Two Pakistani Teams

Recently, we have seen the pakistani international team in action after some time. A three-nil victory over west indies was really impressive. On the other side, Lahore Badshaw team has also proved their brilliance and excellence during the ICL tournament. Now, a question comes into the mind that which team is better, Lahore Badshaw team seems to be more experienced after the arrival of Muhammad Yousaf in the team. The team has good balance of experienced and young players.

Our international team had struggled in the last few months as they were unable to play even a single test match. I believe that pakistani team is capable to beat any other internation team in one day internationals but this team is not good enough to beat good sides like Australia in the test match. They need players like Muhammad Yousaf & Abdur Razzaq to be in the test squad of pakistan team. In my view, the exclusion of the ICL from offiicial cricket and the punishment of cricketers is an international disgrace and it caused some big problems for the cricket team of pakistan.

Impact of ICL on Cricket

In the last few years, twenty 20 cricket has changed the complexion of the game. Especially the emergence of ICL (Indian Cricket League) has guided the international cricket in an entirely different direction. Now, people who were previously not interested in watching long duration cricket matches have started taking interest in the shorter version of the cricket. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the credit goes to ICL because it has not only revolutionized the cricket style it has also encourged International Cricket Council to start their special event like IPL (Indian Premier League).

Indian Cricket League has also organized their strict training process at academies. Their training would include skill based - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual modules. This training would be provided by seasoned professionals. It shows their commitment and proves that ICL aims to produce quality individual in the cricket.

ICC officials are hopeful about the issue of recognition by International Cricket Council. They are in the process of conversation with the ICC officials to resolve the issue. Although ICC has not given them recognition but people around the world are loving this event.
