bangladesh-najmul-hossain-shanto-imitates-messi

Bangladesh Test captain Najmul Hossain Shanto shared a heartwarming photo on social media, after the historic series victory over Pakistan, evoking memories of another legendary figure in the world of sports—Lionel Messi.

Shanto, who became the first Bangladesh captain to defeat Pakistan in a Test match, didn’t just stop there. He went on to lead his team to an unprecedented clean sweep, clinching the series 2-0. The victory was capped off with a six-wicket win in the second Test, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of Bangladesh’s achievement.

A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

After the series win, Shanto was understandably overwhelmed. In the immediate aftermath, he struggled to find the right words to express his emotions. However, the very next day, he managed to convey his feelings in the most endearing way possible.

In a picture posted on his Facebook page, Shanto is seen sleeping peacefully next to the series-winning trophy. The image, accompanied by the simple yet powerful caption “Good morning,” captured the pure joy and fulfillment of a captain who had just led his team to a historic victory.

The photo was reminiscent of the moment when Lionel Messi, after winning the World Cup, was photographed sleeping with the coveted trophy—a symbol of hard-earned success.

Shanto’s post quickly went viral, resonating with fans around the world. It wasn’t just a celebration of the victory, but a testament to the dedication, hard work, and belief that had brought Bangladesh to this moment.

A Captain’s Journey: From Hope to History

Shanto’s journey to this point was not without its challenges. Before the series began, he had confidently stated, “We have a chance to do well this time.” At the time, his words were met with skepticism. After all, Pakistan had a dominant record against Bangladesh in Test cricket.

But the belief of Bangladesh captain never wavered, and his team’s performance on the field validated his optimism. In the first Test, Bangladesh shocked the cricketing world by defeating Pakistan by 10 wickets, marking their first-ever Test win against the hosts.

Major Reasons Behind Pakistan’s Loss Against Bangladesh

pakistan-dressing-room-drama-bangladesh-defeat-pakistan-cricket-needs-more-than-quick-fix-haroon-rashid

The fans of Pakistan cricket were left in disbelief as their team, once considered favorites, was outplayed by Bangladesh in a historic and humiliating Test series defeat on home soil.

Before this series, Pakistan had never lost a Test match to Bangladesh, with an impressive record of 12 wins and one draw in their previous 13 encounters.

However, cricket’s unpredictability struck once again, as Bangladesh not only secured their maiden Test win against Pakistan but also swept the series 2-0, rewriting history in the process. So, what went wrong for Pakistan? Let’s dive into the key factors that led to this shocking defeat.

Over-dependence on Mohammad Rizwan

Pakistan’s batting woes were evident throughout the series, with one glaring issue standing out—an over reliance on Mohammad Rizwan. The experienced wicket keeper-batter was the standout performer for Pakistan, scoring 294 runs in four innings at an astounding average of 98.

His contributions included a heroic 171* and 51 in the first Test and gritty scores of 29 and 43 in the second. However, Rizwan’s brilliance was overshadowed by the lack of support from his fellow batters.

did-shan-masood-deny-mohammad-rizwan-double-century

While Saud Shakeel’s 141 in the first innings of the first Test offered a glimmer of hope, his subsequent scores of 0, 16, and 2 highlighted the inconsistency that plagued Pakistan’s batting order.

Even former captain Babar Azam, who was expected to lead from the front, managed only 64 runs across four innings at a dismal average of 16. Abdullah Shafique, too, had a forgettable series, with just 42 runs to his name.

This over reliance on Rizwan not only exposed the fragility of Pakistan’s batting lineup but also put immense pressure on one player to carry the team—a burden that proved too heavy in the end.

Missed Opportunities

Despite the series loss, there were moments when Pakistan had Bangladesh on the back foot, largely due to their bowlers. However, these opportunities were squandered due to a lack of killer instinct and poor decision-making.

In the first Test, Pakistan’s decision to declare their first innings at 448-6 was questionable. Although the bowlers initially reduced Bangladesh to 53-2 and 218-5, they failed to press home the advantage.

The visitors managed to post a mammoth 565, thanks to Mushfiqur Rahim’s brilliant 191, with the last five wickets contributing a staggering 347 runs. The second Test followed a similar pattern.

