Former Pakistan cricketer Sana Mir was trolled for referring to ‘Azad ****’ during World Cup commentary. She clarified her intent, calling it a misinterpretation.

Sana Mir faces backlash for ‘Azad *****’ remark during Women’s World Cup commentary

Former Pakistan cricketer Sana Mir was trolled for referring to &lsquo;Azad ****&rsquo; during World Cup commentary. She clarified her intent, calling it a misinterpretation.

Former Pakistan captain Sana Mir came under fire on social media after she referred to a player&rsquo;s hometown as &ldquo;Azad ****&rdquo; during commentary in the ICC Women&rsquo;s Cricket World Cup match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Colombo.&nbsp;
The remark sparked a wave of criticism online, with several users accusing her of pushing a political narrative.
Responding to the controversy, Mir took to her official X handle to clarify her stance. She called it &ldquo;unfortunate&rdquo; that &ldquo;things are being blown out of proportion and people in sports are being subjected to unnecessary pressure.&rdquo; Mir added, &ldquo;There is no malice in my heart or any intention to hurt sentiments.&rdquo;
She explained that her intention was only to highlight the challenges faced by Pakistan batter Natalia Pervaiz, who hails from the region, and to share her journey as part of storytelling in sports commentary.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
&ldquo;It is sad that this requires an explanation at public level. My comment about a Pakistan player's hometown was only meant to highlight the challenges she faced of coming from a certain region in Pakistan and her incredible journey. It is part of the story telling we do as commentators as where the players come from. I did that today for two other players coming from other regions, too. Please don't politicise it. As a commentator on the World Feed, we are meant to focus on the sport, teams, and players, highlighting inspiring stories of grit and perseverance. There is no malice in my heart or any intention to hurt sentiments. I am also attaching the screen shot of where I research most of my players from, whether from Pakistan or any other country. I realise that they have changed it by now, but this is what I was referring to,&rdquo; she posted.
The incident occurred when Natalia Pervaiz came to bat. During commentary, Mir was heard saying, &ldquo;...Captaining a very young side. Yes, they have won the qualifiers, but a lot of these players are new. Natalia who comes from ****, Azad ****, plays in Lahore a lot of cricket. She has to come to Lahore to play most of her cricket there.&rdquo;
The clip went viral and quickly drew angry reactions from fans, with some tagging the ICC and BCCI, demanding Mir&rsquo;s removal from the commentary panel. The Women&rsquo;s World Cup is being played under a hybrid model, with Pakistan&rsquo;s matches scheduled in Colombo despite the tournament being hosted in India.
As for the match itself, Bangladesh dominated with the ball, dismissing Pakistan for 129 in 38.3 overs. Shorna Akter starred with figures of 3/5 in 3.3 overs, while Rameen Shamim (23) and skipper Fatima Sana (22) were the only batters to cross 20 runs. In reply, Rubya Haider guided Bangladesh to victory with a fluent 54 off 77 balls, securing a seven-wicket win with 113 balls to spare.
India will face Pakistan in a high-voltage encounter in Colombo on Sunday.

Apart from them, South Africa's Quinton de Kock, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and spinner Adam Zampa and Sri Lanka fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka were also part of the team.

ICC name Cricket World Cup 2023 Team of the Tournament; pick 6 Indian players

Team India might not have won the World Cup but the International Cricket Council (ICC) picked 6 Indians in its Team of the Tournament.

Apart from them, South Africa's Quinton de Kock, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and spinner Adam Zampa and Sri Lanka fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka were also part of the team.

Team India might not have won the World Cup but the International Cricket Council (ICC) picked 6 Indians in its Team of the Tournament.
Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami were included in the team.
Apart from them, South Africa's Quinton de Kock, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell, Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell and spinner Adam Zampa and Sri Lanka fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka were also part of the team.
South Africa's Gerald Coetzee was named as the 12th man in the team.
While Virat Kohli finished as the highest run-getter of the tournament, Mohammed Shami ended the World Cup as the leading wicket-taker.
Despite that and being on a 10-match winning run, Rohit's men faltered at the final hurdle and were handed a 6-wicket defeat by Australia in the ultimate showdown.

Captain Rohit wants his co-journeymen to fasten their seatbelts, keep their emotions in check and do exactly what they have been doing for the past six weeks.

Cricket World Cup: Dreamt of this day but need to keep emotions aside, says Rohit ahead of IND vs AUS

Rohit Sharma won’t be able to tell what 10 others who will take the field with him on the biggest sporting day of their lives are feeling from inside.

Captain Rohit wants his co-journeymen to fasten their seatbelts, keep their emotions in check and do exactly what they have been doing for the past six weeks.

