Pakistan Super League Severely Hit, Several Overseas Stars Pull Out Ahead Of New Season

Several high-profile international cricketers have pulled out of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) due to the overlapping of dates with other franchise-based tournaments and many cricket boards denying permission to their players to compete in domestic T20 competitions. The PSL begins in Lahore on February 17 and all the six franchises have been hit hard with several players opting for the Bangladesh Premier League, ILT20 and SA20 leagues.

PSL side Multan Sultans have lost several players they had initially signed up for the upcoming season, with England pace bowler Reece Topley being the latest to pull out due to an injury.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also said it had not issued a no-objection certificate (NOC) to Topley to play in the PSL.

Some other boards are also having second thoughts about giving no-objection certificates for PSL.

Multan will also be without Pakistan fast bowler Ehsanullah, who has failed to recover from an elbow surgery he suffered last year after the PSL.

Peshawar Zalmi have also lost a big name in Lungi Ngidi of South Africa, while Quetta Gladiators will be without Sri Lanka's Wanandu Hasaranga.

West Indies cricketers Shai Hope, Matthew Forde and Akeal Hosein, South Africa's Tabraiz Shamshi and Rassie van Der Dussen, England's James Vince and Afghanistan's Noor Ahmed and Naveen ul Haq, among others, will also skip the entire tournament.

A PSL franchise owner has asked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to revisit the tournament window, as it is not possible to get big players when three leagues are happening on after the other.

"The SA20 ended recently and the ILT20 concludes on the day the PSL begins, so it is getting difficult to sign big players now," he said on condition of anonymity.

He also pointed out that January-February is a busy season for international cricket series. Sri Lanka are playing a series against Afghanistan, South Africa are in the middle of a two-Test series against New Zealand while West Indies are playing a series against Australia.

"There is an acute need to change the PSL window, else it will lose its charm if we don't get big overseas names," he added.

As the Marriott Brand Expands, So Does Its Community

In 2023, Fortune placed the Marriott hotel brand on its list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For” for the 26th consecutive year. This honor reflects the Marriott brand's commitment to putting people first, as exemplified by its outreach to the global community and its work helping people from underserved communities.

In April 2023, the hotel brand launched its new people-first campaign, “Be,” which focuses on three pillars, Begin, Belong, and Become. The campaign is designed to attract top talent in traditional and non-traditional roles at the company, including positions in hotel operations, systems engineering, marketing, and food and beverage. The branding campaign supports Marriott employees in their career goals, helps them grow professionally, and establishes a culture of inclusion.

The worldwide launch of this initiative continues the natural progression of the hotel chain's platform for helping its employees reach their potential. Before the launch of “Be,” the Marriott chain was the first to create and launch a digital learning platform for its employees. It was also the first to introduce a global well-being program more than two decades ago, and it offered employees multiple professional and personal growth opportunities.

“Be” extends Marriott's focus on strengthening its company culture. The company has expanded its global workforce, and as it continues to grow internationally, it has implemented a people-first approach to empower its employees in their career aspirations.

As part of this focus, Marriott has committed to hiring over 3,000 refugees by 2026. The company announced this on World Refugee Day in June 2023. The company has long welcomed people from refugee communities by offering skill development and training. Further, some Marriott locations have supported refugees by giving them access to resources such as translators, transportation, and prayer rooms. Recently, Marriott has supported refugees from Ukraine by hiring nearly 1,000 refugees to work in its hotels throughout Europe.

Ehsanullah Safi and Shahi Faisal Safi, cousins, are refugees who found work with the company in 2021. Today, they are associates at Marriott Bethesda Downtown at Marriott headquarters. Lidia Tomshivska, a Ukrainian refugee, is another refugee who found work with the company. After fleeing Ukraine, Tomshivska left for Germany where she now works at the Leipzig Marriott Hotel. More information on where refugees can get information on available positions is at www.careers.marriott.com/career-paths/refugees/. This is also where the company’s Be campaign is clearly spelled out.

This commitment to empowering people from diverse groups also includes Marriott's Bridging the Gap campaign. Launched in 2022, this program assists Black, Hispanic, Native American, and women entrepreneurs with owning hotels. The program, which started with a $50 million investment, operates on the understanding that hotels are economic generators that earn income while also creating jobs in their communities, and it offers entrepreneurs an opportunity to generate inter-generational wealth for their families.

The program works through the collaboration of the Marriott corporation and experienced hotel owners, lenders, and operators who support hotel development projects. Within three years, program planners predict that development projects for participants will reach $1 billion in asset value. Projects that qualify for the program can be newly built, converted, or relicensed properties in the United States or Canada.

Marriott has a portfolio 8,500 properties and 31 brands spanning 138 countries and territories. These properties include franchise hotels and vacation resorts. To find more information about the Marriott brand and its plans to establish a more diverse and inclusive workforce, visit www.marriott.com.

