Future national team T20 openers are identified by Ramiz Raja

During the Pakistan Super League (PSL) match between Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans, Ramiz Raja, the former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has named the two players he believes are best suited to open for the national T20 team.

Multan defeated Peshawar handily by 56 runs in the fifth PSL game on Friday at the Multan Cricket Ground.

Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris played devastating innings, and in a video on his YouTube channel, Ramiz Talks, he said: “Look, these two have fantastic potential, and I think these two are the future opening pair of Pakistan T20I side.”

The veteran cricketer noted that the pair should have sustained their strong innings to finish the run-chase, though.

They sometimes forget that you don’t play such innings for the gallery but rather you have to sustain it and win the match for your side, he added, adding that getting out after putting in the hard effort and establishing the pace is an insult to their own abilities.

College students were addressed by Rakul Preet Singh, who urged them to avoid letting stress affect them.

In her speech, she stated, “We take on more stress than we should in life. I was a college student once, just like you, and I can now state that we put too much stress on ourselves because of exams and other things. Life has a lot more obstacles to overcome! You may believe that your difficulties are the biggest at any given period of life, but this is not the case. Problems weren’t as bad as you made them out to be, one learns much later. You may live a good life without worry, in my opinion!

KANDAHAR: Teenage females study religious scriptures as the disembodied voice of a male professor blares over a loudspeaker in a frigid classroom in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban organisation.

In the Taalum Ul Islam Ladies’ Madrassa, or seminary, where male teachers are barred from overhearing the voices of female pupils in person, students alternately send queries to the expert on the class laptop.

According to staff members who granted Reuters rare access to the madrassa in December, the number of students at the institution in Kandahar city has roughly doubled to around 400 in the past year due to the Taliban administration’s decision to prohibit girls and women from the majority secular high schools and universities.

Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has said that the “Jail Bharo” (court arrest) movement will begin on Wednesday, beginning in Lahore, and blames the current coalition government for its “political victimisation” of his party officials and friends.

He warned the Pakistan Democratic Movement-led (PDM) government in his address to the nation on Friday from his home in Lahore’s Zaman Park, where he has been living since being shot in the legs on November 3 of last year. “We will fill jails, they [authorities] will have no space left to hide,” he said.

Following the filing of sedition charges against several of his party’s leaders, including Fawad Chaudhry, Azam Swati, and Shahbaz Gill, Imran Khan declared “Jail Bharo Tehreek” on February 4 and urged PTI members and supporters to get ready to march across the nation.

The former prime minister, who was removed from office after a vote of no-confidence in April of last year, said, “They want to enslave us by threatening to throw us in jails,” vowing to carry out the wishes of the authorities.

This was done to raise an additional Rs115 billion out of the Rs170 billion Pakistan agreed to pay under the terms of the IMF.

His remarks follow a Lahore High Court (LHC) judgement requiring Mr. Khan to personally appear before the court to file a protective bail request in a case brought against him due to his involvement in a protest outside the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) headquarters.

Mr. Chaudhry claimed that Mr. Imran was not a participant in the protest and that the charges brought against him were absurdly false. He said, “He wants to appear in court, but doctors have advised him against moving since it could break apart the sick bone. He said that Mr. Khan would be attacked and that his counsel had asked the court to provide a guarantor for his security while he was away.

He claimed that unlike Nawaz Sharif, Mr. Imran will not flee to London. He continued, “He took bullets for Pakistanis.” He informed the judge that our attorney will show up on Thursday.

Nikos Dendias, the foreign minister of Greece, and Mevlut Cavusoglu, the foreign minister of Turkey, went to the earthquake-stricken regions of Turkiye on Sunday.

The trip was a part of renewed “seismic diplomacy” between the two uneasy friends, whose interactions have frequently been chilly, if not outright hostile. Three years after the two nations nearly started a war over two uninhabited islets in the Aegean Sea, something similar occurred in 1999.

A 7.6-magnitude earthquake that devastated Turkiye in August 1999 left nearly 18,000 people dead; the following month, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake that struck the Greek city of Athens left 143 people dead. The two nations sent rescuers to aid in each other’s efforts in both circumstances. The thawing of bilateral ties had received extensive coverage in the international press.

Cavusoglu thought back to a letter he had written at the time to TIME magazine as a private person.

“At the time, I advised against waiting for another earthquake to mend our relationships. As the foreign minister of Turkiye, I reiterate this. We must work to strengthen our bonds, Cavusoglu stated.

KARACHI: According to reports Sunday citing traders and analysts, the rupee is anticipated to begin its recovery drive against the US dollar as a result of the government’s efforts to secure the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) bailout programme having boosted the market’s positive sentiments and due to an increase in dollar supply.

The government appears committed to take certain preliminary steps that could assist in fulfilling the IMF requirements to finalise the state-level agreement with the international lender.

The local currency increased by around 2.18% against the dollar in the interbank market during the previous week, rising from 275.30 on Monday to 269.28 on Friday.

Islamabad and the IMF did not reach an agreement to release the funds from a $6.5 billion bailout during the fund’s 10-day visit, but both sides agreed to continue protracted negotiations because the South Asian country’s deepening economic crisis does not appear to have a quick fix.

In order to get additional aid, prevent default, and restore its foreign currency reserves, which have fallen to $2.9 billion, Pakistan must reach an agreement with the IMF for additional funding.

The death toll from this week’s earthquakes in Turkey and Syria approached 16,000 on Thursday as irritation grew over the delayed assistance delivery and optimism that many survivors would be discovered 72 hours after the tragedy.

The incident, according to a Turkish official, poses “extremely serious issues” for the May 14 election, in which President Tayyip Erdogan is anticipated to face the toughest opposition in his 20 years in office.

In Turkey and Syria, a large number of people spent a third night sleeping outside or in automobiles in the frigid winter weather since their homes had been demolished or were so shook by the earthquakes that they were too terrified to go back inside.

It is expected that the earthquake, which occurred in the middle of the night and was followed by strong aftershocks, will be Turkey’s deadliest since 1999, when a tremor of a similar magnitude claimed more than 17,000 lives.

Video of a few more survivors being rescued in Turkey surfaced late on Wednesday. One of them was Abdulalim Muaini, who was taken from his collapsed home in Hatay, Turkey, where he had been staying since Monday next to his dead wife.
