Watch: Babar Azam’s virtual interaction with Pakistan’s special fan is adorable

Pakistan team captain Babar Azam and manager Mansoor Rana caught up with a special fan of the national team, a young, specially-abled boy Mohammad Akeel, before their arrival in Cardiff for the first match of the three-match ODI series against hosts England. 

Akeel, a big fan of Babar and his Pakistan Super League side Karachi Kings along with the national team, lives in England and his video of welcoming the Pakistan team to England went viral in June this year. The special fan was earlier thanked by Babar personally on his official Twitter account. 

During this interaction, the happiness of the fan can be seen through the ever-present smile on his face during the entire video conversation. While Babar thanked him profusely for his support to the national team and wished him luck in his feature endeavours, Rana, the team manager threw a surprise to Akeel, asking the young boy to come and see Pakistan play against England at Leeds during the second T20I on July 18, 2021. 

Akeel liked the surprise very much and agreed to come and cheer for the Pakistan team. Before the T20I series, Babar and his team would be plying their trade in a three-match ODI series, starting July 8 with the first ODI in Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.

ECB guarantees safety of Pakistan players amid Covid outbreak, PCB satisfied with it

The Pakistan Cricket Board has been guaranteed and assured by England and Wales Cricket Boda that its players and support staff are being looked after well amid the sudden outbreak of Covid-19 cases in the England team’s bio bubble, forcing it to name an altogether different squad for the upcoming series. “Pakistan Cricket Board has been in close contact with the England and Wales Cricket Board regarding concerns about the health and safety of its players since the news of Covid-19 outbreak in the England camp was shared with it on late Monday evening,” PCB said in a media release on Tuesday, July 6. “The PCB is satisfied by the assurances and guarantees provided by the ECB on behalf of its medical panel, and feels comfortable with the existing protocols that have been put in place to ensure all the Pakistan players and player support staff remain safe and secure throughout the duration of the series,” it further added. The PCB has also spoken to its contingent in Derby and has advised them to take extra caution. “The PCB has also been in touch with its team management and has advised them to exercise extra caution while in the hotel or at the match venue,” the release said. Due to the sudden rise in cases, ECB was forced to make a lot of changes and roped in an altogether different squad from the one that was named days earlier. The new squad comprises nine uncapped players who would be vying for a place in the team in the first ODI on July 8 at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff.

Rashid Khan gets another bite of the cherry, appointed Afghanistan’s T20I captain

The International Cricket Council’s T20 cricketer of the Decade awardee Afghanistan sensation, Rashid Khan has been appointed as the captain of the national team in the shortest format. The Afghanistan Cricket Board, in a media release, also confirmed that experienced batter Najibullah Zadran would be Rashid’s deputy. The release also confirmed that ACB Chairman Farhan Yousefzai took the decision to replace Asghar Afghan as the national team’s skipper keeping in mind the upcoming T20 World Cup. Rashid was chosen for the role considering his experience, brilliant performance as well as leadership skills with the National team over the years. Ashgar has also been removed from his role as the team captain in ODIs and Tests too as young batter Hashmatullah Shahidi replaced him in those formats. “As per the decision, left-hander Hashmatullah Shahidi is appointed the new ODI and Test captain of the national team while Rahmat Shah will serve as the vice-captain for both formats,” ACB said in the same release. This is the second time that Khan has been appointed as the captain of the team. The first instance was of the 2019 ODI World Cup when he led the team in England and was later dropped after a dismal outing. The T20 World Cup 2021 would be on the radar of the newly appointed skier where Afghanistan is placed in Group B alongside England, India and South Africa. The other two teams of the group would be decided through the Qualifier round.

Nasser Hussain defends easing of restrictions amid Covid-19 'chaos' in ECB

Former England captain Nasser Hussain has said that the emergence of Covid-19 cases in the England team will create ‘chaos’ in the England and Wales Cricket ranks as they have to pull players out of ongoing County Championship fixtures and get them tested before shifting them in a biosecure bubble. "It will cause chaos. They will have to pick a completely different squad- that 16 players and the backroom staff and coaches ruled out. They will have to pull the bulk of those players out of county cricket. There's a round of County Championship games going on now and all those counties will have to replace those players and get them tested. The players pulled out will have to get to Cardiff and get tested to enter the bubble. So it will be absolute chaos at ECB towers right now," Hussain told Sky Sports. However, Hussain defended the move to relax the biosecure provisions keeping in mind the mental well being of the players who have been dealing with one bubble to another for the last year. "They had to ease that bubble slightly, the cricketers have been going around the world in bubbles and just for the sake of their mental health - when they turn up to the ground and see normal society out there, doing things and being relaxed slightly. That's what they had to do with their players," Hussain said. As many as seven members of the England squad that played and took part in the series against Sri Lanka tested positive for the novel Coronavirus infection. This included three players and four support staff while others have been deemed ‘close contacts’ and been forced into isolation. England selected a completely revamped ODI squad for the upcoming series against Pakistan with Ben Stokes coming back from injury to lead the side that has as many as nine uncapped players.
