PCB adds to confusion over Malik’s eligibility

Monday, 29 October 2012


KARACHI: Pakistan cricket chiefs have made no decision yet on disgraced former captain Salim Malik’s bid to become the national side’s batting coach, an official said Monday.
The 49-year-old Malik last week applied for the post, saying he was under no bar after a Pakistani court lifted his life ban for match fixing in October 2008, though the sport’s governing body has not publicly endorsed the ruling.
Malik was banned from cricket for life in 2000 by a judicial inquiry after Australian players Shane Warne, Tim May and Mark Waugh alleged Malik had offered them money to under-perform during their team’s tour to Pakistan in 1994.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf had effectively ruled out Malik’s appointment a few days ago saying: “Only those candidates will be considered who meet our eligibility process.”
But a PCB spokesman confirmed Malik, a dashing middle-order batsman in his day, had applied for the post and that there was no final decision on his appointment yet.
“Malik’s application was received last week and now it is up to the committee to choose the candidate for the job on merit and nothing has been finalised as yet on Malik by the committee or PCB chairman,” PCB spokesman Nadeem Sarwar said.
Pakistan last year formed a coaching committee under former captain and PCB director Intikhab Alam, with legendary batsman Zaheer Abbas, Naushad Ali and former captain turned commentator Ramiz Raja as members.
The panel earlier this year chose former Australian batsman Dav Whatmore as the head coach, Englishman Julian Fountain as fielding coach and former Pakistan paceman Mohammad Akram as bowling coach.
“The committee will also assess the credentials of Malik in a similar way as they assess the credentials of other candidates who have applied for the job and in Malik’s case they will also check whether he is eligible to take a cricket-related job,” the spokesman said.
Announcing his bid for the job on Friday, Malik said he was not put off by the fact he has no coaching badges — a requirement stipulated by the PCB.
Malik has been recently involved in private coaching but his failure to clear the lifting of the ban with the International Cricket Council (ICC) has been a hurdle in him taking a cricket-related job.
PCB had to reverse its decision of appointing Malik batting coach for their academy in Lahore in 2008 after the ICC reportedly objected.

ICC was prejudiced in my case: Mohammad Asif


LAHORE: Disgraced former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif said on Monday his appeal against a seven-year ban for spot-fixing will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in February.
The 29-year-old was jailed by a British court in November last year after being found guilty of corruption charges over deliberate no-balls during the Lord’s Test against England in August 2010.
Teammates Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir were also jailed in the same case.
All three were freed earlier this year.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) also handed the trio long bans. But Asif, who returned to Pakistan on Sunday, told reporters he had taken his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports.
“I have come home after one year and missed my family, friends and my country,” said Asif.
“My appeal against the ICC ban will be heard in February next year and I hope that I will get justice.”
Asif, who has been banned twice for drugs offences, accused the ICC of prejudice.
“The ICC was prejudiced in my case and I am going to highlight that during my appeal,” he said. “I can never think of staining my country’s name and I did nothing wrong.
“It was a case of a no-ball and that can happen in a cricket match. My book on this case is also coming shortly in which I will highlight some points which were not highlighted by the media until now.”
Asif came to be regarded as one of Pakistan’s finest new-ball bowlers after making his debut on the Australia tour in 2004.
He took 106 wickets in 23 Tests and 46 wickets in 38 one-day internationals but his career was blighted by controversies.
He and team-mate Shoaib Akhtar failed a drugs test and were banned for one year in 2006, though the ban was later overturned on appeal.
He was again banned for a year after failing a drugs test during the Indian Premier League in 2008, and on his return from the league was detained at Dubai airport after a banned drug was found in his possession.
Asif said he hoped to return to the game after getting his ban lifted.
“I am fit and have played a club-level game in England and once the ban is lifted I am sure I can return to cricket and help my country,” he said.

