A Pakistan journalist tried to troll Virat Kohli saying that he performs "when there's no pressure."

Before the 2021 T20 World Cup, Pakistan had never beaten India in a World Cup match, be it in the 50-over format, or the T20 editions.

Veteran batsman Shoaib Malik has been included in Pakistan's Twenty20 World Cup squad, replacing top order batsman Sohaib Maqsood.

The 27-year-old Sohaib Maqsood had a mediocre World Cup with 153 runs in six innings and was criticised for his lack of fitness during the showpiece event, won by Australia.

A well-informed source in the Pakistan Cricket Board said that the hierarchy of the Board had ruled out a comeback for either Kamran Akmal or Shoaib Malik in the one-day squad.

As India take on Pakistan in World Cup 2015, top players are grabbing a lot of attention from the odd makers for the wrong reasons.

Pakistan's newest batting star Sohaib Maqsood, who hit an unbeaten 93 in Monday's three-wicket warm-up win over Bangladesh, said he still watched footage of Inzamam-ul-Haq smashing Pakistan to victory in 1992.

The Pakistan Cricket Board said on Saturday that Ahmed Shehzad, who suffered a fracture on his skull during the first Test against New Zealand, has been advised rest from all contact sports for the next six weeks.

Sohaib Maqsood has a better chance of becoming Pakistan's T20I captain than veteran Shahid Afridi as sources say PCB feels he can lead the team to the T20I World Cup in 2016.

Chasing a Duckworth-Lewis target of 275 in 45 overs, Pakistan fought back after being 106-5 to scrape home off the penultimate ball of the match in Hambantota. Sohaib Maqsood remained unbeaten on a glorious 89 off 73 balls, while Fawad Alam scored 62.
