In this post, we bring you the most significant cricket updates trending globally and regionally in July 2025. From stunning debut performances to tense diplomatic situations shaping tournaments, here’s your one-stop analysis:
1. Ahmed Daniyal’s Electrifying Debut – 146 km/h Raw Pace
In the recent second T20I between Pakistan and Bangladesh, **Ahmed Daniyal**, a young Pakistani pacer, made a sensational debut by bowling his first over at **146 km/h** :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. Across his four-over spell, he conceded just 23 runs and picked up two key wickets :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
Who is Ahmed Daniyal?
Born on July 3, 1997 in Lahore, Daniyal is a right‑arm medium‑fast bowler and right‑hand batter. He has played domestic cricket for Lahore Qalandars, Central Punjab, and overseas in the BBL for Melbourne Stars :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
Performance Highlights
- First over speed: 146 km/h (true Rawalpindi Express pace!)
- Bowling figures: 4 overs, 23 runs, 2 wickets :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Compared to legend Shoaib Akhtar due to raw speed and aggression :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
یہ ایک حیران کن آغاز تھا — ڈینیال نے اپنی تیز رفتاری اور دو اہم وکٹوں کے ذریعے پاکستانی شائقین کا دل جیت لیا۔
Why This Matters
Daniyal’s debut is significant for three reasons:
- Pace revival: Pakistan has lacked a consistent 145+ km/h bowler since Shoaib took retirement.
- One-match wonder or something more: Consistency will define his career ahead.
- Strategic depth: Gives Pakistan another fast bowling option for future T20s and overseas tours.

Implications

- Podium shift: Bangladesh has challenged a cricketing giant.
3. Asia Cup 2025 in Jeopardy Amid Political Tensions
The upcoming **Asia Cup T20 in September 2025** is facing uncertain times. Political tensions post the Pahalgam terror attack have escalated friction between India and Pakistan, raising concerns about India’s participation :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}.
Financial Stakes for PCB
The PCB depends heavily on Asia Cup revenue — approx. PKR 1.16 billion (INR 34.8 crore) from this event, and over **PKR 8.8 billion** from ICC and ACC sources :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}. Cancellation could lead to major shortfalls and budget restructuring.
ACC Meeting Dispute
Scheduled ACC leadership meeting in Dhaka (July 24–25) is threatened by refusals from BCCI, Sri Lanka Cricket, Afghanistan, and others — disrupting quorum :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}.
دلہن کی میزبانی کرنا آسان نہیں — ACC اجلاس کا مستقبل مشکوک ہے، جس کے نتیجے ممکنہ طور پر ایونٹ کی میزبانی بھی پیچیدہ ہو جائے گی۔
Possible Outcomes
- Asia Cup may move to UAE or get postponed.
- PCB may negotiate with ACC/ICC to protect financial interests.
- Delay may affect preparation of teams globally.
4. World Champions League (WCL) Fallout
In a dramatic turn, **India refused to play Pakistan in WCL 2025** after the Pahalgam incident. Pakistan’s Legends team was left hanging, prompting comments from ex-Pak skipper Salman Butt, stating if India avoids legends events, ICC matches shouldn’t be spared either :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}.
یہ کسی عام تنازعہ سے بڑھ کر ہے — یہاں کرکٹ نہیں بلکہ سفارتی کشمکش چل رہی ہے۔
Impact
- Historical fixtures now politicized.
- Affects fan expectations and bilateral cricket relations.
- Sets precedent for future reluctance.
