A lesson for ALL rulers in arrest of 30 years President of Sudan Omar al-Bashir (75 years of age) that protest against rising prices ultimately results in arrest of rulers of even 3 decades.

Must remember that there was a direct link between toppling of even a stable government and the rising prices, which breaks the back of the ordinary citizens.

Wise rulers never ever listens to the advices of the IMF, WB and pseudo domestic economic experts, which goes against the financial interests of the teeming millions, who are crushed by the weight of the rising prices, in every sphere of their life.

Moreover, no government can be TOPPLED (latest example of coup failure in Turkey) which goes for severe and ruthless actions (like in Saudi Arabia) in recovering bank loans and looted national wealth from the elite (just about 2%).

So, the best way to comfortably rule in the government is to build a strong, rather very strong middle class; and be the saviour of the poor, for the poor and by the poor. Elite class can make you a ruler, but it cannot save you from being toppled.

Protests began in December over rising food costs but quickly expanded to a broad challenge to Mr. al-Bashir’s hold on power.

Sudan’s military ousted President Omar al-Bashir on Thursday 11 April 2019, the defence minister announced, ending a 30-year authoritarian rule in the face of mass street protests that have swept the country.

Defense Minister Awad Mohamed Ahmed Ibn Auf said that Mr. al-Bashir 75 had been taken into custody and that the government had been dissolved and the Constitution suspended.

Mr. Prime Minister Pakistan as its “normal” now that some of the G-20 countries support any attack in RETALIATION of a “terror” incident [not withstanding the fact that it may be a False Flag operation] wherein, particularly France and the USA fully approved Indian attack on Pakistani territory on 2/26 and thereafter, obviously, on the basis of your own credible intelligence reports, you have repeatedly said many times that it was possible that India could sponsor a terrorist attack in Pakistan before the start of its general elections next month.

In this regard, would it not be prudent and a deterrent that Pakistan also announced to the world that any Indian or other nation’s sponsored terror attack on Pakistan, shall invite retaliatory jaw breaking riposte from Pakistan, as per the new international norms.

Now a million dollar question arises that why should Pakistan wait and absorb Indian sponsored state terrorism on our soil, when Indian officials (particularly its NSA Ajit Doval) have openly explained their intent of defensive offensive operations inside Pakistani territory?

PM Imran further told the journalists that it was possible that India could sponsor a terrorist attack in Pakistan

How to win the ODI World Cup 2019?

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

In the first ODI at Sharjah vs the Australian cricket team, our boys lost the script in the first 10 overs of the power play, when only two fielders can field outside the 30 meters circle, with highly docile Test style batting, when they accumulated only 40 runs, whereas, in the last power power play of 10 overs, when five fielders are allowed outside the circle, our aggressive batting resulted in scoring 86 runs.

The above analysis proves that Imam up Haq and Shan Masood are NOT the material or horses for the opening batsmen’s slot for the ODI version of cricket. They can not take us to any success in the ODI World Cup matches, because the above named two batsmen are not capable of scoring 90+ runs in the first power play, even if, they are given opportunity to bat twice in an innings.

In this regard, despite PCB having given an uninterrupted looong free run, our selectors and so called team management (which also includes senior staff of NCA Lahore) have badly failed to produce three or four deserving openers for the ODI World Cup; and at the end of the day, Test openers are being wrongly been asked to perform the duties of the openers of the ODI games.

Mr. Prime Minister, you in your days as a playing cricketer always said and implemented the idea that in a playing eleven, every player has a specialised role, which in other words meant selecting horses for courses.

Under the circumstances, when another highly disappointing World Cup 2019 performance (just the ODI world Cup 2015) is writ large on the faces of top managers of the NCA, Selectors and the team management personnel, who get fatly paid by the PCB, the following questions must be asked by the new management of the PCB, to decide any emergent steps of changes, particularly, in the team management and in the team, as well, to salvage the situation for the ODI World Cup 2019:

NCA (High Performance Center of Excellence):

~Why no openers were groomed and polished for the World Cup who could score 90+ runs in the first power play?

~Why no power hitters produced, groomed and polished for the World Cup?

