Pakistan’s sporting structure is collapsing, and not because of talent, but because of a system that refuses to value its own heroes. From cricket to athletics, mismanagement, ego, and politics have destroyed the very foundation of Pakistan's sports. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s shocking move to lock away the Asia Cup trophy instead of handing it to India has become a symbol of Pakistan’s self-destruction. The same neglect runs through the stories of Babar Azam, stripped of captaincy despite being the country’s top run-scorer, and Arshad Nadeem, whose coach was banned for speaking up against corruption. Rupha Ramani dives into how Pakistan’s administrators are suffocating their athletes and why the country needs to reform before it loses its sporting soul.
Also on the show, US President Donald Trump's Israel-Gaza peace plan is in motion. While on ground zero, it shows a massive shift; the sporting reality is different. Israel's sporting teams continue to face backlash. Will sports see an all-out war while world leaders push for peace? And Australia stun India again. Alyssa Healy ran riot as India failed to defend a 300+ score against the Aussies in the Women's World Cup. The loss echoes a pattern that's seen in men's cricket too. From the 2023 ODI World Cup final loss to World Test Championship heartbreak, India have failed against Australia. What's the reason behind it? First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News