Third umpires to check for no-balls, day-night Tests on


LONDON: The third umpire will be called upon to check for a no-ball after dismissals as part of a series of amendments to the rules of cricket due to come into force on Tuesday, the ICC said on Monday.
Previously, the third umpire would only be asked to adjudicate if a decision was referred to him by the on-field officials, but will now immediately check the fairness of a delivery “following any mode of dismissal that is not permitted off a no-ball”.
The ICC said in a statement: “If the delivery was not a fair delivery, the third umpire shall advise the on-field umpire by two-way radio who should recall the dismissed batsman, indicate that the batsman is not out and signal no-ball.”
The new playing conditions, which also include new rules for playing day-night Test matches, will be introduced at the start of the Sri Lanka and New Zealand series which gets underway in Pallekele on Tuesday.
The amendments to the playing conditions are:
GENERAL CHANGES (applies to more than one format)
Decision Review System (Tests and ODIs)
Clause 3.3 (ii) of Appendix 2, which deals with LBW protocols, has been amended and the margin of uncertainty applicable to the point of impact with the pad has been increased so that it is the same as provided for determining the projected point of impact with the stumps i.e. if the centre of the ball is shown to be impacting in line within an area demarcated by a line drawn down the middle of the outer stumps (and the bottom of the bails), then the decision will always be out.
If the whole of the ball is shown to be impacting outside the line of the stumps, then the decision will always be not out. If there is anything in between, the original on-field decision will stand.
As such, this clause will now read as follows: “If a ‘not out’ decision is being reviewed, in order to report that the point of impact is between wicket and wicket (i.e. in line with the stumps), the evidence provided by technology should show that the centre of the ball at the moment of interception is in line within an area demarcated by a line drawn below the lower edge of the bails and down the middle of the outer stumps.
“If an ‘out’ decision is being reviewed, in order to report that the point of impact is not between wicket and wicket (i.e. outside the line of the stumps), the evidence provided by technology should show that no part of the ball at the moment of interception is between wicket and wicket.”
No-balls (Tests, ODIs and T20Is)
A clause in the Appendix, which deals with No-balls in the Third Umpire TV Replay System, has been amended.
This now reads as: “Following any mode of dismissal that is not permitted off a no-ball and which is not the subject of an Umpire or Player Review, the third umpire shall, subject to the availability of suitable technology, immediately check the fairness of the delivery (foot-fault only). If the delivery was not a fair delivery, the third umpire shall advise the on-field umpire by two-way radio who should recall the dismissed batsman, indicate that the batsman is not out and signal no-ball.
“If suitable technology is not available to the third umpire, then if the on-field umpire is uncertain as the fairness of the delivery (foot-fault only), he shall be entitled to request the batsman to delay leaving the field and to check the fairness of the delivery (foot-fault only) with the third umpire. Consultation with the third umpire shall be by way of two way radio. If the delivery was not a fair delivery the on-field umpire shall indicate that the batsman is not-out and signal no-ball.”
Dead Ball (Tests, ODIs and T20Is)
Clause 23.4, Umpire calling and signaling ‘Dead Ball’, now reads as: “In a match where Spydercam is being used, either umpire shall call and signal ‘dead ball’, should a ball that has been hit by the batsman make contact, while still in play, with the Spydercam or its cable. The ball shall not count as one of the over and no runs shall be scored.”
Over-rates (Tests, ODIs and T20Is)
In the event of any time allowances being granted to the fielding team under 16.2 (d) (time wasting by batting team), then such time shall be deducted from the allowances granted to the batting team in the determination of its over-rate.
TEST MATCHES (only)
Day/night Tests
Participating countries may agree to play day/night Test matches. The home and visiting boards will decide on the hours of play which will be six hours of scheduled play per day while the two boards will also decide on the precise brand, type and colour of ball to be used for the match.
Intervals
Although the duration of the lunch and tea intervals remain unchanged i.e. 40 and 20 minutes respectively (as per Clause 15.1), the host team, with the consent of the opposing side, can apply to the ICC for an approval to depart from the standard playing conditions to provide for intervals of 30 minutes each.
ONE DAY INTERNATIONALS (Only)
Powerplays and fielding restrictions
Instead of three, there will be two blocks of Powerplays.
In an uninterrupted innings, the first Powerplay will be restricted to the first 10 overs with only two fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle. The second five-over batting Powerplay (in an uninterrupted innings) will have to be completed by the 40th over and only three fielders will be allowed outside the fielding restriction area at the time of delivery.
In the non-Powerplay overs, no more than four fielders will be permitted outside the 30-yard circle.
For more details, please refer to ODI Playing Condition 41.2 Restrictions on the placement of fieldsmen.
Short-pitched deliveries
Law 42.6 (a) has been amended as: “A bowler shall be limited to two fast short-pitched deliveries per over.”
T20 INTERNATIONALS (Only)
One Over Per Side Eliminator
The following changes have been made to Appendix 7 which deals with One Over Per Side Eliminator (OOPSE):
In both innings of the one over per side eliminator, the fielding side shall choose from which end to bowl.
Only nominated players in the main match may participate in the OOPSE. Should any player (including the batsmen and bowler) be unable to continue to participate in the OOPSE due to (an) injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons, the relevant Laws and Playing Conditions as they apply in the main match shall also apply in the OOPSE.
Any penance time being served in the main match shall be carried forward to the OOPSE.
The fielding captain or his nominee shall select the ball with which he wishes to bowl his over in the OOPSE from the box of spare balls provided by the umpires. Such box to include the balls used in the main match, but no new balls. The team fielding first in the OOPSE shall have first choice of ball. The team fielding second may choose to use the same ball as chosen by the team bowling first. If the ball needs to be changed, then playing conditions as stated for the main match shall apply.
Over-rate time allowances
In addition to the available allowances under Clause 16.2 (Minimum Over-Rates), additional allowance of one minute will be given for the fall of each of the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth wickets

