ISLAMABAD: Former Test captain and fast bowling legend Wasim Akram on Wednesday said the appointment of his pace partner Waqar Younis as head coach of national team would benefit Pakistan.
Talking to a private news channel, Wasim reckoned Waqar’s appointment as head coach was a great step for Pakistan cricket, noting it would certainly benefit the team that would feature in next year’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Waqar had always been an inspiration for youngsters and was one of the best cricketers Pakistan had produced, Wasim stressed.
To a question, Wasim underlined all the coaches (to be appointed after a while) for different departments would have to work as one unit in order to get desired results.
The 104-Test veteran emphasised Waqar’s immediate aim should be to prepare the team for the upcoming busy season which also included the 2015 World Cup.
Wasim hoped the current changes in PCB set-up were going to prove beneficial for the national team.
Google Nexus 6 release date, features and more
Washington: As smartphone market is going red hot with the arrival of Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One (M8), now new report recons that Google is working on Google Nexus 6 for its flagship smartphone of 2014.
The projection is based on the notion that Google would want to stand on the middle-ground when competing with its closest rivals Apple and Samsung.
Rumors are swirling that Samsung is allowing a preview of the Galaxy S5 on February 24 though analysts are convinced that the actual rollout will not happen until March or April.
According to reports, Apple is said to be eyeing a September debut for its first phablet, the iPhone 6, which actually is keeping with the tech giant’s release calendar.
So the sweet spot for Google to uncage the Nexus 6 is mid-part of Q3 2014 but there should be a peek to occur prior to the grand uncloaking.
The best bet would be on May or June, depending on when exactly the Nexus maker is planning to stage its yearly I/O Developers Conference.
With the Nexus 6 intro schedule seemingly settled, Google can then focus on the more essential things packing its signature phone with the insane features that would make it a worthy opponent of the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S5.
If the recently unveiled LG Pro 2 will prove as the Nexus 6 in the making, the latter’s likely screen size is nearly six inches and to complement such impressive display feature Google is proving a muscled graphic engine that will fire up a sweet 2K resolution.
The guesswork makes sense as 2K is becoming the smartphone screen standard beginning in 2014. The Galaxy S5 is whispered to deliver the same screen attribute and so is the iPhone 6. To attract attention, Google will need to match such superlatives.
Apple introduced a new era in mobile device computing when it let out the iPhone 5S late last year with 64-bit computing prowess. Not to be outdone, Samsung soon declared that the Galaxy S4 successor will also run on the same set of instructions.
The two titans leave no choice for Google it has to follow suit. It is yet unclear if a Snapdragon CPU will be ready in time for the Nexus 6 debut this year but Google can tap Samsung to supply the 64-bit chip that will power the device.
That means the next Nexus phone would rely on Exynos octa-core technology for its processing requirements, which is not impossible at all. Google and Samsung, after all, are Android allies.
Apple has embedded Touch ID on the iPhone 5S home button and chances are, Samsung will do the same with the Galaxy S5 and the latter’s render will likely cover the entire touchscreen area that will afford better device security features to users.
The trend, no doubt, points to robust security measures that will come out of the box with high-end smartphones so Google will have to offer the same. The Nexus maker can opt to deliver the same feature or even pair fingerprint scanner with iris reader so as to differentiate its take on biometric security features for mobile devices.
And despite these insanely great features residing on the Nexus 6 on release date, Android watchers believe that the handset will remain affordable – pretty much reflecting the price tags carried by the Nexus 5, which should make the vanilla Android phone all the more irresistible.
Ahmed Shahzad brilliant knock of 111* against Bangladesh
Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad, after a horror run in T20 internationals since his 98* off 64 against Zimbabwe back in August 2013, has finally made something of note in the format, and spectacularly so, by annihilating a hopeless Bangladesh bowling attack en route to his 111* off 62 deliveries (10 fours, 5 sixes). He has become the first Pakistani cricketer and the youngest ever to score a century in T20 internationals, and, in doing so, helped his team set a daunting target of 191 for the home team, which his bowlers defended successfully by restricting Bangladesh batsmen to 140/7 in 20 overs.
Here is the video highlights of that century by Shehzad:

The Girl who cry blood Watch Video
Twinkle Dwivedi of Lucknow, India cries blood instead of tears!
She is one of the three known people in the world with this amazingly weird physical condition that is medically termed as hemolacria – a rare physical condition that causes a person to produce tears that are partially composed of blood.
Twinkle spontaneously bleeds from eyes and other parts of her body without presenting any visible wounds.
In fact, she has been the subject of numerous medical research studies and TV shows such as BodyShock and a National Geographic documentary.
More skeptical views hypothesize that the case might be explained by the so called Münchausen syndrome by proxy, meaning her mother, seemingly the only one to witness her bleeding actually starting, is fabricating the story and somehow inducing the effect on the girl.
She not only cries blood through eyes but also bleeds from her skin, scalp and other parts of her body any time with not a single wound or cut and without feeling any pain.
According to some reports, she may be a patient of Type II von Willebrand, a disease that is based on clotting disorders.
Another report says, she may be a patient of Hematidrosis, a rare clinical phenomenon in which the patient sweats blood.
Indian model accuses umpire Asad Rauf of exploiting her sexually
Mumbai: An Indian model has accused Pakistani cricket umpire Asad Rauf of exploiting her sexually for months after promising he would marry her, NDTV reports.
An Oshiwara-based model, Leena Kapoor, has sent a written complaint to the office of Pratap Dighavkar, DCP, zone IX. The complaint mentioned that she had met Rauf through a mutual friend in Sri Lanka six months ago. They exchanged numbers and then stayed together in the country for three days.
On reaching Mumbai, she fell ill. Rauf came over to see her and their bond grew stronger. Kapoor says Rauf committed at the time that he would marry her and get her a new flat. He told her he was married and had two kids, but his religion allowed him to have more than one wife and his family would give its consent.
The two kept meeting, often when Rauf – who is a member of ICC Elite Umpire Panel – would come over to India to officiate in tournaments including the IPL. “I asked him several times about the marriage and he would always tell me that it would happen soon,” Kapoor told MiD DAY.
Kapoor said that a few days earlier she tried calling Rauf, but there was no response from his side. Five days ago, he allegedly called her up saying he didn’t know her and didn’t want any further interactions with her.
According to officials from the DCP’s office, they have received a letter and an inquiry would be conducted soon.
