First I'd like to see one radical change in funding criteria, no funding based on test format and if you want to play test cricket then fund yourself, there is no need to subsidize if it's loss making affair for you, make your test bilaterals profitable if you want to play and if it's too radical approach then fix some percentage of ICC revenue to 20-30% for test cricket.
After that all the icc revenue should be shared by everyone one equally but for only white ball cricket ( strictly focus on white ball). Fund the top 50 teams including associates. If this happens then in white ball, cricket will become truly global.
PS: I bet this proposal won't get a single vote from full test nations Lol
Funding should be based on performance and nothing else. And only performance in the ICC tournaments should be considered (T20, ODI and Test world cups for both men and women). Australian won the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, and India were the runners up. India won the 2024 Men's T20 World Cup, and Proteas came second. The ICC World Test Championship for 2023-25 was won by South Africa. So obviously these teams should get the maximum funding. On the other hand, there is no justification in providing 3% of all the ICC funds to teams like Zimbabwe, when Nepal receives only around 0.05%. Thank you for your meanning full comment for above reading. I know the victory team will get maximam amount of support. On the other hand, ICC should provide a few extra amounts of support to the new entry team to fund the top 50 teams, including associates.

Today, the match will be held between Bangladesh A vs Pakistan A. Also, we see the playing of both teams, the Bangladeshi players are so much stronger in this Rising Stars Asia Cup. I think the final match has already been held against the India A team. When India loses the match, then everyone knows that Bangladesh A will win the final match. Best of luck, Bangladesh A team. Especially Habibur Rahaman Sohan and Akbar Ali the Captain.

This series was mainly a preventive one, because Bangladesh whitewashed Afghanistan in the T20 series. And Afghanistan took revenge by whitewashing Bangladesh in the ODI series, but Bangladesh lost the last third match badly. Only Saif Hossain scored double figures and all the other players scored single figures. Was this game only for Saif Hossain? Or was it the responsibility of all the players to perform well? Where many top batsmen performed poorly in the second and third matches, why is there less responsibility on them?
If we see the laat few overs there played well Bangladeshi top order batsmen. Last few years they played badly in top order where we can see the past and present. It’s a shame for a nation for nursing top order. Very recent they displayed their top order performance. Yes, it’s a revenge of Afghanistan's players. Tits for tat. Congratulations Mahammad Nabi's Afghanistan.

Where did the Afghanistan captain go with such arrogant words? They even declared themselves as the second strongest team in Asia. This proves that Allah gives concessions but does not give up! If Mohammad Nabi had not gotten that life, then the innings would have ended in Afghanistan within 130 runs. Kusal Mendis' outstanding game has been taken away. Kusal's game was truly extraordinary. Kamil Mishara is not a very experienced player. I cannot understand why Sri Lanka dropped Kamil Mishara at one down. The victory that Sri Lanka got in the end is a great achievement for Sri Lanka. Congratulations to Sri Lanka for winning three matches unbeaten. In fact, yesterday, the Bangladeshi players were excited to see in the gallery. They seemed to be glowing with joy at Sri Lanka's victory. Tomorrow is Bangladesh's game with Sri Lanka. Hopefully, Sri Lanka will maintain their winning streak. Now the question is how much the Bengalis will give up to Sri Lanka.

Asia Cup Third Match
It is Bangladesh first game and they will not want to start with loss and win this match. Hong Kong is playing their second match and we know they have lost first match badly from Afghanistan in their first game.
I think Bangladeshi players are now much stronger, thanks to their new young talent. Tanzib Tamim, Emon, Captain Liton Das, Finisher Jakir Ali, and the one and only Catter Master Mustafizur Rahman. I hope Bangladesh will win the match today.

Again, the world-famous Cricket Tournament will be hosted in India, but this tournament will be held UAE. The 1st match will be held between AFG vs Hong Kong. AFG will win the match by a big run distance. Yesterday, the 2nd match was held by the UAE vs India. UAE played 13.1 balls and scored 57 runs only. To chase the runs, India lost 1 important wicket. India played only 4.3 overs to win the match. Today, the 3rd match will be held between Bangladesh vs Hong Kong. I think today the match will be most interesting. Now Bangladesh Cricket Teams are most strongest for new young talent. Have a look to enjoy the match!

