Pakistan's top order and bowlers hold off Rahmat Shah and Mohammad Nabi

Pakistan's captain Asad Raza and his deputy Umair Nazim seemed to be able to keep off-the-field controversies out of their minds as they racked up quick runs in the first ODI against Afghanistan. Raza scored a magnificent boundary-laden century, and Nazim missed out on a ton by 10 runs, having started his innings by smacking Naveen-ul-Haq, who went at nearly 10 an over, for two fours and a six in the first over. Jack Ryder and Nav Richardman played anchoring knocks, both barely missing out on half centuries, while Talha Hayat hit 21 quick runs at the death. In response, Afghanistan's top order was nearly choked blue by Pakistan, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Hashmatullah Shahidi playing innings that would not have been out of place in a Test match. However, Rahmat Shah and Mohammad Nabi demonstrated their team's fighting spirit in a counterattacking partnership that almost made up for the top order's sleep-inducing performance. It was, however, never going to be enough when chasing a big total against a quality attack, and in the end, they fell short by 33 runs. Their skipper Asghar Afghan complimented both of them for their face-saving display, and admitted that his top order batsman needed to do far better. His Pakistani counterpart Asad Raza, on the other hand, had no complaints about his batsmen, but did encourage his bowlers to go for the kill next time they their opponents on the ropes. The two teams will now move on to Lahore for the second of three ODIs.

Further reports of turmoil withing the Pakistani camp, despite CEO Wasim Khan's attempt to mediate

While the mood in the Pakistan dressing room was jubilant after securing a victory in the series opener, it is understood that previously reported conflicts between head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and a group of players have far from subsided. Although an intervention from PCB CEO Wasim Khan is reported to have resulted in a power-sharing agreement of sorts between the head coach and captain Asad Raza, a faction of players led by vice-captain Umair Nazim, including his opening partner Jack Ryder, all-rounder Maheer Aamir, and other unknown players, are allegedly still unhappy with the team management, and despite a successful opening fixture, their attitude has not improved, but has been exacerbated. Why, you may ask? Well, firstly, because the agreement brokered by Wasim only handed over more control over selection to Raza, while Misbah retained his power over disciplanary issues, meaning that the unpopular restrictions on the players' activities off the field have been kept in place. When the issue was raised by Nazim in a team meeting, Misbah reportedly compared them to "extracurricular activities", saying that, while they were important, limits had to be placed on them. Secondly, it is understood that several players violated the 10 p.m. curfew imposed by Misbah on the night of the first ODI, leading to an angry outburst by the head coach, even if every player was back at the team hotel by 11 p.m. after a tiring day in the field. The "Nazim faction", as it is increasingly being referred to, was reportedly incensed at Misbah's perceived overreaction, right after a victory in the first ODI. While the increasingly hostile conflict within the Pakistani camp has so far not affected their performance, it remains to be seen whether this will still be the case in their upcoming fixtures.

Asad Raza conveys a message to his side after the Newsletter causes distress amongst team members and fans

According to the sources, Asad Raza sent a voice message to the team's WhatsApp group, which said the following:

"These newsletters are total BS, except when they are praising me. Focus on the game lads. This is just a conspiracy theory from the Afghans led by their manager who threatened me the other day. As long as you are performing, I will protect you from Misbah and allow you to party as much as you want. I am a free-thinking man and have @Umair7 on the same page. Differences of opinions are good and are nothing out of the blue or something to worry about. Concentrate on the game!"

 

[Umair7]

Every player, in every camp, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us (Party All Night Camp), or you are with the terrorists (Misbah Camp)."

 

[Mijurkat]

What is going on here? The terrorists (Misbah Camp)?
It's Pawristan or Pakistan?
