PCB Junior League Discontinues as New Chairman Takes Charge

PCB Management Committee is being led by Najam Sethi now as Ramiz Raja has stepped down. Along with the major structural change in domestic cricket, he has also made the decision to start the Pakistan Women’s League. Not only this, he has announced to end of the Pakistan Junior League as well.

The decisions were taken in the 2^nd meeting of the PCB Management Committee which was held on 7 Jan 2022 at the National High Performance Centre. The Pakistan Women’s League has been renamed “The Women’s League.” It has been launched by the PCB as part of its strategy to continue investing in women’s cricket and to excel in it.

The former Chairman of PCB had taken the initiative of the Women’s League. When he was in charge of the PCB, it was decided that the women’s league would be played alongside the Pakistan Super League 8^th edition in March 2023.

In the press release of October last year, it was stated that four city-based teams will compete for the biggest prize in Pakistan’s women’s domestic calendar. It will be a double-league format and comprising 12 local and 6 foreign players. After 12 matches, the top two teams will compete in the final. It will be played a day before the PSL 8 final.

Now the suspension of the Pakistan Junior League’s suspension has been approved by the new PCB Management Committee. However, it was agreed to revive in the country and foreign series to ensure that the country continues to produce talented cricketers. It will be beneficial for all ages and with this, the talented lot has access to a pathway of the main Pakistan National team.

To strengthen this emerging talent support concept, it was also agreed to include a player under the age of 19 in their Emerging Categories. For this, they will talk to the franchises of the HBL Pakistan Super League about this and make a way out.

In addition to this, the Management Committee held a healthy discussion regarding restructuring domestic cricket. Regarding the re-establishment of the Departmental, Regional and District Cricket Associations, they might be revived as per the PCB Constitution 2014.

A plan will now be prepared to officially include Regional and District Cricket Associations and Departments in the domestic cricket structure. It will include participation in the PCB Board of Governors.

The Committee confirmed that all contracts of players, which are in effect until August 2023, will be honored and fulfilled. Additionally, it agreed that the compositions of the twelve Committees and will be announced soon.

The twelve committees include the Domestic Restructuring Committee, Domestic Restoration Committee, Department Cricket Restoration Committee, NHPC Remodeling Committee, Restructuring of Women’s Cricket Committee, Cricket Infrastructure Committee, Audit Committee, Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee, Human Resource Committee, Legal Affairs Committee, National Selection Committees and Benevolent Fund Committee.

Melbourne Cricket Club wants to host a Ind vs Pak Match

 

After successfully organizing the dramatic T20 World Cup 2022, Melbourne Cricket Club is looking towards two arch-rivals of cricket. It is interested in organizing a test match between the two teams. Melbourne Cricket Ground is known all over the world for its beautiful ground and balanced pitch for both bowlers and batsmen.

The Victorian government and the Melbourne Cricket Ground has recently inquired about the possibility of hosting the high-profile Test match between Pakistan and India.

Melbourne Cricket Club CEO Stuart Fox has stated that he intends to host the Test match. He also stated that organizing the T20 World Cup match in October between these two teams was a huge success for the management of the ground. It was attended by over 90,000 spectators.

He told that he has also discussed this with Cricket Australia and the government as well. But yes, I know that it is extremely complicated in the midst of a very busy schedule. Therefore, I believe that to be the most difficult obstacle along with the consent of the two governments as well.

I hope CA will continue to raise the issue with the ICC and also will advocate for it. He was hopeful that it would be a full house match. The crowd will be celebrating the match and atmosphere with more joy as you see some of the stadiums around the world unoccupied. He was hopeful that Cricket Australia will take the suggestion to ICC and to the two teams for the said match.

India and Pakistan last played a match in 2007. After that, the two teams stopped playing bilateral series and confronted each other in one or the other ICC or Asian Cricket Council competitions.

Fox anticipates a full house in the Boxing Day Test between Pakistan and Australia at the MCG in 2023. It is a part of a three-match series in the upcoming World Test Championship cycle. Similar to the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match, the teams are expected to play with zero vacant seats.

Fox stated that the India-Pakistan game was more than a match and has never seen anything like it at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The atmosphere is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The families, children and everyone else was having a great time. The noise after each ball was incredible and the response to that was even more befitting.

It was also stated by him that the Pakistani community needs to be tapped into next year if we can be more inclusive and ensure that we cater to all cultures. We want them here and having a full house from the start would be fantastic.

From December 26 to January 14, Pakistan will host New Zealand for two Test matches and three One-Day Internationals, with the majority of the games taking place in Karachi. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced an itinerary on Tuesday, indicating that the Test series will begin in Karachi on December 26 and move to Multan on January 3 for the second match. The ODIs are set for January 10, 12, and 14 at Karachi’s National Stadium.

Last year, New Zealand was scheduled to play an ODI and T20I series, but they were ordered by their authorities to return from Rawalpindi without playing any games because of an unidentified security danger to them.

Pakistan has previously hosted Australia this year, and after hosting England for a seven-match T20I series in October, they are currently hosting England for a Test series.

Due to security concerns of foreign teams following the militant attack on the Sri Lankan squad in Lahore in March 2009, Pakistan did not host any Test matches or international series between 2009 and 2019.

With both Boards’ approval, the series versus New Zealand has been moved up by one day.

In 2003, New Zealand last competed in a Test match in Pakistan.
