[ad_1] Pakistan cricket team in action© AFPFormer Pakistan cricket team all-rounder Abdul Razzaq expressed concern at the lack of balance in the visiting New Zealand team ahead of the T20I series against Pakistan starting Friday. Some of the Kiwi players are currently in India for the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) while a few have been ruled out due to fitness concerns. In a recent interaction, Razzaq said that the national team should be a cricketer's first priority and wondered how they acquired No-Objection Certificates (NOC).“New Zealand should have sent a full team. Some players have gone to the IPL and some are unfit. There is not much interest in the series. In the Test series, they had a full team and there were some exciting matches. Seems like they have just sent a team d...

If one is to pick the name that sits atop the list, most would arguably go with Sachin Tendulkar. However, former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has revealed that it wasn't Tendulkar the Pakistan cricket team most feared while playing against India during his time as an active cricketer. It was Virender Sehwag that the Pakistan team considered the 'most dangerous', with Tendulkar occupying the second spot in the list."Virender Sehwag was the most dangerous player. After that Sachin Tendulkar. Pakistan used to plan against Sehwag and Tendulkar. Our plan used to be like - if we get these two wickets - Sehwag and Tendulkar - we will win the match. In bowling, our b...

[ad_1] The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are travelling on two parallel roads, with both wanting different outcomes from the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 saga.

[ad_1] Shaheen Afridi and Jasprit Bumrah are among the most lethal pacers in the subcontinent currently. Bumrah is currently sidelined with injury.

In 60 T20Is he has scalped 70 wickets. Left-arm pacer Shaheen, on the other hand, has taken 99 wickets in 25 Tests. The 22-year-old has 62 wickets in 32 ODIs and 58 wickets in 47 T20Is.While statistics might indicate that the two pacers are almost equally effective, former Pakistan all rounder Abdul Razzaq thinks differently."Shaheen bahut accha hai, Bumrah toh uske paas bhi nahi aata (Shaheen is very good. Bumrah doesn't come near him)," Abdul Razzaq told P...
