‘Selectors have told me to be ready for white-ball cricket': Khurram Shahzad
Speaking at the post-match press conference following Quetta's dominant 10-wicket victory over Multan Sultans, Shahzad said, 'The selectors have told me to start preparing for white-ball cricket.'
The 25-year-old fast bowler was instrumental in the Gladiators' win last night, finishing with figures of 4 for 23 and dismantling the Sultans' top order. His consistent performances have made him one of the standout bowlers of the tournament so far, with 8 wickets in just three matches.
Shahzad reflected on his performance and the bowling-friendly surface at the post-match presentation: 'I was fully prepared, and I'm glad the results showed today. In T20s, you usually get flat pitches, but there was something in it for the bowlers this time. My focus was on hitting the right lengths and attacking the stumps.'

He also highlighted the importance of teamwork within the Gladiators' pace unit.
'As fast bowlers, we communicated really well. I always aim to take wickets in the powerplay with the new ball. When you bowl in partnerships, you often see the results, exactly what happened for us today.'
Shahzad's recent form and growing maturity with the ball have sparked speculation about his potential debut in Pakistan's limited-overs squads.
With a T20 World Cup around the corner, his inclusion could offer Pakistan a fresh pace option.
The Gladiators, revitalised this season, remain unbeaten, with Khurram playing a key role in their resurgence.

Former Australia captain and coach Simpson dies at 89
SYDNEY: Former Australia test captain Bob Simpson, who ushered in the country's modern-day golden era of cricket as its coach, has died aged 89, Cricket Australia said on Saturday. Simpson played 62 tests between 1957 and 1978, scoring 4,869 runs, including 10 hundreds, and claimed 71 wickets with his leg spin following his debut on a tour of South Africa. Simpson, one of the greatest slip fielders the game has ever seen, initially retired from the game in 1968 before returning as test captain at the age of 41 after several front-line Australian players had joined the World Series Cricket in 1977. 'Bob Simpson was one of the greats of Australian cricket, and this is a sad day for anyone fortunate to have watched him play or who benefited from his wisdom,' said Cricket Australia Chair Mike Baird. 'As a brilliant opening batter, incredible slips fielder and handy spin bowler, Bob was a mainstay of a very strong Australian team in the 1960s, and he became a leader across the game as Australian and New South Wales captain and as a coach.' 'Bob's decision to come out of retirement to successfully lead the Australian team during the advent of World Series Cricket in 1977 was a wonderful service to the game, and his coaching set the foundation for a golden generation for Australian cricket.' As coach, Simpson is credited with instilling discipline in an Australia side led by Allan Border, which went on to win the 1987 World Cup and regained both the Ashes and the Frank Worrell Trophy. Leg-spin great Shane Warne called Simpson the best coach he played under and someone who helped his development. Simpson also coached Lancashire and the Netherlands and worked as a consultant with the Indian team in the late 1990s. 'Bob Simpson's extraordinary service to Australian cricket spanned generations,' Prime Minister Anthony Albanese wrote on X. 'As a player, captain and then era-defining coach, he set the highest of standards for himself and the champions he led. He will be long remembered by the game he loved.'

Lloyd concerned over WTC tier plan
The West Indies' place in the World Test Championship (WTC) could be under threat if the International Cricket Council (ICC) goes ahead with plans for a two-tier system. Under the proposal, teams would be split into divisions based on performance, and with the Caribbean side finishing eighth out of nine in all three editions so far — and losing all three of their Tests in the current cycle to Australia — they risk being relegated to the lower tier. The possibility is one that stakeholders in West Indies cricket are taking seriously. Legendary former captain Clive Lloyd has voiced his concerns about "being in that group for a hundred years," while Cricket West Indies (CWI) officials are determined to ensure their voice is heard in the discussions. "All of that we have a role to play [in], we have a seat at the table at the ICC," CWI chief executive Chris Dehring said during a press conference after an emergency meeting in Trinidad on Sunday and Monday. The meeting followed West Indies' dramatic collapse for just 27 runs at Sabina Park against Australia. "We have to just stay abreast as close as possible to all the changes that could happen, position ourselves, hedging our bets so to speak, to make sure we are in there as West Indies cricket no matter which way the wind blows and try to take advantage of it." The ICC last month formed a working group, headed by former New Zealand batter Roger Twose, to explore ways to improve the WTC ahead of the 2025-2027 cycle. A two-tier system was a key point of discussion at the ICC's annual conference in July, with Twose expected to make recommendations to the board in due course. The idea of a two-division Test structure has been debated for over 15 years, with ICC members split on its merits. Lloyd, who joined other former greats such as Brian Lara and Viv Richards at the CWI meeting, stressed the need to address the ICC's revenue distribution model. He argued that the West Indies' historical contribution to the game should be acknowledged despite their recent decline. "We have to look at what's happening at the ICC with the shareout of the money. India, Australia and England get 180 million and West Indies will get 80 million like Bangladesh and Afghanistan, and we are just two years out of being in that group for 100 years," Lloyd said. "To me, it's not right. We have to stand up. We have to go to the ICC and ask for special dispensation. Because when we were in the ascendancy, and we were playing so well, everyone wanted to play with us. The two-time World Cup-winning captain also emphasised the importance of fair financial distribution in international cricket, highlighting the West Indies' role in generating significant revenue for the sport. "We were playing Australia very often, with England very often, and when we went to Pakistan or India, getting millions of people [to the grounds]. We need to get a better share of the pie, because we were the cash cows for a long time. And we need to get some of that. I am hoping the board follows up on that recommendation where we can be adequately given the money that is needed."

Ganguly opens up about Kohli, Rohit's retirement
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have already retired from T20Is and Tests. Photo: AFP/File Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Sunday responded to reports suggesting Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma could retire from One Day Internationals following India's three-match series against Australia in October. Speaking at an event in Ahmedabad, Ganguly said he is unaware of any such decision and believes performance should be the only factor in deciding their ODI futures. "I'm not aware of this, can't comment on this. Whoever does well will play. If they do well, they should continue," Ganguly remarked. Ganguly also lauded their contributions to Indian cricket, noting their crucial roles in helping India win the Champions Trophy earlier this year. "It's difficult to say. But Kohli's one-day record is phenomenal, even Rohit Sharma's. Both of them are phenomenal in white-ball cricket," said. Earlier, Kohli and Sharma are reportedly set to retire from One Day Internationals (ODIs) later this year, following their recent retirements from Test and T20 formats. The veteran duo, who have already stepped away from Tests and T20 internationals, Kohli retiring from Tests in May 2025 and both calling time on their T20I careers after India's 2024 T20 World Cup victory, continue to represent India in the 50-over format. According to a report, both players are expected to feature for the last time in their careers during the upcoming ODI series against Australia scheduled for October 2025. Despite their continued presence in ODIs, speculation is mounting that this series might mark the final chapter of their international careers in the format. Reports suggest that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) does not currently see Kohli and Sharma as part of the core plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup. Reports claim that to remain in contention for the national ODI squad beyond this series, both players may be required to participate in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, India's premier domestic one-day tournament, starting December 2025. This move could effectively push Kohli and Sharma towards announcing their retirement from international cricket after the Australia series. A source told Indian media, "Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma do not fit into our plans for the 2027 ODI World Cup. "With more than two years to go before the event and both players nearing 40 by then, there needs to be a clear strategy. We also need to nurture young talent for the future."
