'PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi Could Not Even...': Ex-Pakistan Coach Jason Gillespie's Harsh Dig
Former Pakistan red-ball coach Jason Gillespie has taken a dig at Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi for the latter's absence from a crucial team-building session for the senior men's cricket team. The session was named "Connection Camp". Gillespie has alleged that while he and then white-ball coach of the team, Gary Kirsten, flew from Australia and South Africa, respectively, to be in person for the session, Naqvi got connected online. "Gary came up with this great idea of a connection camp. Everyone in Pakistan cricket basically shared their experiences in that meeting. I flew in from Australia, Gary flew in from South Africa, the Chairman Mohsin Naqvi dialed in Zoom," Gillespie told The Howie Games podcast, as quoted by Cricket Pakistan. "He is based in Lahore, but he did not come, while Gary came in from Africa. We both felt that the Chairman could not even drive 20 minutes to come here - that was a bit unusual," he added. The connection camp was organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board on September 23, 2024. It was done with an aim to improve communication, bonding, and performance in the national team. Senior players like Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Saud Shakeel, Shadab Khan, and Shan Masood were part of the session. Notably, Gillespie and Gary Kirsten were appointed as the red-ball and white-ball head coaches of Pakistan cricket team in April last year on two-year contracts, but seven-eight months down the line, they resigned citing issues with the PCB over their authority. In a major development regarding its men's selection committee, the PCB recently confirmed that four out of the five members will continue in their roles. The panel will still include Azhar Ali, Asad Shafiq, Aaqib Javed, and former umpire Aleem Dar, as per ESPNcricinfo. The only adjustment involves Usman Hashmi, who has been appointed as the new data analyst, replacing Hassan Cheema. However, unlike Cheema, Hashmi will not hold voting rights and will serve purely in the selection committee. Reports of a complete overhaul had gained momentum recently, prompting the PCB to release an official statement refuting such reports. Interestingly, the statement also hinted at a more inclusive approach moving forward--suggesting that both the head coach and the captain of each format would now be consulted in the team selection process.

Govt set to roll out new excise policy with focus on transparency & quality
New Delhi: Govt is going to roll out a new excise policy soon to ensure the availability of quality liquor to Delhiites, the chief minister's office stated on Friday. Chief minister Rekha Gupta said the new policy would incorporate several reforms in the excise system, including scientific testing of liquor quality, digitisation of the sales system, strict action against illegal sales and transparency in the licensing process. Gupta mentioned that a committee, led by chief secretary Dharmendra Kumar, was working on every aspect with great attention to detail. The committee is holding consultations with stakeholders and studying best practices implemented in other states to prepare a comprehensive excise policy, she said, adding that the exercise is scheduled to be completed by June 30. This will make the sale and distribution system transparent, modern and accountable, Gupta emphasised. Govt is committed to ensuring that no aspect of the policy negatively affects sensitive sections of society and that the safety, health and peace of vulnerable communities are not compromised in any way, CMO stated. The high-level committee is reviewing the excise policies of several states to adopt best practices that prioritise not only effective liquor distribution but also social protection, it added. The committee will also review the current and previous excise policies of Delhi govt, with the excise department providing all necessary administrative support to the committee. The final policy recommendations will be submitted before govt for suitable action. CM Gupta said, "We consider the trust of the people of Delhi paramount. Learning from past mistakes of the previous govt, we are bringing a policy that will leave no room for corruption at any level." She added that public awareness campaigns would be launched to curb the misuse of liquor and strict monitoring would be done to prevent consumption at public places. The current policy, in place since Sept 2022, was brought in after the scrapping of the 2021-22 policy, which was withdrawn following a CBI probe into alleged irregularities. It became a key poll plank for BJP in the assembly poll in Feb. Delhi govt has extended the current policy until June 30, 2025, to ensure continuity in liquor supply. The review of excise policies from other states is aimed at incorporating successful models that have delivered impactful results in areas such as revenue generation, control over the illegal liquor trade, consumer protection and maintaining social balance, CMO stated. Gupta said social security would remain the top priority under the new policy. "Govt will ensure that the policy does not adversely impact sensitive sections of society. From this perspective, the new policy will not just be a financial document, but one that emphasises social balance and public accountability. It will ensure there is no compromise on the safety, health and peace of the vulnerable segments of society," she said. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .
