Abdul Jabbar FaisalISLAMABAD: If Pakistan reach in the final of the T20 Asia cup 2025, all 11 players will have to deliver hundred percent in all the 3 deportments of the game including batting, bowling and fielding to overcome opposite team, this was stated by former Test cricketer and captain Shahid Khan Afridi while talking to the media-person here at National Press Club (NPC) on Wednesday.Shahid Afridi, with 27 Test, 398 ODI, and 99 T20 matches for Pakistan, said that he missed right-arm pacer Naseem Shah, as the pitches and conditions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were suitable, helping and supporting the seam bowlers. “Although Pakistani players are not producing sparkling performances, however, after toiling hard in all three departments of cricket, they can turn the tables of the match, “he maintained.Replying to a question, he said that with the ongoing cricket infrastructure at the domestic level of Pakistan could not compete with the top cricketing nations of the world. “The top officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will have to pay their attention to domestic cricket. When the domestic system will be strong you will get strong players in the national team, “he added.“When I was playing home cricket, there was very tough competition, and a player had to work hard to play in first-class matches. So, we need to work at the national level of cricket, and chairman PCB will have to work on it. We have tremendous talent, we can make unbeatable teams in all three formats, including Test, ODI, and T20, “he replied to another question.A question regarding the skipper Agha Ali Salman, Afrid said that he always supported and encouraged young players. “When PCB put the responsibilities of captaincy on the shoulders of Afga Salam, I had a different opinion. Now, he is young and leading the Green Shirts in international competition, we should back him and support him, “legendary former cricket Shahid Khan Afridi concluded, who got 44 Test, 395 ODI, and 98 T20 during his international career and scored 5 Test and 6 ODI tons. 

Islamabad (Sports Desk): The International Cricket Council (ICC), after a thorough review of affairs and extensive engagement with key stakeholders over the past year, today confirmed the suspension of ICC membership status of USA Cricket, with immediate effect.The decision, taken by the ICC Board during its meeting earlier, was based on USA Cricket’s repeated and continued breaches of its obligations as a ICC Member under the ICC’s Constitution. These include, but are not limited to, the failure to implement a functional governance structure, lack of progress toward achieving National Governing Body status with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC), and significant actions that have caused reputational damage to cricket in the United States and around the world.The suspension is an unfortunate but necessary step to protect the long-term interests of the game and the ICC’s top priority remains ensuring that the athletes and the sport itself are not impacted due to the suspension. The ICC Board has decided that USA’s national teams will retain their right to participate in ICC events, including preparations for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games (LA28).The management and administration of USA national teams will temporarily be overseen by the ICC and/or its designated representatives to ensure continued support for the players and maintain momentum towards Olympic inclusion. This approach reflects the ICC’s firm commitment to upholding the best interests of cricketers in the USA and the sustenance of a High-performance & Player development program which will seek to elevate the stature and capabilities of players representing USA.The ICC Normalisation Committee, supported by the ICC management, will outline the steps required for the suspension on USA Cricket to lifted and its membership rights restored. These will include demonstrable and specific changes to USA Cricket’s governance structure, operations and overall status in the Cricket ecosystem. The normalization committee will also monitor USA Cricket’s progress and provide consultatory support.The ICC remains committed to supporting the growth of cricket in the United States, protect the sporting ecosystem and its constituents, namely the athletes and bolstering its march towards a more significant role on the global stage.

South Africa bagged the series 2-1 after winning the first two matches on 16 and 19 September.Nashra’s career-best figures and Sidra Amin’s unbeaten half-century ensured Pakistan chased down a meagre 116-run target in 31 overs.Earlier, Pakistan skittled South Africa for 115 in 25.5 overs – their second lowest total against Pakistan in ODIs – as left-arm spinner Nashra wreaked havoc with figures of 9-2-26-6.Nashra became third – following Nida Dar and Sana Mir - and fastest (74 innings) among Pakistan Women’s bowlers to the 100 ODI wickets milestone besides registering her best bowling figures in the format eclipsing her previous best of 4-26 against India in ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2017 at Derby in England.After choosing to bat first, South Africa began briskly, reaching 38 without loss in 6.3 overs through skipper Laura Wolvaardt’s 28 off 23 balls comprising six fours.South Africa’s promising start was disrupted when Laura hit one straight to Muneeba off Diana Baig. Diana was involved again in the subsequent dismissal two overs later, catching Sune Luus, who became Nashra’s first prey with South Africa having gathered 50 runs in as many balls.In the last over of Powerplay, off-spinner Omaima Sohail struck to remove opening-batter Karabo Meso (12, 20b) caught and bowled leaving South Africa 59-3. Nashra then struck blow after blow to take 5-8 in her next six overs as South Africa slumped from 61-3 to 94-8. Syeda Aroob Shah – who returned to the ODI side after six years – picked up the last two wickets to wrap up South Africa’s innings as they registered their second lowest ODI score in last five years.In reply, Muneeba (44, 76b, 6x4s) and Sidra Amin combined for a 65-run stand for the second wicket following Omaima Sohail’s departure in the second over.South Africa’s Nadine de Clerk struck twice in 22nd over to remove Muneeba and Fatima Sana to reduce Pakistan to 66-3 before Natalia Parvaiz scored a 10-ball 14 including two boundaries in a 40-run fourth-wicket stand with Sidra.Following Natalia’s departure in the 29th over, Sidra (50 not out, 94b, 8x4s) finished the game with a boundary in the 31st over, reaching her 12th ODI half-century in the process. Sidra also finished with the most runs in the three-match series scoring 293 off 354 balls.Scores in brief:Match 3 of 3: Pakistan beat South Africa by six wickets at Gaddafi Stadium, LahoreSouth Africa 115 all out, 25.5 overs (Laura Wolvaardt 28; Nashra Sundhu 6-26, Syeda Aroob Shah 2-16)Pakistan 117-4, 31 overs (Sidra Amin 50 not out, Muneeba Ali 44; Nadine de Klerk 2-19, Nonkululeko Mlaba 2-46)Player of the match -Nashra Sundhu (Pakistan)Player of the series - Tazmin Brits (South Africa)Series results:16 September – South Africa won by eight wickets19 September – South Africa won by 25 runs (DLS)22 September – Pakistan won by six wickets
