Umar Akmal asks Babar Azam to get him permission to play first-class

Umar Akmal

Pakistan’s middle-order batsman Umar Akmal has openly spoken about the ‘injustice’ done to him and leveled serious allegations against the coach of Central Punjab.

He was talking to ARY News’s sports program Bouncer.

At the beginning of the conversation, the host of the program asked whether Asif Ali and Khushdil Shah got more chances or if you (Umar Akmal)?

Akmal said that difficult times come to every player. “I got out for zero in two consecutive matches in the series against Sri Lanka, if I had scored in those matches, there would have been no explanation.”

The middle-order player said as far as he remembers, he made a comeback in the team three times and all three times but doesn’t know why he was dropped.

He complained that after being out of the team, he is not even allowed to play first-class cricket.

The program’s host asked that Babar Azam is your cousin and also the captain of the national team, did you take your complaint to him?

“I did not talk to Babar Azam about my selection and neither did contact him in this matter,” Umar Akmal replied.

The host asked that Asif Ali, Khushdil Shah, Iftikhar Ahmed and Fakhar Zaman also have no special performance, but Babar Azam still defends them, but why does he not come in support of Umar Akmal?

On Umar Akmal said that I request Babar Azam that if I am included in his plan, he should talk to the selector and the coach of Central Punjab and allow him to play first class.

Addressing Umar Akmal, the host said that he had a problem with former coach Mickey Arthur, his relationship with Waqar Younis was cold and now he has a complaint with Abdul Razzaq as he is the coach of Central Punjab.

Umar Akmal said that when you are not respected in the team and sidelined for no reason, how long one can remain silent?

Pakistan floods: South Asia’s monsoon explained

Floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1,000 people after what its climate change minister called a record unbroken cycle of monsoon rains with “8 weeks of non-stop torrents”. AFP explains what the monsoon is, why it is so important and yet so dangerous, and how climate change and other man-made effects may be altering the vast life-giving but destructive annual weather system. What is the South Asian monsoon? The Southwest or the Asian Summer Monsoon is essentially a colossal sea breeze that brings South Asia 70-80 percent of its annual rainfall between June and September every year. It occurs when summer heat warms the landmass of the subcontinent, causing the air to rise and sucking in cooler Indian Ocean winds which then produce enormous volumes of rain. Why it is important? The monsoon is vital for agriculture and therefore for the livelihoods of millions of farmers and for food security in the poor region of around two billion people. But it brings destruction every ye...

Without mentioning the name, Faisla Vawda said the governor in question has been selling his name, making money, and telling lies, now his turn has come, and he has to go home soon”. Vawda predicted that the governor’s removal would occur within the next week or two months but he will surely be removed from his post. He also took the opportunity to criticize the PPP-led Sindh government, stating that none of its cabinet members, aside from Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, are capable of writing a paragraph in English.

CDA removes golden hands sculpture in Islamabad after online backlash

ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Monday removed a recently installed ‘Golden Hands’ sculpture located along Margalla Avenue in Islamabad. The artwork featured two large golden hands holding two balls like objects resembling a world map. Installed by a private developer, the sculpture quickly gained widespread attention on social media, sparking debate, memes, and a wave of speculation over its symbolism.