~ Why no genuine all rounders produced for the World Cup?

~ Why no fitness plan developed and implemented for the World Cup players, whereas, many of our players are looking visibly overweight and unfit; and no batsman is fit enough to run for five runs on his shot and medium pacers are bowling even below the 130 KMPH speed.

Selectors, Coaches and Captain Sarfaraz Ahmad:

~Why Shan Masood was included in the ODI team for South Africa, when he was not given a single chance to show his performance for the World Cup?

~Why Imam ul Haq given another chance against the Australian team when he was given due chances to play in all the five ODI matches in South Africa?

~ Why Rizwan was taken on tours but not given any chances?

~ If Shan Masood and Imam ul Haq have been tried from Test to ODI games why Sami Aslam and Fawad Alam has been ignored for even Test matches series, we recently lost vs New Zealand and South African teams?

~ Why Umar Amin was not considered for the five ODI matches against Australian team?

~Why Muhammad Amir has been given so many chances, when time and again, he has proved that he was a spent cartridge?

~Why players like Haris Rauf (LQ), Musa Khan(IU), Suhail Akhtar(LQ), Awais Zia (KK), Ehsan Ali(QG) and Wahab Riaz [PZ] (who bowled fastest ball in the PSL-4) have been never considered and given chances to prove their mettle for the World Cup2019 squad?

~Why players for the five matches against the Australians have not been selected on the basis of fitness test, when previously even a senior player like Umar Akmal was dropped on the basis that he could not pass the fitness test?

Most of the cautious people will argue that now there was very little time left to make changes of management and team personnel for the World Cup, which will mean that we have taken defeat or poor performance of our team, at the ODI World Cup 2019, as fait accompli, whilst, you
as our dynamite leader and Prime Minister always motivated the nation by educating that one is never defeated, till the defeat is accepted.

So, why to accept defeat even before the World Cup has started? Action is always better than inaction. PCB must act fast; and act now.

If Pakistan has to have any remote chance of playing the final of the ODI World Cup 2019, the entire team management and the selection committee along-with the complete NCA staff, needs immediate replacement; and the following may be considered as replacements for suitable positions:

1. Viv Richards
2. Zaheer Abbas
3. Majid Khan
4. Wasim Bari
5. Sarfaraz Nawaz
6. JAVED Miandad
7. Mohsin Hasan Khan
8. Moin Khan
9. Amir Suhail
10. Dean Jones
11. Aaqib JAVED
12.Waqar Younis
13. Wasim Akram
14. Muhammad Yousaf
15. IQBAL Wasim
16. Abdul Qadir
17. Mushtaq Ahmad
18. Rashid Latif

Terrorism is the scourge of the world and must be eliminated with all the strength at our disposal.

The decision of the some of the ICC members not to play cricket in Pakistan (on the pretext of security situation) after the 2009 incident of attack on the bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore, was a signal of weakness and helped playing straight into the hands of the terrorists, which not only gave a sense of a victory to the criminals, but was also a message that terrorism, pays.

Whereas, on the other hand, the world never stopped visiting Germany for tourism and sports after the:

~ 1972 Munich Olympics bloodbath (17 people killed including 6 Israeli Sports coaches and 5 Israeli athletes.)

~ The Oktoberfest bombing was a terrorist attack with a right-wing radical background. On 26 September 1980, 13 people died and 211 were injured after the explosion of an improvised explosive device (IED) at the main entrance of the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. The attack is considered to be the deadliest attack in Germany since World War II. The attack was attributed to the right-wing extremist and geology student Gundolf Köhler who was killed while placing the explosive device; however, doubts remain as to whether he acted alone.

~ On 22 July 2016, a shooting occurred in the vicinity of the Olympia shopping mall in the Moosach district of Munich, Germany. Ten people, including the perpetrator, were killed and 36 others were injured. The shooting took place at a McDonald’s restaurant near the shopping mall, in front of a Saturn electronics store nearby, and in the mall itself. The gunman, later identified as 18-year-old David Sonboly, died nearby from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His motive was unclear, but thought to be political due to his right-wing extremist stands, which would also explain the chosen date. The investigation concluded at first it to be an apolitical mass-shooting motivated by xenophobia, mobbing, and psychological issues. After publication of three individual assessments in 2017, which concluded that there was a political motivation to the shooting, and the perpetrator’s links to other school schooters became known, the investigative authorities reopened the investigations in April 2018, which continue.

~ Similarly, no one stopped for a moment, visiting Vienna (Austria) after the OPEC siege on December 21, 1975, when six militants attacked the semi-annual meeting of OPEC leaders in Vienna, Austria; the attackers took more than 60 hostages after killing an Austrian policeman, an Iraqi OPEC security officer, and a Libyan economist. Several other individuals were wounded. The self-named “Arm of the Arab Revolution” group was led by Carlos the Jackal. The siege resulted in complex diplomatic negotiations. It ended two days later, after flights to Algiers and Tripoli, with all the hostages and terrorists walking away from the situation. The fact that this was one of the first times that Arab states were targeted by terrorists. Saudi oil minister Zaki Yamani and the other OPEC ministers were taken hostage by notorious terrorist Carlos (the Jackal) in Vienna, Austria. The hostages were released after two days riding an airplane across North Africa, even though Carlos was ordered by his superiors to execute Yamani and his Iranian counterpart Jamshid Amouzegar.

~ Also no one ever stopped visiting Britian for sports and tourism despite bombings that took place in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain since 1969. There were at least 10,000 bomb attacks during the conflict (1969–1998).

~ During the 27 years civil war in Sri Lanka (1983-2009) over two hundred thousand people were killed but normal sports activities and tours of foreign cricket teams continued. Even Cricket World Cup matches were held in Sri Lanka without any untoward incident.

~ In India during huge terror incidents, never once, any sporting team cancelled or shortened its tour from the country. Here it may not be out of place to mention that in the World’s list of terror incidents India has been always ranked among the top ten countries, but no sporting team declined to tour India.

~ It is very satisfying that since 2017 national cricket teams of Zimbabwe, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh (ladies) plus the World X1 players have toured Pakistan and found it the most peaceful and secure place to play sports in any city of the country. Moreover, since 2017 many foreign cricketers, umpires and other officials (retired and active) have been to Pakistan in connection with Pakistan Super League cricket matches and confirmed that Pakistan was the most secure and comfortable country for cricket, other sports and tourism throughout the length and breadth of the country.

In view of the foregoing, it is earnestly hoped that the all sports organisations of the world, particularly, the ICC members will fully support New Zealand in its resolve to remain steadfast in defeating the terrorism; and keep on playing in New Zealand all the scheduled sports events and matches in the country despite today’s (Friday 15 March 2019) most abhorring and dastardly terrorism incident in their city of Christchurch, where almost 50 peaceful Muslims offering Friday prayers in two different mosques of the city, were most brutally massacred (which was also telecast live over the Internet in most gruesome manner which ashamed even the holocaust).

It is earnestly hoped that the ICC members must not make the same mistake with New Zealand, which they made with Pakistan, by declining to send their teams, which in fact, was the fulfilment of the aims of the terrorists, to isolate this country (Pakistan), which was the flag bearer of the fight against the world’s longest war on terror, ever fought over this planet.

Pakistan should be rewarded not punished for steadfastly and alone fighting and winning the war on terror for 18 continues years, where troops and resources of 49 NATO countries led by the full might of the USA, failed to defeat the scourge of terrorism and left Afghanistan, one by one, after even paying money to the enemy, to not to attack their soldiers.

Pakistan (which is as safe as any other country of the world but where world’s best Presidential style security is provided to the visiting sports teams) has been unnecessarily made to suffer by the policies of the some ICC members, which obviously played into the hands of the Indian propaganda) who on one hand, admit committing terror activities in Pakistan, as part of the Indian defensive offensive doctrine of their National Security Advisor Ajit Doval; and on the other hand, leave no opportunity for using sports, as a political tool, about which now IOC has already very swiftly and strictly taken action against entire sports bodies of India; and forthwith banned holding of any sports events to be organised in India, under the auspices of the IOC. It is high time now for the ICC to take the same punitive action against the BCCI for politicising the glorious game of cricket, in line with the policies of the International Olympic Committee and charter of the ICC, as well.

