Reviewing the World Cup’s management, showpiece income collection and fan attendance is anticipated during the ICC EB meeting. According to PCB sources, it would also include Pakistan’s hosting of the Champions Trophy in 2025 and the future of 50-over cricket.
Zaka had already traveled to Ahmedabad to see the big Pakistan vs. India game on October 14. India had taken seven wickets to win the match.
Due to Pakistan’s inability to advance to the World Cup semifinals, Babar Azam resigned as captain on Wednesday.
After being named the new T20I captain of Pakistan, pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi tweeted his appreciation and excitement. Afridi was selected as the T20I captain by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday, following Babar Azam’s resignation as captain of all three forms.
Following Pakistan’s failure to advance to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 knockout stages, Babar announced his resignation. Pakistan’s performance in the ICC World Cup in India was terrible; they managed just eight points from nine matches, finishing fifth. At an average of 40 and a strike rate of 82.90, Babar amassed the third-highest amount of runs for Pakistan in nine World Cup matches with 320 runs.
Afridi took to X to express his gratitude and honor for being the captain of Pakistan’s Twenty20 international team. He also promised to work hard to win cricket matches for the Men in Green.
Earlier, Zaka Ashraf, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee, sparked controversy ahead of the Pakistani cricket team’s October 5th ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 visit to India. In a video that has gone viral on social media, Ashraf refers to India as the “enemy country” or “Dushman mulk” when talking about the players’ new contracts.