جنوبی افریقہ کے طور پر پی پی ایل کے لئے دھچکا reschedule سے انکار

Tuesday, 23 October 2012

کراچی (اسٹاف رپورٹر) منگل کو انڈین پریمیئر لیگ کے خطوط گھریلو Twenty20 مقابلہ کے لئے پاکستان کے منصوبہ بندی ایک مشکل مارا کے طور پر جنوبی افریقہ نے ان کی سیریز ٹورنامنٹ کو ایڈجسٹ کرنے کے لئے reschedule سے انکار کر دیا ہے.         



دنیا بھر میں آئی پی ایل اور اسی طرح کے لیگ کی بڑی کامیابی کے بعد پاکستان کرکٹ بورڈ (پی سی بی) نے جزوی طور پر بیرون ملک مقیم کرکٹرز کو شورش زدہ ملک میں واپس اپنی طرف متوجہ کی کوشش کے طور پر ان کے اپنے ورژن شروع کرنے کی منصوبہ بندی کر رہا ہے.

انٹرنیشنل کرکٹ کو سیکورٹی خدشات کے دوران مارچ 2009 میں لاہور میں دوسرے ٹیسٹ کے دوران سری لنکا کی ٹیم کی بس پر مہلک دہشت گرد حملوں کے بعد پاکستان میں معطل ہے.

پاکستان کرکٹ بورڈ نے اگلے سال مارچ میں پاکستان پریمیئر لیگ (پی پی ایل) منچن چاہتے تھے لیکن منصوبہ واپس مقرر کے بعد جنوبی افریقہ نے پاکستان کی قومی ٹیم کے دورے کو پنرویوستیت کرنے سے انکار کر دیا گیا تھا.

پاکستان نے 1 فروری اور 24 مارچ کے درمیان تین ٹیسٹ، پانچ ون ڈے اور دو T20s ادا کرنے والے ہیں اور آگے دھکیل دیا جائے کے دورے کو پی پی ایل کو ایڈجسٹ کرنا چاہتے تھے.

"ہم کرکٹ جنوبی افریقہ سے درخواست کی سفر کے پروگرام تاکہ ہم ہمارے پریمیئر لیگ کے لیے ونڈو کو توسیع کر سکتے پر تبدیل کرنے کے لئے، لیکن انہوں نے کہا کہ سیریز کے لئے ٹکٹ پہلے ہی باہر فروخت کر رہے ہیں اور یہ ممکن نہیں ہے اب،" پی سی بی کے ترجمان ندیم سرور نے اے ایف پی کو بتایا.

"ہم اپنی پوزیشن کو سمجھتے ہیں اور اس کے ساتھ آرام دہ اور پرسکون ہیں، ترجمان نے کہا کہ.

جنوبی افریقہ کے دورے کی تاریخوں کو صرف ایک چھوٹی سی ونڈو چھوڑ سے پہلے منافع بخش آئی پی ایل، جو کھیل کے سب سے بڑے ستاروں کے سب سے زیادہ اپنی طرف متوجہ 3 اپریل کو شروع ہوتی ہے.

، DawnNews کی رپورٹ سے قبل پی سی بی کے چیئرمین ذکاء ​​اشرف نے کہا ہے کہ پی پی ایل میں حصہ لینے کے لئے بین الاقوامی کھلاڑیوں کے ساتھ مذاکرات جاری تھے.

مقامی ذرائع ابلاغ میں رپورٹیں کا دعوی ہے پی سی بی نے سری لنکا، بنگلہ دیش، آسٹریلیا اور ویسٹ انڈیز کے کھلاڑیوں کو پیسے کی خاطر خواہ رقم کی پیشکش کی ہے، پی پی ایل میں ظاہر ہے، لیکن سیکورٹی خدشات انہیں قائل آنے کا ایک بہت بڑا رکاوٹ ہو جائے گا.

پاکستان نے کامیابی سے بین الاقوامی دنیا کے ساتھ دو Twenty20 نمائش میچ کی میزبانی الیون ہفتہ اور اتوار کو سری لنکا، جنوبی افریقہ، ویسٹ انڈیز اور کراچی میں افغانستان سے کھلاڑیوں کو شامل ہے.
