LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has responded to swirling rumours suggesting that Gilgit and Faisalabad have been finalised as the two new teams for the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 11.

Social media was abuzz on Wednesday with claims citing unnamed sources that the two cities had been officially selected.

However, the PCB strongly refuted these reports through a statement issued on Thursday. They clarified that the final decision on team names rests with the successful bidders.

“The PCB refutes news circulating in the media regarding the finalisation of the two city names for the new HBL PSL franchises,” the board said.

“The PCB would like to clarify that, as per the process, the successful bidders will have the right to choose a team name.”

Earlier this month, the PCB had shortlisted six cities for consideration: Hyderabad, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad, Faisalabad, Gilgit, and Rawalpindi.

The cricket board reiterated that successful bidders will have the option to select their team from these six cities.

“The PCB is pleased to note and welcomes the growing interest in the acquisition of team franchise rights for two new teams for future editions of the HBL PSL,” the statement added.

The public advertisement inviting bids for the new franchises was published on November 15, 2025. The deadline for submitting technical proposals is December 15, 2025, at 11:00 a.m.

The PCB also stressed that information from any other source should not be considered official.

DUBAI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday unveiled the full schedule for the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2026, confirming that arch-rivals Pakistan and India will not meet in the group stage.

The absence of the marquee fixture stands out, especially given how often the two sides are deliberately placed together in ICC youth and senior events to tap into the rivalry’s unmatched global pull.

Set to run from 15 January to 6 February 2026 in Namibia and Zimbabwe, the 16th edition of the U19 World Cup will continue with its familiar format: 16 teams, four groups, 41 matches, and a Super Six stage leading into semi-finals and a final.

The sides will begin arriving on 8 January for warm-ups scheduled from 9–14 January.

The opening day features India vs USA, co-hosts Zimbabwe vs Scotland, and newcomers Tanzania vs West Indies. Tanzania will be making their debut, while Japan return after last featuring in 2020.

Pakistan begin their campaign on 16 January against England in Harare, followed by fixtures against Scotland (19 Jan) and Zimbabwe (22 Jan).

Matches will be split across five venues: Harare Sports Club, Takashinga Sports Club, Queens Sports Club, Namibia Cricket Ground, and HP Oval.

ICC Chairman Jay Shah hailed the tournament’s legacy of shaping future stars, noting its role in introducing talents ranging from Brian Lara and Sanath Jayasuriya to Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Steve Smith, and Shubman Gill.

“The ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup has long been the cradle of greatness, a tournament that reveals not just the next generation of cricketers, but the next generation of icons,” said Jay Shah.

“From Brian Lara and Sanath Jayasuriya to Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Steve Smith and Shubman Gill, the event has consistently shaped the future of our sport.

“As we look ahead to the 2026 edition in Zimbabwe and Namibia, we are excited to provide young cricketers with a world-class platform that mirrors the standards and pressures of senior international cricket.

“This tournament is where dreams are ignited, rivalries are born, and the global cricketing landscape begins to take its next form.

“We are especially pleased to welcome Tanzania as they make their debut and join a truly global field of teams.

“I extend my warmest wishes to all participating squads as they embark on this remarkable journey, representing their countries with pride and promise.”

Group A comprises the most successful side in the tournament’s history, India (five titles), the 2020 winners, Bangladesh, the USA, and New Zealand; meanwhile, Group B has co-hosts Zimbabwe, Pakistan, England, and Scotland.

Moreover, Group C comprises the defending champions Australia, Ireland, Japan, and Sri Lanka, while Group D has Tanzania, the West Indies, Afghanistan, and South Africa.

RAWALPINDI: Fakhar Zaman and Usman Khan’s calculated knocks led Pakistan to a win against Zimbabwe in the opening match of the T20I tri-series here at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Chasing a stiff 148, Pakistan hit the winning runs on the loss of five wickets with four balls to spare.

Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub started well in pursuit of the chase, adding 27 in 4.1 overs. The stand broke with Farhan’s wicket, who made 16 from 15 balls.

The hosts were pegged back with two more wickets in quick succession, which reduced them to 30-3 in 5.4 overs. Babar Azam was trapped lbw for a duck, while Salman Agha could only manage to score one.

With wickets tumbling, Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman tried to arrest the slide and stitched a brief 24-run partnership. The stand brought the total to 50-run runs at the end of nine overs.

However, Zimbabwe mounted further pressure through Saim’s wicket, who scored 22 from 26, striking four fours and a six.

Yet Pakistan thrived, courtesy of Fakhar Zaman’s and Usman Khan’s match-winning partnership of 61 runs. The duo batted responsibility and helped the home side cross the 100-run mark at the end of the 15th over.

