Welcome to the club.

It is a fact that due to God gifted cricketing talents embedded in all Pakistanis right from the grassroot level to the top class cricket circles, there are plenty of cricketers of Pakistani origin winning laurels for their teams all over the world and Azharullah is no exception to it.

It's only up to the powerful electronic and print media to identify, pick and introduce these 'green-shirts' cricketers to the global cricket fraternity no matter which part of the world they are playing and which team they are representing. Rest as they say will be history as seen and confirmed in few cases that came to the fore like that of Fawad Ahmad, Imran Tahir, Usman Khawaja and many others.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan and new Patron of the PCB, Nawaz Sharif, has dissolved the governing board of the PCB, and formed a five-member interim management committee (IMC) to run cricket in the country. The PCB's acting chairman Najam Sethi‚ former chairman Shahryar Khan, former players Zaheer Abbas and Haroon Rasheed, former team manager Naved Cheema were appointed to the committee.

The IMC was directed by Sharif to elect one of its members as chairman, and the committee unanimously chose Sethi, who has been acting as caretaker chairman since July and will represent Pakistan at the ICC board meeting on October 18 and 19 in London

Sounds ****ing shady, IMO. Not that the PCB wasn't dodgy, but this sounds like some Srinivasan level ****.

Welcome to Pakistani politics.

 

[salman85]

Nothing shady here. It's because of a court order. That's it.

Stop Tendulkar praise, say Pakistani Taliban - Yahoo Cricket India

Shahid told media to rein in their criticism -- though he scarcely gave a ringing endorsement of Misbah's leadership.
"No matter that Misbah-ul-Haq is a substandard and low-level player, Pakistani media should praise him because he is a Pakistani," Shahid said in the video published online at the weekend.

Br00tal.

 

[smash84]

WTF.....aren't the Taliban supposed to be against Pakistan?

 

[Shri]

They are not too bright.

 

[smash84]

fair enough

 

[harsh.ag]

WTF.....aren't the Taliban supposed to be against Pakistan?

They just called your captain "A substandard, low-level batsman" and threatened the civil liberties of the general populace What more do they have to do convince you?

 

[smash84]

dude, in the end didn't he say that Misbah should be supported?

 

[Daemon]

It's actually really **** that they care about cricket. When will cricket in Pakistan ever resume?

 

[harsh.ag]

Good point. Now that everyone knows they care about cricket, it just got more difficult to get teams over there.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

What do people think of Ahmad Shehzad as a Test player. Does he look like he will go on to do well or will he end up like a typical Pak opener?

 

[danaandme]

Welcome to Pakistani politics.
