A total of 8 CCTV cameras have been stolen from Gadaffi stadium ahead of the Lahore leg of the Pakistan Super League, as per local reports.&nbsp; Apart from CCTV cameras, fibre cables for the cameras and generator batteries have also been reported missing. As per the information available, the total cost of security arrangements at the stadium was 500 million Pakistani rupees. While the Punjab govt has agreed to compensate half the money, they want the Pakistan cricket board to take care of the remaining expense.&nbsp; However, with both parties unable to find a common ground, the reports suggest that the venue could be shifted to Karachi.&nbsp;

ACC informed that a concrete decision on the matter would be taken at the next ACC Executive Board Meeting in March 2023. 

Asia Cup 2023 likely to be moved out of Pakistan, venue to be decided in March

Asia Cup 2023 venue to be shifted from Pakistan?

Here's what BCCI secretary Jay Shah and PCB chairman Najam Sethi discussed during the formal meeting in Bahrain

ACC informed that a concrete decision on the matter would be taken at the next ACC Executive Board Meeting in March 2023.&nbsp;

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is expected to shift Asia Cup from Pakistan and decide on an alternate venue in March as BCCI secretary Jay Shah and PCB chairman Najam Sethi discussed the issue during a formal meeting in Bahrain on Saturday. All heads of ACC member nations attended the emergent meeting which was called at the behest of Sethi after the continental body released its itinerary and Pakistan wasn't named the hosts for the Asia Cup.
The Asia Cup was initially allotted to Pakistan and was scheduled in September this year but Shah, who is also the ACC chairman, had announced last October that India will not travel to Pakistan due diplomatic tension between the two nations.
"The ACC had a constructive dialogue on the upcoming Asia Cup 2023. The Board agreed to continue discussions on operations, timelines and any other specifics with a view to ensure the success of the tournament. An update on the matter would be taken on the next ACC Executive Board Meeting to be held in March 2023," ACC said in a statement.
While a decision will come only next month, a senior BCCI official privy to the development told PTI that it is highly unlikely that Pakistan will host the tournament.
"With India deciding against travelling to Pakistan, the tournament will have to be shifted. A tournament without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will have the sponsors back out," the official said.
One ACC insider said Sethi has just taken over PCB and if he had ceded ground on the hosting rights in the first meeting itself, then it would have led to a bad impression at home.
Pakistan is currently going through an economic crisis. The inflation has hit the country very hard as one USD is now equal to 277 Pakistani Rupee. Organising a high-profile tournament like Asia Cup, even if ACC pays a grant could burn a hole in PCB coffers.
So strategically, if the tournament is held in the UAE, there is every possibility that all the member nations will also get to earn apart from the broadcast revenues.
In another decision, the ACC has decided to increase the annual budget allocated for Afghanistan Cricket Association to 15 percent from six.
The ACC has assured that it will help the Afghanistan board in all possible ways so that women's cricket can be revived in the country. Women are banned from playing sport under Taliban rule.
The Executive Board also approved of the inclusion of teams from Japan and Indonesia in the ACC pathway tournaments to participate in the events as invitees.

Including all three formats, Babar has captained Pakistan in 66 matches so far, out of which the team has won 40 matches, while the team has seen defeat in 21 matches.

Will Babar Azam be sacked as Pakistan's captain?

Babar has captained Pakistan in 66 matches so far across all three formats, out of which the team has won 40 matches, while they've been defeated in 21 matches.

After a string of disappointing performances from the Men in Green, Babar Azam's captaincy is under some harsh scrutiny. As per an ESPNCricinfo report, the newly-appointed officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board are aiming at a revamp and are looking to 'challenge the status quo of the team if necessary'. This evidently indicates that the Najam Sethi-headed board might also either go forward with split captaincy or take away the captaincy duties entirely from Babar Azam, who is currently the team's leader across formats.&nbsp; The current management who have been on a spree of making some tough calls, from disbanding the selection committee to bringing in Shahid Afridi to naming Shan Masood the vice-captain in ODI, will now analyse the 28-year-old's role in the 3 formats as the captain. Masood's elevation was surprising as he last played the 50-over format in 2019 and had visibly been out of the conversations as well. He didn't even make it to the playing XI for the first two ODIs against New Zealand.

After losing the T20 World Cup final, Azam, unfortunately, became the first Pak captain to lose four consecutive Test matches at home. Pakistan have not won any of the 3 Test series played at home in 2022.&nbsp; Including all three formats, Babar has captained Pakistan in 66 matches so far, out of which the team has won 40 matches, while the team has seen defeat in 21 matches.

Mickey Arthur rejects offer to become Pakistan's head coach 

Former Pakistan coach, Mickey Arthur, has rejected PCB's offer to reprise his role as the national team's head coach.
Here's why.

Arthur, who has a long-term contract with English county side Derbyshire, also turned down the offer of a consultant's role.

Former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur has rejected an offer from the Pakistan Cricket Board to return as the national team's head coach.
In a statement, PCB confirmed that their talks have fallen through despite the board's second proposal offering a consultant's role.
According to a PTI report, Arthur, who is currently the head coach of English county side Derbyshire wasn't willing to give up his long-term contract due to his unpleasant experience with the board in the past.
Pakistan's current head coach Saqlain Mushtaq's tenure will end after the 3rd ODI vs New Zealand and the former off-spinner had already informed the board of his wish to not extend his term.

BCCI VS PCB : A senior Pakistan Cricket Board official said that PCB Chairman Ramiz Raza is now mulling over pulling out from the 50-over World Cup that India will host.

BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board are at loggerheads, yet again after BCCI secretary, Jay Shah who is also the president of the Asian Cricket Council said that Asia Cup 2023, which is to be hosted by Pakistan, <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/india-won-t-travel-to-pakistan-for-asia-cup-2023-asian-cricket-council-chief-jay-shah-1666088161833">will rather be played at a neutral venue.&nbsp;</a> In response to Shah's statement, a senior Pakistan Cricket Board official said that PCB Chairman Ramiz Raza is now mulling over pulling out from the 50-over World Cup that India will host. 'The PCB is prepared to take hard decisions and play hardball because it is also aware that the ICC and ACC events will have to face commercial liabilities and losses if Pakistan does not play India in these multi-team events,' a senior PCB source told PTI As per reports, the Pakistan board did not expect any announcement around next year's Asia Cup this early. A spokesperson from the board told PTI, 'We have nothing to say at the moment, but yes, we will look at things and take up this matter at appropriate forums like the ICC board meeting in Melbourne next month'.
It has been learnt that the PCB chairman and other senior officials were surprised at the timing of Jay Shah's statement because there is still nearly a year to go before the Asia Cup is held in Pakistan in September 2023.

Talks of bringing a veteran player like Shoaib Malik back into the team have been doing the rounds for a while now and Raja had a unique take on the matte.

&ldquo;We have experimented with the senior players in the last T20 World Cup. I dont&rsquo; have any issue. But my philosophy in cricket is- We need consistency in selection and second we need to strengthen the skipper. We have limited options," added Ramiz.
However, Raja is optimistic of his team's performance at the upcoming T20 world cup. Pakistan open its campaign against India on October 23.
