Sohail Tanvir came to America to play after becoming a selector
Pakistan Cricket Board’s decision to allow junior team chief selector Sohail Tanvir to play in the ongoing T20 league in America is being criticized a lot, due to which questions of conflict of interest are also being raised. Tanvir moved to play in the American Premier League (APL) soon after Pakistan’s youth squad was announced for the ICC Under-19 World Cup squad. A PCB official said that Tanveer was allowed to play in the league only when he was appointed as a junior selector.
There may be changes in Pakistani team
The third Test match between Pakistan and Australia will be played in Sydney from January 3. There may be many changes in the Pakistani team for the last test match. 21 year old uncapped opener Saim Ayub may get a chance in the team. Experienced opener Imam Ul Haq is being criticized for his slow batting due to which the team management has finally decided to give Ayub a chance. This young left-handed batsman has played eight T20 matches this year whereas he has played only 14 first-class matches. The first two Tests of the series finished four days apart, so the team management is ready to take a risk with Ayub.
So many spectators came to watch the match
The Australian team defeated Pakistan by 79 runs in the second test match. In this match, the bowlers and batsmen performed strongly for Australia. A large number of fans had reached the ground to watch this exciting match.

Big statement from the head coach after the defeat
The Indian women’s team had to face defeat by three runs in the second ODI match against Australia. After the match, Indian women’s team head coach Amol Majumdar admitted that the fielding in the second ODI against Australia was very poor and work is going on to improve this department. There is no doubt that our fielding was not good. We dropped about six catches. This happens all the time in sports.
Gavaskar gave this advice
Shubman Gill could not perform well in the first test match against South Africa. He had played innings of two and 26 runs in the first match. Sunil Gavaskar said that I think he is playing too aggressively in Test cricket. When you play Test cricket, there is a slight difference compared to T20 International and ODI. He said that the red ball rotates more in the air and outside the pitch than the white ball. It bounces a little more. He should keep this in mind.
