The current ICC GM and former PCB CE accepts that the landscape of the sport has changed as he urged countries and franchise leagues to find a way to “coexist”.

The ongoing two-day visit to Pakistan by Mr Barclay is the first by an ICC Chairman since ICC President Ray Mali’s visit in 2008 and will involve discussions regards Pakistan's participation in the World Cup in India and their concerns about ICC revenue sharing model.

As per sources, the India board has rejected PCB's idea of a Hybrid Model despite lack of objections to this proposal by Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.

Chasing a target of 120 runs set by PCB XI, the Qalandars' Fakhar Zaman hit 68*(23) whilst Tahir Baig contributed with 51*(22) to take their side to a comfortable win at the newly inaugurated Narowal Sports Complex.

The Pakistani duo will play for the franchise Seattle Orcas in the opening season of the tournament which is expected to run from July 13th to July 30th.

The all-rounder chats to Saj about why he left Pakistan to start a new life in USA, reflects on playing just 15 times for Pakistan, the growth of cricket in USA, his hope to play for USA in future and more.

Former Pakistan captain and Chief Selector feels that having cricketers who actually go and watch players as selectors is better than picking players using a data-driven approach.

The left-hand batter will play for Kandy Falcons, whilst the Pakistan captain and pacer will be in action for the Strikers in their first season of the Lanka Premier League in July-August 2023.

The new selection committee comprises of Chairman Haroon Rashid, Mickey Arthur, Grant Bradburn and Hassan Cheema.

Mickey Arthur chats to Saj about wanting to implement an attacking brand in Test cricket, Babar Azam’s captaincy, Pakistan’s chances at the Asia Cup and World Cup, Mohammad Rizwan’s batting position in ODIs, responds to Imam-ul-Haq’s comments about selection and his excitement at working with Pakistan’s young talent.

The Chairman of the PCB Management Committee feels that Babar had done a satisfactory job in the recently concluded series against New Zealand and he had told the Pakistan skipper to not worry about this issue.

Former PCB Chairman feels that it makes no sense for India to be given the largest share of the ICC revenue as it needs it the least and feels that there is no appetite for the ICC member countries to stand-up to the BCCI and demand a fairer share.

Babar Azam's side had grabbed the number one position briefly on 5 May and would have remained at the top of the ODI rankings even after the annual update had they completed a 5-0 sweep in the series against New Zealand.
