Former Players Slams Pakistan Exit from T20 Worldcup

Saturday, 6 October 2012

Pakistan's exit from the World Twenty20 has drawn criticism from several former players. Sri Lanka beat by Pakistan 16 runs. The team has qualified for the semi-finals in each of the four World T20s, winning the title in 2009.

   1.     The inconsistency of Shahid Afridi and Imran Nazir prompted former fast bowler Aaqib Javed Pakistan's bowling coach, to question their place in the side.

   2.     Former captain Zaheer Abbas and leg spinner Abdul Qadir were surprised at the decision to exclude all-rounder Abdul Razzaq from the playing Eleven.

3.     Former fast bowler Sikander Bakht views about Afridi and called for dropping other senior players in the side as well. "Its time for a change and drop Imran, Afridi, Kamran Akmal, Shoaib Malik, and ensure they don't come back again."

4.     "I don't think Abdul Razzaq has been treated fairly and given the respect he deserves as a senior player with many match-winning performances to his credit," Qadir said.

5.     Abbas said: “the captain Mohammad Hafeez had made some poor decisions, leaving out Razzaq being one of them along with not trying Kamran Akmal as opener.”

England beat India to seal 3-0 series win

Saturday, 17 September 2011

CARDIFF: England defeated India by six wickets in a rain-affected match here Friday to complete a 3-0 one-day series victory over the reigning world champions.

India looked to have posted a formidable total after piling up 304-6 off their 50 overs, with Virat Kohli lashing a superb century and veteran Rahul Dravid contributing 69 in his farewell one-dayer.

However sporadic rain showers delayed the start of the England run chase at Sophia Gardens, and when play finally resumed England had been set a revised Duckworth-Lewis target of 270 to win in 40 overs.

England captain Alastair Cook and number three Jonathan Trott both contributed half centuries before debutant Jonny Bairstow slashed an unbeaten 41 with Ravi Bopara 36 not out to steer the hosts to victory.
