Cricketing trends on social media today
Here is what the cricketing community was talking about in the last 24 hours.
The cricketing trends on social media revolved around the Pakistan cricket team in specific, for the good and bad reasons. Monday morning began on a worst possible note for cricket lovers across the globe as they learned about the demise of Asif Ali’s 2-year-old daughter. His daughter Noor Fatima was battling cancer in the USA and it was announced this Monday morning that she had passed. This tragic news came in like a hammer blow to the entire cricketing universe.
Pakistan cricket team was in the news for some other reasons well. They made three changes in the World Cup squad which was announced last month. Asif Ali, Mohammad Amir and Wahab Riaz were called up in place of Abid Ali, Junaid Khan and the under-performing Faheem Ashraf. Whilst some fans really appreciated the call-ups, some expressed disappointment after Junaid was left out despite not being in a bad form.
Some final cricket will be played tomorrow in Scotland and Ireland before the World Cup warm-up matches kick-start. Ireland will be hosting Afghanistan after defeating them in the first game comprehensively whilst the Scottish will be desperate to get some cricketing action after watching so many games get washed away in recent times. All the teams involved in the World Cup are likely to be heading to the home of cricket in the next few days.