In view of the foregoing, now a time has come for the major ICC members like ECB, ACB, Cricket SA and NewZealand Cricket Board to immediately resume sending their teams to play in Pakistan, which as explained above, is comparatively much more secure country than Germany, Austria, France, UK, Ireland, India, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & even the USA (remember terror strike bombing in the Atlanta Olympics USA of Centennial Olympic Park which was a domestic terrorist pipe bombing attack on the Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 27 during the 1996 Summer Olympics. The blast directly killed 1 person and injured 111 others; another person later died of a heart attack).

Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians.

Happy New Year 2019..!

While wishing all the Indians a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year 2019, we would like to inform everyone in India that if at all, we have to be friends, then that friendship must be in true sense; and we must not act and behave with each other, in a hypocritical manner.

We Pakistanis would also like to assure the Indians that even if we wanted, we can’t conquer India. At the same time even if India wanted, it can’t pull down Pakistan, without India being destroyed, as well.

So, why to waste our time and energies in an imaginary hatred policies?

Why to waste our precious resources, in being the prisoners of our foolish past?

From the first day of the new year 2019, let us bury our bitter past and be friends in true sense, like all the European countries.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Let us have a genuine peace. Let India remove all its strike forces from the border without any fear. Let us join hands to wage a war against poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy. Let us turn this subcontinent into a bastion of peace and a heaven on earth.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

India and Pakistan just need a period of single decade of genuine peace, to turn around its fortunes to emerge as the most potent economic and cultural power-house of this world.

The only condition is the genuine and authentic peace, like the one which exists in between the EU countries.

Why India and Pakistan should live for decades like divided Korea? Why both the countries can not live like united Europe?

Europe which was so divided that its residents fought two world wars; but now when sense has prevailed, Europeans are reaping the dividends of peace.

Now, when both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers, conquering one other is out of question, without Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).

As such, those believing in success of low intensity wars are lunatics, living in fools paradise, like Hitler and Mussolini.

War between two nuclear neighbours is out of contention, because, even if one country using first strike option, annihilates the other neighbour, the fallout of nuclear radiation will leave the victor country, uninhabitable forever.

Thus, peace is the only option for India and Pakistan.

Don’t be afraid of problems between the two countries, because they will remain for ever, but we have to give priority to peace, over the problems.

Let us make a new start from the beginning of the new year 2018, with the slogan – Long live the friendship of the teeming millions of India and Pakistan.

Once again our kind regards and best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year 2019 to all the Indians.

Nobel Peace Prize for the Inter Services Intelligence Agency of Pakistan (ISI).

The below given news item confirms that timely intelligence provided by the ISI to Pak government proved vital in averting a full blown nuclear war between Pakistan & India, which invariably would have had a catastrophic affect for the humanity all over the globe.

As such, the Nobel Peace Prize Organisation must consider awarding its Peace Noble Prize for the year 2019 to the ISI, for definitely saving our planet from certain extinction.

In this connection, it will not be out of place to mention that the Nobel Peace Prize has already been awarded 27 times to [organizations]
between 1901 and 2017.

24 individual organizations have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, as UNHCR, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, has received the Nobel Peace Prize twice, in 1954 and 1981.

In this regard, Nobel Peace Prize for 2013 was also awarded to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) “for its extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons”.

Therefore, it is strongly recommended to award the Nobel Peace Prize for year the 2019 to the Inter Services Intelligence Agency of Pakistan “for its extensive and monumental efforts to save the human species from certain extinction in a full blown nuclear war between Pakistan and India who jointly posses about 300 nuclear weapons”.

Dawn news item:
The source briefed a handful of journalists on the “dangerous attack” India had planned with the backing of Israel from its airbase in Rajasthan, located about a 100km from the international border with Pakistan. [Timely intelligence] and backdoor messaging made it clear to India that a befitting response would be given if it were to go ahead with this plan, one which would possibly take the two states to a “point of no return”.

