No eagerness of improvement from PCB
Cricket has played a vital role in the unity of Pakistan, it is cricket when there is a match of Pakistan then its cricket which drags out public from political tensions or country's state to support Pakistan Cricket team. So as the cricket need a place where the match can be played on international standard. Stadiums provide this facility for cricket matches to play cricket on it. Stadiums are famous for beauty that it gives to cricket, when it comes to stadium we remind stadiums like Lords, Melbourne, Sydney, Ovals etc.
Talking about stadium give a touch to stadiums of Pakistan as well where fans are dying to watch an international match for many years. After Lahore incident, international cricket teams are fearing from Pakistan tour. On the absence of international matches Pakistan Cricket Board mostly depend on domestic matches which attract fans because mostly we see nails biting matches in it. Most of the matches are playing in Punjab and Sindh, but there is a ground that PCB has ignored for many years and that is Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium Peshawar.
Arbab Niaz Stadium is a Test cricket ground in Peshawar, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It replaced the Peshawar Club Ground as the home ground for the Peshawar cricket team in 1985. The ground has hosted 17 ODIs since 1984 (including two where no play was possible), and seven Test matches since 1995, most recently in 2003. The ground has a seating capacity of 20,000 (Wikipedia).
Arbab Niaz Cricket stadium produced players lik Younas Khan, Shahid Afridi, Umar Gul, Yasir Hameed, Wajahatullah Wasti, Kabir khan, Arshad Khan and many other players who dominated the cricket world with their cricketing skills. So as it produced rising stars like Junaid Khan, Sohail Khan, Yasir Shah etc. Whenever one talk about cricket in Pakistan, the same person won't ignore to talk about these cricket genious. See the records of first international match on Arbab Niaz stadium;
RECORDS: Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium host the first test in: Sep 8-11, 1995, the test match was played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka while it host the 1st ODI match in 1984, Pakistan and India were the teams that played that match.
LACK OF PCB INTEREST:PCB established international standard stadium in difference cities of Punjab and Sindh so as in Islamabad but this province is ignored. Even PCB don't give a time to arrange a cricket tournament in Arbab Niaz stadium to keep it alive. They only use it for marriage ceremony or political functions etc.
Last time India played an international match on it against Pakistan in 2006 and it was Peshawari's who give a huge response to Pakistan team for win. Almost 98% of the supporters were Peshawari in the stadium so as fans craze was on peak level outside the stadium.
I"m sure everyone will support this article and will call it violence on this historical ground, if PCB is very honest with their job then they should take some positive steps to keep this ground alive. Rather then there will be no player playing from Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa playing for Pakistan. There will be only 2 province teams, Punjab and Sindh. Before dividing public in nationalism, government should also take positive step for the upgrading of this historical ground to save the future Cricket of Pakistan instead of collapsing.

A question mark on IPL future
By: Abdul Aziz Malakzay
January 19, when all eyes were on World T20 Champions of 2009 world cup. After a successful career in IPL first edition Pakistani players were expected to have huge rates in auction this time. Not only succession in IPL, also this time ICL players were participating in IPL 3rd edition. Everyone knew that ICL became famous with the help of Pakistani cricketers so no one wanted to lose these diamonds. But with a plan, Pakistani cricketers were insulted and players who were kids in Cricket were preferred on players like Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Imran Nazir, Sohail Tanvir (Due to which IPL became famous), Kamran Akmal, Umar Gul (Best bowler in T20 cricket) and other star performers. According to the owner of IPL they have lots of player available in the category that's why owners of franchises didn't pick these star performers. One million time tell a lie but its 21st century and everyone know the reason behind that auction.
India won the T20 world cup 2007 against Pakistan in South Africa and launched IPL. In the 2nd edition of IPL Pakistani players didn't participate, world best team players participated in that. That nonparticipating helped the Pakistani Cricket Team to dominated in T20 Format and also winning the T20 World Cup 2009. A team that was ignored in IPL 3 edition became the strong team in T20 cricket even teams like Australia were celebrating their victory on high level after winning from Pakistan. On the other hand the founder of IPL, India Cricket Team lost their own status in T20 Cricket and their performance was not that good to be appreciated especially in world cup matches after playing in IPL.
In the start of IPL many cricketers praised the concept of IPL, their statements changed after Pakistan ignoring to participate in IPL 2nd edition and becoming T20 champions. IPL had huge supporters from Pakistan after India but due to the black plans of IPL governing body a large numbers of Pakistani fans stopped watching IPL. During IPL sessions 3 many newspaper claimed that players are fixing the matches in IPL but no one took notice against IPL. Players start preferring playing for IPL instead of playing for their countries and in result performance of players start falling. As a result a team that was ignored in IPL become the top team in T20 cricket and those teams that participated in IPL become the week team in T20 cricket especially India. A kid can send the ball out of the park in IPL but in real he can't score a run. That's the difference in front of former Cricketers.
