Even though Pakistan was not able to advance to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinals, a few of its well-known cricket experts made news during the competition by making odd remarks. Claims have emerged from Pakistan during the tournament regarding the provision of special balls by the ICC to Indian bowlers, which helps them to swing the ball more, and the alteration of the pitch, which helps them to bundle out the opposition. Ramiz Raja, a former cricket player for Pakistan who is now a broadcaster, recently made the absurd assertion that NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) experts are in charge of determining the diet of famed football player Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ramiz Raja is receiving a lot of trolling after the video went viral on social media.
“Ronaldo’s diet plan set by NASA scientists.” : Ramiz Raza.

Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi has been named the T20I captain, while Shan Masood has been designated the new Test captain following Babar’s departure. However, the PCB has not yet revealed who will captain the Pakistan ODI team.
Inzamam ul Haq resigned from the PCB midway through the World Cup, and former fast bowler Wahab Riaz was named Chief Selector. The PCB has also made a number of other administrative changes. Additionally, Mohammad Hafeez, a former all-rounder for Pakistan, has been named the team director of the men’s cricket team.
Australia and Pakistan will next face off in a three-match Test series.
In addition, the Pakistan men’s side has appointed cricket players Umar Gul and Saeed Ajmal as its bowling instructors, resulting in changes to the coaching positions as well. Ajmal has been named the team’s spin bowling coach, while Gul has been named the fast bowling coach.
In the meantime, Pakistan will aim to do well in the forthcoming three-match Test series against Australia beginning on December 14, following a number of managerial changes.