The source credited [Pakistan’s premier intelligence agency, ISI,] as “one of the best in the world” and feared the next possible escalation by India would not be in terms of ground, air or missiles, but more likely in the form of a hybrid conflict in the nature of militant attacks, economic measures, etc, against Pakistan.

A Clarion Call
To
The President of the United States
And the
Entire Civil and Military leadership of the United States

Dear Sir/Madam,

The news that USA’s National Security Advisor has informed India about supporting India’s right of self-defence, is really alarming and may incite India venturing into any misadventure against Pakistan, which surely and easily can spark an instant full blown conflict, between the two nuclear armed nations.
Link:- https://m.timesofindia.com/india/we-support-indias-right-to-self-defense-us-nsa-to-ajit-doval/articleshow/68018413.cms?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=TOIMobile

On the principles of justice, fair-play and Human Rights, the USA should have first and foremost supported the right of self-determination for the Kashmiris, granted by the Charter of the UN and promised by the Indian PM with the world, at the UN Security Council and mandated by the UN SC resolutions.

Under the circumstances, when many top Indians are openly saying that Pakistan has nothing to do with the homegrown uprising in Kashmir, Indian mischief is badly exposed‬.

Moreover, keeping in view that the suicide car bomb was detonated by an INDIAN citizen and that no one can enter Indian side of the Line of Control in Kashmir (LOC) from the Pakistani side, which (LOC) is highly secured by the Indians with manned impregnable barbed wire wall, which is further electronically secured with laser and satellite’s most modern surveillance systems of the world, there is not an iota of a proof of any Pakistani connection in the Pulwama incident of killings of Indian security personnel.

If the root cause of the problem is not addressed, do not expect peace in the Kashmir region.

At the same time, the leadership of the United States must not forget how India killed 40 innocent Sikhs in a FALSE FLAG OPERATION in Kashmir on the eve of the Indian visit of the US President Bill Clinton, as admitted by the Indian Army Lt. Gen. (R) details available at
link:- https://www.google.com.pk/amp/s/freepresskashmir.com/2018/03/20/watch-retired-lt-gen-says-indian-army-was-involved-in-sikh-massacre-of-chittisinghpura/amp/

However, before giving any support to the Indian government, over this issue; the P-5 UN members should immediately send a team of the world experts (under the auspices of the UN) to investigate the whole matter and fix the responsibility of this attack on the Indian CRPF personnel on 2/14 on Jammu -Srinagar highway and also to determine, whether, it was a false flag operation of the Modi government or not, which is desperate to divert attention from the UN Human Rights Commission’s report [ First-ever UN human rights report on Kashmir calls for international inquiry into multiple violations
Link:- https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=23198 ]
which clearly blames the Indian government and its forces, over worst Human Rights violations and atrocities, making it liable for the trial on war crimes by the the International Criminal Court (ICC or ICCt) at The Hague, just like it happened in the case of recent war crimes of the Myanmar’s forces. [ Myanmar military leaders must face genocide charges – UN report
Link:-https://news.un.org/en/story/2018/08/1017802 ]

Moreover, do not forget Sir, your any undue encouragement to India for its misadventures vs Pakistan, will surely escalate into a nuclear Armageddon, endangering the existence of entire humanity, on our planet.

In this regard, your kind attention is invited towards the following:

In view of the above submissions, the US government leadership is requested to be well aware of the repercussions of US support to India, on its unjust cause in Kashmir, which can prove to be of catastrophic consequences, for ‪not only your country, but the world at large, as well.

Subject:- Albert Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over without any change and expecting different results.

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

Without urgent changes in our team’s coaches & captain, we should forget about winning the ODI WC 2019.

Out of last 10 ODI matches our team won only 2 matches (20%) & Sarfaraz Ahmad scored 292 runs of 17 innings in 13 months of (2018-19) averaging 24+ with 5 not outs.

