chat session, Harbhajan shared Kohli’s response, stating, “It’s okay. There are a lot of matches, and hundreds will come when they have to.” This anecdote provides insight into Kohli’s mindset, highlighting his commitment to playing quality cricket and contributing to the team’s triumphs.
Source: X (Twitter)
As the leading run-scorer in the World Cup, Kohli has amassed an impressive 594 runs from nine matches at an outstanding average of 99.00. Despite falling short of a century once at 95, Kohli’s consistent performance underscores his team-oriented mindset.
Harbhajan Singh also commended India’s captain Rohit Sharma’s counter-attacking approach, attributing it to the team’s success. Highlighting Sharma’s changed approach and brilliant captaincy, Harbhajan noted how it has allowed other batsmen, including Kohli, the luxury of settling into their innings. The former spinner praised Sharma’s selfless play, emphasizing that he prioritizes setting the stage for the team rather than personal scores.
" Harbhajan Singh praising the selfless approach of Rohit Sharma and how his impactful innings help other batter like Virat Kohli to take time & settle down.
“Whenever India has enjoyed such starts,” Harbhajan added, “they have comfortably crossed the 300-run mark. Rohit’s aggressive approach sets the tone, giving Kohli and other batters the freedom to find their rhythm. His selfless approach is instrumental in providing a solid start for the team.”
Kohli’s dedication to team success and Rohit Sharma’s aggressive leadership on and off the field have become pivotal aspects of India’s campaign in the World Cup, showcasing a collective spirit that goes beyond individual achievements.

In a stark twist of fate, the once top-ranked ODI team, Pakistan, now faces the harsh reality that the fall from the summit is swifter than the climb. The ICC World Cup 2023, which began with high hopes, has turned into a challenging phase as they enter the rebuilding phase post-World Cup, while others vie for the coveted prize. Pakistan, having crashed out of the group stage, stands at the threshold of their most significant challenge yet – a constructive rebuild rather than a vindictive one.
Let us dive down about what went wrong for the Pakistan team during ICC World Cup 2023, other than Mohammad Nawaz’s lack of application as an all-rounder and Haris Rauf’s tendency to leak runs and look clueless in ODI cricket.
Top Order Stumbles
The nucleus of the Pakistan squad, including Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar, Shadab Khan, and Shaheen Afridi, remains largely unchanged from the 2019 campaign. However, the anticipated improvement in performance, given their additional experience, has not materialized. Issues like Fakhar’s loss of form, Babar’s struggle to convert starts, and the disastrous World Cup performance of Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah’s injury can be attributed to bad timing. Yet, the palpable stagnation in their overall play is becoming harder to ignore.
Imam-ul-Haq, despite being an ODI specialist, has struggled to vary his pace. His strike rate within the first 10 overs since his debut is eclipsed by several of his teammates, raising questions about his effectiveness at the top and his selection. The last time he struck at over a run a ball came in March 2022. Throughout his career, he has achieved a strike rate in excess of 100 just five times in 71 innings, two of them against Zimbabwe. None of those innings came in a World Cup match, either in 2019 or 2023.

Meanwhile, his opening partner Fakhar Zaman lost his form prior to the Asia Cup and continued to struggle through the warm-up games and the opening game against the Netherlands. He scored a mere 202 runs in his last 11 outings at a dismal average of 18.36 with 33 being his highest score. Although he scored match winnings 81 and 126 against Bangladesh and New Zealand respectively, his woeful form at the start was one of the major reasons for Pakistan’s struggle early in the tournament.
Leg-spin Woes Plague Pakistan
Shadab Khan, once a promising ODI spinner, now stands at a crossroads in his career. A comparison with his performances in the 2017 Champions Trophy and the 2019 World Cup reveals a significant decline. This World Cup has seen his average soar to nearly 120, and his economy rate has exceeded his career average by almost a run. Despite including an extra spinner, Usama Mir, Pakistan emerged as the worst spin-bowling side in the tournament, picking a mere 12 wickets and conceding an economy rate of 6.20.
Supporters clamoured for the inclusion of Abrar Ahmed, but Shadab dismissed the notion, stating “whoever’s not in the side becomes a great player.” The suggestion that Abrar could have outperformed his leg-spin counterparts is speculative, given his limited List A experience. He has only featured in 12 List-A matches and the last time he played a List-A match was in March 2022.

Shaheen Afridi’s Early Struggles
Shaheen Afridi’s inability to provide early breakthroughs has further compounded the challenges of the Pakistan cricket team during the World Cup 2023. While instances like dropping David Warner early in a crucial game highlight missed opportunities, Shaheen’s loss of pace may be indicative of underlying fitness issues. The left-arm pacer’s struggles mirror those of his counterpart Trent Boult, emphasizing the narrow window for early breakthroughs in the tournament. With Haris Rauf struggling to fire from the other end, the responsibility further weighed down upon Shaheen Afridi, and he majorly failed to fulfil in the absence of his new ball partner Naseem Shah.
Captaincy Under Scrutiny
Babar Azam had a forgetful World Cup 2023 as a batter and as a captain, he only managed to score 320 runs from nine outings with four half-centuries. The speculations surrounding his captaincy have intensified since Pakistan crashed out of World Cup 2023.
Despite expressing his desire to lead the rebuild, questions arise about whether this decision will be within his control. As reports suggest, he could lose captaincy in all three formats.
Babar’s in-game management and the ability to stem momentum shifts have been lacking, notably evident in losses to Australia and Afghanistan. In addition, how can one forget the mindboggling decision to hand the ball to Mohammad Nawaz ahead of Usama Mir when South Africa needed five runs with the wicket.

