نجم سیٹھی اور پاکستان کرکٹ کا 2017

2017 پاکستان کیلئے بین القوام کرکٹ کی بحالی اور خوشیوں کا سال ثابت ہوا


تحریر : ادریس ملک 

جنوری 2017 کا پہلا سورج جب طلوع ہوا تھا تو کسی کے وہم و گما ن میں بھی نہیں تھا کہ پاکستان کرکٹ پر مارچ 2009 سے چھائی ہوئی بین القوامی بہاروں کے کالہ گھٹا یک دم چھٹ جائے گی ، اور کرکٹ کے شائیقین قذافی سٹیڈئم لاہور کے خوبصورت سٹیدئم میں اپنے پسندیدہ کرکٹرز کو کھیلتے ہوئے دیکھ سکیں گے ، کرکٹ تجزیہ کاروں ، پنڈتوں ، اور چاہنے والون کی سماعتوں سے صرف ایک جملہ بار بار ٹکرا رہا تھا جو یک نقطی دعوی پر مشتمل تھا کہ پاکستان سپر لیگ کا فائنل لاہور میں کھیلا جائے گا ، کچھ اسے بھڑک قرار دیتے تھے اور کچھ اسے بے پر کی اڑانا کہہ رہے تھے ۔ لیکن چند ایک لکھاری ، کھیل کے حواری اور کرکٹ کے پجاری یہ بھی سمجھتے تھے کہ ایسا ممکن ہے ، بات صرف لگن کی ہے اور یہ لگن نجم سیٹھی نے پاکستان سپر لیگ کے پہلے ایڈیشن میں ممکنات کی صورت میں دکھا کر سب پر دھاک بٹھا رکھی تھی انہیں لکھاریوں اور پجاریوں میں ایک راقم کا نام بھی تھے جس سے بعض اوقات قریب ترین دوست اور سنئیر سپورٹس جرنسلٹ بھی اختلاف کرتے نظر آ ئے (نام ان کی محبت کی وجہ سے نہیں لکھا جا رہا ) ، پی ایس ایل کے دوسرے ایڈیشن کو فکنسگ کے ناسور نے بھی داغدار کرنے کی کوشش کی جس کا علاج تاحال جاری ہیں ، لیکن  (پی ایس ایل ٹو کا فائنل )نہ صرف یہ بارش کا پہلا اوربھر پورقطرہ قذا فی سٹیڈئم کے میدان پر برسا بلکہ اس نے آنے والے تمام راستے بھی آ سان کر دیئے ،
پاکستان کرکٹ ٹیم جب چیمپئنز ٹرافی کھیلنے کیلئے ویسٹ انڈیز سے ایک روزہ اور ٹی ٹونٹی سیریز جیت کر انگلینڈ پہنچی اور پہلے ہی میچ میں روایتی حریف بھارت کے ہاتھوں شکست ہوئی تو میرے سمیت ہر ایک کا خیال تھا کہ اب پاکستان کرکٹ ٹیم کا چیمپئنز ٹرافی کا سفر تمام ہو چکا اور گروپ سٹیج کے بعد واپسی   طے ہے ۔ لیکن جنوبی افریقہ کے خلاف بارش رحمت کی صورت میں برسی جیسے 1992 کے آ سٹریلیا میں کھیلے جانے والے ورلڈ کپ میں انگلینڈ  کے خلاف کھیلے جانے والے میچ میں برسی تھی ، اس بارش کا برسنا تھا کہ پاکستان کرکٹ ٹیم کے کارنرڈ ٹائیگرز نے جست لگائی جس کا قسمت نے بھر پور ساتھ دیا، سری لنکا کو شکست دینے کے بعد تاریخ نے انگڑائی لی اور ناقابل شکست اور ٹورنامنٹ کی فیورٹ ترین میزبانی ٹیم انگلینڈ کے خلاف سیمی فائنل میں کامیابی حاصل ہوئی ، یہ کامیابی نہ صرف پاکستان  کی  1992 میں مارٹن کرو کی کیویز الیون کے مترادف تھی بلکہ اس نے یہ بھی طے کر دیا کہ اب روایتی حریف کے خلاف عالمی مقابلوں میں شکست کا بت بھی ٹوٹ جائے گا، سپورٹس جرنلسٹس ایسو سی ایشن کے نیشنل کرکٹ سٹیڈئم میں واقع دفتر میں صدر سجال عقیل احمد، پیارے اور  شریر دوست ثنا ء اللہ ، یوسف انجم (سہیل عمران صاحب اپنا آخری فیصلہ دے کر دفتر کیلئے نکل چکے تھے ) اور راقم موجود تھے ، عقیل صاحب کی تسبیح کے دانے چل رہے تھے اور انگلینڈ کی وکٹیں گر رہی تھی ، تب ہی راقم نے جملہ پاس کیا کہ اب پاکستان کو چیمپئنز کا چیمپئن بننے سے روکنے کیلئے  بھارت میں جنوبی افریقہ کے اے بی ڈویلئیرز بھی شامل کر دیئے جائے تو یہ ممکن نہیں ہو سکے گا ، اور پھر پوری دنیا نے دیکھا کہ پاکستان نے جیت کا ایسا سہرا سجایا کہ تاریخ کے سارے اوراق الٹ پلٹ کر رکھ دیئے ۔
اس جیت کے بعد اگلا مرحلہ اس جیت کو کیش کرنے کا تھا اور اس کیلئے ایک دفعہ پھر نجم سیٹھی کو میدان عمل میں آ نا تھا، انہوں نے نے اس موقع کو غنیمت جانا اور جائلز کلارک کے ساتھ دوستی کو سیڑھی بنا کر ورلڈ الیون کو پاکستان میں آزادی کپ کی سیریز کیلئے مدعو کر لیا، سیریز کیا تھی پوری دنیا کیلئے محبت چاہت اور کھیل سے جڑے احترام کا ایک ایسا پیغام تھا جسے ساری دنیا نے قبول کیا،، اسی موقع کو ایک دفعہ کامیابی کی سیڑھی کا اگلا زینہ بنا نا تھا جس کیلئے دو سے تین راستے تھے ، ایک تو زمبابوے کو دوبارہ سے بلا لیا جائے ، بنگلہ دیش کے ساتھ میچ  کھیلنے کی کوشش کی جائے یا پھر سری لنکا کے ساتھ طے شدہ سیریز میں سے احترام اور کرکٹ سے جڑے پیار کا خراج قذافی سٹیڈئم میں وصول کرنے کیلئے ایڑھی چوٹی کا زور لگایا جائے