In this regard, during the recently held Asian Cup tournament played in the UAE in September 2018, our team got unforgettable thrashing from the Indian B team (Virat Kohli was not playing) which defeated our hapless team in a manner, margin and style which may be very difficult to forget, detailed as below:

On 19 September 2018 India defeated Pakistan with 8 wickets by bowling out our team for 162 runs in just 43.1 overs and achieved the target in ONLY 29 overs.
(Please read detailed analysis dated 20 September 2018 of this match given below as Annex-A and a write up dated 22 September 2018 titled “Why our lions have become lambs” as Annex-B.)

In the second match played on 23 September 2018 Pakistan scored 237/7 in 50 overs which was over hauled by the Indians in 39.3 overs by just losing one wicket and won the match with 63 balls to spare, as if, it was not a Pakistani winner of Champions Trophy team, but a team from Afghanistan or Hong Kong.
My short comments dated 23 September 2018 after losing the above mentioned match vs India, are reproduced below for your kind perusal please.

Quote:
High time for head coach and captain to quit for turning Pakistani lions into lambs..!

Today the main reason for a low/disappointing score of our team was that we played 175 dot balls (29.1 overs) out of 300 balls (50 overs).

In first 10 overs of our innings when only 2 fielders are allowed outside the 30 yards circle, we scored only 28 runs against Indian score of 53 runs.

Test match strategy, planning and mindset can never work in an ODI game, where name of the game is attack, innovation, positive approach in team selection, batting, bowling, fielding and staying one step ahead of the opponent’s game plan and strategy.”
Unquote.

Respected Imran Khan Sahab, although, being the Prime Minister it is too much to request you to indulge in the nitty gritty of cricket affairs, yet, the next ODI World Cup is too serious an affair to be left with the current PCB management, which may be very much sincere with its job, but it looks reclaiming World Cup for Pakistan, is too big a job for them, for which they have somehow been in an inertia, since September last; and very clearly, it is visible that they look afraid of media, in making bold and corrective decisions, in the larger interest of Pakistani cricket. Moreover, the current management of the PCB can’t even say that now it was too late to make changes in the team, because given below are written proofs (Annex- A & B) that they were duly warned, way back in September 2018. It looks that the PCB’s management had decided to maintain status quo, as their cardinal policy, but the problem with this status quo policy is, that you end pleasing none and are held responsible for the ultimate failure of the task, originally given to you.

In view of the foregoing, you are once again (for the last time) requested to takeover the reigns of the PCB in your own hands and urgently intervene for a vital course correction, so that Imad Wasim (Captain) or any person you think is a captain material & Aquib Javed/Amir Suhail (Head Coach) may be considered for these positions with a cut out task to bring the World Cup back, under your leadership, otherwise forget about even reaching the semi finals stage.

Annex-A
[Analysis of India vs Pakistan match played on 20 September 2018]

Disaster at Dubai..!

The total capitulation of Pakistan’s cricket team in the match played on 19 September 2018 at Dubai cricket stadium versus the Indian team must be taken positively for immediate corrective action before the start of the ICC ODI World Cup just after eight months time.

Victories and defeats are part of the game, but abject surrender is not acceptable, for which responsibility must be fixed and heads should roll.

In today’s India vs Pakistan match played at Dubai our entire team just scored 162 runs (which is not even a decent T20 match score) in 43.1 overs, which was easily overtaken by the Indian team in 29 overs for the loss of only two wickets.

The story of most shameful performance by our team is also very aptly reflected by the following statistics of dot balls played by our team:

Total balls of the Pakistani innings = 259 balls or 43.1 overs.
Total dot balls played by our team = 159 balls.

When a team plays almost 62% dot balls then DOUBTS about their capabilities, abilities and INTENTIONS are always raised.

Above all, this pathetic situation also demands ruthless accountability of all concerned who are associated with our team, particularly the captain and the team of coaches.

It is earnestly hoped that the new management of the PCB headed by Mr. Ehsan Mani also knows that the head coach of our team has never played a Test match in his cricketing career.

With this team management and the captain, it will be extremely difficult for our team to even move to the second round in the ODI World Cup schedule to start in May 2019 in England.

It is a timely wake up call for everyone concerned in the PCB, who were living in a false sense of comfort, after defeating Zimbabwe 5-0 in the ODI series, not realising that it was not even their C level team, due to the absence of six main players from the Zimbabwean Team.

