Sharjeel Khan banned for 5 years?

2 and a half suspended.
Bad decision by the tribunal. He should be banned for life if he was found guilty.

On the other hand, some very good news

Who is this Yahya Hussaini, a Geo news reporter? Why the ill feelings towards him?

Who is this Yahya Hussaini, a Geo news reporter? Why the ill feelings towards him?

He seems to have an agenda against the success of Pakistan cricket. For example, recently he has been defending Umar Akmal and attacking Mickey Arthur, and blamed the coaches for the poor fitness levels of a couple of players. Then, he attacks the PCB for dropping players like Hafeez and Sohail Tanvir, saying stuff like "PCB doesn't respect seniors" etc. There are hundreds of other examples.

Lol anyone still defending Umar Akmal at this stage needs their head checked I think.

I am really disappointed with the lack of matches that Pakistan are playing.
So we are only going to tour New Zealand in January and then 2 test matches with England till June.

so only 2 test matches, 3 T20s and 5 ODI till June lol.

The thing with Sohail Khan is his age and fitness. Even if you bring him back into the playing XI, I doubt he has more than 2 years left and then Pakistan are searching for someone to fill his spot. Better to allow a youngster with those two years to develop into the bowler and potential finisher that Pakistan needs (looking at Fahim Ashraf here)

I'll never miss the chance of punching Yahya Hussaini in the face

Yahya is biased, He has his own personal likes and dislikes jeopardizing his profession. The profession he is in demands neutrality rather than taking sides. Its a shame for the Sports Media. Not everything can be good at any department... Media is helpless they need money, ratings, gossip and conspiracy theories.... Unfortunately...

Babar's stunning limited-overs rise | cricket.com.au Meanwhile, Babar is on the rise. The real follower of on footsteps of some great current players like Virat. Speaking with his performance rather than looks! A classy act Babar. A genuine batsman after such a long time Masha'ALLAH

I think the real question that arises from this series is, has Ahmed Shehzad done enough to come back to the ODI and T20 sides?

I have been against his inclusion in the past, but he might be the ideal partner for Fakhar Zaman and a relief to see him rather than Azhar Ali.

I think Shehzad deserves the management confidence to have him a permanent spot in the ODI. But somehow, I feel this management won't leave Azhar Ali for ODI till they would suffer.... Azhar Ali is a very good test player among the best ones these days as far as stats are concerned, But he is a forced selection in ODI. Harmful for the lineup and combination....

Test and ODI league structures could hinge on India-Pakistan ties - ESPNcricinfo
A stupid, stupid, stupid move by the PCB. They are already taking legal action, so it's useless to vote against the ODI and Test leagues. Just wait until the case is over. They'd be the only ones voting against it anyway.