Rohit Sharma won&rsquo;t be able to tell what 10 others who will take the field with him on the biggest sporting day of their lives are feeling from inside.
But on the eve of the all-or-nothing World Cup final against Australia, &lsquo;Captain Rohit&rsquo; wants his co-journeymen to fasten their seatbelts, keep emotions in check and do exactly what they have been doing for the past six weeks.
&ldquo;See, emotionally it's a big thing, a big occasion. Without a doubt, because whatever hard work and dreams you have, you have for this. And tomorrow, that day will be in front of us,&rdquo; Rohit said ahead of possibly the biggest day of his career.
&ldquo;But see, the biggest challenge for professional athletes is how you can put all this aside and focus on their work. So along with me, all the other 10 players who will play on the ground tomorrow, their focus will be more on their work for the team, rather than thinking about, this is the biggest moment of my life,&rdquo; the skipper said in his effervescent but matter of fact manner.
He admitted that it is easier said than done as the sub-conscious mind plays its role.
&ldquo;Of course, it is (the biggest day). There is no doubt. Back of the mind it will be there. You can't hide from that. But it's really important to remain calm in such situations because if you are calm and composed, then you can play your role as a team well. You can make good decisions in the pressure situation," he said.
For 90s kids, it was all about the 50-over World Cup and Rohit is no different.
&ldquo;For me, this is the biggest event -- the 50-over World Cup. Since childhood, I've grown up watching the 50-over World Cup. So, for me, this is the biggest moment. But I know that I have to focus on what my team needs me to do. I want to put aside everything else for a The skipper&rsquo;s advice is always well-received but he will be the first one to tell you that he doesn&rsquo;t know what kind of storm is going inside each of them.
&ldquo;Inside, what they feel, I can't tell you because I'm not spending 24 hours with them. So, I don't know how each individual will be feeling,&rdquo; that was typical Rohit reply when asked if his players are able to keep calm.
But he knew one thing -- the pressure is constant.
&ldquo;I said, being an Indian cricketer, you have to deal with pressure. It's going to be constant. Today we are playing, tomorrow someone else will play, the day after someone else will play. They have to deal with these kinds of pressure, criticism, and everything,&rdquo; he said.
'Some are calm, some are tensed' Rohit had said in Chennai before India's first game against the Aussies that it would be nice to win a World Cup. The stakes are completely different after 41 days but he wants to keep his balance intact.
&ldquo;A nice, balanced atmosphere and balanced thinking at this stage will be really nice. It's just not from me. I can sense that from every other player as well in the changing room,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;You know there's a laugh going around in the changing room, there's a bit of tense faces as well. I'm not going to hide that but that's normal. That is why this sport is so exciting because you see all different kinds of emotions,&rdquo; he concluded.&nbsp;

<h2>5-time Champions Australia qualified for a record-extending 8th Cricket World Cup final, where they will face hosts India on Sunday.</h2>

Australia reached their record-extending 8th World Cup final after clinching a thrilling 3-wicket win over South Africa in the second semifinal. The 5-time Champions will now face hosts India for the coveted trophy on Sunday.
Who&rsquo;d have thought that a first innings total of 212 would produce a thrilling tie? But that&rsquo;s what exactly happened at the Eden Gardens.
Having won the toss and opted to bat, SA were rocked early, losing 4 wickets for just 24 runs on the board. However, a 95-run partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller rescued some momentum for the Proteas.
Even as wickets fell at the other end, David Miller played a brilliant hand, becoming the first South African batter to hit a hundred in World Cup knockouts as Proteas stumbled to 212.
The Aussies started off with bang, a 60-run opening partnership in 6 overs. However, South Africa clawed their way back with quick wickets.
Travis Head&rsquo;s departure for 62 further provided an opening and even as wickets fell at regular intervals, Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins held their nerves to eke out a tense 3-wicket finish.

Hours before India's highly anticipated semi-final at the Wankhede, reports emerged that the Indian cricket team management had sought a "slow pitch" for the game.

