KARACHI: The players participating in the ongoing Faysal Bank Super Eight T20 have blasted the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over a meagre daily allowance which has forced them to fulfill their daily needs from their own pockets.
All the teams participating in the event are being boarded at Serena Hotel in Faisalabad, which is very expensive, and the players are not impressed by PCB’s planning as they are being paid just Rs 750 daily.
“We can’t even afford proper refreshment from the daily allowance we are getting because if we order tea twice a day, it costs us Rs 700-800. Having lunch or dinner is out of question,” a Multan Tigers...

SYDNEY, June 28 (Reuters) - Former test wicketkeeper Steve Rixon has been appointed Australia's new fielding coach and promised to set new standards for a country which has lost its reputation as the world's best in that department. Rixon, who played 13 tests and six one-dayers for Australia in the late 1970s and early 1980s before going on to coach New Zealand and New South Wales, will accompany the team on tours of Sri Lanka and South Africa over the next six months. Once one of their greatest strengths, the decline in Australia's fielding standards contributed to their humiliating Ashes defeat at the turn of the year. ...

Calcutta: Having signed its own death warrant, so to say, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is scrambling to take back its signature before the warrant is executed. Monday, indeed, saw dramatic happenings in Hong Kong, which is hosting the International Cricket Council (ICC)’s Annual Conference Week. Officially, the most talked about development was on the umpire Decision Review System front, with a hitherto stubborn India falling in line with the wishes of the fraternity. Unofficially, the BCB took centre stage, once word got around that it was having “second thoughts” on agreeing to amend the ICC’s constitution...

Karachi: Neither retired nor planning to take up coaching once that happens, but that has not stopped Pakistan's senior batsman Younis Khan from completing a level two coaching course at the National Cricket Academy. Before this course, Younis has also completed a level one coaching course conducted by the PCB.

England's new one-day skipper, Alastair Cook, is confident he has what it takes to succeed in the limited-overs arena despite being labelled a 'plodder'.
Cook, a prolific run-getter at Test level, has often been accused of lacking the attacking game to thrive at the top of the order for England in 50-over contests. The Essex man's record in ODI's leaves a bit to be desired, having notched up an average of 33 at a strike rate of 71.38 in his...

Expectedly or not, the old diseases have come back to haunt again. The all too familiar collapse and the sheer inability to wrap up the tail after you have the opposition right on the mat. For the first time in this tour and much to the relief of the host team, the matches swim across to Antigua from the “Indian” Trinidad, or that’s how the hosts would want to refer to and why not. Rank turners, massive crowd support (if any) and 3 games into the tour unbeaten and this is not what a host nation would expect, leave alone wanting it, save for the groundsmen.