Recently I noticed that some casinos offer an option they call 'play for fun' and 'real play', which are also the same things as 'demo mode' and 'real funded account play mode'.
"Fun Play" appears to be an attractive point of investment because the "Fun Play" algorithm, designed by their developers, features. Here, you can only lose more and more money or not win majorly of the time. Very little time they lose the practice mode. On the other hand, winning the demo mode, many people invest their real money and lose, lose, and cown-down lose. It's the features of casinos.

Babar Azam was given lots of chances but he failed to regain his form in last two years. By the way two years is a hell amount of time in international cricket. Azam last century came against Nepal in August 2023 and since then he hasn't scored century in any format. It's best time for Babar Azam to go back and play domestic cricket to regain his form that will help him in making a strong come back in international cricket. It's good decision by PCB to move ahead with new team and give out of form players rest.
Well let me clear even in his down fall of two year he got part of 2024 icc t20 team of thier year and scored 9 half centuries with 6 in t20 through out the year 2024 and rest at other formats, while now at 2025 he hasn't played any t20 match and still have 6 half centuries and such era of baber azam were considering as a down fall is it really???. I mean it's like a supreme time of carrer for several average other players. I don't know why PCB think baber Azam will be responsible of each and every defeat like it's game of team, but not individual so Instead of blaming and degrading him focus on other to make sure they done thier part job. I appreciated your writing about Babor Azam. He scored 9 half-centuries in 2024 in the T20 format. It's not a very small score for the T20 format. Many time the audience blame him for the defeat. But they totally forget that cricket is a team game. There is the same responsibility for every player, not only Babor Azam. Only Babor Azam can't carry the whole cricket team's performance. The PCB should focus more on strengthening the overall squad and ensuring every player performs their role, rather than putting unnecessary pressure on Babar.

SA Vs AUS , 3rd T20 The third and final T20 match between Australia and South Africa will be played today, with Australia winning the first and South Africa winning the second in the previous two matches, leveling the series. Today's match is the final match for both the teams and the team that wins this match will win the series. In the first match, South Africa almost lost the match but in the second match, South Africa defeated Australia by 53 runs. However, looking at past performance, it seems that South Africa is likely to win today's match and I would bet on South Africa. Which team will you be on?
I wish that South Africa has a good start whether they are batting first or bowling first. In the last game, when they started the innings, Aiden Markram and the top order missed out to make runs and didn't give a good start to the team but then the middle order player Dewald Brevis arrived and played a long innings of over 100 runs in less than 60 balls. Due to this innings, the team won that game, we want same energy by Dewald Brevis today again but at the same time, each player needs to give their 100 percent then the team will be able to win the series. Dewald Brevis is the dependant in the last 2 matches against Australian players. Also, in this match he played a strong performance, like 53 from 26 balls, only hitting 6 sixes and 1 four. His strike rate is 203. It's a very strong strike rate for him. South Africa collected 172 runs, which is not much more to win this match, but if the bowling line plays well, then it will win the match. South African players now need to pick up wickets early, and then it will be in favour of South Africa. On the other hand, Australian players are big ones to play in cricket, like top-order batsman and Maxwell.

El Salvador continues its daily Bitcoin buys, now holding 6,258 BTC xEl Salvador purchased 200 BTC in 2021, but since 2022, they have been buying and holding Bitcoin continuously. El Salvador is in 6th position among government BTC holders. I hope that if Salvador collects Bitcoin for another four to five years, it will achieve 4th position among government BTC holders, but it is true that this path will not be so easy. I hope that in the future every country will become a strong Bitcoin holder like El Salvador. El Salvador has made significant technological advancements in its economic condition, having already confirmed its 6th position in terms of HODL BTC. El Salvador’s shows long-term vision and commitment, which not only strengthens its position in the global crypto world but also sets an inspiring example for other nations to adopt innovative financial strategies for future economic growth.

