  • One Year In: a Conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan
    1 One Year In: A Conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan United States Institute of Peace Tuesday, July 23, 2019 Transcript Nancy Lindborg: Good morning, everybody. My name is Nancy Lindborg. I'm the president and CEO here at the U.S. Institute of Peace, and I'm delighted to welcome you here today. A special welcome to our esteemed guest of honor, Prime Minister Imran Khan, and to the delegation who's traveled far to be here with him. A warm welcome to every who's joining us online, and you can join the conversation @USIP on Twitter with #ImranKhanUSIP. And I'm delighted everyone could be here for the conversation today. This is the kind of conversation that is the hallmark of U.S. Institute of Peace, which was founded 35 years ago by Congress as an independent, nonpartisan national institution dedicated to reducing international violent conflict. And, we very strongly believe that peace is possible, that peace is practical, and it is absolutely essential for U.S. and international security. So, we pursue our mission by linking research with policy, with training and with action, working on the ground with partners. Our Pakistan program is one of our largest here at the Institute, and we've been active in the country since 2011. We partner with a network of civil society organizations, innovators, scholars and policymakers to support local programs, conduct research and analysis and convene local peacebuilders.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

  • Saleem Yousuf (Pakistan 1982 to 1990)
    Saleem Yousuf (Pakistan 1982 to 1990) Pakistan hosted the West Indies in 1986-87. Expecting a gruelling Test series, Imran Khan wanted known fighters in his team. Zulqarnain had kept wicket in Pakistan’s previous Test series against Sri Lanka and in the following One Day International (ODI) tournaments. Anil Dilpat was wicketkeeper in the first of two three-day tour games and in an ODI against the West Indies in October 1986. For the second three-day game, just a week before the opening Test, Imran brought in Saleem Yousuf and retained him for the series. Afterwards Imran felt his choice was vindicated: “In Salim Yousuf, Pakistan had found a courageous player and one who could handle a crisis.” When Pakistan toured the West Indies later in 1987-88, Saleem, despite a broken nose from being hit in the face in the first innings, came in at No. 9 in the second and played a vital innings of 28, adding 51 runs, to help set West Indies a testing score at Bridgetown. Wasim Akram considered Saleem “not the tidiest keeper, but he’s one of the bravest batsman I’ve ever seen.” Saleem Yousuf contributed much to Pakistan’s rise to the summit in Test cricket from 1986. Successes against West Indies, and series wins over India, England (twice), Australia and New Zealand meant that when Pakistan and the West Indies met in late 1990 the series was regarded as the unofficial world championship. Saleem played only in the first Test in that 1990 series, finishing his Test career by helping Pakistan take the lead.

  • 1 His Excellency Mr. Imran Khan Prime Minister of Pakistan Prime
    His Excellency Mr. Imran Khan Prime Minister of Pakistan Prime Minister's Office, Islamabad, Islamabad Capital Territory 6 October 2020 Dear Prime Minister Khan, Subject: Pakistan Citizens Protection (Against Online Harm) Rules 2020 I hope this email finds you well. On behalf of the Asia Internet Coalition (AIC) and its members, I would like to follow up regarding the Citizens Protection (Against Online Harm) Rules 2020 or the Removal and Blocking of Unlawful Content (Procedure, Oversight and Safeguards) Rules, 2020 (“Rules”). The AIC is an industry association of leading Internet and technology companies and seeks to promote the understanding and resolution of Internet and ICT policy issues in the Asia Pacific region. Our members are Airbnb, Amazon, Apple, Cloudflare, Expedia Group, Facebook, Google, SAP, Grab, LinkedIn, LINE, Rakuten, Twitter and Yahoo (Verizon Media), and Booking.com. Firstly, we wish to thank you for your personal intervention in suspending the previous version of the Citizen Protection Against Online Harm Rules that had failed to uphold internationally recognized rights to individual expression and privacy as guaranteed by the Constitution of Pakistan. We also appreciate your role in directing your Government towards initiating a proper multi-stakeholder consultation on the revised set of rules. However, the AIC is deeply concerned by the lack of consultation and would like to bring to your attention that despite multiple requests, no draft of the revised Rules has been shared with industry stakeholders for input or feedback. As in any international best practice consultation process, it was a legitimate expectation of stakeholders that after initial input leading to a revised draft, policy makers would undertake an in depth consultation with industry.

  • High Commissioner Hosts World Cup Exhibition Australian High Commission Islamabad
    AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMM ISSION ISLAMABAD Tuesday 14 May 2019 Press Release HIGH COMMISSIONER HOSTS WORLD CUP EXHIBITION The Australian High Commissioner to Pakistan, Margaret Adamson, today opened an exhibition of photographs from the 1992 Cricket World Cup played in Australia. “1992 was a tournament of firsts. The first World Cup played in Australia. The first appearance of coloured kit, white balls and night cricket. And, most importantly, the first World Cup collected by Pakistan,” Ms Adamson said. “This wonderful exhibition of photos by Iqbal Munir captures the ecstasy of the Pakistani players during that victory over the English,” she said. Ms Adamson noted that although Australia and Pakistan were fierce competitors on the field, cricket was a unifying passion for the two countries. “Every summer, more than a million Australians play the game, and you see the same enthusiasm here in Pakistan. On every street, in every open space, youngsters are out hitting the ball, grabbing a wicket, being part of the team,” she said. “Pakistan has produced some of the game's true champions: Imran Khan, the best of skippers; Shahid Afridi, who hit more sixes than anyone else in one-day internationals; Sarfraz Nawaz, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, who pioneered reverse swing,” she said. The exhibition of work by Iqbal Munir, a widely travelled cricket photographer and enthusiast, will be open to public on 14 and 15 May at Dolmen Mall, Karachi. “What happened on the field in 1992 might be etched in the memory of every cricket fan in the country and is refreshed every four years by the barrage of video clips and pictures that flood social media and television screens,” Mr Munir said.