نجم سیٹھی نے اس مشکل ترین فیصلے کو اپنے خواب کی تکمیل کیلئے چن لیا اور سری لنکا سے بات چیت کے بعد اکتوبر 2017 میں سیریز کا آخری ٹی ٹونٹی قذافی سٹیدئم میں کھیلا گیا، دنیا کی نظر میں یہ ایک ٹی ٹونٹی میچ تھا لیکن پاکستان کیلئے یہ میچ ایک تاریخ کا آغآز تھا جس میں وہ اندھیروں سے بھر پور پر خطر اور پر پیچ راستے  جو دشمن نے دہشت گردوں کےسا تھ مل کر مارچ 2009 میں ہموار کیئے تھے ان کا خاتمہ ہوا ، سری لنکا کے بہادر سپوتوں نے جراءت کی وہ داستان رقم کی کہ پاکستانی قوم اس احسان کو چاہے بھی تو کبھی بھلا نہیں سکے گی ، اس میچ کے کامیاب انعقاد کے بعد اگلا مرحلہ پھرکامیابی کا اگلا زینہ طے کرنا تھا جس کے لئے ویسٹ انڈیز کرکٹ بورڈ کے سر براہ ڈیود کیمرون نے مکمل ٹی ٹونٹی سیریز کیلئے نومبر کیلئے معاہد کیا لیکن موسم کی سختی آ ڑے آ گئی اور یہ سیریز اب پاکستان سپر لیگ کے تیسرے ایڈیشن کے بعد مارچ 2018 میں اسی قذا فی سٹیدئم میں کھیلی جائے گی ، جس کے بعد جنوبی افریقہسے کرکٹ کے دوستانہ تعلقات کے نئے باب کا اضا فہ بھی ہو سکتا ہے

Current Line (Lahore)

Australia’s 
Ellyse Perry has won the inaugural Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award for the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year, the International Cricket Council announced today. The award has been introduced in memory of Heyhoe Flint*, one of cricket’s legendary figures, a World Cup winner and ICC Cricket Hall of Famer, who passed in January 2017 at the age of 77.

Perry, the 27-year-old all-rounder from Sydney, scored an undefeated 213 and took three wickets in the one-off Ashes Test in Sydney and, accumulated 905 runs and took 22 wickets in 19 ODIs in the voting period**. She also scored 28 runs and bagged four wickets in four Twenty20 Internationals.

This is Perry’s maiden ICC award since becoming the youngest Australian ever to play international cricket when she debuted in 2007 before her 17th birthday despite never having played a domestic match at the senior level.

Reacting to the news, a delighted Perry
said: “2017 has been a very special year for women’s cricket with many milestones reached, so it is a privilege and honour to receive the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award. I’d like to acknowledge the incredible work and legacy Rachael has left behind for the game, she is certainly missed. 

“A special thanks to Cricket Australia for the incredible amount of support they provide to the Australian Women’s Cricket Team and the way in which they continue to lead the development of women’s sport in Australia.

“Also, my team mates and our support staff, thanks so much for making it so enjoyable and memorable to tour and represent Australia. And finally, to my family and friends for their continued and unwavering support, it is truly appreciated.”

ICC Chief Executive David Richardson congratulated Perry,
saying: “On behalf of the ICC, I want to congratulate Ellyse for winning the inaugural Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award for the ICC Cricketer of the Year. This recognises the outstanding player of the year in memory of one of the true legends of the game. Rachael’s contribution to the game goes beyond the cricket field as she not only led her team to victory at the inaugural Women’s World Cup in 1973 but also played a big part in helping organise it.

“Ellyse has been outstanding during the voting period. She is a worthy winner and an inspiration and a role model for millions of young and emerging players and I’m sure Ellyse will be honoured to be the first recipient of the award.”

Meanwhile, New Zealand’s Amy Satterthwaite has clinched the ICC Women’s ODI Player of the Year Award, while Perry’s team-mate Beth Mooney has won the ICC Women’s T20I Player of the Year and ICC Women’s Emerging Player of the Year awards.

Satterthwaite is the second New Zealand player after Suzie Bates to have won an ICC award. Bates was declared the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year in 2013, while in 2015, she became the first player to win both the ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer of the Year and ICC T20I Cricketer of the Year awards in the same year.

In the voting period, Satterthwaite scored 1,183 runs in 24 ODIs at an average of 84.5 with four centuries and five half-centuries, and also took 20 wickets. She beat the challenge from Perry and Alex Hartley of England, who finished second and third, respectively.

Commenting on the announcement, the 31-year-old from Christchurch said: “It is a great honour to be named as ICC Women’s ODI Player of the Year. It is a pretty special moment and I guess, probably one of the moments to look back and reflect on the year and what it has been.

“The first six months were a lot of cricket and I really enjoyed myself in the middle. Everyone talks about the four hundreds, that is something that you need situations to go in your favour to hit something like this. It was pretty special at the same time, but I have enjoyed playing my cricket in the last 12 months and really enjoyed my time with the team. I think we have a good team which is gelling together and hitting nice momentum.”

Mooney was the leading T20I scorer with 255 runs at a strike-rate of 138.5 in seven matches in the voting period, while she also scored 492 runs in 14 ODIs. In the one-off Ashes Test, she scored 27. The qualification criteria for the ICC Emerging Player of the Year was that the player had to be under the age of 26 and not have played more than six ODIs and 10 T20Is prior to the performance period.

