Is this not a fit case for the authorities in the UAE to investigate the role of ICC’s hand in conniving with and protecting Indian and other countries criminal match fixing syndicates?
Lalit Modi exposes the ICC and the corruption of Indian cricketers..!
Is this not a fit case for the authorities in the UAE to investigate the role of ICC’s hand in conniving with and protecting Indian and other countries criminal match fixing syndicates?
Is ICC gloves in hand with IPL corruption in India?
Why CEO ICC Dave Richardson hushed up this complaint dated 20 June, 2013 lodged by Lalit Modi for over two years?
Why ICC has not yet asked the BCCI to inform the names of 12-15 Indian cricketers found maligned in the IPL matches fixing crime inquiry of the Indian Supreme Court?
Why the Anti-Corruption Unit of the ICC has ignored the huge match fixings in the IPL matches proved by the Mudgal Commission Report which led to the sacking of N Srinivasan as the BCCI chief?
Why ICC over reacted in the case of Pakistani players and banned them for 5 years even before the inquiry?
Why no Indian player banned by the ICC despite letter from L Modi and Mudgal Commission Report?
Are the ICC officials at the helm of the affairs beneficiaries of the match fixings of the IPL matches?
Is not the silence of the ICC on the huge IPL match fixings a crime of protecting a crime?
Why not ban the IPL which is a known and the biggest den of match fixing in the world?
IPL: Raina, Jadeja, Bravo were involved in bribing, alleges Lalit Modi
Posted by: Avinash Sharma | Sat, Jun 27, 2015, 21:40 [IST]
New Delhi, Jun 27: Controversial former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi has now alleged that two leading Indian cricketers and a West Indian player had been bribed by an Indian real estate tycoon, who is also a bookmaker. London-based Modi tweeted a letter he claims to have written to International Cricket Council (ICC) CEO Dave Richardson in June 2013, passing on “some information that I have just got.”
Modi has named 3 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) players Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo in his letter who he claims were in close contact with the real estate tycoon who was also named in the letter.
He told Richardson that he could pass the same to the anti-corruption and security unit of the ICC if he thought so fit. Modi stated that he had been informed by “reliable sources” that the tycoon had paid in cash and kind to the three players.
He concluded by saying that “I hope this is not true but if true it could mean more are involved.” OneIndia News (With inputs from agencies) Read more about: ipl|

Prime Minister’s Zarb-e-Azab..!
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
AoA.
Sir,
I take this opportunity to invite your kind attention, towards the press release issued by the PCB (published in the daily “Dawn” dated 13 June, 2015) on the findings (submitted on 4th April, 2015 i.e., well before the BD tour) of the World Cup-2015 debacle Review Committee (RC) of the PCB, which consisted of 80% or four PCB’s own personnel (M/s Shahryar Khan, Najam Sethi, Subhan Ahmad & Iqbal Qasim) and only 20% or ONE external member, Mr. Wasim Bari.
According to the above mentioned press release of the PCB, the RC found the following 5 reasons of the Pakistan’s downfall, at this years World Cup:
1. Poor fielding.
2. Low fitness.
3. Inconsistent selection.
4. Lack of positive approach.
5. Dearth of strategic thinking.
Furthermore, the RC held the following responsible for the Pakistan’s poor performance:
1. Players.
2. Coaches.
3. Selectors.
4. THOSE RUNNING AFFAIRS OF THE BOARD.
Mr. Prime Minister, Sir, there is no need to remind you that leaving aside the World Cup debacle, our nation was even more badly humiliated by the pathetic performance of our cricket team, during the recently concluded tour of the Bangladesh, which CLEARLY proved that either the people at the helm of the affairs of the PCB, were absolutely nincompoop; or they were NOT ready to learn any lessons from the World Cup debacle.
Now, a stage has come where the PCB has virtually turned into a torture giving and insult inflicting organisation, for the cricket loving masses of Pakistan; who can only vent their anger, by not calling your government with good names.
Sir, as a غیرت مند قوم we can digest defeats in sports field, but can never forgive and forget those responsible for bringing heaps of shame and humiliation, to the name and prestige of Pakistan.
Now, since the OWN Review Committee of the PCB has held responsible “THOSE RUNNING AFFAIRS OF THE BOARD” and after this verdict against their own-selves, the PCB top notches have not yet resigned, it is time for striking your Zarb-e-Azab, on the whole rotting edifice of the PCB.
You are requested to IMMEDIATELY dissolve the Board of Governors of the PCB; and please Mr. PM, this time, set an example of NOT APPOINTING as head of the ad-hoc PCB board, from amongst your RELATIVES or FRIENDS.
