This was the first tour match between Pakistan team and Kent county club at their home ground. It is first game of Pakistan on their tour to England in 2019 before they join Cricket world cup. Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first and it was proved right by Pakistan team as they batted really well after so long. opening partnership of 92 was very good to give down order batsmen a good start. Imam was first man to go on 39 runs. Babar could not score much and went shortly after that. Fakhar Zaman played impressive innings facing 59 balls and he scored 76 runs.

International Cricket leagues- the future of cricket

The game of cricket was know as the gentlemen's game as all the players used be gentle and the way it was played. it was pleasure to watch the cricket from 60's until 90's. there was more of test cricket than any other like One day international. Imagine sitting in summer in lords in the sunshine with shorts on and a glass of beer in hand and watching a game between England and Australia. It really was fun and people used to go to watch test cricket as they spend time out and enjoy fantastic game too. Then came the age of T20's which is very fast format of cricket and made this gentlemen's game very fast. This dramatic change was needed because of change in the way people spend time around and with the advancement of technology and other things, it has made everything very fast.  Main aim behind bringing this game into international cricket was to make it popular like football. as football game usually lasts for around 1.5 to 2 hours and people get to enj

cricinfo.com , the top website which provide cricket news , score and match previews has recently announced their all time world 11 for the world cups. many people are not happy with the team selected. cricinfo stated that team is selected by looking at the performance of the players and their role in the world cups played.

Adam was chosen because of his batting style and his record in the world cup as wicket keeper, whereas Kumar Sangakara was chosen because

I have seen at many places that people are not happy with MS Dhoni's inclusion in Cricket World cup 2019. Many of those believe that MS dhoni is scrap from mind and body and his style of doing batting is not acceptable in the current era of cricket.                                             A Cricket Team's ultimate aim is always to win the match or mega event. They have to balance the team for this reason with plenty of batsmen and then handsome bowling attack. they also have to look on the fielding side too if its any good. Week keeping is another area where team needs strong players as it is so crucial in winning the game. People normally only look at the batting skills of the MS and they overlook other credentials in the cricket match. MS Dhoni has key role is winning the matches as his presence gives captain the confidence. Expert advice is always available in his presence. Even though Virat Kohli is captain from some time but in the absence of MS his body langu