Ahmed-Shehzad-Pakistan-Bangladesh

Pakistan had Bangladesh reeling at 26-6 after posting 274 in their first innings. Yet, they allowed the visitors to recover to 262, with Litton Das leading the fightback with a crucial 138. Once again, the bowlers let the game slip away, and Pakistan found themselves chasing a series they had once seemed poised to dominate.

These missed opportunities were demoralizing for Pakistan, ultimately leading to their collapse in both Tests. Bangladesh’s resilience with the bat, coupled with Pakistan’s inability to capitalize, turned the tide in favor of the visitors.

Shan Masood’s Struggles as Captain

Leadership, or the lack thereof, was another critical factor in Pakistan’s downfall. Shan Masood, who took over the captaincy after Pakistan’s 3-0 drubbing in Australia, failed to inspire the team both as a leader and as a batter.

Masood’s record in the Test format has been mediocre, and his performance against Bangladesh did little to silence his critics. He managed only 105 runs in four innings at an average of 26.25, with a lone half-century to show for his efforts.

shan-masood-to-drop-babar-rizwan-shaheen

More importantly, his leadership was uninspiring, and his tactical decisions often seemed off the mark. Masood’s post-match comments, where he lamented Pakistan’s inability to learn from their mistakes, were ironic, given that he himself failed to lead from the front.

His lack of assertiveness and vision allowed the game to drift away from Pakistan at crucial junctures, setting the tone for the team’s insipid performances.

The 2-0 series loss to Bangladesh is a wake-up call for Pakistan cricket. It exposed the team’s over reliance on a few players, their inability to seize key moments, and the leadership void that currently exists. While the defeat is disappointing, it also offers an opportunity for introspection and rebuilding.

Angry Ahmed Shehzad Blasts Pakistan Team After Bangladesh Defeat

ahmed-shehzad-blasts-pakistan-after-bangladesh-defeat

The cricketing world was left stunned as Pakistan faced a historic and humiliating defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in a two-match Test series at Rawalpindi. The loss not only shattered the hopes of Pakistani fans but also sparked an outpouring of criticism from former players.

Among the most vocal critics was former Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad, who unleashed a scathing critique of the team’s performance, raising serious questions about the current state of Pakistan’s Test cricket.

Shehzad, who has never been one to mince words, took to social media to express his frustration. His words cut deep as he questioned the competence of the Pakistani players.

“Bangladesh has whitewashed Pakistan in their own home conditions. You don’t know how to play; you’re not capable enough to play,” Shehzad remarked, reflecting the sentiments of many disillusioned fans.

Bangladesh Outclassed Pakistan

What makes Bangladesh’s victory even more remarkable is the context in which it was achieved. The visiting team arrived in Pakistan amid political turmoil back home, with limited preparation time.

Despite these challenges, they managed to outplay Pakistan in every aspect of the game. Shehzad was quick to acknowledge Bangladesh’s resilience and skill, praising their ability to perform under pressure.

Ahmed-Shehzad-Pakistan-Bangladesh

“All their practice sessions have also been conducted after they arrived in Pakistan. The condition their country was in at that moment of time was also not that good. They have come to Pakistan and have outplayed you without breaking a sweat,” Shehzad stated.

Missed Opportunities and the Fallout

The series was a tale of missed opportunities for Pakistan. In the second Test, after posting a decent total of 274, Pakistan had Bangladesh on the ropes at 26/6. However, the Pakistani bowlers couldn’t maintain their momentum, allowing Litton Das and Mehidy Hasan to orchestrate a stunning comeback.

Bangladesh eventually posted 262, and Pakistan faltered in their second innings, managing just 172 runs. This left Bangladesh with a relatively simple target, which they chased down with ease.

Shehzad didn’t shy away from highlighting Bangladesh’s superior approach to the game. “The manner in which they played their cricket, the way they dominated, the approach with which they batted, the style in which they bowled—it was all top-notch,” Shehzad remarked.

babar-azam-is-like-virender-sehwag-rashid-latif

Bangladesh’s series victory in Pakistan marks only their third away Test series win, following previous successes against the West Indies and Zimbabwe. For Pakistan, however, the defeat extends their home Test win drought to 10 matches, with their last victory on home soil dating back to 2021 against South Africa.