Rather, the new head of the PCB may be a VISIONARY person, who is ready to accept the challenge of turning (in one year) the PCB into a world class organisation.
This goal can be easily achieved by splitting the cricket board in two units of Administrative Affairs & Cricketing Affairs, headed by persons with the designations of Director General, who are known for their competence, integrity and honesty.
The new head of the PCB must only be appointed, when you are personally satisfied about his capabilities, after his one on one, interview with you.
The DG Cricketing Affairs must also be a legendary competent Pakistani cricketer.
Wishing you all the success in your endeavours to make Pakistan, the best of the best in the world.
Best Regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
Few out of box suggestions for Pakistan’s economic malaise..!
Many months ago in the year 2013, I passionately advised the PM to take personal charge of the affairs of the country, before these finance and foreign affairs advisors messed up the the whole thing and bring the government to its knees:
Mr. PM! you will have to take personal charge
H’able Mian Nawaz Sharif Sahab,
Salaam.
The above mentioned news reported today on 10 July, 2013, by the jang.com.pk that Saudi Arabia and UAE are providing (interest free and conditions free) cash and kind assistance of $8 billion to Egypt, further highlights the importance of my three doable suggestions put forward for your kind consideration in my article titled “Mr. PM! there are three options to avoid IMF loan”.published in the daily “The News” dated 27 June, 2013 links:-
http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-13-23752-Mr-PM!-There-are-three-options-to-avoid-IMF-loan
http://images.thenews.com.pk/27-06-2013/ethenews/t-23752.htm
In this regard, vide my email dated 9 July, 2013 addressed to your honour, titled “Few Suggestions to Revive Economy, Fast Track Improvements in Energy Crisis and Nation Security Policy” the possibility and practicability of option No.2, of my above mentioned article was duly elaborated for the convenience of your finance team as below:
Quote. “Your kind attention is invited to my earlier email informing that the news that Abu Dhabi has planned a $50 billion investment in India; and the negotiations are at a very advanced level. Abu Dhabi has the WORLDS BIGGEST SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND . Now considering the following plus points of Pakistan:
i. Pakistan is the only country in the world which allows foreign investors to repatriate 100% profit and investment without any hassle.
ii. There is no income tax on IPP’s in Pakistan.
iii. The Indians are severely annoying the Abu Dhabi people with objections on their deal of Etihad Air with Jet Airways of India, which will give EA rights over 37,000 weekly seats in India, after EA purchases 24% shares of Jet Airways. Pakistan must grab this opportunity and offer a suitable agreement with PIA. Indian Jet Airways is in much more bad financial shape than PIA and is owned PRIVATELY.
iv. Pakistan should also offer to Abu Dhabi, management sharing in other avenues like, Port Qasim, KPT, steel mills, OGDC, PNSC etc., in lieu of their investment.
v. Pakistan can also offer to Abu Dhabi to invest in new Islamabad Airport, expansion and development of other airports, helicopter and small planes air taxi service to and from big cities to many smaller cities and towns, and development and export of world class fisheries, corporate farming, export of dairy products, fruits, flowers etc.
vi. Abu Dhabi had a very long and successful JV experience with Pakistan viz., Pak Arab Fertilisers Limited. Now they can be offered such JV’s for Refineries, Oil and Gas explorations, defence related production items and air craft manufacturings etc.”Unquote.
Mr. Prime Minister, this news of cash and kind (interest free and conditions free) financial help of Egypt, by the KSA and UAE proves that Pakistan was deliberately forced to take IMF loan with very high repeat very high interest rate of 3%, coupled with conditionality’s. Further, it has also proved that we have completely failed in convincing our Arab friends and 49 NATO countries led by the USA, that helping Pakistan is helping the world and its neighbours, against the menace of terrorism, mainly because Pakistan is the front line state against this world war of terrorism, for the last 13 years. Our friends and allies should be cognisant of the fact that the more Pakistan goes into poverty and economic deprivation, the more this situation will breed the terrorists.
In view of the foregoing, Mr. Prime Minister, you are passionately requested to personally take the charge of the economic policies of Pakistan, vis-a-vis it’s friends, to save Pakistan from the stranglehold of IMF and the World Bank; and from the tunnel vision of our financial and foreign affairs experts. This is all the more necessary because business as usual will never deliver (like the lousy suggestions of increasing tax burden and enhancing utility services rates, so that the ages old policy of penalising the honest common man and rewarding rich scoundrels, continues in this tenure as well, which obviously is the best recipe of an early demise of ANY government).
Pakistan needs nothing, except out of box solutions, which is only possible from a fearless leader and not a timid person, because a timid person like Pervaiz Musharraf, can rule a country, but he can never rule the hearts of his subjects.
With Best Wishes and Kind Regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Make in India Vs Made in Pakistan
Mr. Modi you are striving for “make in India” just see below a glimpse of MADE IN PAKISTAN..!
MADE IN PAKISTAN: Pakistan’s contribution to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider, the largest and most complex experimental facility ever built, and the largest single machine in the world – situated at the underground CERN facility in Switzerland and France. Photo shows a high-rate Resistive Plate Chamber (RPC) installed in the LHC, which was designed jointly by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and the National Centre for Physics (NCP), Islamabad, and manufactured at the Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC), Taxila, Pakistan. Out of a total of 300 RPCs installed in the LHC, 245 (plus 43 spares) were manufactured in Pakistan. Pakistan won the contract for 288 RPCs by beating competitive bids from Chinese and Japanese firms, including Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The LHC is being used to trace the origins of the Universe and, in 2012, led to the discovery of the sub-atomic particle known as the Higgs-Boson, or the “God Particle”.
Pakistan’s existential crisis and demands of crisis management..!
Dear Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Sahab,
AoA.
Sir,
There is no doubt that currently Pakistan is fighting a full fledged proxy war on its soil, imposed by its enemies, since the last about 15 years.
In this regard, I still wonder how and who allowed India to strengthen its foothold in Afghanistan, despite a categorical statement of Mr. Pervaiz Musharraf, the then President of Pakistan that our cooperation with the NATO’s war on terror in Afghanistan was conditioned with “No role of India in NATO’s WOT in Afghanistan”.
Anyhow, by the Grace of Allah, we have successfully survived the nefarious designs of our arch enemies for a period, which is many years more than the combined duration of the two world wars.
However, since the official launch of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) India seems to be behaving like a mad dog and there were reports in social media that Indian authorities have even given go ahead to its agencies to arm their assets with small nuclear weapons, for use against Pakistan to disrupt the CPEC, detailed as below:
Under the circumstances we can easily say that India has not only declared a war against Pakistan, but it has allowed the launch of nuclear weapons (albeit through its paid agents), as per the timing of its own choice.
As such, although, we are fighting Indian sponsored guerrilla war against the terrorists, on our soil, yet, we should be fully prepared for Indian chemical, biological and nuclear attacks, launched by its proxies.
In this regard, I will request you to kindly take the following actions:
1. Take the whole nation in complete confidence by addressing a joint session of the parliament.
2. Form a war cabinet.
3. Inform all the international powers, the UNO and all our neighbours the genesis of the grave crisis and Pakistan’s expected responses (or its threshold/redlines) to specific threats in different scenarios.
4. Declare India as an enemy country and immediately ban any overflights to and for India by any airlines, along with cessation of all to and fro Indian goods movement to Afghanistan.
This step is necessary because Pakistan can not wait to be a sitting duck for an Indian conventional or non conventional weapons attack, using its proxies. In any war with WMD’s a comparatively small country like Pakistan must repeat must be proactive rather than reactive.
5. Initiate a training and education program for the whole nation, for protection and survival under nuclear, biological or chemical attack. Please do not forget that few years ago, Indian government has already launched such type of exercise in Indian held Kashmir.
6. Since, the new crisis demands a very high level of leadership, the historical facts about the best statesman of the 20th century, are a must read as following, for a man of crisis like you.
Churchill: Leader and Statesman
link:- http://www.winstonchurchill.org/the-life-of-churchill/life/churchill-leader-and-statesman
He was the lion who roared when the British Empire needed him most.
He held many positions during his long career and was an accomplished civil servant. Winston Churchill entered the Royal Military College of Sandhurst, and graduated with honors in December of 18941. He later saw action in Cuba, India, Egypt, Sudan, the front lines of World War I, and even took part in one of the last British cavalry charges in history2. When he turned twenty-five, Churchill was elected to Parliament, and began his career as a statesman in the House of Commons. He went on to serve as First Lord of the Admiralty, Minister of Munitions, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Prime Minster. In his private life, Winston Churchill was an avid reader and scholar, painter, author, journalist, and war correspondent. Historians widely attribute Churchill with being “the greatest statesman of the 20th century.” Churchill was an effective leader and statesman because of his tremendous ability to inspire people; his unique strategic insight; his relentless passion; and his imperturbable personality.
