    Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan during a discussion with top scholars on how the youth can be protected from the invasion of social media on faith, religious and ethical values said that corruption and sex crime s are two main evils of the Muslim world.

    Pakistan cricket team’s young pacer Mohammad Hasnain made a great start to his Big Bash League (BBL) career, for Sydney Thunder, with a triple wicket maiden in his very first over.

    In the same year, Hasnain stole the limelight in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) by bowling the fastest deliveries recorded in each competition. He bowled at 151 km/h for the Quetta Gladiators, and 155.1 km/h for Trinbago Knight Riders.
