    Start boycotting products that feature these cricketers: Mansoor Ali Khan

    After the defeat against India in T20 World Cup, journalist Mansoor Ali Khan demanded the public to boycott products promoted by Pakistani cricketers. India defeated Pakistan by six runs in the biggest match of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup on Sunday.

    The journalist said on his YouTube channel, “The public wants to know which Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials have gone on this trip and how much they are spending. It has become too extravagant, it cannot go on like this, sometimes you are selling pants, sometimes you are selling shoes, sometimes you are selling ice cream, sometimes you are selling hair colour.”

    He expressed his displeasure saying, “You get money because you advertise because this nation sits you on shoulders. The nation loves you because it loves the game, and when you play the game like that, it means you don’t love the game and you don’t love the nation. Then you have no right to work in such commercials, and if our team’s performance is going to be like this, I will ask the nation to start boycotting the products”

    After the embarrassing defeat against India, Pakistan fans are very disappointed and are calling for a complete revamp of the cricket team, not just the coaches.

    Can Pakistan still qualify for Super-8 stage of T20 World Cup?

    Despite the setbacks of two embarrassing defeats against the USA and India in the first round of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan still has a fighting chance to make it to the super-eight stage.

    Here are some possible scenarios:

    Scenario 1: Pakistan have to win thier remaining two matches against Ireland and Canada, giving it 4 points.

    Scenario 2: The USA has already won two matches, so it should lose to India and Ireland as it already has 4 points.

    Scenario 3: Canada should lose to India and they will have 2 points.

    If this scenario works out, Pakistan and USA will each have 4 points, and their qualification for the Super-8 stage will be decided on Net Run Rate (NRR).

    On the YouTube channel ‘Harna Mana Hai’ there was a debate between national team opener Ahmed Shahzad and Imam ul Haq over Babar Azam’s captaincy, in which Imam was seen defending Babar while Ahmad Shahzad took exceptions with his decisions.

    Shehzad alleged that Babar Azam included his friends in the team who were not performing to which Imad replied, “I am counted among Babar’s friends, but I am out of the T20 team.”

    Talking about Babar’s captaincy, Imam said, “The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) made him captain again. He did not ask the board to give me leadership duties. The authority to give and take captaincy is with the board.”

    Program host Tabish Hashmi asked, “Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir are not friends with Babar Azam, everyone knows, but they are back in the playing XI today.” To which Shahzad replied, “They are playing because both have connections with the board’s top officials. They invited Imad and Amir back to the team.”