The Road Ahead For Pakistan

Pakistan’s Test cricket team is in dire need of a turnaround. The defeat against Bangladesh should not just be seen as a low point but as an opportunity to reassess and rebuild. Ahmed Shehzad’s critique, while harsh, underscores the passion and expectations that the nation has for its cricket team.

The question now is whether Pakistan’s cricketing authorities will heed the call for change and steer the team back to its winning ways. Only time will tell if this defeat becomes a turning point or just another chapter in a series of disappointments.

New UAE Initiatives For Pakistani Expats: Here’s What’s On Offer

The most recent visa amnesty program in the UAE has been a great relief to many Pakistanis living there. The amnesty, which begins on September 1 and runs through October 31st of 2024, offers ‘illegals’-including people who have let their visas expire and tourists along with deserters- the rare chance to legalize or return home for Pakistan without running into vengeance visits from thugging authorities or future travel bans.

A Game-Changer for the Pakistani Community

This decision could provide new life to the 1.7 million Pakistani expatriates living in the United Arab Emirates, who are the nation’s second-largest group. Many people who had been living in fear of the legal ramifications of their unlawful status can now breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the visa amnesty. For those who want to return or visit frequently, it means avoiding the financial and legal ramifications that come with overstaying a visa.

When this news emerged at home and abroad, both the Pakistani Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General of Dubai immediately raised their level of support for Pakistani compatriots living in the Emirates. Both missions say they will be working every day until the end of October this year, according to the significance attached by those organizations to this chance.

Essential Services for a Smooth Transition

From national identity card (NIC) renewals / applications through passport issuance up to affidavits and emergency travel documents for those without valid passports, this diplomatic service is indispensable in making sure Pakistani people can go through the amnesty process smoothly and effectively.

The Pakistani Embassy in Abu Dhabi and the Consulate General of Dubai in UAE both still call on all eligible Pakistanis to take the opportunity of this amnesty period to resolve their visa-related problems. In no uncertain terms the two missions pledged their unswerving support for compatriots during this tough time, making sure not one person gets left behind.

Mass Crowd vs Massive Sales: Preventing Security Failures

dream bazaar

Another day, another chaos. The recent incident during the launch of Dream Bazar in Karachi has raised numerous questions regarding safety concerns and crowd control management. This follows a similar situation that occurred a few days ago when a massive sale at A&S Apparel resulted in a stampede outside the store.

Who Is Responsible For Them

Many are wondering who is to blame. The brand or the crowd? While it’s easy to point fingers, the responsibility likely falls on both sides. The brand should have been able to anticipate the potential for a mass crowd. Moreover, take necessary precautions.

Effective mass crowd management is crucial to prevent such incidents from happening. On the other hand, attendees also have a role in maintaining order and ensuring their safety and that of others around them.

Prevention

Preventing horrible incidents like these requires precise planning. On top of that, the hosts should ensure there is adequate security. Preventing security failures at large events requires careful planning. Brands need to invest in expert crowd management professionals who can assess risks and implement strategies to keep everyone safe. This includes setting up proper barriers and organizing orderly entry and exit points. Plus, if necessary, they should have security personnel on hand to manage the situation.

Customers need honesty – always

Next, communication is key in matters like these. Brands should provide honest information about the anticipated attendees. This helps manage expectations and prevents overcrowding.

UMT leads in Providing Higher Education Scholarships Worth 11 Billion

UMT has significantly boosted its scholarship program, with the percentage of students receiving financial aid increasing from 40%

Lahore (3rd September)  University of Management and Technology (UMT) is spearheading a transformative initiative to improve both accessibility and educational quality in a country where only 10% of the population has access to higher education. President ILM Fund/UMT Ibrahim Hasan Murad has highlighted UMT’s significant steps in expanding educational opportunities across Pakistan.

He pointed out that Pakistan’s Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) lags behind international standards, with the United States at 85%, South Korea at 70%, India at 28% and Bangladesh at 18%.

Under the leadership of Ibrahim Murad, UMT has significantly boosted its scholarship program, with the percentage of students receiving financial aid increasing from 40% to an impressive 61% over the past five years. This outstanding progress not only underscores UMT’s role as a leader in national education but also establishes a global standard for social entrepreneurship and excellence.

