Warriors Win T10 Title After Beating Pakhtoons by 22 Runs Page2 2 Main News Page Warriors Win T10 Title After Beating Pakhtoons by 22 Runs SHARJAH - A tournament domi- nated by big-hitting Afghan, West Indian and English batsmen was finally decided by an unheralded Australian off-spinner, as North- ern Warriors won the second T10 League title. The Warriors had Rovman Pow- ell (61*) and Andre Russell (38) to thank with the bat while Chris Green (2-11) and Hardus Viljoen (2-24) starred with the ball to deny Shahid Afridi, his thousands of fans, and the Pakhtoons a first T10 Taliban Plant title, according to ESPN report.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) said the 30-year-old had fixed or tried to fix matches in inaugural Afghanistan Premier League T20 in 2018 and in the 2019 Bangladesh Premier League. "Shafaq has been charged for breaches of the anti-corruption code which relates to fixing or contriving in any way or otherwise influencing improperly, or being a party to any agreement," the ACB announced in a statement. It added: "Shafaq was also charged for seeking, accepting, offering or agreeing to accept any bribe or other reward to fix or to contrive in any way or otherwise to to influence improperly the result, progress, conduct or any other aspect of any domestic match." Match fixing has rocked international cricket in the last two decades with life bans for the late South African skipper Hansie Cronje, Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin and Pakistan's Salim Malik. But this is the first case involving a player from Afghanistan since the country had a fairytale rise in international cricket in 2009.

He felt dismayed at the prospects of inviting international players after the country’s track record of security and terrorism. Feeling nostalgic about the cricket in Pakistan, Sethi went through the PCB’s documents and shockingly discovered that PCB is generating no revenue like it used to do until 2009. He was well aware of the fact cricket is the sport that is Pakistan’s blood, and every nook and cranny is yearning for live cricket in Pakistan—comparing it with other countries like India, where IPL generates staggering revenues and proved the bordering country with amazement and thrill every year. Indians remain excited that the IPL will continue every year and they will witness the spectacle of deadly yorkers and loft sixes very soon. Sethi feels every other cricket- loving nation have their own leagues like County Cricket, Big Bash League, Sri Lankan Premier League, Caribbean Premier League, etc.

  • 369- February 2018
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 369- FEBRUARY 2018 NEW ROLE FOR JAMES TOMLINSON Our new Patron, James Tomlinson, has been appointed Hampshire Cricket Player Development Manager. The club’s website states that “in this role, he will be responsible for both managing and delivering the player pathway whilst also overseeing all boys County age group sides and Regional Performance Centres”. The Society wishes him every success in what seems a very large and challenging role. He will no doubt be relishing it. T10 CRICKET Cricket continued on its inexorable dumbing down path with the staging of the inaugural international t10 tournament in the UAE in December. Among those taking part were Liam Dawson and Shahid Afridi (both for Pakhtoons) and Rilee Roussow (Maratha Arabians). Both of their respective sides reached the semi-final. All the Hampshire players enjoyed their moment. Afridi performed the hat-trick when the above two sides met, and was nominated man of the match. His first victim was Roussow (followed by Dwayne Bravo and Virender Sehwag). Roussow went on to win two man of the match awards, and Dawson one. The six team tournament was won by Kerala Kings, who defeated Punjabi Legends in the final. The former’s match winners in that game were the Middlesex duo of Paul Stirling and Eoin Morgan. The competition was adjudged a success. The participants were enthusiastic. It seems sure to be repeated. It is certain to spawn similar competitions elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, then will the ECB t20 tournament scheduled to be held in 2020 already be “old hat” when it is played? Would it be better for them to change the format to t10? It would benefit both county cricket and test cricket if they did so.
