Pakistan contemplating name change

The Pakistan government is considering changing the name of the cricket board and the cricket team. Sources reveal that they have two options:

  • Ctrl-z-istan and Ctrl-z-istan Cricket Board
  • Undostan and Undostan Cricket Board

The decision will be revealed before the team plays its first game in the ICC Champions Trophy.

The government is looking at an urgent name change following the PCB’s decision to name Younis Khan as captain exactly two days after he quit as Inzamam’s stand-in.

If Mohammad Yousuf knew Tamil, he’d appreciate the saying Kai-ku yettinadhu vaaiku yettama pochu, approximately translated as “So near, yet so far”.

    Probably Pakistan cricket administration are way ahead of their time - for years they are implementing a method which none of the others are confident enough to use. It is called the skippersub.

    Well I suppose that is because no other team has the talent to copy it. Did I hear somewhere that they are the most naturally talented team in the world?