UMT’s model is a beacon of success, thanks to the vision and foundation laid by the
late Dr. Hasan Sohaib Murad, says Ibrahim Murad. Former Minister Ibrahim Murad highlighted that the university has waived over Rs. 11 billion in
potential revenue to support its scholarship programs.

This is a substantial increase from Rs. 2.5 billion in 2018, representing a 400% rise in financial support. This remarkable growth underscores UMT’s unwavering commitment to assisting students, especially those from underprivileged
backgrounds.

President UMT emphasized the crucial role of higher education in promoting social mobility,
building human capacity, and empowering communities. It provides individuals from diverse and marginalized backgrounds the chance to rise above poverty and realize their full potential.

By enhancing access to quality education, UMT is making a significant impact on Pakistan’s growth and future success, he added.

Ibrahim Murad expressed that the university supports around 1,000 orphans, giving them the chance to pursue higher education and improve their future prospects. He also said that UMT emphasizes women’s empowerment, recognizing the essential role educated women play in driving social and economic development.

Murad also shared that behind these achievements there are collective efforts of faculty, staff, leadership, students, and alumni of UMT. We should all take great pride in this collective effort and continue to champion the value of higher education at every opportunity, he added.

Is Babar Azam On The Brink Of Retirement?

is-babar-azam-on-the-brink-of-retirement

In the age of social media, even the slightest dip in form can spark wild rumors, and for Babar Azam, the stakes have never been higher. The Pakistan cricket star, who has been struggling to find his rhythm on the field, is now facing a new challenge off it.

The relentless trolling, derogatory memes, and retirement rumors have become a regular part of Babar’s social media experience. It seems as though the digital world has turned its back on him during what might be the toughest phase of his career.

Retirement Rumors

Babar’s recent struggles with the bat have given rise to rumors on social media about his retirement. Following his disappointing performances in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh, where he managed just 31 and 11 in the second Test in Rawalpindi, the internet exploded with rumors of his retirement.

Some parody accounts of Babar Azam uploaded retirement posts, crafted to mimic the language of a real announcement, quickly went viral, misleading fans and stirring confusion.

One such post gained significant traction, thanks to its strategic timing and presentation. As if that wasn’t enough, another post appeared just hours later, this time from an account with a larger following and an X premium subscription, amplifying the impact.

The parody account mocked Babar, accusing him of preparing batting-friendly pitches during his tenure as Test captain to boost his own stats—a cruel jab at a player already struggling with confidence.

A Forgettable Year For Babar Azam

The past 12 months have been the toughest of Babar Azam’s career. His form has dipped across all formats, with numbers that are far below the high standards he’s set for himself.

After a disappointing ODI World Cup in India, where Pakistan failed to make an impact, Babar lost his ODI captaincy. His batting stats tell the story of a player in crisis: just 190 runs in 10 Test innings at an average of 19, and an ODI average that has plummeted to 34.

His T20I stats aren’t much better. While his average of 38 might look respectable, it wasn’t enough to carry Pakistan through the T20 World Cup, where they were knocked out in the group stages after a shock loss to the USA.

Babar’s struggles were evident during Pakistan’s tour of Australia, where he scored just 126 runs at an average of 21. His form didn’t improve in the T20 series in England, and even in the T20 World Cup, his low strike rate of 101.66 drew sharp criticism despite a decent average of 40.66.

Despite the relentless pressure and harsh criticism, Babar Azam remains determined to find his way back to form. His focus is now on the upcoming series against England, where he hopes to silence his critics and remind the world why he was once considered one of the best batsmen in the game.

‘Babar Azam Is Like Virender Sehwag In Bad Form,’ Claims Rashid Latif

the-fall-of-babar-azam-babar-azam-is-like-virender-sehwag-rashid-latif

Babar Azam is currently under the microscope, and not in the way fans would hope. His recent struggles with the bat have sparked a debate among cricket pundits, with former Pakistan wicketkeeper Rashid Latif making some eyebrow-raising comparisons.

The Sehwag Comparison

Rashid Latif’s analysis cuts deep, suggesting that Babar’s issues aren’t just a matter of poor form but are rooted in technical shortcomings. He likens Babar’s situation to that of Virender Sehwag, the explosive Indian opener known for his aggressive batting style.