One of Winston Churchill’s chief attributes as a leader was his capability of inspiring people, regardless of seemingly ominous circumstances. The source of this inspiration was his own character. Churchill perpetually demonstrated enthusiasm, determination, and optimism—if not at all times in private, then at least always in public. One of Churchill’s private secretaries spoke of Churchill’s drive:
The effects of Churchill’s zeal was [sic] felt immediately in Whitehall. Government departments which under Neville Chamberlain had continued to work at much the same speed as in peacetime awoke to the realities of war. A sense of urgency was created in the course of very few days and respectable civil servants were actually to be seen running along the corridors. No delays were condoned; telephone switchboards quadrupled their efficiency; the Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Planning Staff were in almost constant session; regular office hours ceased to exist and weekends disappeared with them3.
Churchill’s ability to inspire may be seen in the opening days of World War II. He did not permit a defeatist attitude, nor would he entertain talk of reasonable terms with Adolf Hitler. As Sir Martin Gilbert, Churchill’s official biographer, wrote, “It was Churchill’s own opposition to all forms of defeatism that marked out the first six months of his war premiership and established the nature and pattern of his war leadership.”4 Another example of Churchill’s powers of inspiration was his ability to channel his determination to the British people, and generally strengthen their resolve through enthusiastic encouragement and praise to others. During the opening days of the war he said that, “The British people are like the sea. You can put the bucket in anywhere, and pull it up, and always find it salt.”5 Churchill inspired not only British leaders, but British citizens as well, by projecting an attitude of optimism and stalwart fortitude. Finally, Churchill’s robust optimism is excellently showcased in a speech he made in the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, when he spoke these famous words:
We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.6
Churchill’s words prompted the Labour MP Josiah Wedgwood to say, “That was worth 1,000 guns, and the speeches of 1,000 years.”7 Churchill’s potent spirit of perseverance and determination is best summed up in one of his own maxims: “We must just KBO.” The initials stood for “Keep Buggering On.”8 Churchill understood the dangers of defeatism and poor morale as a soldier and leader, so he set the example needed to inspire others around him… and he kept “buggering on.”
Winston Churchill was also an effective statesman and leader because he possessed the attribute of strategic foresight. An example of his keen intuition is found in the aftermath of the Munich Agreement. While Neville Chamberlain proclaimed that its policies of appeasement had brought, “peace in our time,” Winston Churchill complained of the terms. He declared that: a) nothing vital was at stake; b) Czechoslovakia could “have hardly got worse” terms in the agreement; and c) the agreement would ultimately not be successful in preserving Europe’s uneasy peace while the threat of Nazi Germany under Hitler still loomed.9 World War II would prove his intuition correct. Despite his misgivings, Churchill, “…never doubted that the Western Alliance would defeat Hitler and subsequently Japan,” and his vision was again clear.10 Another example that showcases Churchill’s strategic foresight is Communist Russia. Churchill had early misgivings about Russia, apart from the ones that he voiced in his famous “Iron Curtain” speech, where he spoke of an iron curtain settling on Eastern Europe. In 1931, Churchill declared in front of a large audience in Brooklyn, New York, that the great struggle of the future would be between English-speaking nations and communism.11 The Cold War would later prove his prophecy correct. A third example of Churchill’s strategic intuition is shown during his time as First Lord of the Admiralty starting in October 1911. Churchill summed up his approach to British naval power in these words:
Adequate preparation for war is the only guarantee for the preservation of the wealth, natural resources, and territory of the State, and it can only be based upon an understanding, firstly, of the probable dangers that may arise; secondly, of the best general method of meeting them as taught by the principles to be deduced from the events of history; and, thirdly, of the most efficient application of the war material of the era.12
Churchill applied this policy to his duties as First Lord of the Admiralty and set about thoroughly preparing Britain’s fleet for war. He also studied German naval progress, strength, and maneuvers. A mere four years later, World War I broke out, and thanks to Churchill’s wisdom, the British Navy was well prepared for battle. In summary, Churchill possessed exceptional strategic foresight, tempered with a healthy dose of realism. As one observer wrote, “Churchill had great foresight, but he knew the future is mostly unpredictable.” 13
While Winston Churchill’s foresight was a critical component of his leadership, there was another factor that elevated all of his talents to the forefront: his passion. Winston Churchill possessed a passion for democratic freedom that drove him to work hard for its preservation, allowing him to be an effective statesman and leader. Perhaps the best example of Churchill’s passion is found in some of the words that he used to inspire people and battle defeatism: “I am convinced that every man of you would rise up and tear me down from my place if I were for one moment to contemplate parley or surrender. If this long island story of ours is to last, let it end only when each one of us lies choking in his own blood on the ground.”14 Churchill’s passion fueled his desire to maximize the efficiency of Britain’s wartime government and bureaucracy. An excellent example of this efficiency is the structural organization that Churchill implemented in the English chain of command. Sir Martin Gilbert writes that:
The organization of his wartime premiership was a central feature of Churchill’s war leadership. That organization took several months to perfect, but from his first days as Prime Minister and Minister of Defense he worked to establish it, and to create in the immediate ambit of 10 Downing Street an organization that would give the nation strong and effective leadership.15
This organization was comprised of different councils, executives, committees, and boards. Each leader in charge of the respective agencies sat on an executive board chaired by Churchill called the Chief of Staff Committee. Once Churchill fine tuned this system, “…the highest possible accumulation of professional knowledge was at his disposal.”16 Churchill’s passion also produced innovation. For example, he prompted the invention of the tank. In order to break the deadlock of the “no-man’s land” of World War I, Churchill suggested that a type of heavy tractor with robust treads be produced from which men could fire machine guns and throw grenades from behind armor plating. This suggestion led to the production of the first tanks. Churchill’s service as a soldier also showcases his passion. During World War I, Churchill served on the frontlines in France as a major with the 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier Guards.17 Eventually, Churchill became the commander of the 6th Royal Scots Fusiliers, a battalion of the 9th Division.18 As a soldier, he possessed a steady, defiant courage, setting an excellent example for his men. When he left France in 1916, one Scotsman from under his command declared that, “I believe every man in the room [at a farewell lunch] felt Winston Churchill’s leaving us a real personal loss.” 19
The last component of Churchill’s remarkable formula for success was his imperturbable personality. Coupled with a dogged determination was a personality that was capable of exuding charm and wit, and that caused people to gravitate toward him. Churchill famously described himself in the following way: “We are all worms but I do believe I am a glow worm.” History shows that he did indeed glow. For example, he was able to maintain a poise in even the most stressful of times:
Churchill’s typists were also to find that, however bad his moods could be in dire moments of the war, he always had words of comfort for them and a ready smile-—his “beatific grin,” as Marian Holmes called it. “Don’t mind me,” he would say after an outburst, “it’s not you—it’s the war.” On one occasion, in November1944, finding Marian Holmes and her colleague Elizabeth Layton working in the Hawtrey Room and Chequers without a fire, he commented, “Oh, you poor things. You must light a fire and get your coats. It’s just as well I came in”— and he proceeded to light the fire himself, piling it high with logs.20
It may be said that Churchill’s personality was the result of a combination of different qualities that produced his witty charm. John B. Severance, a British author on Churchill writes that, “Lots of people have imagination, courage, and tenacity. Few people have them in the amount or combination that Churchill did.”21 Churchill used his unique charm and personality to encourage people to strive hard at their work and to excel in the jobs they were assigned. For example, people visibly displayed their affection for Churchill, as General Ismay recalled in an incident on Downing Street when a large group of people waited outside his private entrance to the Admiralty, and greeted him with cries of encouragement and good luck.22 Churchill’s poise was also displayed in his famous wit. One evening as a tired and wobbly Churchill was leaving the House of Commons, the Labour Member of Parliament Bessie Braddock accused him of being “disgustingly drunk.” He replied: “Bessie, my dear…you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.”23
World War II, however, is where Churchill’s personality shines the most. He tirelessly travelled to military positions and installations, conducting inspections, boosting morale, and supporting commanders. He also established a personal friendship with Franklin Delano Roosevelt and maintained strong relations and diplomatic ties with the American Government. Through it all, he was able to maintain a cool assurance of victory and instill confidence in everyone around him.
In conclusion, of all the qualities that Churchill displayed, perhaps the most interesting was his unexpected outbursts of humility. While Churchill’s power to inspire, his strategic foresight, his driving passion, and his unstoppable personality were the core qualities that made him an effective leader and statesman, the realization that he too was a “worm” tempered his character and kept him focused. His lifetime spanned not only the two World Wars of the 20th century but other conflicts, historic diplomatic meetings, and the onset of the Cold War. Winston Churchill led the British nation on two separate occasions as prime minister, in peace and in war, and on two separate occasions as First Lord of the Admiralty, both in the office and on the frontline. Yet, he steadfastly refused to take the credit. When cheered at the demise of Nazi Germany, he responded, “I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I inspired the nation. It was a nation and race dwelling all round that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.”

Lousy telecast..!
PCB must pull up the TV broadcaster of the ongoing Pakistan vs Zimbabwe cricket series; M/s Ten Sports, for immediately improving their extremely dud quality of telecast, by attending to the following deficiencies for the remaining 2 ODI matches:
1. Telecast is hazy and not looking sharp and crystal clear like the HD and Ultra HD telecast, which is already available with
Ten Sports HD channel.
