  • Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan Women’s Cricket Team Not Paid 4 Months Salary | cricket news

    As the excitement builds for the Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE, starting on October 3, a cloud of uncertainty looms over the Pakistan women’s cricket team. With the tournament’s opener against Sri Lanka just hours away, the players find themselves in a frustrating situation: they have not received their salaries for the last four months. This delay not only impacts their morale but also highlights ongoing issues within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as it struggles to manage its finances and maintain a stable environment for its athletes.

    A Disheartening Start to the World Cup Campaign

    For the Pakistani players, the stakes are high as they prepare to compete on an international stage. However, the excitement of the World Cup is marred by the financial struggles that plague the team. Currently under a 23-month contract that began on August 1, 2023, the players were promised salaries that have gone unpaid since June 2024. The PCB has stated that the contracts will be assessed after 12 months, but with no clear communication or resolution, the players are left in limbo. “It is a work in progress,” a PCB official told Cricbuzz, indicating that administrative bottlenecks have hindered timely payments.

    The financial insecurity is not just confined to the women’s team. Reports suggest that the men’s squad, featuring stars like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Mohammad Rizwan, also faces similar salary delays. This dual issue raises concerns about PCB’s financial management, especially as the cricketing world watches closely during this pivotal tournament.

    Pay Disparities: A Persistent Challenge

    Despite being one of the wealthiest cricket boards globally, the PCB’s treatment of its women cricketers stands in stark contrast to that of their male counterparts. While other nations, including India and England, have established pay parity between their men’s and women’s teams, Pakistani women cricketers remain among the lowest-paid athletes within Full Member Nations. Comparatively, players from Sri Lanka earn approximately USD 750 per match, while Bangladesh players receive around USD 427 per T20I. In contrast, the compensation for Pakistani women is significantly lower.

    The PCB has announced plans to increase spending on women’s cricket by USD 600,000 this season, but the lack of concrete details leaves many skeptical. As it stands, the gender pay gap within the PCB reflects broader issues of investment and support for women’s sports in Pakistan.

    Leadership Challenges Amidst Financial Woes

    The current financial struggles come at a time of turmoil for the PCB, particularly concerning leadership and player management. With Babar Azam resigning from his captaincy role for the second time in ten months, questions arise about the stability of leadership within the team. The PCB has yet to decide on a replacement, and speculation around Rizwan stepping into the role adds to the uncertainty.

    Player frustrations are mounting as delays continue, with many feeling that their pleas for timely compensation have fallen on deaf ears. Reports indicate that players have reached out to PCB numerous times regarding their unpaid salaries, but the response has been inadequate. “Last year, prior to the World Cup, players pressured the board to secure a favorable contract, but the current situation has changed dramatically,” a source revealed.

  • Tirupati Prasadam Row: Supreme Court Orders Independent SIT Probe Under CBI Supervision |

    Amid the escalating row over the Tirupati Prasadam row, the Supreme Court on Friday ordered an independent SIT probe under the supervision of the CBI Director into the controversy. There are allegations that animal fat was used for preparing Tirupati laddus. The allegations first came from the ruling Telugu Desham Party (TDP). The Bench, which also includes Justice KV Viswanathan, emphasized that it has not delved into the allegations or counter-allegations, stating that it will not permit the Supreme Court to become a political battleground.

    A Bench headed by Justice BR Gavai said that the new SIT should comprise two Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officers, two officers from Andhra Pradesh Police and a senior official of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

    The Supreme Court emphasized that its order should not be interpreted as casting doubt on the independence or fairness of the members of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) established by the Andhra Pradesh Police. “We do not want this to turn into a political drama because the sentiments of crores of people across the world are involved. Therefore, if there is an independent body, everybody will have confidence,” it said.

    Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh Police have temporarily stalled the SIT probe ordered by the state government into the alleged adulteration of Tirupati laddus after the matter came under the top court’s scanner.

    During the initial hearing on Monday, the Supreme Court noted that there was, at first glance, no evidence to suggest that animal fat had been used in the preparation of Tirupati laddus during the previous YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh.

    It said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu should have ‘kept the gods away from politics’ before rushing in to make public statements based on unsure facts that lard was used to prepare the laddus under the previous regime.

  • Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu To Visit India From October 7 | world news

    Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu is expected to visit India starting on October 7 as per sources.

    This will mark Muizzu’s first standalone bilateral visit to the country since assuming office last year.

    Recently, on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, Muizzu told ANI, that he is planning to visit India as soon as possible. He also praised the “very strong” bilateral relationship between the two countries.”

    “I am planning to visit (India) as soon as possible…We have a very strong bilateral relationship,” Muizzu told ANI.

    This will notably be the second time that Muizzu is visiting India this year after attending the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this June.

    It is pertinent to note that earlier almost every Maldivian President used to make his first foreign visit to India, but Muizzu changed the trend by first visiting Turkiye and then China, after assuming office.

    The Mohamed Muizzu government in the Maldives took a conciliatory tone after ties with India soured, leading to a diplomatic row.

    Since coming to power, Muizzu has taken several steps that have been unconventional from the point of view of India-Maldives ties. He ran his entire presidential campaign on the lines of ‘India Out’. The removal of Indian troops from the country was the main election campaign of Muizzu’s party.

  • Kohli took 10 years, Surya did this work in just 3, now SKY is going to create history.

    IND vs BAN T20: Virat Kohli has a special record on the target of Team India’s T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav. The milestone which took Kohli 10 years to achieve, was achieved by Surya in 3 years. Now he is on the verge of overtaking Kohli.

    IND vs BAN T20: Virat Kohli is a legend in all three formats. The record book is full of his name. However, in T20, Team India’s Mr. 360 Degree i.e. Suryakumar Yadav is seen ahead of them in many matters. Surya achieved success in this format in a very short time and today he is called the King of T20. Now Surya has a golden opportunity to break a great record of Virat. Surya can create history in the first T20 against Bangladesh on 6 October.

    What is this great record?