Fakhar’s 32-ball 44 included two sixes and two fours. With Green Shirts requiring 33 from 24 balls, Mohammad Nawaz walked in and forged a 36-run partnership that helped his side cross the finishing line.

Nawaz hit two fours and a six in his 21 from only 12 balls, while Usman Khan’s gutsy 37 from 28 featured three fours.

For Zimbabwe, Brad Evans remained the standout bowler and picked up two wickets.

Earlier, Pakistan spinners bowled economical spells to restrict Zimbabwe from scoring a formidable total.

Put into bat first, Zimbabwe managed to score 147-8 at the end of their 20 overs despite a solid start.

Brian Bennett and Tadiwanashe Marumani put on a 72-run partnership in just eight overs. Both players batted briskly in the power play, amassing 13 from skipper Shaheen Afridi’s opening over.

The duo took on fast bowlers and took advantage of the fielding restrictions, scoring 11 and 17 from Saim Ayub’s fifth and Abrar Ahmed’s sixth over.

As a result, the visitors were 59 at the end of the power play.

However, it was Mohammad Nawaz who not only halted the scoring but also broke the partnership with Marumani’s wicket. He hit three fours and a six in his 30 from 22 balls.

Brendan Taylor was the second wicket to fall, courtesy of a run that sparked a collapse and halted Zimbabwe’s progress. Taylor departed after scoring run a ball 14. Consequently, they were reduced to 91-2 in 11 overs.

After 10 overs, the Green Shirts put on brakes on the visitors’ scoring rate and never allowed them to recover. Brian Bennett remained the top scorer with 49 from 36, laced with eight fours.

For Pakistan, Mohammad Nawaz picked up two wickets, whereas Abrar Ahmed and Saim Ayub scalped one apiece.

LAHORE: Former captain Azhar Ali has resigned from his positions within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), stepping down both as a member of the national men’s selection committee and as the Head of Youth Development, sources confirmed on Tuesday.

He had joined the national selection committee in October 2024 alongside former ICC elite umpire Aleem Dar and ex-Test pacer Aqib Javed. The trio joined Asad Shafiq, who was already serving on the panel.

Their arrival came at a turbulent time for Pakistani cricket, following the innings defeat in the Multan Test against England.

The revamped panel quickly made headlines when it opted for bold changes, dropping star batter Babar Azam and premier pacers Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah from the remaining two Tests of the series.

The move sparked widespread debate but ultimately proved decisive as Pakistan bounced back to seal an impressive 2-1 series win.

A month later, in November 2024, the PCB appointed Azhar as the Head of Youth Development following a formal recruitment process.

The role placed him at the heart of Pakistan cricket’s future planning: overseeing grassroots structures, designing long-term development pathways and shaping talent progression from junior to elite levels.

Azhar’s exit from both roles comes as a surprise, given the board’s emphasis on strengthening its development framework. The PCB has not yet issued an official statement regarding his resignation or the reasons behind it.

A respected figure in Pakistan cricket, Azhar Ali enjoyed a distinguished international career from 2010 to 2022, earning 97 Test and 53 ODI caps.

He captained Pakistan in nine Tests and 31 ODIs and played a central role in the country’s historic ICC Champions Trophy triumph in 2017.

Statistically, Azhar stands among Pakistan’s modern greats. With 7,097 runs in 96 Test matches at an average of 42.49, he is the nation’s fifth-highest Test run-scorer.

He is standing only behind Younis Khan, Javed Miandad, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Yousuf. His career included 19 centuries and 34 half-centuries, beginning with a maiden Test fifty just two matches after debuting at Lord’s in 2010.

The ongoing ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 tournament is likely to witness the trophy controversy that marred the final of the senior men’s tournament in September, according to sources.

The Rising Stars tournament, formerly known as the Emerging Asia Cup, is underway at the West End International Cricket Stadium in Doha, featuring eight teams.

The teams are split into two groups, with Group A featuring Pakistan Shaheens, India A, the UAE, and Oman, while Sri Lanka A, Bangladesh A, Afghanistan A, and Hong Kong are placed in Group B.

The final is set for November 23, with ACC President and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi expected to attend as the chief guest.

Given the strength of the squads and their early performances, a Pakistan Shaheens vs India A final remains a realistic and intriguing possibility.

But with that comes the baggage of what unfolded in September, when India refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy directly from Naqvi and did not attend the closing ceremony.

The trophy still sits with the ACC, awaiting an official handover should India agree to receive it at a separate event.

Notably, India’s refusal to engage in handshakes with Pakistani teams, a pattern that began during the senior Asia Cup, has now become a recurring feature across formats.

The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 saw the same behaviour, and the latest chapter came on Sunday in Doha, when India A captain Jitesh Sharma and Pakistan Shaheens skipper Irfan Niazi skipped the customary handshake at the toss.