2. These days showing of bowling speed is a must, but this essential item is missing in the Ten Sports telecast of our ongoing, all important series.
3. Also the distance of a sixer shot, must be shown as part of the graphics.
4. Overall graphics and the LBW mat are of very poor quality, giving minimum information and needs improvement in comparison with other sports channels.
5. Like other sports TV broadcasters, ball direction, bounce, spin revolutions must also be shown to the viewers in the graphics.
6. The standard of commentary also needs huge improvement.
7. Now a days, spider cam and umpires cam is also very common, which should also be available for the current series.
8. Last but not the least, the size of boundaries all around the pitch, must also be informed during the start of the commentary, preferably during the telecast of the pitch report, as was done during recently played matches telecasted from Bangladesh.
Re-structuring of the PCB – Few Proposals
Few proposals for the re-structuring of the PCB..!
As they say the proof of pudding is in the eating.
Let us evaluate only the ODI results since Mr. Najam Sethi and later on Mr. Shahryar Khan, took over the charge of the PCB:
1. Pakistan after losing all the matches, came last in the 8 nation champions trophy, played in the UK, in June-July 2013.
2. When Pakistani team visited Zimbabwe, it was defeated in an ODI and also in a Test match, in August 2013.
3. Pakistan lost the ODI Asian championship and in the T20 World Cup, for the first time we did not even play the semi finals in Dhaka, during February & March 2014.
4. Now, during the tenure of Mr. Shahryar Khan, we lost 2-1 to SL in SL, 3-0 to Australia & 3-2 to NZ in UAE. Went to NZ & lost 2-0 to its B team and then again 2-0 to NZ.
5. PCB deliberately kept under the carpet the review report of the World Cup debacle, submitted on 4 April, 2015.
6. The Chairman PCB, promised another review of the BD debacle, where we even lost to the B team of the BD, in the practise match and were throughly humiliated and consequently relegated to the 9th position, in the ODI team rankings and from 3rd to 6th position among the Test teams.
7. Now the chairman PCB is again silent over the Dhaka debacle and wants to bury the vital issues of the accountability of the three pillars of the edifice of the cricket i.e., the chief selector, captain and the coach.
8. The nation demands resignation of Mr. Haroon Rashid after his statement in a live TV program of Syed Yahya Hussani that he was responsible for the team’s performance in Bangladesh.
9. If Muhammad Sami is to be recalled for the T20 matches vs Zimbabwe, then why not also call back Saleem Jaffer, who is almost of the same age group? Moreover, the inclusion of Shoaib Malik in the T20 team (not even deserving to be in the Test team) proves beyond any shadow of a doubt, the intellectual bankruptcy of all the selectors, who instead of moving forward, are taking our cricket back to veterans era.
10. The chairman must take (for the sake of Pakistan) ruthless and surgical actions in the cricket administration of the PCB, against all the persons (including Mr. Misbah ul Haq) who are responsible for destroying our cricket since after the World Cup 2011, to the extent that we have started losing with consistency, against the B teams of NewZealand and Bangladesh.
11. The worry is not that we are losing against all and sundry. Rather, the point to ponder is that we have regularly started losing in 32-34 overs. Even we lost to Bangladesh in 39 overs. Moreover, our team very rarely bats full quota of 50 overs. We are the shameful holders of the world records for playing highest number of DOT balls, lowest score average of ALL teams in 1st 10 overs i.e., 39 runs and lowest score (14 runs) world record in 1st 10 overs.
All this proves that we are totally out of sync with the demands of the modern day cricket; and the entire cricketing experts in the PCB, are hell bent selecting old cricketers who can be much better off, playing golf very leisurely.
12. Under the circumstances, we should be ready for more humiliating defeats in the coming days, after the euphoria of the Zimbabwe tour is over.
13. If we can’t beat the Sri Lankan team in the tour of Sri Lanka, starting from 6th June, then it will be curtains for Pakistan’s participation, in the next champions trophy.
14. As such, the only way for improvement is ruthless accountability for all those directly and indirectly associated with the cricket in the PCB, including the person who allowed paid holidays for the chief selector (s) to the World Cup and then recently to Sri Lanka, on the pretext of witnessing the performance of Pakistan’s A team in Sri Lanka; which by the way was again a dismal story, because our expert selectors headed by the genius chief selector, selected players like Khurram Manzoor for the ODI team.
15. The PCB man who allowed the chief selector and another selector to do commentary in the recently held T20 domestic tournament, in clear violation of the rules of the CONFLICT OF INTEREST, should also be severely taken to task.
This rule is so much important that the Indian Supreme Court removed Mr. N. Srinivasan from the post of the president of the BCCI, just on the basis of conflict of interest.