Device used to send threat to New Zealand team belonged to India: Fawad

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad alongside Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, the minister said that the entire situation started due to a fake post by someone claiming to be Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militant Ehsanullah Ehsan. Fawad said that in August, a fake post was created under Ehsan's name which told the New Zealand cricket board and government to refrain from sending the team to Pakistan as it would be "targeted". He said that following this post, the bureau chief of The Sunday Guardian, Abhinandan Mishra, published an article claiming that the team may face a terror threat in Pakistan citing the fake post by Ehsan. According to its website, The Sunday Guardian was founded by politician MJ Akbar, who served as the minister for external affairs in the Modi-led BJP government till 2018. "Interestingly, has strong links with Amrullah Saleh," he said. He said that on August 24, New Zealand opener Martin Guptill's wife received an email threatening her husband from ID with the username "Tehreek-i-Labbaik". "When we investigated further, we discovered some facts. Firstly, this email is not affiliated with any social media network and only one email has been generated from this account," he said. The minister added that the email was sent via ProtonMail, a secure service. "The details are not available and we have requested Interpol to assist us and tell us how it was generated." Despite these events, the New Zealand cricket team did not cancel the tour at this point and travelled to Pakistan. "As the interior minister said, the security we provided outnumbered the number of people in their forces," he said. Fawad said that once the Black Caps arrived, the interior ministry issued a detailed protocol programme for them and the teams began focusing on the practice sessions. The New Zealand team participated in the practice sessions "without any issues," he said. However, on the day of the first match New Zealand officials said that their government had concerns of a credible threat and cancelled the tour, he said. "Pakistan Cricket Board officials, the interior ministry security team, everyone went to them and asked them to share the threat ... they were as clueless as us." He said that a day later, a second threatening email was sent to the New Zealand team using the ID, Hamza Afridi. He said that when authorities probed the email, they discovered that it was sent from a device associated with India. "It was sent using a virtual private network (VPN) so the location was shown as Singapore." He said that the same device had 13 other IDs, nearly all of which were Indian names. "All IDs were made using the names of Indian actors and celebrities. Only the name Hamza Afridi is different to show that this email was generated from Pakistan. "His name was used deliberately to show that a terrorist threat is present in Pakistan." He said that the user of the particular device had been identified as Omprakash Mishra from Maharashtra. "The device used to send the threat to the New Zealand team belonged to India. A fake ID was used but it was sent from Maharashtra." The minister added that the interior ministry had registered a case and had requested Interpol for assistance and information on the Tehreek-i-Labbaik ProtonMail and the ID of Hamza Afridi. "This whole threat was primarily generated from India." He said that the West Indies team was travelling to Pakistan in December. "A threat has already been issued to the team," he said, adding that this was also issued via a ProtonMail account. "This is unfortunate. We believe this is a campaign against international cricket. The International Cricket Council (ICC) and other bodies must take notice," he said, adding that it was apparent that a fake threat was created by India to cancel the New Zealand tour. He also called on the New Zealand government to share the specifics of the threat they had received. He said that Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi — who is currently in New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly — had also lodged a strong protest with New Zealand. "We hope that they will share their stance." Commenting on England's decision to follow in the footsteps of the Kiwis, Fawad said that British High Commissioner Christian Turner had made it clear that the United Kingdom government's advisory for Pakistan was not being changed. "So if the government has no reservations, who is the English Cricket Board ? To claim that players are tired is a shoddy excuse," he said. He added that he had asked Pakistan Television to evaluate the financial losses it had suffered. "We are working on this and if our legal team permits, we will sue the ECB," he said. 'Bereft of reason' Meanwhile, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said that if anyone thought Pakistan would be isolated from NZ's tour cancellation, "they are bereft of reason". "We can not be isolated and the day of the New Zealand , I said that England's team would not come as well," the interior minister said. "Cricket is our passion but disappointment is to disbelief. A day will come when the teams of the world will come to Pakistan," Rashid said. He said the entire situation had been "blown up" and had told the information minister earlier that the matter should now be closed, adding that "we have other big problems ." Rashid claimed that "India frees many people from prison on bail and then trains them. It is not desisting from terrorism in Pakistan." Recounting Pakistan's sacrifices, he said the country had thwarted terrorism before as well. "Peace is our stance and it will be established in the country." He said Pakistan had played a "historic role" and had evacuated over 10,000 people from Afghanistan including Nato forces, IMF and World Bank personnel and Americans. "India has been disappointed that Pakistan couldn't be made a scapegoat and it's thinking that there would be civil war and so much killing and slaughter that there would be a rush of refugees here — not a single refugee has come." He said the Torkham and Chaman borders were functioning normally and more people were going to Afghanistan from Pakistan than those coming here. "Everything is peaceful. This is all a drama and the gloved hands behind this drama will be unsuccessful. "Pakistan is a great nation and has great security agencies and army. There is an elected government and no one can isolate us. We will move forward," the interior minister stressed.

Device used to send threat to New Zealand team belonged to India: Fawad

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said on Wednesday that the device used to send a threat to the New Zealand cricket team belonged to India.
