Second Pakistan-Bangladesh Test is moved by PCB from Karachi to Rawalpindi

Given that National Bank Stadium in Karachi is now undergoing built in anticipation of the Champions Trophy in 2025, the cricket board made this decision.

The PCB announced in a press release that it had decided to move the second ICC World Test Championship match to Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium due to the deployment of heavy construction equipment and the necessity to follow strict redevelopment schedules for the National Bank Stadium, which is being prepared for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 next year. It had also consulted with the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

Because of this decision, cricket fans and viewers may now watch both Test matches live, which provides a sneak peek at Pakistan’s next demanding international season. The national team will play at least 17 ODIs, 14 T20Is, and nine Tests between August 21 and April 5, inclusive, during this time.

The timelines for the venue’s preparedness have been provided by the specialists in construction. They said the cricketers would be disturbed by the noise pollution caused by the building, even if it was still possible to proceed during play.

“Moreover, the players, officials, broadcasters, and media may experience negative health effects from the dust from the building site.

“The PCB, after speaking with all stakeholders and examining operational and logistical considerations, has opted to conduct both Tests in Rawalpindi, given that construction must continue uninterrupted to ensure the venue is operationally ready for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

We will continue to collaborate closely with architects and construction specialists to ensure a safe and secure hosting of the match, keeping the England and Wales Cricket Board informed. At this time, we would prefer not to speculate about the hosting of the second Test in Karachi from October 15–19.

The first test of the series is set to take place on August 21 in Rawalpindi. From August 30 to September 3, however, is when the second Test match is supposed to take place.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