16. Until and unless, the chairman PCB is willing for an internal overhaul, rather than the current policy of MITTI PAOO, nothing good should be expected, even from the Zimbabwe team’s tour to Pakistan.
17. In this regard, after abolishing the post of the COO, the PCB should be immediately restructured and divided in two areas of Cricket Affairs and Administration Affairs, each to be headed by a Director General.
18. The current COO should be re- designated as DG (Administration) with Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Administration & Logestics, Security and IT departments directly reporting to the DG (Administration).
19. The DG Cricket Affairs should look after all matters relating to the cricket development or Academies, domestic and international affairs, matters relating to the appointments of chief selector and selectors, coaches, team selection etc. DG (CA) should also look after all the domestic and international affairs of the women’s cricket.
The selection of DG (CA) should be decided on the following criteria:
a). Must be a man of impeccable integrity and honesty with spotless cricketing career.
b). Must be a renowned legendary cricketer of international repute.
c). Must have known international connections with officials of the ICC board members and international retired and playing cricketers.
d). Must be a communication expert.
e). Must posses a graduation degree, as a minimum educational qualification.
20. The authority of the chairman PCB to appoint the captains, should remain intact with the chairman PCB and the DG (CA) must be answerable to the chairman PCB for the achievement of the key performance indicators.
Modi government moving fast India & Pakistan towards an armegaddon..!
After the recent arrest by the Pakistani authorities of an Indian national RAW agent (who is actually a Hindu and Indian NAVY intelligence officer infiltrated in Pakistan as a disguised Muslim), the following two things are clear as daylight:
i. India is hell bent on dismemberment of Pakistan; and all its so called peace overtures, are just a ploy to gain time, for its nefarious designs to (God forbid) succeed.
ii. All so called attacks on the Indian soil by the miscreants entering from Pakistan, were Indian RAW engineered and orchestrated false flags, to keep Pakistan isolated internationally; and it will not be a surprise, if, the recently caught RAW Indian NAVY officer operating in Pakistan, will soon be coughing out the details, about the Mumbai attack, in which the Indian sponsored attackers entered India, from the sea side.
It is high time that Pakistan informs the entire world, specially, the five permanent security council members of the UNO; that the Indian government is playing with fire and has in fact, embarked upon an undeclared full fledged war against Pakistan. As such, Pakistan reserves the right to use all resources and assets available at its disposal, to counter this Indian offensive against Pakistan; and as a consequence, if, the world faces the armegaddon, it will be the outcome of the extremely severe Indian provocations, using Indian funded and sponsored insurgents, to attack our sensitive installations, schools, universities and parks killing hundreds of men, women, students and kids.
Pakistan must convey to its enemies the red lines for an all out counter attack without warning..!
The whole world knows from where these terrorists are launched and sponsored, who have killed more than 50,000 Pakistanis in the aftermath of the American invasion of Afghanistan.
However, after the brutal killings of about 45 unarmed and peaceful kids, women and men in a bus in Karachi on 13 May, 2015 one thing is absolutely clear that our known enemies will not refrain till either we surrender before them or we decide to fight fire with fire. In this regards, after the attack on Karachi airport I wrote on 9 June, 2014 quoted as below:
Quote.”This means clearly the use of nuclear and all weapons at our disposal, because we can’t sit idle and witness our own demise, without any punishment to the mischief mongers.”Unquote.

The video of AJIT DOVAL current Indian National Security advisor and former RAW man, specifically tells India’s defensive offensive strategy of spreading terrorism in Pakistan.

In fact, Daily Mail of London also reported that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told the Indian PM on his face, all he knew about RAW’s hands in the killings of about 150 kids in a School of Peshawar.

So, there should be no doubt about who is responsible for the killings of INNOCENT kids, men and women in Pakistan.
All these killings have a proven foot print and pattern of RAW’s style of terrorism.
In this regard, I have already written to Mr. Modi.

to not to provoke and push a nuclear Pakistan for any retaliatory action, which may turn the entire region to ashes, quoted as below:
Quote.”Also please inform all those military and political planners in your country, not in favour of genuine peace with Pakistan that low intensity war named as offensive defensive operations, or other covert hostile methods, are no more a long or short term options for, as well as, against; a nuclear power, which possesses more military nuclear arsenal (as reported today by Times of India) than India.
All such paradigms are out dated being a ZERO sum game, in the ultimate nuclear scenario. Such policy planners have no business to stay in the past non-nuclear status frame of mind; and they must develop a NEW and FRESH vision, to guide a major nuclear nation, like India.
