News from Quaid-e-Azam trophy; A player declared showing COVID-19 symptoms

Situation in Karachi 

The Covid-19 situation in Pakistan is nearly under control, with the country slowly returning to normalcy in recent weeks. While the government has been issuing daily alerts about a potential second wave of infections and appealing to the public to wear masks, only a few cities are observing a lockdown as restaurants, educational institutes, marriage halls and public transportation continue to operate freely. 

The Quaid-e-Azam trophy 

This is to make sure that 11 days break before start of 3rd round as during that period; PSL remainder games are to be played,  and during that period, the Q-e-A trophy is going to take a break and during those period, participating players are going to take a quarantine, 

A player adjudged COVID-19 out

Bismillah Khan of Balochistan as been adjudged COVID-19 infected, personally I feel, is a bad omen for PSL remainder games going to be staged in Karachi in second week of November 2020. But this is a good thing that unlike some other country playing their lucrative championship in Dubai instead of their home, Pakistan able to stage their National T20 and now Q-e-A trophy in Pakistan and also hosted Zimbabwe, where when I am writing these lines, Pakistan won the series 2-1 where Zimbabwe won the last i.e. 3rd ODI at Rawalpindi being a tied game which was won by Zimbabwe on super over.

Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and Zimbabwe tour to Pakistan 2020

International Games in Pakistan post Covid-19 scenario

This is something me being a fan of green-shirts would always wanted Pakistani grounds to stage an International Game on green soil.

Without crowd

This is something I would have to bear with otherwise I personally would have wanted participate in one of the games being played in Karachi,especially when PSL's remaining games are to be played in Karachi colours, which is something like I mentioned above was a dream for me, but due to pandemic situation prevails globally, we also have to observe the SOP's but this is a plus that none other than Pakistan currently having their domestic and international ventures simultaneously in Karachi and Rawalpindi respectively, where currently Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2nd part games are being played between Balochistan and Southern Punjab at Karachi, whereas Zimbabwe are playing ODI's in Rawalpindi against Pakistan.

PCB investing heavily on production

Cricket TV production post-Covid-19 scenario has deemed a great importance hence the PCB also investing the same on cricketing TV production and even introduced their all-active YouTube Channel as well, airing Pakistan's cricketing ties whether domestic otherwise international, but this was something which I always missed from Pakistan, which is now in 2020 being implemented, as I found it entertaining watching graphs of Pakistan domestic games, statistics, coverage meeting the international standards (although I must admit not even closer to that standard, but still they're working hard) as I found domestic cricket being aired with better production something better than nothing.

Production Standards from National T20 to Quaid-e-Azam trophy

From the start of National T20 2020 initial games in Multan, from each and every single individual game, the presentation standards improved, and it was a continuous improvement, apart from the Font-Family uniformity in National T20 was something I personally noted down and the same was also mentioned on Geo TV's Score as well, since the font family they used were good according to a laptop's standard but on bugger screen like we have at least 20 inches TV's at home, it was too minute, but I personally want to have tap on PCB and PTV for working on it and in Quaid-e-Azam trophy, font family was uniformed and hence it was more pleaser on the eyes than National T20.

Bloopers in production in National T20

This is a normality in today's cricketing production keeping in mind, such things are encountered even in technology savvy working areas like Sky Sports Cricket and SuperSports but the fact is they have a continuous culture of production unlike PTV and Geo Super who were always relying on TenSports which is a sub-part of Sony TV Network India, hence we need to give something breathing spaces to both Geo Super and PTV Sports because it is us who IF supports them, will improve the standards of Cricket TV productions in Pakistan, hence we only demand a continuous improvement in TV production standards, otherwise TV production is a tricky thing which also depends on other-than-sports-aspects like Psychology, Statistics Inferences etc. so such thing DO occur at technology savvy workplaces like I mentioned above Sky Sports Cricket production team and SuperSports, so compared to them, our cricketing coverage standards are nubile hence I personally would like to give them sometime before we analyze them critically

Production of Zim tour to Pakistan

Like I mentioned a term above, continuous improvement; which is the main thing because now PCB is heading towards the same thing which India did years ago, and what I mentioned in my previous blog article, that Pakistan should go for a uniform TV production headed by PCB itself, hence this time round, it seemed PCB was reading my suggestions (just joking), but this is something worth mentioning that PCB is heading current cricket production, and although Sony is official broadcaster but PCB is owning the graphics presentation, which like I mentioned in my another blog, having individuality has it onus, which India did, although Star Sports is their official broadcaster but graphics presentation for India games are different than their production for Bangladesh, because it helps India to portray their cricket as their cricketing product, because in today's world, cricket production is like a wrapper wrapped around a physical outcome, hence the same is for PCB, where Mics were labeled with PCB, commentators other than Zainab Abbas were wearing PCB provided PCB Emblem uppers and shirts which is good for the promotion of PCB and Pakistan Cricket internationally, and last but not the least was production, although there were bloopers but keeping in mind we're new in such aspects hence give them sometime before being over-critical, but even in future games if PCB and PTV didn't improve on regular, than I am going to be the very first person pointing fingers at them.
