Babar Azam step down as captain from all three formats and guess who has replaced him as captain? Shaheen Afridi will captain Pakistan in T20 while Shan Masood will captain Pakistan in Test format. Shaheen shah has a strong lobby in PCB who is backed by his father in law Shahid Afridi. Despte his poor performance in ODI World Cup he has given the role of captaincy in T20 format. Shan Masood who was not even part of Pakistan test team is now included as captain.

I am not sure what good this can do to the Pakistani team. He will be replaced by whom? The most prominent name that I am hearing is that of Shaheen Shah Afridi, but I am quite skeptical about his role as the captain. Even as an opening bowler, there have been numerous occasions when he crumbled under pressure. I would rather go with someone with a bit more maturity, such as Fakhar Zaman or Mohammad Rizwan. At least I would prefer a batsman rather than one of the bowlers. Shaheen Shah needs more time to learn maturity.

Today match, Afghanistan team won toss and chose to bat first in the pitch. Afghanistan performance was very bad in today match. They just scored 197 runs in 44 overs by losing 7 wickets. This target was not small for South Africa team. In past games, South Africa team gave a vet big target to opposite team and also chase down huge target. That's why, they are in 2 Nd position in points table. A Omarzai performance from Afghanistan teams was brilliant and this single batsman scored a good runs and still not dismissed. A Omarzai scored 68 runs from 90 balls with six 4s and one 6s in today game. South Africa team also is in full form in today game, now let's see how they will perform in batting lineup because bowling lineup performance was outstanding.

A big scandal has been uncovered in France:

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-to-investigate-claims-of-fake-cricket-games-in-france-1408020

The coach of one of the local cricket clubs is claiming that most of the clubs in France fake cricket matches involving women's teams. No actual games take place, but the clubs just create scoreboards out of nowhere and post them online. This is necessitated by the fact that clubs without women's and junior squads receive only a fraction of funding when compared to the clubs who have these teams. France24 was the first media outlet to report this issue.

There is an article in Forbes, that examines the growth of cricket in associate nations w.r.t the wins from Afghanistan and Netherlands so far in the ODI World Cup.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tristanlavalette/2023/10/18/netherlands-world-cup-success-underlines-growth-in-smaller-cricket-nations/?sh=2dbcc9df2d41

The article examines the real reason why the ICC decided to scrap ODI Super League from next cycle onwards (some of the full member nations obviously wanted no "restriction" on whom they should face).

Sri Lanka played very badly due to which they lost the match.

Sri Lanka lost the match at the toss when they choose to field after winning the toss, Sri Lanka started well picking up Rohit Sharma and then they dropped catches which help India and then they were able to built partnership and set a huge total and in reply the Indian bowlers were brilliant and some of the deliveries were unplayable to any batsman and India qualified for the semi finals with ease.

In 33th match ,Bumrah out Sri Lanka's first batsman. India second bowler dismissed Sri Lanka in the first ball of the second over. It was the second major win for India. On the very next ball, Siraj got out again. And it was a huge win for India as they conceded two runs in an over.Siraj made two out in his over. Sri Lanka scored 15 runs in 10 overs And six were out.Shami out the Sri Lankan batsman very smartly. Here all Sri Lanka's hopes were dashed and India beat them very easily. The Sri Lankan batsmen did not play the match smartly. Sri Lankan batsmen scored 49 runs in 18 overs. Sri Lanka played very badly due to which they lost the match.

Here is an article on Olympic inclusion of cricket from an associate viewpoint:

https://www.aljazeera.com/sports/2023/10/23/india-cricket-la-2028-olympics-inclusion-minnows-game-changer

The ICC wants to restrict Olympic cricket tournament to be a 6-team affair, that would leave out the weaker test nations and all of the associate nations. But IOC hasn't yet agreed to their proposals. BTW Daily Telegraph has reported that the IOC can earn as much as $250 million in revenues from selling media rights for the cricket tournament in 2028 Olympics.

^^^ Is it even allowed to take a political stance in the ICC tournaments? And what has the war between Israel and Palestine has to do with cricket? If Pakistan is supporting Hamas, then there may be other countries who support Israel. For example, England is one of the participating nations and they have sent military aid to Israel. What if they conduct a prayer meet at the ground and then tweet in support of Israel? My advice is that let's keep politics away from cricket. If different teams and players start fighting over politics, then in the end sports is going to suffer.

