On the other hemisphere, Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi claimed that Champions Trophy 2025 will be hosted by the country and there is no room for hybrid model. It was a good day for Indian pacers as well, as Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar found themselves named in the squads for Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Let’s take a look at all the top headlines from Monday.

However, he failed to fire in the 2nd innings as he was dismissed for just 17 runs.

He ruled out the possibility of a hybrid model, adding that the board has reached out to ICC to get some clarity on the issue. Naqvi was present at the Gadaffi stadium in Lahore to inspect the renovation work.
Jasprit Bumrah’s headache for 1st Test
The absence of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill is going to give Jasprit Bumrah and Gautam Gambhir a giant headache. As if coming from a humiliating defeat to New Zealand at home and tough Australian conditions weren’t enough, the Indian cricket team will now have to play the Perth Test with two handicaps, i.e., the absence of two of their top three. Rohit will not be a part of the side due to personal reasons. Meanwhile, Gill sustained an injury during the intra-squad match, leaving him all but ruled out for the Perth Test.
