“Hit With Tomatoes, Rotten Eggs”: Ex-Pakistan Star Recounts 1996 World Cup Experience Upon Return From India, Says Babar Azam-led Side Lucky | Cricket News

[ad_1] Pakistan cricket is currently going through a tough phase. After a poor ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign, which saw the Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team finish fifth in the 10-team competition, it's time for assessment of the side. And, former Pakistan cricket team stars have not been too kind. From criticising the coaching staff to the Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, the side is under fire. However, according to former Pakistan cricket team pacer, Aquib Javed the treatment meted out to the current Pakistan cricket team is very mild compared to what happened to earlier teams."Can't we now even criticise a team after it comes home post a loss? These guys are lucky. In 1996, I personal experience that I had...we were afraid as we returned (from India). At the airport, even the s...

[ad_1] Virat Kohli (L) and Babar Azam© AFPFormer Pakistan fast bowler Aaqib Javed weighed in on the debate between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam and he believes that Babar may have a slight advantage due to his consistency. In a recent interaction, Javed was asked to choose between the two talented batters and he believes that Kohli has not scored as consistently as the Pakistan cricket team captain. “Kohli's seasons are amazing.

“Pakistan Has Always Given India Tough Time,” Ex Star On Teams’ World Cup Chances | Cricket News

[ad_1] File image of a cricket match between India and Pakistan.© AFPThe ODI World Cup, to be played later this year in India, will be an acid test for the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team. The side has not won an ICC title since 2013 and at home it will ve primed to lift the title. On the other hand, Pakistan performance will also be closely watched.

“Umran Malik Is Not As Trained And Fit As Haris Rauf”: Ex-Pakistan Cricketer Aaqib Javed | Cricket News

[ad_1] Haris Rauf and Umran Malik are two of the fastest bowlers in the world© AFPIndia's young pacer Umran Malik has emerged as a sensational talent over the last year or so. With his pace, Umran has bamboozled many batters and has gradually become an essential member of the Indian team in white-ball cricket. While there's no denying that Umran has the ability to bowl over 150kph in the game consistently, former Pakistan cricketer Aaqib Javed delved into the comparisons between the India pacer and Haris Rauf. Javed feels Malik isn't 'as trained and as fit' as Pakistan's Rauf."Umran Malik is not as trained and fit as Haris Rauf. If you look at him in ODIs, in his first spell he bowls around 150 kmph but by the 7th or 8th over the speed drops to 138 kmph," Aqib said in a video shared by E...

“Shaheen Jaisa Bowler Kaise Paida Karoge?”: Pak Great Fumes At PCB Medical Panel

[ad_1] Shaheen Afridi sustained a knee injury in T20 World Cup final© AFPDespite posting a total of 137 runs on the board in the final of the T20 World Cup 2022, Pakistan gave a tough fight to England. If it wasn't for Ben Stokes' resilience, the match could've ended in Pakistan's favour. But, many experts also feel that Shaheen Shah Afridi's injury also put the equation in England's favour. While Shaheen is now set to be out of action for months, Pakistan legend Aaqib Javed has questioned the medical panel's credentials.In a chat on Geo Super TV, Javed fumed at the fact that the Pakistan team played an unfit Shaheen at the start of the tournament.

“Without Jasprit Bumrah, India Lack Impact In Bowling Unit But THIS Player Can Be Game-Changer”: Aaqib Javed | Cricket News

[ad_1] Jasprit Bumrah isn't a part of Indian team in T20 World Cup 2022© BCCIThe Indian cricket team was dealt a few hefty blows heading into the T20 World Cup 2022, as star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah were ruled out of the tournament due to injuries. Without Bumrah, India's pace attack looks unconvincing. Even former Pakistan cricketer Aaqib Javed doesn't see India as one of the favourites going into the mega event but is of the opinion that Hardik Pandya in particular is someone who can change the course of the game on his own."India ki halat jo hain na woh bhi kuch aachi form main nehin hain. Unke batting bhi struggle kar raha hain, aur Bumrah ke bager bowling waisi nehin hain ki aap soche ki...ki ek impact hota hain bowler ka jo Shaheen ka hai ya Hari...

“There Shouldn’t Be Personal Attacks”: Babar Azam On Aaqib Javed’s Strike Rate Comment | Cricket News

[ad_1] Pakistan captain Babar Azam is one of the best players going around in present-day cricket, however, his strike rate is always a point of debate when one talks about the shortest format of the game. Babar is ranked at No.3 spot in T20I rankings, however, he has often been criticised for his strike-rate when he comes out to open the batting alongside Mohammad Rizwan. Earlier this month, former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed had taken a dig at Babar, saying whenever his side came up against Karachi Kings which Babar leads in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), they never tried to dismiss Babar because of the pace at which he bats.Ahead of the seven-match T20I series, Babar was asked about Javed's comment, and he went on to say there shouldn't be "personal attacks", and he does not pay atte...

T20 World Cup 2022: Former Pakistan Pacer Hints At Babar Azam’s Slow Strike Rate With Sarcastic Example | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed has come out and made a strong statement on Babar Azam and his strike rate in T20Is. Javed claimed that in big chases, having Babar and Mohammad Rizwan can be detrimental for Pakistan as they are similar players and they tend to let the required run-rate go too high. Javed, who is the Director of Cricket for Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), also said that the team selection for the T20 World Cup is still "doubtful", especially raising questions about the batting composition."When you knew that the World Cup was happening, and even today, the selection is doubtful. Because they should have done this six or eight months back, that this is our squad of 20 players. And there's a reasoning for that," Javed told Sports Paktv."You hav...
