Cricketer or Commando? – Express Urdu

When net practice was needed, a time to overcome one’s shortcomings and hone one’s skills, the national cricketers were undergoing rigorous training at the Kakul Academy in those days. In the meantime, some pictures and videos have surfaced from which it is understood that the exercise was more than necessary for the players.

Azam Khan became unfit before the start of the T20 series against New Zealand and Mohammad Rizwan lost fitness after playing two matches. Cricket has already become too much. When a series ends, a league begins, when one league ends, another league begins. Thus this series continues throughout the year. Big and famous cricketers get busy shooting for an advertisement when they get an offer. Their family and social life is separate from it.

When a new head of an organization takes over, he wants to do something new to wow everyone. He wants to show the world that the people who were the head of this institution before him did not know how to work. After cricketer Rameez Raja came journalist Najam Sethi but before he could achieve any major feat, industrialist Zaka Ashraf replaced him. Zaka Ashraf accomplished the biggest feat in his short tenure as PCB Chairman by removing Babar Azam from the captaincy. His tenure was also short-lived, otherwise some other achievements could have been written along with his name.

With his departure, media house owner, former caretaker chief minister and federal interior minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi joins BCB. One of his achievements is to restore Babar Azam to the captaincy, while the other achievement is the military training of cricketers. Since Naqvi Sahib is the Chairman of PCB as well as Home Minister, he must have thought that why not give military training to the cricketers so that they can perform like a commando in a difficult time. The only thing they neglected is that these players have to go to the battlefield and not to fight any terrorist.

They have to compete in the field of cricket and they have to test themselves against players like themselves. They should be super fit, not fit for sports, but not commando. The goddess of fortune is kind to Mohsin Naqvi at this time. When the PDM government ended, he assumed the post of the longest caretaker Chief Minister in the history of Punjab. While he was supervising the Chief Ministership, Chairman PCB’s supervision also fell into disrepair. After the elections in the Federation and Punjab, the supervisors were replaced by the supervisors, so the people running the country system thought it necessary to try Punjab Speed ​​in the Federation as well.

Mohsin Naqvi also got the honor of being the Federal Interior Minister first and later elected as an independent senator. At present, he is carrying out immense responsibilities including maintaining peace and order across the country, rounding up electricity thieves through FIA. Despite all his busy schedule, he also finds time for national cricket. His specialty is that he is running the Ministry of Interior and the Pakistan Cricket Board full time. This has never happened before. How could it be, there was no Mohsin Naqvi. The same cannot be said about them

You have joined the power by stubbornness

And power is not always sustainable

If the decision makers think that a person can wear more than one hat in the national interest then no one has any right to object. Reference was made to the national interest because such decisions would certainly not be made in personal interest. What about Hasdin, where do they see someone’s performance? They should just get a chance to criticize. They may keep saying that Mohsin Naqvi is more powerful than the Prime Minister. What is that song:

Some people will say, it is the job of the people to say

Naqvi did a good job explaining that the Prime Minister is his elder brother and friend and he prefers personal relationships over portfolios. Good, very good, they are indispensable to the system. Keep burning people.

If we talk about cricket, at one time the test match was also 6 days long. Five days of matches and one day break in between. Players were sensitive then. For their convenience, the game was not held for five consecutive days. The poor were tired. Throughout the year, the Test series was also one-half. Sometimes 5 and sometimes 3 test series. After four days of a Test match between England and Australia were rained out, they decided to take the field in one innings instead of limited overs and two innings of the Test match.

This one decision laid the foundation of ODI cricket. Initially there were innings of 55 or 60 overs. Then it was limited to 50 overs. Day and night matches were also started, which were called day and night. When the ODI World Cup started, the first three World Cups were held in England. At that time there were only two superpowers in cricket, the biggest being England and then Australia. Then came the era of T20. Now T-Ten has also started. Today’s cricket superpower is India.

Where a series in a year and now a whole year of cricket. India does not allow its players to play in any league other than the Indian Premier League to save them from extra work. Its players get so much wealth from IPL that they don’t need to get fit by playing in another country. National cricketers do not earn enough from PSL to close the doors of other leagues on them.

Our cricketers play cricket throughout the year. He continues to play in the national team, PSL and other leagues. Other tiring engagements are separate. In such a case, they need training with cricketers, not soldiers. Cricketers need to improve their batting, bowling, wicket-keeping and fielding techniques along with the game, not on the battlefield. Let cricketers be players, no need to make commandos. The rest is up to you.