This head coach and captain may not be the best choice for being retained till the next ODI World Cup. Especially, the captain who has unfortunately very badly failed to lead the team by example and from the front.

Mr. Aamir Suhail, considering that he is the best person available in the country, who possesses exceptional qualities of observing and correcting technical flaws of our players regarding batting, bowling, fielding, leadership and strategy matters; should be immediately appointed as head coach (and for any reason if it is not possible) then he should be appointed as team director, who should be the boss of the entire contingent of players, head coach, manager and all touring support staff.

If Mr. Aamir Suhail is appointed as the Team Director, may be there will be no need to replace the captain of the team; as under his mentorship, Sarfaraz Ahmad most probably will overcome his batting and leadership deficiencies, as well. Thus, leaving no need to find alternate player, as captain of the team.

Why our lions have become lambs..!

The best way for the new management of the PCB, to not to win the ICC ODI World Cup 2019 is to remain in inertia; and carry on with the present set up, without any change..

However, then a question will be asked that if everything of the past management was satisfactory, then why its chairman was removed?

Nevertheless, the pathetic performance ( being displayed during the ongoing Asia Cup matches) of the product of the previous management of the PCB (players and coaching staff) leaves much to be desired from the new management of the PCB.

Entire coaching staff of our team has miserably failed in delivering (despite very high salaries) along-with captain and the players, who seems to have totally lost their flair of the game and passion for victory: which was clearly visible with the Afghan players, many of whom were seen crying, after losing a nail biting match against our team.

Keeping in view that the ODI world cup is almost around the corner, Shoaib Malik should be immediately appointed captain of the Pakistani cricket team for all the three formats; and a power hitter wicket keeper batsman inducted in place of Sarfaraz Ahmad, who unfortunately, seems to have passed his shelf life; and because of his non-performance, the team has also lost its balance.

The difficulty, with which our team won the match against Afghan team, is not at all a good omen. Even otherwise also, Sarfaraz was originally appointed captain by Mr. Shahryar Khan, by default.

It is again reiterated that our head coach and bowling, batting and fielding coaches must be immediately replaced, because they have turned our players from lions to lambs.

Just look at the hugely declining performances of our fast bowlers including Muhammad Aamir and batsmen including Fakhar and Sarfaraz.

About the declining standards of our fielding, it’s low level during our yesterday’s match against the Afghan team, said it all.

As such, the new management of the PCB is advised that they must not wait for the corrective actions, till after the World Cup.

Pakistan has to win the 2019 ODI world cup in England, which at the moment, with the current lot of coaches and players, looks like a distant possibility.

After the recent change over in the PCB, it looks the new management is acting on a go slow and wait and watch policy.

PCB has to be proactive and must take immediate remedial steps.

Our team badly needs a leader who can inspire, motivate and lead players from his own performances.

Our team also needs immediate induction of power hitters (like Suhail Akhtar) and an accomplished all rounder.

We also need a new coaching staff which can also study the weak points of opponent players and guide our players to modify bowling and batting strategy according to the weak and strong points of the opponent players.

In view of the foregoing, the new set up of the PCB should come into action immediately, postponing the honeymoon period, till after the World Cup is won by our team.

Good luck for Mr. Ehsan Mani in re-vamping the PCB.

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

Kindly peruse below few proposals for the subject mentioned challenge of making Pakistan an economic super power in the shortest possible time harnessing huge and amazing manpower potential and talent of Pakistan.

Few towering Pakistani personalities which can single handedly make Pakistan richest country of the region:

Shaheed Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto, one of the greatest statesman witnessed by the last century, will always be remembered as a huge benefactor of the country for his following services to Pakistan:

~ Arraigned honourable repatriation of about 90,000 civil and military POW’s from India.

~ Gave a unanimously approved constitution to the country.

~ Laid the foundations of nuclearization of Pakistan by selecting a metallurgist as the correct person (Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan) to head the nuclear project, who was only answerable to the Prime Minister.