On the field, however, Pakistan Shaheens delivered a statement performance, defeating India A by eight wickets to top Group B and secure a place in the semifinals.

RAWALPINDI: Mohammad Wasim Junior’s three-wicket haul and Mohammad Rizwan’s half-century powered Pakistan to a clean sweep against Sri Lanka here at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Pakistan chased down a partly 212-run target in 44.4 overs with eight wickets in hand.

With this victory, Pakistan clinched the three-match series 3-0.

The home side were jolted early in the chase in the shape of Haseebullah Khan’s wicket, who was only playing in his second ODI, departed for a duck after playing 12 balls.

After an early blow, Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam forged a 74-run partnership that made light work of the chase. The scorecard read 82 in 15.2 overs when Maheesh Theekshana removed Zaman.

The soutpaw made 55 from just 45 deliveries peppered with eight fours. After his wicket, the visitors kept it tight, which resulted in Babar’s dismissal, bowled by Jeffrey Vandersay.

The right-hander struck four boundaries on his way to 34 from 52 balls. It was the cherry on top for Sri Lanka as in-form Salman Ali Agha (6) was also sent back in quick succession.

As a result, the Green Shirts were reduced to 115-4 in 24.3 overs before an unbeaten century stand between Mohammad Rizwan and Hussain Talat took them home.

Rizwan top-scored with 61* from 92 balls, while Hussain Talat hit a single boundary in his 57-ball 42.

For Sri Lanka, Jeffrey Vandersay remained the long bright star, who picked up a three-wicket haul in his quota of 10 overs.

Earlier, Pakistan pacer Mohammad Wasim picked up three wickets to rattle Sri Lanka’s batting line-up for a below-par score.

Put into bat first, the Islanders could not get going and were eventually bowled out for 211 in 45.2 overs.

Pathum Nissanka and Kamil Mishara provided a rapid start, adding 55 for the opening wicket in only 8.1 overs.

Haris Rauf broke the opening partnership with the wicket of Pathum Nissanka, who once again got a start but could not convert it. The right-hander hit four boundaries in his 24 from 27 before getting cleaned up.

Mishara followed him as he was caught behind on Wasim’s bowling, after making 29 from 30 with the help of five fours.

After openers were sent back, the stand-in skipper, Kusal Mendis, and Sadeera Samarawickrama tried to stabilize the innings with a 43-run partnership.

However, it was Wasim again who broke the promising stand and derailed the Islanders’ innings. Mendis was bowled with a beauty after scoring 34 from 54 balls.

The wicket sparked a collapse with the visitors losing wickets at regular intervals and were eventually bowled out. Sadeera Samarawickrama remained the top-scorer with 48 from 65 deliveries. The right-handed batter managed to hit two boundaries in his knock.

For Pakistan, it was an all-round bowling effort as Mohammad Wasim led the wicket charts with three wickets. Faisal Akram and Haris Rauf chipped in with two wickets apiece while Shaheen Shah Afridi and Faheem Ashraf took one each.

LAHORE: Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has been handed a key role in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), sources said on Sunday.

According to sources, the wicket-keeper has been assigned to oversee matters regarding the Pakistan Shaheens and the Pakistan Under-19 teams.

The role will involve looking after squads, including coordination with coaches, squad management, and arrangements for domestic and international tours. Additionally, Sarfaraz could also travel with the teams on their tours.

It is pertinent to note that this will be the second time the 38-year-old has been assigned a role in the PCB. Previously, he had served as the mentor of the Dolphins team in the Champions Cup, which was held last year.

Earlier, Sarfaraz Ahmed, as Team Director of Quetta Gladiators in the PSL 10, opened up on the challenges of transitioning to the coaching role.

The wicket-keeping batter led the side for eight years and in a record 80 matches since the inception of the PSL in 2016, and played as a player in the previous edition of the league.

In an interview with PCB Digital, Sarfaraz Ahmed said: “It is an exciting role for me, and I am trying to learn as I have previously worked as a mentor in the two Champions Cup events for team Dolphins”.

Sarfaraz Ahmed added, “It’s not easy for a player to transition into a coaching role, especially after being involved as a player on the field, but over time you need to evolve your skillset and adapt to new responsibilities. I have been with Quetta since the start of the HBL PSL.”

Recalling Quetta Gladiators’ triumph in the 2019 edition, the former Pakistan captain called it a memorable moment after reaching finals and playoffs for three years.

For the unversed, Sarfaraz is a vastly experienced player, having represented Pakistan in 54 Tests, 117 ODIs, and 61 T20Is.

He also brought several accolades to Pakistan, as he led the national team to victories in the ICC U19 World Cup 2006 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2017.