ICC is very strict in political matters, so the incident of Md. Rizwan was viewed strictly by ICC. But here Mohammad Rizwan made a big mistake but it is not like that. The kind of torture that goes on in Gaza and the kind of brutality that Israel perpetrates will shake anyone's tender heart. You must have seen the videos of children being attacked by marijuana where a large number of children are losing their lives and this is happening on a regular basis. Whether you are a Muslim or you belong to any other religion is not a big deal for you, you are a human being that is your identity. Mohammad Rizwan's tweet about this torture and brutality may not stop the war or have any major impact in this war but he expressed his bad feeling as a human being through social media.

Pakistan vs South Africa

In 26th match, Pakistan won toss and elected to bat first in pitch against South Africa team. If we see performance of past matches of Pakistan team the they disappointed their fans and now they lost four matches and won only two matches. If their performance continue like this then they will not qualify in semi final match. In today match, they gave 270 runs target which is normal target not a tough target. But in bowling side, their performance was little bit better than batting side. they gave a trouble time to South Africa because South Africa won this match by only one wickets with 16 balls. Performance of Q.de Kock was not outstanding in this match. He scored only 24 runs in 14 balls and he hitted five 4s. He is in the top #1 in player stats because he made brilliant centuries in old matches.

Pakistan should choose to bowling after winning the toss,because the chasing was the easier one in the Chennai stadium.It was the first blunder of the Pakistan team.The Pakistan had taken nearly 9 wickets in the second half,So the last wicket had played the magic game today.This was treat to the fans of Chepauk stadium and it was the nail biting game today.This match is not the important to the South Africa,Since they already in the second position.With the victory of today game,the South Africa had reached the top of the table.Since their was huge balls left at the end,the Pakistan was failed to take the last wicket till the end.

Just wanted to share an emotional event in this world cup.

Rizwan attended prayer on the ground during the match and he prayed during the water break. He did this all in the match of Pakistan vs Netherlands and when the match was played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan so Rizwan hit a century and when the match was over then Rizwan tweeted this century goes to our brothers and sisters of Gaza, which means Rizwan gave their performance to Palestine, and then the media of India say that this is not good, remove Rizwan from this World Cup and other such things. Then Vineet Jindal was the lower of India and he caused to Rizwan because of prayer and ICC didn’t take any action, and then media criticised to Rizwan and other players of the Pakistan cricket team tweeted that we stand with Palestine.

Maybe it's related to time? T-20 does take 4-5 hours sometimes so it does affect the budget then there are stuff like DRS etc. Tbh, I find all arguments odd.

It clearly feels like there are a lot of compromises already, which is very uncharacteristic of the IOC. They are literally agreeing to everything ICC's demands

When cricket was first introduced to Commonwealth Games (in 1998), it was a 16-team competition. And this year we had the Asian Games Cricket Competition, which had 14 participants (and it got over in 10 days). A 6-team competition would make sense if a proper qualifying system is in place. But directly selecting 6 participants and dividing three medals among them is not something I can agree with. Football is more popular than cricket and FIFA is much more powerful than the ICC. If FIFA agrees to an Olympic qualifier and 16-team tournament, then what is the issue with ICC?

^^ I came across Sports Tak's (Guess it's related to Aaj Tak) Journalist commentary on it, not Vikrant but another senior journalist (don't know his name). It's a famous sports Youtube channel in India so there might be some truth to it.

- 5-6 participants because they don't want to increase the budget as hosting multiple team tournaments is expensive.
- There might be some relaxation on the 23-year age restriction rule for every team, there is a possibility of full strength team participation but it obviously depends on the individual cricket boards.
- No qualification atm and it will depend on the ICC cut off ranking system (Top-6)

The first argument is laughable. First of all, the budget comes from IOC and not from the ICC. And none of the team sports in the Olympics have 6 participants. Dividing three medals between 6 countries (and that too with direct entry for all the participants) doesn't bode well. For comparison Basketball, Field hockey, Handball, Rugby and Volleyball events had 12 teams each, while Football tournament had 16 participants. And none of these events had the direct entry system. There was an Olympic qualifier in place for each of these events.

Sachin Tendulkar has commented in Twitter about the inclusion of cricket in Olympics:

https://twitter.com/sachin_rt/status/1713866155885256800

Quote

After a wait of more than a century, our beloved sport is back on the Olympic stage at @LA28. This marks the dawn of a new era for cricket as it will be a golden opportunity to foster inclusivity and showcase new talent from emerging cricketing nations. A start of something truly special!

I am still confused about the number of participants and qualifying system. The ICC wants a 6-team tournament, with no qualifying tournament (they want teams to be selected from the ICC ranking instead). The IOC is definitely not going to agree to this and in the end two sides need to come down to a compromise solution. Anyway, one plus point is that since cricket is now an Olympic sport, many of the national cricket boards in associate nations such as China, Russia and Iran now becomes eligible for increased funding from the government.
