The best feature of time is that it changes.

So, it looks like Babar Azam and Naseem Shah are skipping the National T20 Cup this year, even though they were expected to play. This comes after they were both dropped from the T20I team for the New Zealand series. You’d think this domestic cup would be their shot at getting back on the team. Word is that they’re sitting this one out because they have a packed schedule coming up. Pakistan has the ODIs against New Zealand, and then the Pakistan Super League (PSL) is kicking off next month. Mohammad Rizwan was also dropped from the T20I team and…

So, Rahul Dravid, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) coach, hurt his leg playing in a local cricket game for Vijaya Cricket Club back in February. The team announced it on social media, saying he’d be at their pre-IPL 2025 camp in Jaipur on Wednesday. Fans were pretty surprised to see Dravid playing in that local match with his son, Anvay. Dravid Sr. scored 10 runs, while Anvay hit 58 runs. Vijaya ended up with 345 runs against Young Lions Club. Not sure if that’s where Rahul got injured, but… The Royals posted on social media: Coach Rahul Dravid is doing fine…

Mickey Arthur, Pakistan’s old head coach, really enjoyed it when Jason Gillespie called Aaqib Javed a ‘clown’ on social media. Javed had blamed Pakistan’s cricket problems on too many coaching changes. Javed is now Pakistan’s interim head coach, stepping in after Gillespie left. Gillespie wasn’t supposed to be the white-ball coach anyway; actually, he took the job when Gary Kirsten quit. After Pakistan was knocked out of the Champions Trophy 2025, Javed told the press that the reason was that the team had seen 16 coaches and 26 selectors in just two and a half years. Gillespie responded by accusing…
