The matches are between Afghanistan and Pakistan which were to be played in Sri-lanka but now shifted to Pakistan. The venue (city) is not decided yet.

Sri Lanka is currently witnessing a huge spike in new cases of COVID 19, and therefore this was expected (the government there just announced a complete lockdown for 10 days, which may be extended further). At least compared to this, Pakistan seems to be faring much better. I don't know whether Afghanistan will be able to put up a good fight. The players are also impacted by the civil unrest and even the IPL stars are saying that they are worried about family members back home.

JUST NOW: Pakistan will host Afghanistan's upcoming one-day international series, that originally scheduled to be held in Sri Lanka. I think this is a great development for the Pakistan team and the Afghanistan team. The two countries have never played a bilateral series before.

I haven't got this news yet. Can you share the source for this please ?
So the series will be between Pakistan Vs Afghanistan or is it between Sri Lanka Vs Afghanistan ?

Whatever will be case, we know that this region (Pak, India, Sri, Ban and now AFG) always produce some quality cricketers and i hope Afghanistan will become another big cricketing Asian Country.

The step taken forward by Pakistan is really big. There is talks about Pakistan is the one to support Taliban. Same time Pakistan supporting Afghanistan to host the upcoming one day international series is truly controversial. Some way Pakistan is making the sports development of Afghanistan continue without any interruption.

^^^ It is good that a former captain is appointed as the chairman of PCB. In India also, Sourav Ganguly was recently appointed as the president of the BCCI. These former players are more knowledgeable than the businessmen about various issues faced by the players. Ganguly was instrumental in removing BCCI's opposition to including cricket in the Olympics. Similarly, I believe that Rameez will also make revolutionary changes to cricket in Pakistan. First of all, they need a complete revamp of the domestic tournament.

I have some insider news that Ramiz Raja will be appointed as the chairman of the cricket board and we may hear this decision by today.

Being Part of the 1992 World Cup Winner and one of the renowned commentator of recent times, I think it will bring a new revival in the team.

Good Luck Captian & Team Pakistan !!!

^^^ Not a fan of the NFTs. I always thought that it is just another way to scam unsuspecting cryptocurrency investors and in this particular case that seems to be precisely what is happening. It would be interesting to know how much of the profits will be going to Rario and how much the players are expected to receive. If the players (or at least the national cricket board) get at least 50% of the proceedings, then I am OK with it. On the other hand if the proceedings mostly go to the corporate and they distribute some crumbs to the players, then this should not be supported.

@Vishnu.Reang you have raised a very important question about revshare, but I feel player’s won’t be complaining much because this is additional income they never had in the first place. Furthermore I doubt the player’s would be getting 50%, my best guest would be around 30% anything more than it would be pure bonus for them.

Unless any of the articles mention the absolute percentage, I would not trust these figures. As far as the players are concerned, they will charge Rario what they usually charge for brand endorsements. And for the retired players and the women's players, this amount may be really low. And I will not be surprised even if their share is less than 10% of the total amount. Now it is up to the respective boards and the ICC to decide whether they should allow this. IMO, they should not. If NFTs need to be listed, then ICC can directly due that, rather than passing to Rario.

Reading the news on the topic of cryptocurrencies, I found an interesting article on the topic. Again, the trend is now fashionable NFT.

World’s First Cricket-Based NFTs Launching Ahead of T20 World Cup

World’s First Cricket-Based NFTs Launching Ahead of T20 World Cup
Indian tech startup Rario is set to launch the world’s first cricket-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on August 15, well ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup scheduled for October-November.
Subcontinental business website The Economic Times reports that Rario has already secured the Lanka Premier League Twenty20 competition as a partner and is in negotiations with three more major leagues.
Rario claims it has initially signed male and female players from India, South Africa and Bangladesh to offer their digital collectibles to fans. Big names cited include former India fast bowler and official Rario ambassador Zaheer Khan, South African batsmen AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis, plus Smriti Mandhana, a star of India’s women’s team.......

I think if England sends a second-tier team against Bangladesh, they will win. The Bangladesh team is not in a good position now. Moreover, playing in the IPL is more effective than playing a series against a team like Bangladesh before the next T20 World Cup. The series against Bangladesh will be one-sided, on the other hand, they will get a lot of money in IPL and also get a chance to play with all the best players in the world.

England has the depth in player pool, so they don't need to worry much about the unavailability of the key players. And Bangladesh is not in a good state right now, due to internal issues. We don't have the exact schedule available yet, but it looks like the series between England and Bangladesh (3 T20I matches and 3 ODI matches) will be played after the T20 World Cup. The term used by the ECB is "postponed indefinitely". And it is not just because of the IPL. The COVID 19 situation in Bangladesh also might have contributed.

England tour of Bangladesh has been postponed indefinitely, but they have scheduled to play three ODIs against Bangladesh as part of the ICC ODI Super League. By postponing the tour, English players can compete in the IPL tournament when it resumes on September 19. The English players will have the opportunity to practice their skills in this franchise tournament instead of the international tournament.

Initially the England players were saying that they will not be participating in the second phase of the IPL. I guess they changed their mind now. In an economic sense, it is ridiculous not to participate in the IPL, since the salaries are 5-10 times of what they get in any other league. Also, the full strength England side is not needed to achieve a series win against Bangladesh. Given their current form, Bangladesh is no match for England. They even struggled to defeat Zimbabwe a few weeks ago.

What is the reason for the tour to be postponed, is this the pandemic or any other reason to call off the tour. The 100 is going on and they are getting more exposure and they might be thinking that the IPL will be giving them the required practice before the World Cup, not sure what their schedule is but they need to play matches as a team before going into the World Cup if they want to be competitive.

I assume it is due to the pandemic as cases are increasing in Bangladesh too. IPL has been shifted from India to UAE where the cases are very few. Australia and England are cancelling matches because of the Pandemic issue in south asian countries. IPL will also help English players to prepare for the upcoming T20 world cup.

I think it soo. BCCI have more talented player than Hardik and Krunal. Hardik and Krunal are good players, but since they have not been able to help the national team win matches for a long time, the BCCI should keep them out of the team for a few series. Let them work hard, if they can build themselves up, they will get a chance in the Indian team again. When India has enough talented players, there is no point in giving a chance to a formless player for a long time.

True. Even if they are the best players available, the main purpose of the series with Sri Lanka was to give more opportunities for the youngsters. And I really don't know why Hardik kept playing, despite not fully recovering from the injury. Was he paranoid that someone else will steal his slot from the national squad? If that is the case, then his thinking is wrong. Good players don't lose their slots, even if they stay away from the game for a couple of months. Anyway, now the T20 series is finished and only the test series with England remains before the IPL.

No wonder there is no serious measure by the BCCI for breaching the bio bubble, having a political connection will go a long way to get away with things and may be get selected in teams without much issues with their connections. No wonder why Hardik Pandey was included in some of the tours even though he was injured, i am just speculating now about the whole situation Cheesy

.

Hardik Pandya should have been kicked out of the team long back. He hasn't performed either with the bat, or the ball for a long time. And when it comes to Krunal Pandya, I don't understand why he's in the team. There are a lot of promising youngsters who are not getting any opportunity to represent India, but these two seems to be permanent fixtures in the national team. The selection policy is a sham. No one is complaining right now, because India has performed exceptionally well in the recent past and we don't want to change the status quo.