Policy makers of nuclear powers must not have a mindset of a non nuclear state. And the foremost responsibility of these policy makers must be to ensure, at all costs, that under ALL circumstances, nuclear flare up or provocations under offensive defensive doctrine, MUST be ruled out: irrespective of the defined policy of no first use of nuclear weapons or retaliatory use of WMD’s.”Unquote.
According to a latest research study in Washington, if these two countries fought a nuclear war the whole region will cease to exist, quoted as below:
Quote. “Dr Khalid also noted that both India and Pakistan had more than 100 nuclear warheads, enough to destroy the entire region.
The two groups recently conducted a study, which showed that if a nuclear war broke out in this region, “both countries would cease to exist”.
The fallout would cause a famine that would go beyond the region and affect more than three billion people around the globe, the study claimed.” Unquote.

In view of the foregoing, it is high time that Pakistan convenes an urgent Security Council meeting of the UNO, to clearly inform the whole world: that from now onwards, Pakistan will not exercise any restraint (as it has got all the undeniable proofs of the Indian aggression) to safe guard its security, even if it leads to an Armageddon.
Support to survive..!
Survival in collective support..!

Charter of Pakistan. A Clarion Call for The Survival
October 29, 2010 at 6:38pm
The demand of Mian Nawaz Sharif for a charter of Pakistan is a clarion call. Now the time has come to separate the growth, development, eradication of poverty & security of Pakistan from politics forever.
All other stake holders in Pakistan must immediately come forward for deciding about the direction of the future of the nation. In this regard, I will suggest that, we should aim to bring Pakistan, to the level of Singapore of 2010, by the year 2030.
All politics & considerations should be made subservient to this target for 2030, even if we have to abolish weekly holidays for the next 20 years & reduce our daily sleeping time to 6 hours.
I am more than confident that by the dint of sheer hard work, sincerity & honesty which is imbibed in the bones of Pakistani work force, we can rebuild our country into the comity of 20 developed nations of the world, in the next 15-20 years.
For the benefit of the general public, It will not be out of place to reproduce below my proposal to all the politicians submitted on 13 August, 2010 under the title ” An Excellent Opportunity for the Politicians ”
An Excellent Opportunity for the Politicians by Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad on Friday, August 13, 2010 at 5:54pm.
“Had Pakistan built some large dams in the wasted 10 years of Musharraf era, today the impact of floods would have been on a much reduced scale. These floods are an eye opener for those myopic politicians, who can’t see beyond their nose.
Today (13 August, 2010), Pakistan is economically standing, even behind the stage of 14th August 1947, where foreign exchange reserves are USD 15 billions against loans of about USD 60 billions.
We always crib that dictators had no vision & they did nothing for the long term benefit of Pakistan. Now we must turn this crisis into an opportunity, by planning for at least 100 years ahead.
The Prime Minister must immediately activate the parliament along with all the out of parliament forces, to jointly sit and agree on a 100 years growth and development vision for Pakistan. This vision should be divided into 20 five years plans on which all the politicians should agree.
This planning will give a clear direction to the nation and also save the time and energy of the incumbent and ensuing political governments in useless debates of which dam or project is in the national interest, or against it.
It must also be remembered that changing environmental conditions, are going to be the biggest challenge in very near future, for countries like Pakistan. And let there be no mistake that areas spared by floods this time may always be safe. The future environmental calamities may even be on a much larger scale, engulfing more than one nation. What recently happened in LEH (IOK), should be an eye opener for the entire SAARC countries.
So any future planning, must also be in coordination with and take care of the interests of the neighbouring nations, because no single country has the capacity to survive the adversities of the nature, alone.”
Vision for a smart Pakistan..!
Making Pakistan first smart country of the world..!
Dear Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister of Pakistan, just to inform you that the Indian Prime Miniater Mr. Narendra Modi is taking India to another era of world’s latest smart city concept, which according to one definition is “A developed urban area that creates sustainable economic development and high quality of life by excelling in multiple key areas; economy, mobility, environment, people, living, and government. Excelling in these key areas can be done so through strong human capital, social capital, and/or ICT infrastructure.”
What are your government’s plans on making ALL cities of Pakistan as smart cities (not just Islamabad)?
It is suggested that world renowned IT personality Mr. Umar Saif, Chairman PITB & VC ITU Lahore, should be appointed your Advisor or Special Assistant with specific duties to make entire Pakistan, as the 1st smart COUNTRY of the world.
Moreover, also please peruse the NDTV’s today’s Tweet “Indian Cabinet likely to clear ‘smart city mission’ for 100 cities and ‘urban rejuvenation mission’ for 500 cities today, say sources”