Pakistan failed to bat well at the beginning and end of the innings. The team scored 133 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs. There is no way to call this a good total. And it does not seem possible to win such a small target.
It is really tough to win this small targets. If the pitch is not batting friendly. Even then, if the batsmen can stay at the crease, West Indies can easily reach the target of victory. If the target was around 150, then there is no doubt that the match would have been very competitive. Pakistani batsmen performed very badly in this match. The West Indies team also lost wickets quickly. But this is not a big problem. Since the target is small. West Indies lost two wickets for 26 runs. The team's collection is 41 runs in 7 overs. West Indies need only 93 runs to win in 78 balls. If West Indies do not suddenly lose 2/3 wickets quickly, then they will not face any big problem in winning this match. Mohammad Nawaz took both wickets. He took both wickets by giving away only 6 runs in 2 overs. If the Pakistani bowlers can take the wickets of Rutherford and Shai Hope before the 10th over, the match will become competitive again. West Indies may have a small target to chase, but their batsmen haven't looked confident so far. Wickets are falling, and no wonder their required run rate is slowly rising. If Pakistan can remove more key players then the match could shift quickly. West Indies bowlers did their job well, but their batting still looks shaky. But this is T20 cricket, so anything can happen in just a few overs. Pakistani bowlers must stay focused to turn this into a winning opportunity. Everyone predicted that the West Indies would be defeated by Pakistan, but a miracle occurred when Pakistan defeated the West Indies. Here we could see that the West Indies players looked poor from Pakistan. Pakistan gave a very small target to win West Indies. Jason Holder picked 4 wickets from Pakistan. He picked 4 important wickets that turned the match win into a defeat. He was the hero of this victory. If the West Indies continue this performance in the upcoming match, then they will again win.

In the first test innings, India started their innings badly. Very fast India lost a big wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal (2) and KL Rahul (14), the the next batter came and went one by one, a little score. The total score India collected was 224 runs. 224 runs was a very poor score in a test careerand to chase this figure of runs, England face a very critical environment. The top 5 players' small contributions help them overcome that score. At least England collected 247 runs, and a very small amount of runs, which gives a lead. In the 2nd inning, India recovered to fight against England. 2nd innings, India collected 396 runs and gave England a smart of runs target to win. In 2nd innings, Indian batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal (118), Akash Deep (66), Ravindra Jadeja (53), and Washington Sundar (53) had a great result. To reach the targeted runs, England has already collected 50 from 1 wicket. I think England will fulfill the targeted runs and win the match.

New Zealand collected 254 runs from losing 7 important wickets. I know New Zealand will win the match, but I think they will reach a smart figure of runs against Zimbabwe. But really, the score upset me rapidly. The top leading players of New Zealand are disappointing their nation in this game.

So we expect the price of Bitcoin to exceed $1 million in the future, so do not focus on the price but focus on accumulating Bitcoin. The more Bitcoin you accumulate now, the more profit you will make in the future. Many countries have started to hold reserves in Bitcoin, and world-famous companies have started to invest in Bitcoin, so Bitcoin will become more valuable in the future.
A Bitcoin holder must look to the future, not to the current price of Bitcoin. We have seen Bitcoin in the past and the present. The current state of Bitcoin is characteristic of Bitcoin. I was first introduced to Bitcoin when the price of Bitcoin was $230. The price of that Bitcoin has now exceeded $123K. Can you imagine? If today's price $119K. I think it will be up soon. So Bitcoin's goal of one million dollars will be achieved. So those of you who want to hold Bitcoin. Look to the future, not to the current price of Bitcoin. Now, most countries in the world are trying to keep Bitcoin in their reserves. It is the future that the more Bitcoin a country can hold, the more prosperous that country will be.

I have posted about this before that Zimbabwe's Test career was ended. They were all out for 149 runs on the first day of the Test match. Which is a shame for Test history. If New Zealand had come out to bat first, it turned out that the New Zealand player could have broken Lara's record. Maybe we will see another new record very soon, against Zimbabwe.
