"Like a subsidised lodger who storms out of his rented room after a quarrel before realising he has nowhere else to go, the board has meekly turned right back around and asked Babar if they might co-habit once more."

The decline of our cricketing fortunes post-2023 has led to us perhaps viewing the days of Misbah, Sarfaraz and Babar in perhaps a better light from a nostalgic viewpoint. It serves as silent vindication for Babar. I suppose, now that he has the captaincy, he's got the best chance to show what Pakistani cricket were missing.

Cricinfo made another article on Shaheen's decline in test cricket, with him not being played in favorable conditions. Unless a miracle happens though I don't see us becoming a world beating side anytime soon. Guess I'll be happy if we can win a couple of the next 5 tests.

Hello and welcome to Pakistan Cricket Trivia!

Nobody got the last answer which was the 1922/23 Lahore Tournament

1. Feroze Khan top scored for the Muslims, he represented Southern Punjab in FC
2. The tournament was split on religious grounds, so the Sikhs team comprised of 9 Singhs
3. The vast majority of the Muslims team would migrate (or already lived) in Pakistan post-1947, but obviously it was too early for Pakistan to participate

Today's theme is: Guess the Player

• I am an active white ball player who has represented Pakistan in 40 or more games
• I made my ODI debut in Australia
• I am a spinner
• Although I am a regular in the Pakistan team I have never played PSL

I just want to remind everyone that Dr. Mohsin Naqvi is still the PCB chairman. The facist regime like approach to criticism and toxic workplace is still at PCB.

Pakistan has been very bad in test cricket and the pressure to make a change is there. This would be the easiest option in their eyes. Make a fan favourtie the captain. they dont really have too many other options. Because no way will Aqib Javed get fired, he has the newds of someone in PCB.

I dont think Babar has a choice in denying the captaincy. Similiar to when he was given the ODI captaincy back despite leaving as captain recently.

Man like what does it take for you to understand that you're not built for captaincy?

You were the captain for 3-4 years and you didn't achieve anything with the team, what makes you think that you can accept captaincy again and do much better now.

Let alone in red ball. Mind you Babar has not played domestic red ball in I don't know how long and he's been as average as Shan for the past few years, we all love to hate and drag Shan but Babar has just been like him the past few years. I don't want to hear the whole oh Babar was so good 2023, yeah he was amazing in 2019 too. How has that fared for us in 2026? or 2023 even? or 2022 or 2024, the list goes on.

He's living off of an amazing period of his form and player ability. If he was any other player he would've been dropped like 2 years ago from all the squads. I will get a lot of hate for this from Babar fans but you all act just like those toxic Ronaldo fans who bring up bs like "he's hated cuz he's popular or some bs like that".

I used to like him a lot too at one point but honestly at this point I geniunely hate Babar, he's no better than Shaheen and Rauf.

He doesn't develop or change himself, shines a little in PSL and suddenly he's the best itw.

Its a sad state of damn affairs.

Once a star now he's just living off of that star status and "potential"

Who am I to hold back. OMG I HATE THIS SOOOOO MUCHHJJ idk why would babar accept this idc if we dont have anyone else he was starting to finally look better after idk 3 years and what did he decide ohh yeah lets take the captaincy so I can get more criticism and pressure on me. YEAH OFC THATS WHAT HE NEEDS TO PERFORM, YEAH THAT WAS THE INGREDIENT THAT WAS MISSING IN ORDER FOR BABAR TO ACHIVE 100 CENTURIES

Now if he doesnt wana learn why is captaincy bad for him and for the team overall, I think I should make it a personal agenda and criticise every small and minute mistake of him as a captain but that will help him learn.

I hate this guy so much man like js focus on your batting mannn

What no cricket does to a mf. Here's an XI only featuring players that are named for prophets, where each name can only appear once except Mohammad which can appear twice given the quantity.

1. Saim Ayub

2. Hanif Mohammad

3. Younis Khan (c)

4. Mohammad Yousuf

5. Haroon Rasheed

6. Muhammad Rizwan (wk)

7. Mohammad Suleman

8. Arif Yaqoob

9. Mohammad Illyas

10. Shoaib Akthar

11. Muhammad Musa Khan

In very un-pakistan fashion the batting is stacked and the bowling sucks. Saim Ayub having more than decent spin saves the team balance. Hanif Mohammad would probably strangle him after seeing his first no-look scoop attempt. Also Musa Khan welcome back to cricket, I do like him he was just kinda hard done by debuting in Australia.

Wizard the Wicketkeeper makes short cricket + comedy skits on his YouTube channel that has featured multiple key moments of PSL and Pakistan games among other videos.

His videos had got a special feature of Usman Tariq and Cameron Green parody a few months ago. He finally meets Usman Tariq, who is playing the Vitality Blast in England right now.

And how did I come to know about Wizard the Wicketkeeper? He was one of my subscribers on one of my YouTube channels.
