In this collection of pictures we shall know the player who couldn't become a star due to Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram. Cricketer also has a love story like Sachin Tendulkar. Let's dive in.
Meet Aaqib Javed, who played more than 150 ODIs for the country, was once Pakistan's lead bowler and also led the team to victory in many matches.
Due to the presence of bowlers like Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, he was always overlooked in the eyes of the fans. He made his first class debut at the age of 12.
Aaqib was born in a Sandhu Jat family living in Sheikhpura, Pakistan. He made his first class debut in 1984 at the age of only 12, playing for the Lahore Division team. Aaqib made his ODI debut in December 1988 against West Indies. He made his Test debut in February 1989 against New Zealand in Wellington at the age of 16 years and 189 days. Aaqib Javed played 22 Test and 163 ODI matches in his 10-year cricket career. Out of which he took 54 wickets in Test and 182 wickets in ODI. He also took 182 wickets in 163 ODIs for Pakistan, played his last ODI at the age of 26.
Aaqib Javed's wife name is Farzana, with whom he has had a love cum arranged marriage. Aaqib first saw her at the Pakistani Embassy in Toronto. At that time Aaqib was in Canada to play the Sahara Cup with India.
The love story of Aaqib Javed is also like Sachin Tendulkar and Anjali Tendulkar's love story. Aaqib Javed fell in love with her at first sight, after which Aaqib proposed to her and only after she said yes, they started trying for marriage. There were many problems in Aaqib's marriage. Because Farzana came from a traditional Pathan family, where girls cannot talk about their marriage, while Aaqib was a non-Pathan. Here Aaqib got the advantage of being a cricketer. Actually Farzana's father was a big fan of cricket, that is why when he came to know that the boy is a cricketer, he immediately agreed to this marriage.
Aaqib Javed's wife's name is Farzana who is the sister of famous Pakistani singer Adil Burki. Farzana was raised in Lahore, Pakistan. She completed her education in Pakistan as well as Canada. She has worked as a journalist in major Urdu and English newspapers of Pakistan. Farzana also worked as a youth leader for the Human Rights Commission in Pakistan.

Aaqib Javed's wife Farzana is also a good poet. Her first book was published in 2008. Apart from this, her first English novel 'A Thousand Obolos Coins' was also published. This couple has a daughter who has no interest in cricket at all.

Coach Gambhir's message to young Team India ahead of England Test tour
India's head coach Gautam Gambhir has urged his squad to embrace the challenge of their upcoming Test series in England and turn it into a landmark moment in Indian cricket, especially in the absence of veterans Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R Ashwin, who have all recently retired from the longest format. The highly anticipated five-match series begins on June 20 at Headingley in Leeds, and India will be aiming for their first Test series victory on English soil since 2007. Speaking to Gambhir said, 'There are two perspectives, either we view this tour as a setback without our senior-most players, or we see it as a golden opportunity to create history for the nation.' Gambhir expressed confidence in the current squad, led by newly appointed Test captain Shubman Gill, praising their commitment and desire to succeed. 'What I see in this group is hunger, passion, and the will to fight. If we can sacrifice comfort and give our all in every moment, we can make this a tour to remember.' The former opener extended a warm welcome to several players, highlighting debutants and returnees alike. He praised B Sai Sudharsan, commending his recent batting form and encouraging him to aim for a long and successful red-ball career. Pacer Arshdeep Singh, known for his white-ball prowess, was also applauded, with Gambhir confident that his red-ball transition will be impactful. Gambhir lauds captain Gill Congratulating Shubman Gill on his elevation to captaincy, Gambhir said, 'There's no bigger honour than leading your country in Tests.' He also welcomed Rishabh Pant into the leadership group, acknowledging his growing role in the team. Gambhir was especially moved by Karun Nair's return to the squad after seven years, attributing it to his consistent domestic performance and resilient attitude. 'Comebacks aren't easy. Karun's journey is proof that determination pays off, and it's a source of inspiration for the entire group.' Karun expressed his gratitude for the opportunity, saying he was eager to make the most of his return. 'It means a lot to wear the India cap again. I'm looking forward to grabbing this chance with both hands,' he said. Captain Gill, meanwhile, urged his teammates to treat each practice session with intensity and purpose. 'Let's simulate pressure in the nets so we're prepared for tough moments in the series. It's not just about surviving, it's about finding out who we are as cricketers when tested,' he said. With fresh leadership, new faces, and a hunger to make history, Team India is aiming for more than just a win—they want to create a legacy in England.

Gen Z slang takes over: are you in or out ?
From Instagram comments to big screen dialogues, Generation Z (Gen Z) is making it impossible for anyone outside their bubble to keep up with or escape their 'unserious' vocabulary. 'Unserious' itself is a reference to Gen Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, who call themselves an unserious generation. Having grown up with smartphones and social media, this generational language gap is clearly reflected in the experience of V. Smitha, a homemaker in Kozhikode, who recalls her confusion when her daughter said, 'You slayed.' 'I thought that to slay means to kill; apparently, it means that I did well, or 'ate and left no crumbs,' as my kids would say,' she laughs, trying to keep up with the youth. 'Ghosting has nothing to do with ghosts either. It means ignoring someone without explanation,' Ms. Smitha adds. Expressions like pookie (endearment), rizz (charisma), aura (the energy a person emits), mid (average), bussin (delicious), and diva (a confident, attractive woman) dominate their daily conversations. Local slangs thantha-vibe (old-fashioned) and otta-mind (one-mind, when two or more people make spontaneous plans) are in vogue. Malayalam words such as 'aynu' (so what), 'oola' (useless), and 'poli' (cool) remain common usage even as they do employ phrases like 'scene annu' (trouble), 'oh scene/scene thanne' ( impressive), 'vere level' (super cool), 'bestie' (male or female friend seen as a potential threat in a relationship), 'valli' ( to get tangled in problems) and 'vazha' (useless) in conversations. While many parents struggle to keep up with the newgen lingo, P. Paul, a father to two Gen Z daughters, in Thripunithura, finds it easy. 'Kids think they're being cool by reusing old terms,' he says, adding that parents should be open to changing times and words. 'I do not understand why they judge us for using slang when they themselves had used them. Many of us still use terms like 'LOL' (laughing out loud) and 'yikes' (to express surprise, panic or disgust), which they coined and popularised,' says Sreya T, a 23-year-old English literature graduate, in Kozhikode. 'Most of the slang I use comes from Gen Alpha memes. We know what we mean by 'ohio' (bad), 'skibiddi' ( cool, bad or dumb, depending on the context), ' says G.S. Gautum, a postgraduate student in Palakkad. Reactions like 'kidu' and 'mass' (cool), which were once trendy, are outdated now. Swear words are the latest trend, though not everyone follows it. 'Some terms I thought were normal were actually offensive, but most of us are unaware,' Mariya Grace, a student in Ernakulam, says. 'It's natural for us chronically online people to use the Internet slang in daily conversations. It's nothing serious. Everyone just needs to take it lightly, as it's meant to be,' says Ananya Jimmy, a content writer, from Kannur. 'We have spent the entire lockdown period in 2020 scrolling on our phones. Memes and slang have become a part of our lives since then,' she adds. Although Gen Z is often crucified for using slang expressions, previous generations had their own, including 'chill out' (to calm down), 'bummer' (a disappointing situation), and 'wannabe' (someone who aspires to be like someone else) from the 'Boomers', and 'salty' (bitter), 'clap back' (a sharp and witty retort), and 'throw shade' (to subtly insult someone) from the Millennials, which Gen Z has borrowed and incorporated into their language.