The legendary Sunil Gavaskar dismissed conspiracy theories around the pitch for the World Cup semifinal between India and New Zealand, asking the "morons" to shut up and stop taking potshots at the hosts.
India reached the final with a 70-run win over New Zealand.
Hours before India's highly anticipated semi-final at the Wankhede, reports emerged that the Indian cricket team management has sought a "slow pitch" for the game.
According to a report, a fresh pitch was originally planned for the first semifinal but later a "used" surface was used to assist the home team's spinners, leading to pitch alteration.
Interestingly, it was pacer Mohammed Shami who claimed a spectacular seven-wicket haul, as India dismissed New Zealand for 327 in 48.1 overs to reach their first World Cup final in 12 years.
"All those morons who have been saying about pitch change, I hope they just shut up, stop taking potshots at India. Stop talking about pitch change. It was for both teams," Gavaskar told the broadcasters after the match.
The report also claimed that if India make the final in Ahmedabad, a slow pitch is expected at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera.
"For God's sake the second semi-final hasn't been played and they are talking about changing pitch in Ahmedabad," Gavaskar said.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) also later clarified that the independent pitch consultant Andy Atkinson was taken into confidence before the change of surface.
"Changes to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of an event of this length, and have already happened a couple of times.
"This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host," the ICC said in a statement.
The ICC said Atkinson, its independent pitch consultant, was aware of the change.
"The ICC independent pitch consultant was apprised of the change and has no reason to believe the pitch won't play well," said the ICC.
As per the ICC's 'playing conditions' for the World Cup, the host association is "responsible for the selection and preparation of the pitch" and there is no requirement that a knockout match must be played on fresh pitches.
Australian captain Pat Cummins also did not read too much into the pitch episode.
However, former England skipper Michael Vaughan had said that a fresh pitch should be used for the semi-final.
"A World Cup semi should be played on a fresh pitch .. It's as simple as that," Vaughan had posted on X, formerly Twitter

Shami rattled the Black Caps with 7 wicket haul to hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup.

<h2>Shami rattled the Black Caps with 7 wicket haul to hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup.&nbsp;</h2>

A record-breaking performance by Virat Kohli and Mohd Shami helped India successfully seek revenge for the bitter loss in the 2019 World Cup semifinal as they marched into the 4th ODI World Cup final with a thumping 70-run win against New Zealand at Wankhede.&nbsp;
After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma's aggressive start provided the foundation for India's success. With Kohli's stellar 117 off 113 balls that helped him go past Sachin Tendulkar's 49-ODI centuries, Shubman Gill's 80, laced with 8 4s and 3 6s and Shreyas Iyer's special 70-ball 105, India set an imposing target of 398.
Later, Shami got rid of dangerous openers Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra early in the innings, but the Kiwis showed intent with a crucial 181-run stand between captain Kane Williamson (69) and centurion Daryl Mitchell. India needed a wicket to break the duo's momentum and incredible Shami came to rescue the team from the precarious situation with 2 wickets in the 33rd over. He ousted Williamson and Tom Latham in the same over which also saw him complete 50 wickets in the World Cup. From thereon, he alongside Kuldeep Yadav rattled the dispirited Black Caps who lost wickets in quick succession. The pacer picked 3 more wickets to complete his 7 wicket haul and also hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup.&nbsp;

In an email, Atkinson expressed concerns about potential favoritism in pitch preparation, questioning whether it would be the first-ever ICC World Cup final with a pitch specifically chosen at the request of the home team's management.&nbsp;

ICC Pitch Consultant expresses 'favouritism' concerns over preparations for Cricket World Cup Final

ICC pitch consultant Andy Atkinson has expressed doubts about whether the pitch for the World Cup final will be made 'without favouritism.'

<h2>In an email, Atkinson expressed concerns about potential favoritism in pitch preparation, questioning whether it would be the first-ever ICC World Cup final with a pitch specifically chosen at the request of the home team's management.&nbsp;</h2>

There are concerns regarding the pitch preparations for the upcoming ICC World Cup final as revealed by ICC pitch consultant Andy Atkinson. Atkinson, who oversees the pitch preparations for ICC events, has expressed doubts about whether the final pitch will be made 'without favouritism.'
Reports suggest that Atkinson visited Ahmedabad to assess the pitch preparations for the final, expressing dissatisfaction with alleged changes favouring the home team, India. Earlier, the Indian Express had reported that, for the semifinal against New Zealand,<a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/icc-world-cup/indian-team-management-ask-curators-to-prepare-a-slow-wankhede-wicket-for-ind-vs-nz-semifinal-world-cup-1700017255239"> the Indian team management instructed BCCI curators to trim the grass on the Wankhede Stadium playing surface</a>.&nbsp; India has traditionally excelled on slow tracks, and prior to the World Cup, the team management had requested matches to be held on slow pitches.
Typically, pitches at ICC events are prepared with Atkinson's supervision, with agreements made in advance with the home board on which strips will be used for each game. However, concerns have been raised about the Ahmedabad Stadium, where three of the four group games were reportedly played on surfaces different from the schedule.
Atkinson recommended using pitch No. 5 for the final, which had been used only once. However, there are indications that pitch No. 6, used twice, might be chosen to favour India's spinners.
In an email, Atkinson expressed concerns about potential favoritism in pitch preparation, questioning whether it would be the first-ever ICC World Cup final with a pitch specifically chosen at the request of the home team's management.&nbsp;
&ldquo;As a result of these actions, one must speculate if this will be the first ever ICC CWC (cricket World Cup) final to have a pitch which has been specifically chosen and prepared to their stipulation at the request of the team management and/or the hierarchy of the home nation board.&rdquo; He emphasised the importance of selecting or preparing the pitch without bias for either competing side, adhering to the usual standards for such occasions.