~ Held the Second Islamic Summit Conference from February 22-24, 1974 in Lahore which came to be known as the Lahore Summit. It was an extra ordinary summit that was held on the proposal of OIC Secretary General Tunku Abdul Rahman.

For even half of the above stated monumental services, any other country would have officially paid homage on birthday and death anniversary, every year, to such a benefactor of the nation.

Now coming back to the topic, Pakistan is still very lucky that in this era, quite a few persons are available as detailed below, who can single handedly make Pakistan an economic super power, provided they are given free hand like ZAB gave to Dr. A Q Khan.

1. Dr. Imran Ahmed Khan
confidently says that Pakistan’s prosperity and economic turnaround is linked to the indigenous development of Rare Earth Metals (REM), Copper, Gold , Molybdenum, Lithium, Aluminium and few more.
We have oil, gas, valuable metals and minerals in abundance and as per conservative estimates, are valued up to 51 Trillion USD repeat $ 51 trillion. [Here it will not be out of context to state that the total GDP of the top 10 world economies [America, China, Japan, Germany, UK, India, France, Brazil, Italy and Canada) is $ 53 trillion.]
All that Pakistan has to do is to impose a blanket ban on export of ANY ORE in RAW form; for example copper and gold should be allowed to be taken out of Pakistan only in the finished form, for which the reprocessing/purification plants (can also be built within our country) must be installed in Pakistan.
Thereafter, replicate KRL model for indigenous development of strategic metals and commercial sales after value addition.
A very brief introduction of Dr. Imran Ahmed Khan is provided as below:

2. Dr. Ikramul Haq is confident that we can easily increase tax revenues of the government of Pakistan from the current amount of about $ 40 billion to $ 80 billion per year.

The government of PTI can utilise his services in a suitable position to turnaround the economy of Pakistan; because at the end of the day, rebuilding of Pakistan’s shattered and plundered economy can only be done inside out, as loans and foreign aid at the best, can just keep us afloat/save from sinking.

Dr. Ikramul Haq is the most fit and suitable Pakistani person, who is highly qualified, extremely professional man of unmatched integrity and great international reputation of full command on taxation laws and international laws, on recovery of stolen assets. He has the best abilities to approach the challenges of economic turn around based on home grown strategies in a very smart, highly professional and least disruptive

3. Mr. Asif Sharif is a world renowned agriculture specialist of such a potential that it will not be an exaggeration to call him Steve Jobs of agriculture, who confidently says that given an opportunity he can help produce an exportable agricultural surplus of over $20 billion for Pakistan which in turn will also provide jobs for over 50 lacs Pakistanis.

In this regard, if we are able to hugely conserve water consumption in agricultural sector and simultaneously more than double the production with reduced cost by using the methods proposed by Mr. Asif Sharif, the vision of re-building economically strong Pakistan, which will be a giver of aid to the needy countries, can be achieved in the shortest possible time, through green revolution in agriculture sector.

According to the tested methods of Mr. Asif Sharif “Raised beds irrigation system saves 80% water. It is as good as drip irrigation. Production is increased by at least 40% and cost of production is reduced by 80% or more.”

In view of the foregoing, Mr. Asif Sharif may be considered to form an organisation directly reporting to the Prime Minister, which should be responsible for increasing agricultural productivity in the country, to create exportable surplus in the shortest possible time.

In this connection, Mr. Asif Sharif may be advised to give a detailed presentation of his brain child of Rural Sector Productivity Enhancement (RSPE) which he thinks is the solution for all ills, poverty alleviation, jobs creation and placement, production of food, feed, fiber and industrial raw materials that meet buyers quality and price expectations, wherein, all Agro based industry should be engaged to participate in profit sharing, which shall be a wholistic program.

4. Mr. Salim Ghauri
Mr. Salim Ghauri is also a world renowned IT entrepreneur recognised globally today. He is the founder & CEO of NetSol Technologies. Keeping in view that the future of all business and service industry lies in the optimum utilisation of IT related technologies the government must appoint Mr. Salim Ghauri in an appropriate position at the federal level with the challenge of increasing the IT exports of Pakistan to $ 10 billion by the end of FY 19-20.