Following the way of IPL other countries also improved their domestic leagues but they focused on quality instead of quantity. As a result, they attracted the viewers from other countries. When we talk about those leagues then Big Bash take an edge on other leagues also Friends life T20. People from Asian are crazy to watch these matches live on their tv screens even they find solution to watch it on internet as well. South African also invested lots of money to attract the viewers from other countries. When it comes to domestic league the it will be unfair if we don't talk about a Pakistani domestic League "Faysal Bank T20" which was start with the name of "ABN Amro cup". This tournament proved that money can't make a league famous, if you have quality in a league then you can make it famous. All matches were played in one stadium but still it produce better players compare to IPL. Friends Life T20 League helped England to win the title of 2010 T20 world cup and Australia reached to the final due to Big Bash tournament.
India became the strongest team in test Cricket at their home grounds as they defeated teams like South Africa, New Zealand & Australia etc. According to the formers cricketers of India IPL helped India to get stronger in Cricket and introduced new talent. Till 2011 world cup India played most of their matches at home grounds and become the No. 1 team in Test Cricket so as their rank improved in ODI cricket. As IPL was famous for T20 cricket they didn't get any major achievement in T20 cricket. Formers Indian Cricketers closed their eyes on the performance of India cricket team in T20 cricket. When they won the world cup final, their achievements start talking to sky. Became the strongest team when it compared to economical condition.
Pakistani fans gave India Cricket team a title "Lion of home", a title which is spreading widely everywhere. No offensive, but this title settled with India when they tour to England. Before the test series, companies were praising India Cricket team, almost every TV channel was interested to talk about the battle of No. 1 test team India vs No. 2 test team England. Before the start of the series everyone was talking that India will win the series easily, what happened with India in test series everyone know. If you study the history of cricket, No. 1 team never defeated badly like India did in England. Whitewash in Test series, T20 and 2-0 loss in ODI series. All this opened the eyes of the former cricketers not only international cricketers but also Indian formers cricketers. Everyone talked against IPL in Pakistan and many formers cricketer in India blamed India for giving lots of time to IPL. Amongst those name one name that is very popular is Kapil Dev: Kapil Dev said that IPL made Indian Cricketers greedy of money. Explaining his statement "Greed is a curse", and this curse become the reason of India downfall. Other Indian Cricketers also criticized IPL and call it game of entertainment and money. Adding to this, Sri Lankan former captain Ranatunga blamed Sri Lankan players for playing in IPL, according to them Sri Lanka will become weakest team in Cricket after players like Sangakara & Jaywardane if Sri Lankan cricket Board didn't stop their players from playing in IPL. He also praised Michael Clarke for focusing on Test cricket instead of IPL etc. Nassir Hussain after his controversial commentary opened his mouth against IPL and said ECB should stop their players from playing IPL if they want to be No. 1 for upcoming 5 years. In april, sports minister Mahindanada Aluthgamage demanded his resignation after he was forced to make a U-turn on his directive that Sri Lankan players in the IPL must put the country before cash-rich league. BCCI didn't allow their players to play in SLPL because they don't want any other league to stand at front of IPL. Their dreams become nightmare when they found Friends Life T20 tournament as an upcoming popular cricket league so as Big Bash tournament. Other formers cricketer criticized IPL due to it's entertainment which only allow people to play for the money instead of the pride of their countries.
One thing that hurt a lot Indian cricket team during the tour of England and that is injury. Major players injury in IPL and worst performance of top performers in IPL worst performance in England tour open the mouth of Indian fans. Dhoni thinking about quitting test cricket for it's future in cricket and many other things. All this proved that IPL was the only reason behind the injuries and worst performance of Indian players. Formers Indian Cricketers opening their mouth against the league of money & injuries shows that if Indian players want to regain their place in cricket then they should focus on international cricket instead of IPL. Short boundaries, gleamours, cheerleaders, fixing, injuries, biased system of IPL governing all this made IPL a controversial league. Many polls were introduced by websites and sports channel regarding the hatred of IPL whether people still loving IPL or not. 55% of cricket fans in India boycotted IPL and named it with entertainment instead of cricket. After India loss this hatred will increase, due to which the future of IPL become a question mark. That's all my article about article in light of different experts statements and performance of teams playing and not playing IPL. Don't forget to comment whether you are agree with me or not. Regards