Cricket World Cup: Kane Williamson feels playing India would be challenging if... | NZ vs SL

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson admitted that it would be "challenging" for his team to play hosts India if they book a place in the semifinal of the World Cup.

#CWC23 #KaneWilliamson #NZvsSL


<h2>"Playing semis is special but playing the home team will be challenging. Looking forward to it if we are fortunate enough to have it."</h2>

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson said that it would be "challenging" for his side to play hosts India if his team is "fortunate enough" to book a place in the semifinal of the World Cup.
The Kiwis secured a five-wicket victory against Sri Lanka in their last league stage encounter here, as barring massive wins for Pakistan and Afghanistan against England and South Africa respectively, nothing can stop Williamson's side from locking the last semifinal berth in the World Cup.
Chasing 172 for victory, New Zealand knocked off the target in 23.2 overs to give their net run rate a massive boost, leaving both Pakistan and Afghanistan with a mountain to climb to secure the last available semis slot.
Asked whether the Kiwis were looking forward to a last-four clash with India, Williamson said, "Playing semis is special but playing the home team will be challenging. Looking forward to it if we are fortunate enough to have it." Afghanistan will need to win by more than 400 runs against South Africa in Ahmedabad on Friday to surpass New Zealand on NRR, while Pakistan have to defeat England by a minimum of 287 runs in Kolkata on Saturday.
Assuming England are restricted to 150, Pakistan will have to knock off the runs in just 3.4 overs.
"There's a few teams that could end up on similar points. (That is) not in our control. We will be having a couple of days off, not sure what's happening," was how Williamson summed up the situation, though he and his players would be extremely relaxed after a job well done.
Pacer Trent Boult, who won the 'Player of the Match' award for his 3/37, said it felt nice to contribute in a must-win game.
"Nice to get a bit of success at the top. A must-win game, the pleasure is about getting the result. It is a challenging part of the world opening the bowling. Nice to get a decent outing," Boult said.
"Always the biggest challenge of coming here is different conditions. Conditions have changed throughout." On facing India, if his side books a semis spot, the pacer said, "Everyone wants to a piece of the strong home nation. Looking forward to it." Batter Rachin Ravindra credited his success to Williamson's cool head. The Indian-origin cricketer, who is the leading the run charts said, "I have idolised a lot like Virat Kohli, Steven Smith, Joe Root. But Kane... his leadership, on and off the field, just keeps it calm. When you are young, you take the game on, lucky to have come off."

Sri Lanka's net run rate is -1.419 and it is at number 9 in the points table.

Hardik Pandya ruled out of ICC Cricket World Cup | What it means for Team India's campaign?

Team India's biggest fear comes true as star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled of the remainder of the Cricket World Cup. What it means for Rohit Sharma & Co.?

The ICC confirmed that India named Prasidh Krishna as Hardik's replacement and he is available for selection in the playing XI.

Team India and fans were hopeful that Hardik Pandya would recover from the ankle injury he picked during the game vs Bangladesh but their biggest fear came true on Saturday morning, when the star all-rounder was ruled out of the remainder of the Cricket World Cup.
The ICC confirmed that India named Prasidh Krishna as Hardik's replacement and he is available for selection in the playing XI.
But what does Hardik Pandya's absence mean for Team India going forward in the tournament?
The Baroda lad was on his way to recovery at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and was making decent progress. Rohit Sharma and the team management were hoping to have his services somewhere near the semi-finals but it won't happen.
Hardik's injury however, came as a blessing in disguise for Team India as it paved they way for Mohammed Shami. The pacer took the World Cup by storm by picking up 14 wickets in his first 3 matches and cemented his place in the playing XI.
Even if Hardik returned, it wouldn't have been at the cost of an in-form Shami. His exclusion also helped Suryakumar Yadav to make his ODI World Cup debut but he wasn't very impressive. Had Hardik returned, it could have been in place of Surya, which would have given Rohit 6 bowling options up his sleeves.
Never the less, Team India has found a way to survive without the all-rounder and as things stand, Hardik not being there shouldn't affect the Men in Blue, who have decimated oppositions without him in this tournament. &nbsp;