Prior to Mooney, Sarah Taylor (2012 and 2013), Lanning (2014), Stafanie Taylor (2015) and Suzie Bates (2016) have won the ICC T20I Player of the Year award, while the ICC Emerging Player of the Year has been introduced from this year in line with the ICC’s commitment to enhancing the importance and significance of women’s cricket as well as to recognise the best performing young talent.
 
The Windies’ pair of Deandra Dottin and Stafanie Taylor finished second and third, respectively, in the T20I Player of the Year category.

The 23-year-old, commenting on the announcement, said: “This is very unexpected and I’m honoured to receive the ICC T20I and Emerging Player of the Year awards. I play cricket to contribute to the team's success and not for personal accolades, but equally it is nice to be rewarded for all the work of the years.

“Twenty20 cricket has been adopted enthusiastically around the world and has proven to be a fantastic format for women and girls. The Rebel Women’s Big Bash League has been highly successful for Cricket Australia and personally, I benefitted from the exposure and opportunity as a player with the Brisbane Heat.

“The ICC Women’s World Cup in England was a huge event. It was disappointing for Australia but still being part of it was something that I won’t forget.”

Rachael Heyhoe Flint Award for ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year - Ellyse Perry (Australia) (this is the first time this trophy, introduced in Rachael’s memory, has been awarded)

By Adrees Malik

World of Cricket now days in deep concern about the new structure of ICC Test and Championship, and its FTP schedule. PCB tow members delegation who attended the Workshop in Singapore last week has briefed the Chairman PCB about the workshop and proposed Schedule with 6 full members for ICC Test championship and other three (Test Status Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Ireland) for bilateral test series.

PCB Hope and Plan

PCB’s current focus on legal fight with BCCI is more than that the bilateral series schedule with the arch rival in upcoming ICC new structure FTP.

PCB who has England and UAE based Legal experts on board for the concrete fight with BCCI in ICC Dispute resolution committee is confident to take up the decision in his favor.

The previous FTP of 8 years agreement between PCB and BCCI from 2015 to 2023, in which 6 series was scheduled and out of these four series was to host Pakistan.

The logic behind this agreement legal fight success ratio is not much difficult to understand

This FTP of 2015-2023 was released by ICC and before release it’s binding for the ICC camp to get confirmation from the concerns boards which would be with the ICC office before put it on for public.

The communication record with both the boards of ICC office in not likes a piece of paper as said by the BCCI officials and it will pay off a lot during the legal arguments.
ICC officially has complete record which can be called on as evidence before the ICC Dispute resolution committee. This hope will add on 24 or more matches in favor of PCB proposed plan with the new structure of ICC Test and ODI Cricket championships.

PCB Proposed match Ratio / Quality no Quantity

PCB delegation which was consists of COO Subhan Ahmad and Usman Wahla of international cricket department of PCB told that they proposed 121 matches in all three formats during 2019 to 2023 other than the ICC Mega Events (ICC WT20 in Oct/Nov 2020, ICC Champions Trophy Oct/Nov 2021, ICC WC Feb/ March 2023).

According to proposed detail with the scriber, PCB scheduled to play 121 in all three formats and in comparison to it South Africa (122), Sri Lanka (117), NZ (119), Australia (123), Bangladesh (124).

ICC and ACC events will add on

PCB proposed FTP is only for ICC New Structure of test and ODI championships and it will be more attractive for fans and productive for PCB, when ICC and ACC event matches added

The world T20 scheduled to be in Oct/Nov 2020, ICC Champions Trophy Oct/Nov 2021 and ICC CW 2023.

*Similarly Asia Cup matches and right to select an independent bilateral Series with any of the ICC member country can also an option for PCB to add more.

*PCB also in discussion with Ireland for full tour to Pakistan (Lahore and Karachi) in return of First test match with Ireland (after getting test status) in Ireland.