Sehwag, despite his legendary status, often struggled to regain form when his technique faltered. Rashid Latif believes Babar is experiencing a similar downturn, where his aggressive instincts are leading to poor shot selection and ultimately, a prolonged slump.

“Babar Azam was a skilled player, but in the face of a lean patch, he started charging the ball harder, which made his shot selection really tough,” Latif noted. This observation is particularly telling, as it hints that Babar’s natural aggression, once his strength, is now working against him.

The Tendulkar Difference

On the other hand, Rashid Latif contrasts Babar’s situation with that of Sachin Tendulkar, arguably the greatest batsman to ever play the game. Tendulkar, according to Latif, was able to navigate through rough patches because of his flawless technique.

Where Sehwag struggled, Tendulkar thrived, using his sound batting foundation to overcome dips in form without much trouble. “Since Sachin had a sound and good batting technique, he never took time to overcome the patchy form,” Latif pointed out.

The implication here is clear: while Babar has the talent, his technical flaws are preventing him from pulling himself out of this slump as quickly as Tendulkar once did.

Babar’s Battle: Time to Refine?

Latif’s comments serve as both a critique and a warning. He believes that unless Babar Azam refines his technique, his struggles will continue, much like Sehwag’s did during his lean phases.

Babar’s recent performances seem to back up this claim. In the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh, he has only managed to score 22, 31, and 11 runs—numbers far below what fans and selectors expect from a player of his caliber.

“Babar is literally failing to decide which ball to hit or leave. The entire problem in his batting lies here only,” Latif added, emphasizing the need for Babar to reassess his approach at the crease.

Ahmed Shehzad Expresses Frustration Over Pakistan’s Batting Collapse

Pakistan’s Test series against Bangladesh has been anything but smooth sailing, and Ahmed Shehzad isn’t holding back his disappointment. In a recent video posted on his social media accounts, Shehzad expressed his frustration over Pakistan’s dismal batting performance, especially after a promising start in the second Test.

Bangladesh On Top

It’s not every day that Bangladesh’s cricket team dominates the headlines, but this series has been full of firsts—unfortunately, for Pakistan. Day 4 of the second Test saw Bangladesh pacers tearing through Pakistan’s batting lineup, leaving them in tatters at 117-6 by lunch.

The situation was dire, and while Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha showed some fight with their respective scores of 43 and 47, it wasn’t enough to salvage the innings. Pakistan ended up with a modest total of 172, setting Bangladesh a relatively easy target of 185 runs.

For Bangladesh, this series has been historic, and Ahmed Shehzad couldn’t help but point out that Pakistan seemed to be making it easy for them. “Pakistan has made another unwanted record against Bangladesh. It seems like the Bangladesh cricket team has come only to make records,” Shehzad remarked with a hint of exasperation.

Missed Opportunities For Pakistan

What’s most frustrating for Shehzad—and many Pakistan fans—is the way Pakistan allowed Bangladesh to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. At one point, the visitors were reeling at 26-6, thanks to some brilliant bowling by Khurram Shahzad and Mir Hamza.

However, what followed was a nightmare for the home side as Bangladesh’s lower order staged a remarkable comeback with a 150-run stand for the seventh wicket. “This has happened for the first time in history that a team had taken 6 wickets inside 30 runs and then sees a 150-run stand for the seventh wicket take the match away,” Shehzad lamented.

A Glimmer of Hope

While the result was disappointing, Shehzad was quick to praise the efforts of Pakistan’s young pacers, Khurram Shahzad and Mir Hamza. Both players, who have been toiling away in domestic cricket, finally got their chance to shine on the international stage—and they didn’t disappoint.

“These youngsters, who had been waiting for their chances for a long time, delivered for you. Khurram Shahzad bowled well today, hitting the weak areas of the Bangladesh batsmen, exposing their weak techniques,” Shehzad said, giving credit where it was due.

Ahmed Shehzad’s comments should serve as a wake-up call for Pakistan cricket. The team’s inconsistency and inability to capitalize on strong positions have been recurring issues. While the Khurram Shahzad and Mir Hamza offer hope for the future, the team as a whole needs to find a way to turn promising starts into match-winning performances.
