“Rest In Peace Pakistan Cricket”: Rashid Latif Launches Scathing Attack At Board | Cricket News

[ad_1] No matter what goes around, Pakistan cricket often manages to make headlines for the wrong reasons. The change in management at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was supposed to take cricket in the country to new heights but under the leadership of Najam Sethi, many former cricketers of the nation have raised questions on the way the governing body is being run. Pakistan legend Rashid Latif, on Tuesday, launched a scathing attack at the PCB, even suggesting that the Pakistan team can now 'rest in peace'.Latif's comments came after Pakistan Cricket Board announced Shadab Khan as skipper for the T20I series against Afghanistan, with Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi being rested.

On Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma’s T20I Future, Pak Legend’s Message To Rahul Dravid, Hardik Pandya | Cricket News

[ad_1] File image of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli© AFPThe Indian cricket team has begun a new era in T20I cricket, with youngsters getting more and more opportunities in the team, under the leadership of Hardik Pandya, while veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma continue to sit out. Though neither of the two has expressed the desire to quit the shortest format, there's little to no clarity over their future. Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif feels at least one of the two veteran batters -- Kohli and Rohit -- needs to return to the shortest format fo India."You might get a replacement for KL Rahul but it won't be that easy to find replacements for seasoned players (like Kohli and Rohit). Yes, Shubman Gill, Prithvi Shaw, Ishan Kishan might take their places in the future. But these...

Rashid Latif “Lobbyist”, Aamir Sohail “Zombie Figure”: Wasim Akram On Ex Pakistan Teammates | Cricket News

[ad_1] File image of Wasim Akram© TwitterWasim Akram's autobiography 'Sultan: A Memoir' is one book which is full of controversial statements regarding the Pakistan cricket team during the pace legend's playing days. Earlier reports revealed that in the book, Akram criticised former captain Saleem Malik saying: "He was negative, selfish and treated me like a servant. He demanded I massage him, he ordered me to clean his clothes and boots."Now, Wasim Akram has criticised another former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif. "The lobbyists were at work. In July 2000, Rashid Latif gave an interview to The Sunday Telegraph in which he claimed to have been offered £15,000 to ensure Pakistan were bowled out for under 300 in the 1996 Lord's Test. And who knows? Maybe he had. But had he told me, his cap...

“Nahi Hota Chase Aise”: Ex Captain Rashid Latif Tears Into Pakistan Batters Over Slow Innings In Asia Cup Final

[ad_1] Former Pakistan captain Rashid LatifPakistan surrendered to Sri Lanka in the final of Asia Cup 2022 as its batters failed to maintain the momentum needed to chase down the target of 171 runs in Dubai. Pakistan gave away more than 100 runs in the last 10 overs in the field after having Sri Lanka 5 wickets down in the first 10 overs. After that, the duo of Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed batted rather slowly to make the job tough for the middle order batters and Pakistan eventually capitulated under the pressure of the rising asking rate.Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif tore into the batters for their strategy and said that Sri Lankan batters scored at a good pace in the second half of the innings despite losing wickets.Latif literally counted the number of overs that the Lan...

“Virat Kohli Can Never Become Rohit Sharma Or Suryakumar Yadav”: Ex-Pakistan Captain | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Virat Kohli© AFPThere has been a lot of talk regarding Virat Kohli's form this year, but so far, the right-handed batter has come up with good performances in the ongoing Asia Cup. He first scored 35 runs against Pakistan and then he backed it up with an unbeaten 59-run knock against Hong Kong. However, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has criticised Kohli, saying he is not a "great" T20 player, and he can never become Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav."Virat Kohli has never been a great T20 player. We compare him to the likes of Kane Williamson, Joe Root or Steve Smith but none of them have been match-winning players in T20s. These all take the game along, playing an anchor role. Virat Kohli is a great ODI player. He cannot become Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav...
