    Inzamam-ul-Haq accuses India of ball-tampering against Australia

    Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has accused India of ball-tampering during the Super Eight match against Australia.

    During a talk show on Samaa News on Monday, Inzamam said, “Arshdeep Singh was getting reverse swing in the 15th over. It doesn’t make sense to me because he doesn’t have the pace and bowling action that Bumrah has. I think the ball was being tampered with before the 15th over.”

    Sitting with Inzamam on the talk show, former Test cricketer Salim Malik agreed with the allegations. “Such allegations if proven, could tarnish the integrity of the game. This is a serious matter that needs a thorough investigation. The ICC should not allow these things to slip under its radar,” he remarked.

    Inzamam urged the ICC to open its eyes and investigate the alleged misconduct. He expressed dismay at the lack of vigilance on the part of cricket’s governing body, stressing the need for strict scrutiny and fairness in the game.

    India defeated Australia by 24 runs in the match.

  • Which anchor is a good cricketer? Inzamam ul Haq spills the beans

    Which anchor is a good cricketer? Inzamam ul Haq spills the beans

    Pakistan media anchors, like the rest of the country, are very fond of playing cricket. We know that many of them play cricket quite regularly, including Kashif Abbasi and Talat Hussain. But has one of the legends of the game ever praised an anchor’s cricketing skills? Well, that has happened now.

    During a live show on Geo News on Friday, former Pakistani batsman Inzamam ul Haq revealed which anchor is also a very good cricketer.

    While discussing Zaka Ashraf’s resignation as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman on Friday, Inzamam ul Haq joined a live call on Geo News with anchor Shehzad Iqbal. During the conversation, Inzamam ul Haq said, “Look Shehzad, I am telling you a little thing, you also play very good cricket and you are a very good batsman I don’t think most people know.”

    Coming back to the topic, Inzamam said, “Zaka Ashraf’s tenure as PCB chairman was not good for Pakistan cricket. He was elected to organize PCB elections but he did not and resigned without organizing elections. He did some good things too in his duration, but the duty for which he was elected, he didn’t do.”

    Ashraf resigned on Friday as PCB chairman, leading to Shah Khawar being appointed as acting chairman of PCB on Tuesday.

    Chief selector Inzamam resigns from post

    Inzamam-ul-Haq, the chief selector of the national cricket team, has resigned from his post on Monday after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was relentlessly criticised following a string of defeats at the World Cup.

    In his statement, Inzamam-ul-Haq said, “People talk without research. If questions are raised on me, I thought it better to resign and to be on the side.”

    Stating that PCB is available for inquiry, the former batting great said that he has asked PCB to investigate accusations against him.

    “I have no connection with the player’s agent company, I am saddened by such allegations.” He further said, “After everything is cleared, I will sit with the PCB. I felt that if there is an inquiry against me, I should resign from the post, we should wait for the results of the inquiry.”

    The former Chief Selector asked for a transparent investigation and an independent inquiry from PCB. “I am telling you very clearly that I have never had anything to do with the company in my life, I have neither the first signature nor the later signature, whoever is saying this is wrong.”

  • Angry Inzamam schools Babar after Karachi Kings’ fourth consecutive defeat

    Angry Inzamam schools Babar after Karachi Kings’ fourth consecutive defeat

    Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Inzamam-ul-Haq has schooled Karachi Kings captain Babar Azam for not finishing the match on Friday despite playing complete 20 overs against Peshawar Zalmi at National Stadium Karachi.

    Kings’ poor performance continued to frustrate the fans in the seventh edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) as the Babar-led side has lost all their matches in the tournament.

    Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Jashn-e-Cricket’, former chief selector Inzamam criticised Babar for not being able to finish the match with a win.

    “If you are the world’s number one cricket player and stands on wicket throughout 20 overs, then you should be finishing the match, otherwise get out without playing complete overs,” said Inzamam after the Kings failed to achieve the target of 174.

    Azam’s 63-ball 90 included 12 fours and a six.

    The former captain was also not pleased with the home team’s selection and batting order in the PSL 2022.

    Inzamam-ul-Haq also criticised Australian authorities for declaring Mohammad Husnain’s bowling action illegal.

    “Hasnain has been playing cricket for 2-3 years and his bowling action did not seem to be illegal,” he said.

    “Why do 90% of players get banned after going to Australia?” he questioned.

    Inzamam said that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) should have sorted out Hasnain’s bowling action issue before the start of PSL.

    Meanwhile, PCB has said in a statement that the board will work on the young pacer’s bowling action and get it cleared as soon as possible.