With over three years at the helm, the time may be ripe for a change as Pakistan looks ahead to rebuilding for the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, with few apparent leaders to step in, a mere change in leadership may not bring about the transformative shift that Pakistan needs.

Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif criticized the Pakistan cricket team after a dismal ICC World Cup 2023 campaign, asserting that the team appeared “too friendly” following their 93-run defeat to England, which marked the end of their tournament.
Despite securing four wins, Pakistan faced a historic setback, finishing fifth in the World Cup—unprecedented in their mega event history—with five defeats, failing to qualify for the knockout stages.
Kaif, who represented India in 138 matches, drew a stark comparison between the current Babar Azam-led unit and the formidable Pakistani sides of the past featuring cricketing legends like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Shoaib Akhtar.
“Somehow feel this Pakistan team was too soft, their pacers too nice. Wasim [Akram], Waqar [Younis], Shoaib [Akhtar] were intimidating. They would stare at you, even sledge. Babar [Azam], Shaheen [Afridi], [Haris] Rauf – they lacked that aura, they looked too friendly,” expressed Kaif on X, formerly Twitter.
Somehow feel this Pakistan team was too soft, their pacers too nice. Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib were intimidating. They would stare at you, even sledge. Babar, Shaheen, Rauf – they lacked that aura, they looked too friendly. #CWC2023
Kaif specifically highlighted the perceived lack of intensity from the current Pakistani captain, Babar Azam, and pacers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf during the prestigious ICC tournament. This observation underscores the team’s struggle to replicate the formidable presence that characterized the iconic Pakistani squads of the past.
The disappointment for Pakistan was magnified by their failure to qualify for the World Cup semi-final for the fifth time this century. The last time Pakistan reached the semi-final was in the 2011 World Cup against India, which ended in defeat, leaving fans and cricket pundits reflecting on the team’s future direction and strategies.

“I have faced many trials in my life. It is a good feeling to have people care for you in your trying time and being concerned for you. However, sometimes I felt that my family was never concerned for me in the same way.”
The tone of the video changed drastically as her husband joined in while sharing the tweets and unverified accounts people were using to spread fake news of their divorce on social media.

Pakistani actress Ayeza Khan finds herself in hot water again for her handling of an apology that has stirred a mix of disappointment and frustration among her fan base.
The apology began with a claim that her statement was being misinterpreted, raising eyebrows among fans.
The actress faced immediate scrutiny as fans criticised her for sidestepping the moral responsibility as a Muslim celebrity to address the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
Algorithmic Concerns:
Ayeza Khan’s observant fan base of over 13 million on Instagram quickly dissected her attempt to avoid naming Gaza in her apology.
One user accused Ayeza Khan of attempting to fly under the radar of the platform’s algorithm, which has been shadow-banning accounts that post spontaneously about sensitive topics.
The backlash didn’t stop at just criticism as some announced that they’re unfollowing her for not even doing the bare minimum as compared to other Muslim celebrities.
Ignorance or Intention?
Users questioned the actress’s promotional activities for her drama serials while seemingly undermining the impact of social media posting.
The criticism intensified as followers urged her to educate herself on the severity of the situation, speculating that her ignorant statements might lead to a loss of followers.
Some argued that she could have minimized the damage by addressing the issue promptly. A user noted that he did observe a couple of posts about the genocide, which isn’t enough to fear getting shadow-banned on Instagram.
It all started with Ayeza Khan’s response to the Israel’s carpet bombing in Gaza that has killed over 11,000, including more than 4,500 children, in an excuse to hunt down Hamas, a resistant group that formed in response to 75 decades of displacement and oppression from Israel.
In a post that posed the question, “Why are you not posting?” in reference to raising awareness about Palestine, Ayeza redirected the focus to the power of prayer. She articulated her belief that daily prayers hold more significance than daily social media posts, urging followers to pray fervently for the world and to avoid blame or finger-pointing on the platform.
“Because I know that praying daily is more powerful than posting daily,” said Ayeza as an answer to the query posed. “Please pray for the world as much as you all can and avoid pointing fingers and blaming each other on this platform. We all have children and loved ones, and we can all feel the pain. We cannot imagine how painful it is for them, but I am keeping my faith in Allah, and very soon, Allah will bring justice, Ameen.”
Broader Backlash:
Ayeza Khan is not the sole figure facing criticism, as Pakistan-based Jewish activist Shaniera Akram drew ire for being too scared to address the killing of Palestinian civilians by the Israeli military. The controversy escalated into a spat with Pakistani actor Armeena Khan, who called out Shaniera Akram for selective activism.