*PCB also want to portrait the full cooperation and peaceful process of International cricket back in Pakistan with all FTP matches to play at homeland with subject to security.

PSL permanent window the problem persist

Whereas the more option for PCB to generate quality cricket with ICC member countries and financial benefits as compared to previous schedules and own brand Pakistan Super league, there is a problem to keep permanent window for PSL from 2019 to 2023.
There is mega event of ICC WC2023 during this window and PCB need to change schedule for PSL in 2023 but also to maintain permanent slot available to dedicate at least 6 weeks each year which will cost loss of 4 test matches or a full series of 5 ODI’s and # T20’s.   

The Final decision time of New FTP

The current month workshop on future tour program as per ICC new Structure of Test and ODI leagues, and in result the proposed FTP with further amendments will put on Feb 2018 meeting notes of ICC and then will approve by ICC June 2018 meeting.
The Results of the Scheduling work shop will be further deliberated at the Chief Executives Committee which will then put up a recommendation to the ICC BOG for approval. Until such time as the Board takes the matter up at its meeting the current FTP stands.

پی سی بی کی جانب سے  دو میڈیا ہائوسز کی لڑائی میں وضاحتوں اور قباحتوں کا ایک ایسا سلسلہ چل نکلا ہے جس کا اختتام شاید اب نہیں رک سکیں گا کیونکہ پاکستان سپر لیگ کے انعقاد سے پہلے سیزن 2018 میں کھیلے جانے والے تیسرے ایڈیشن کی براڈ کاسٹنگ کیلئے ائیر ٹائم کیلئے چینلز کی فہرست مرتب کی جا رہی ہیں اور امکان ہے کہ اس میں ایک پرانے ادارے کو نکال کر ایک اور روایتی میڈیا حریف  ادارے کو شامل کر لیا جائے گا ۔ پاکستان کرکٹ بورڈ کے مطابق بھارتی بورڈ کے ساتھ نئے سٹرکچر میں سیریز آئی سی سی ڈسپیوٹ ریزولشن کمیٹی میں چلنے والے کیس کے ساتھ جوڑا گیا ہے ۔ یہ ایک اچھا نقطہ ہیں اور اسی کو بنیاد بنا کرمستقبل میں کچھ فائدے بھی لئے جا سکتے ہیں۔ پی سی بی کے چئیرمین نجم سیٹھی اس وقت ان مخالفین کی تنقید کا سامنا کر رہے ہیں جو کبھی ان کے حریف ہوا کرتے تھے جہاں ایسے بھی حالات ہوتے تھے کہ اگر کہیں سے کوئی خبر چاہے عمران خان کے منہ سے ہی کیوں نہ نکلی ہو لیکن اب آ رکائیو بھی جاگ چکا ہے اور ضمیر بھی تبھی تو معاملات مزید بگڑتے نظر آ رہے ہیں ، لیکن دوسری طرف نجم سیٹھی صاحب کی یادداشت بھی بہت تیز ہے اور انہوں نے اپنے اوپر ہونے والی تمام تنقید کو امن کی آ شا کے ساتھ جوڑ کر نہ صرف بڑا جواب دینے کی کوشش کی ہے بلکہ مستقبل کیلئے اس کو دھمکی سے زیادہ سمجھ لیا جائے تو بے جا نہ ہو گا کیونکہ سیٹھی صاحب بھی بڑے کایاں ہیں بہت سارے ترت کے پتے سنبھال کر رکھے ہوتے ہیں ، خیر معاملہ کچھ بھی ہو ٹی ٹین لیگ نیا فارمیٹ ہے اور اس کی مقبولیت کو شروع ہونے سے پہلے ہی چار چاند لگ چکے ہے اور اس کے لیئے ٹی ٹین کی انتظامیہ اور امارات بورڈ کو سیٹھی صاحب اور پی سی بی کا خصوصی شکریہ ادا کرنا چاہیئے کہ بغیر رقم خرچ کیئے مفت میں بے پناہ تشہیر ہو گئی
