Ex-Pakistan pacer urges Babar, Rizwan to follow Kohli's example after Asia Cup snub: 'Consider retiring…'
Batting stars Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were overlooked by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for next month's Asia Cup in the UAE, with fellow seniors such as Shaheen Afridi and Fakhar Zaman getting included, and former pacer Tanveer Ahmed offered the duo a radical solution. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have been overlooked for the upcoming Asia Cup despite being Pakistan's leading run-scorers in the T20I format. PTI Pakistan batting stars Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been advised to follow Virat Kohli's footsteps and announce their retirement after getting overlooked by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the upcoming Asia Cup in the UAE. The only difference is that while Kohli remains active in One-Day Internationals, ex-Pakistan pacer Tanveer Ahmed has advised Babar and Rizwan to retire from international cricket altogether in order to preserve their 'respect', his comment causing quite the stir on social media. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Unlike Babar and Rizwan, senior pacer Shaheen Afridi has been included along with senior pacers Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali as well as veteran opener Fakhar Zaman in the 17-man squad led by Salman Agha. 'Meri Babar Azam aur Rizwan say request hai ager ap log yeh samajhtey hain ap logon ke izzat nahi ha tou retirement ley lo international cricket say humarey samne virat kohli ke examples hain. @babarazam258, @iMRizwanPak izzat apney hath main ha (My request to Babar Azam and Rizwan is that if you feel your respect is not intact, then consider retiring from international cricket. We have examples of Virat Kohli in front of us. Babar and Rizwan, respect is in your hands),' Tanveer tweeted. How Babar and Rizwan fell out of favour in the shortest format Babar and Rizwan had starred in Pakistan's historic victory over India in Dubai, where the arch-rivals will square off on 14 September, in the 2021 T20 World Cup. It was the first time Pakistan had ever defeat India in a World Cup match – either ODI or T20. The duo had also played a key role in guiding the Men in Green to the T20 World Cup final the very next year, with Pakistan falling short in the final hurdle against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Their T20 stocks, however, nosedived after Pakistan's dismal campaign in last year's T20 World Cup in the United States and the Caribbean, where they crashed out in the first round following defeats against co-hosts USA as well as India. Kohli had retired from T20Is along with Rohit Sharma after the two superstars propelled India to victory in last year's T20 World Cup. The two would also announce their retirement from the Test format within a week of one another in May, nearly half-a-year after a their underwhelming run in the five-match Test series against Australia Down Under. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD While Rohit's retirement was largely along expected lines, it's was Kohli's Test retirement that took the cricketing world by surprise, leading to an outpouring of tributes.

Chris Morris namedrops Aiden Markram as one of the biggest draws at SA20 auction
With the SA20 auction fast approaching, former South Africa all-rounder Chris Morris believes Aiden Markram will be one of the headline attractions when the bidding war begins on September 9 in Johannesburg. "Sunrisers haven't retained him, but they do have a right-to-match card, meaning they can match the final bid for him and retain his services," Morris explained, as quoted from SA20. Chris Morris believes Aiden Markram will be one of the headline attractions in the SA20 auction. (AFP) "That opens the door for mind games -- other teams could bid aggressively to push his price high enough to make it difficult for the Sunrisers to bring him back," he noted. Morris identified two franchises that could make a strong play for the Proteas batter. "Two teams stand out to me: MI Cape Town, which would solve their captaincy question -- not that Rashid Khan is doing a bad job -- but having a successful local international captain at number four would be a big boost, especially since they've released Rassie van der Dussen, leaving a vacancy at number three. The other is Pretoria Capitals, who have one of the largest remaining purses. He's a local player, would fill their captaincy role, slot in at number three, and bring strong leadership after Rilee Rossouw's stint last year. Either way, Aiden Markram is going to be hot property," he added. The SA20 has grown rapidly since its launch, and last year's auction saw almost 600 players register from across the globe. This year's list of retained and pre-signed stars already boasts big names such as Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, and England's Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. As per an SA20 press release, each team was permitted a maximum of 6 retained or pre-signed players, comprising a maximum of three South African and three overseas players, during the player retention window, which closed on 18 July. The teams also strategically completed their six wildcard signings, with all the focus now on the remaining slots and the collective maximum purse of USD 7.4 million, to be spent on the 84 available slots at the auction on 9 September in Johannesburg. For Season 4, a Wildcard player could be any overseas player or a South African player who was part of the team's squad in Season 3. The new season kicks off on December 26, with the auction in early September expected to set the tone for another blockbuster edition of South Africa's premier T20 league.

BCCI must protect fans' interest at World Cups
Even if it's an ICC event, this seems to be a uniquely Indian problem at the moment. The public pre-sale of ticket ballots for next year's Women's T20 World Cup in the UK finished last week; for an event scheduled for June-July 2026, the winners will be notified by this September. Just to drive home the point, there is also no word on the ticketing process or schedule for the next men's T20 World Cup, scheduled in India and Sri Lanka in February-March 2026. Announcing the basics such as ticketing and the schedule gives fans the opportunity to plan their leaves and sort out their travel in advance. But another World Cup in India is in danger of not hosting too many overseas fans because the authorities are once again shortchanging the cricket-loving public. Nobody doubts their ability to bring in a lot of money and organise glamorous events, but they keep failing at the fundamentals needed for any event. Both the ICC and the BCCI will do well to remember that fans are the lifeblood of any sport, and there's only so much they would be willing to suffer before walking away.
