The planned dates for the Asia Cup are September 2 through September 16.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has often argued that the whole Asia Cup should take place in a neutral location and has rejected the concept of sending their team to Pakistan for this year’s competition.

PCB, on the other hand, is determined about holding the tournament in their area, if not the entirety of it. Najam Sethi, the chairman of the PCB management committee, proposed a hybrid plan to achieve this, according to which Pakistan would host the first four games in the tournament’s group stage. Additionally, the finals and matches involving India will be played in a neutral site during the next round.

In the event that the BCCI does not ultimately approve the hybrid format, the PCB president has openly threatened to withdraw from the Asia Cup in 2023.

The standoff appears to be ending, according to sources in the PCB. BCCI and ACC members have advised board authorities that they are open to accepting the new hybrid model put out by PCB.

In exchange, PCB must guarantee BCCI that they would send a side to India for the 2023 World Cup. Although PCB has not yet responded in this respect, a favorable reaction is not ruled out.

The PCB officials were expecting for an email from the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), despite Saturday being a holiday, but it never came.

The ODI World Cup is scheduled to be contested this year, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has convened a Special General Meeting (SGM) for May 27 in Ahmedabad to supervise it. In this meeting, the aforementioned hybrid model may be authorized. On that day, the World Cup schedule is also anticipated to be revealed.

Before the aforementioned meeting, BCCI would like assurance from PCB on their participation in the World Cup. The head of the PCB has also voiced opposition to hosting the India-Pakistan game in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Once the impasse is broken, the high-profile matchup between the bitter adversaries will be held somewhere else.

UAE is also interested to host the Asia Cup’s second round. The Emirates Cricket Board has recommended that games begin around 4:30 PM in order to escape the heat.

It should be mentioned that the proposed dates for the Asia Cup are September 2 through September 16.

PCB Is Thinking Of Letting Pakistani Cricketers Play In ILT20

May 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Sport News

The UAE-based league’s second season will start on January 13, 2024.

The first International League T20 (ILT20), which took place from January 13 to February 12 of this year, did not feature any players from Pakistan.

Top players may earn a staggering USD 450,000 in the UAE-based league’s inaugural season. Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam, and Mohammad Rizwan, however, may have received up to USD $900,000. A three-year contract and captaincy were also on the table.

Numerous organizations also inquired about Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Hasnain for the first season in addition to the aforementioned three. Azam Khan was in fact chosen by Desert Vipers for the competition, but the PCB later refused to grant him a No-Objection Certificate.

All of them were informed that they could only participate in the league when they had free time from their national and PSL (Pakistan Super League) commitments. In spite of this, the PCB refused to allow any of its players to take part in the competition

. Ramiz Raja, the then-chairman of the PCB, had further requested payment from the Emirates Cricket Board in return for the release of the players for the league.

Najam Sethi, the head of the PCB at the moment, does not have a rigid position on the ILT20, though. He recently said that it would be impossible to block Pakistani players at this time since the players are also thinking about creating associations to defend their rights during a meeting of the PSL governing council.

According to Sethi, PCB and the UAE have strong connections and can negotiate using the “give and take” philosophy. At the time, it was recommended that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) could begin its upcoming season in Dubai in order to raise awareness of the competition and draw in players from outside.

The PSL franchise owners disagree with this recommendation, though. They contend that the PSL would suffer if Pakistani players were released and the ILT20 was strengthened.

The sources claim that Pakistani cricketers would be seen competing in the ILT20 if the current administration is in place for the next three years.

Montana Will Be The First US State To Ban TikTok

May 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / World News

In an effort to shield citizens from Chinese espionage, the Montana governor passes legislation banning TikTok in the state.

Montana became the first US state to outlaw the well-known short video app when Governor Greg Gianforte signed legislation on Wednesday banning Chinese-owned TikTok from functioning there in order to safeguard people from suspected Chinese intelligence collection.

Montana will ban Google and Apple’s app stores from offering TikTok within the state, but it won’t punish users who still use the program. The prohibition, which is set to go into force on January 1st, 2024, will almost certainly run afoul of the law.

ByteDance, a Chinese software company that owns TikTok, declined to comment when asked by Reuters whether it intended to take legal action.

In a previous statement, TikTok claimed that the new legislation “infringes on the First Amendment rights of the people of Montana by unlawfully banning TikTok,” and that it would “continue working to defend the rights of our users inside and outside of Montana.”

Over 150 million Americans use TikTok, but there have been increasing calls from US politicians and state authorities to outright outlaw the app due to alleged Chinese government influence over the service.

Teenagers have adopted the app in record numbers. 67% of US youths between the ages of 13 and 17 use TikTok, and 16% of all teens say they use the app fairly daily, according to the Pew Research Centre. According to TikTok, the “vast majority” of its users are older than 18.

Shou Zi Chew, the CEO of TikTok, was questioned by a congressional committee in March about whether the Chinese government could access user data or affect what Americans saw on the app. However, efforts to outlaw TikTok worldwide or provide the Biden administration greater authority to impose restrictions or outlaw TikTok have not gained traction in Congress.

Republican Gianforte said the legislation will advance “our shared priority to protect Montanans from Chinese Communist Party surveillance.”

TikTok has always denied sharing data with the Chinese government and stated that it would not do so if requested.

TikTok may be subject to fines of up to $10,000 per day if it continues to breach the restriction, according to Montana, which has a population of little over 1 million. Fines might also be assessed for each infraction.

On Apple Inc. and Google device app stores, the quick video app is available for download. If they break the law, Apple and Google, a division of Alphabet Inc., may also be hit with fines of $10,000 per infraction, per day.

Requests for comment from Apple and Google did not immediately receive a response.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) denounced the bill as “unconstitutional” and pointed out that, if the courts do not intervene, it will take effect on January 1.

Carl Szabo, general counsel for the business association NetChoice, also berated the new regulation. He said in a statement: “The government may not block our ability to access constitutionally protected speech – whether it is in a newspaper, on a website, or via an app.” He added that Montana “ignores the US Constitution, due process, and free speech.”

Gianforte also outlawed the use of any social media applications that gather and provide personal information or data to foreign adversaries on state government-issued devices. He had hoped to persuade the state legislature to extend the ban to other social media applications that provide specific data to foreign adversaries.

Project Texas, a project being worked on by TikTok, establishes a stand-alone corporation to keep user data from American users on US servers run by US tech giant Oracle.

Price (Rs.)	8,299,000
Booking Amount (Rs.)	600,000

With its introduction, the C-segment of SUVs has become a little bit more intriguing. The Proton X70, Kia Sportage, and Hyundai Tucson are all direct rivals of the Jolion.

In contrast to its rivals, Jolion is a cutting-edge, futuristic-looking SUV from the inside out. There are six color choices available for it, including White, Black, Red, Blue, Green, and Grey. Grey, white, and bronze are used in the inside together with soft, high-end materials.

Its front wheels receive 147 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque from a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that is mated to a 7-speed DCT automated transmission.

The SUV includes Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) components. McPherson Struts are used for the front suspension, while Torsion Bar Coil Springs are used for the rear suspension.

Electrically height-adjustable headlamps
Panoramic sunroof

Carlex Design Gives The Ferrari Purosangue A Two-Tone Makeover With 23-Inch Rims

May 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The Ferrari Purosangue, the brand’s first four-door vehicle, debuted in September, and Carlex Design is already giving it a facelift. The aftermarket expert now provides a two-tone paint scheme for the new model as part of an interior and exterior design package.

The Tuner’s Cabin Is Decorated With A Green And White Color Scheme

Racing Green was painted on the top of the Purosangue by Carlex, who contrasted it with brushed silver on the bottom to give the Ferrari a stunning look. From the front, the green on top stretches over the hood and wraps around the greenhouse until ending at the top of the rear hatch.

Specifications:

Although the powertrain is unchanged, there shouldn’t be any issues. The Ferrari has a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces 528 pound-feet of torque and 715 horsepower. The Purosangue, according to the company, can accelerate to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds and has a peak speed of more than 192 mph.

Ferrari Purosangue By Carlex Design Interior

All four wheels receive power from its eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, however the front-wheel drive system does disengage depending on the gear and speed.

Although Ferrari’s first four-door model could appear to be a blunder for the venerable sports car manufacturer, demand has been strong ever since it was introduced.

The business disclosed earlier this month that it had enough orders for Purosangue to stay busy till 2025. Because of the enthusiastic early reaction from clients, it also opened the order books again after closing them.

In the upcoming months and years, we anticipate seeing additional improvements and kits for the four-door Ferrari as tuners and specialists start fiddling. The entire conversion is available through Carlex for €61,500 ($66,618 at the current currency rate). Customers may, however, choose to purchase the exterior, interior, and rim packages separately for €16,500, €36,00, and €12,000 ($17,873, $38,996, and $12,998).

The 2024 Land Rover Range Rover SV Will Have A 606-HP Hybrid V8 And A 542-HP PHEV 550e

May 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Despite the fact that the current Range Rover generation is by no means outdated, Land Rover has decided to increase the power for 2024. You may now control over 600 horsepower when you go behind the wheel of a Range Rover SV.

The Beginning Cost Rises To $108,895 Additionally, A New Bespoke SV Service Provides A Wide Range Of Personalization Choices

The 2024 Range Rover’s 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 receives mild hybrid technology, but the major news is a new 606-hp V8 option that is only available on the Range Rover SV.

The engine produces 553 pound-feet of torque, but if you find that to be a bit excessive, the 3.0-liter six-pot plug-in hybrid now has 542 combined horsepower in 550e trim.

The PHEV’s 0-60 mph time is reduced to 4.8 seconds as a result, and if you use a light throttle, you can go 51 miles on electricity alone. Strangely, Land Rover doesn’t estimate the Range Rover SV’s peak speed or acceleration.

The IT division has seen significant adjustments as well. The company’s Pivi Pro infotainment system, which is accessed through the 13.1-inch center screen, is upgraded for the 2024 Range Rover.

Better roll control is provided throughout corners thanks to Dynamic Response Pro, which first appeared on the Range Rover Sport. The Terrain Response 2 system of the 2024 Range Rover has adaptive off-road cruise control when travelling off-road.

The SUV’s speed may be automatically adjusted in four different scenarios, allowing the driver to effortlessly navigate clear of (or over) obstacles.

The Punjab Government Gives PTI 24 Hours To Turn Over “Terrorists” Residing In Zaman Park

May 17, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

According to the interim information minister, 30 to 40 “terrorists” participating in the “May 9 mayhem” have sought sanctuary in the former prime minister’s home.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) was given 24 hours to “hand over terrorists seeking refuge in Zaman Park” on Wednesday by interim Punjab Information Minister Amir Mir.

He said at a news conference that the former prime minister’s Zaman Park home had provided safe haven for 30 to 40 “terrorists” who took part in the “May 9 mayhem” after PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s imprisonment.

He said that those who attacked the Corps Commander of Lahore were among those hiding out at Zaman Park.

The Punjab Police is to receive these terrorists from PTI. The PTI leadership has been given 24 hours by the Punjab interim government, according to Mir.

“PTI is acting like an anti-state party and its Chairman Imran Khan has been targeting the military for more than a year,” he continued.

The Punjab interim Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, according to him, “has given a free hand to police to capture the arsonists,” and the violent events that followed Imran’s arrest last week were planned in advance.

The minister emphasized that the Punjabi government had enacted a “zero tolerance policy” for anyone who planned, encouraged, and committed acts of violence.

“The federal government, military leadership, and Punjab government have decided to punish the attackers,” he said.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared earlier this week that “perpetrators, planners, and facilitators” of the violence on May 9 should not be spared at any price.

After presiding over the National Security Committee meeting, he stressed in a televised speech that “even the prime minister of Pakistan should not be allowed to pardon the culprits.”

He grieved that the Lahore Jinnah House (Corps Commander House) had been damaged and set on fire by the offenders.

“Jinnah House is sacred, and it was destroyed during the wave of violence,” claimed PM Shehbaz.

The PM said that “terrorism” applied to the attack’s perpetrators, planners, and facilitators.

After Imran was detained, riots broke out across Pakistan and turned violent.

At least eight individuals were murdered and close to 2,000 people were jailed.

Hundreds of demonstrators attacked and set fire to government buildings, police cars, and other public vehicles while rampaging through army sites. They also blocked key roads leading into and out of all major cities.

After Imran’s release was mandated by the Pakistani Supreme Court on May 11, the demonstrations subsided.

‘GTA 6’ Is Expected To Be The Most Expensive Game Yet, Breaking The Bank

May 17, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

New RPGs and adventure games are quickly evolving into contemporary blockbusters, with price tags to match, as the video game business has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry with a global audience.

The amount of money needed to create and promote games has grown tremendously, with most AAA titles now having budgets excess of USD$100 million. However, according to recent estimates, the next Grand Theft Auto game may top all others as the most costly video game ever created.

Grand Theft Auto 6, a highly anticipated game by Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive Software, is expected to have a massive production budget of “USD $1-2 billion” after accounting for marketing expenses, according to Dexerto.

Last year, GTA 6 saw a significant leak that exposed video of the game’s early builds and a tone of incomplete gameplay, prompting Rockstar Games to affirm that it is really working diligently on the following installment. However, the studio hasn’t spoken anything about the incident since then and has maintained total radio quiet about it.

The cost of creating video games has significantly increased in recent years, in part due to the lengthier production cycles and current games’ growing complexity and size. Given Rockstar’s concern with little details and how sophisticated and expansive its games are, GTA 6 is one of the most eagerly awaited games of the decade and there is a potential that it might increase production expenses.

GTA 6 has also been under production for about ten years, and the longer it takes to create a game, the more money it will cost.

For comparison, the outrageous cost of making GTA 5 was believed to be USD$265 million (AUD$396 million) when it was published back in 2013. In spite of its astronomical price tag, GTA 5 surpassed all predictions on launch day, earning nearly USD$800 million (AUD$1.2 billion) in hard currency. And it hasn’t stopped there. The game is still doing well thanks to re-releases for the next generation and the consistently well-liked and expanding GTA Online.

Many of you have been asking about a new entry in the Grand Theft Auto series.

With every new project, our goal is always to significantly move beyond what we've previously delivered. We're pleased to confirm that active development for the next entry in the series is underway.
— Rockstar Games (@RockstarGames) February 4, 2022

As of 2023, GTA 5 had earned USD$7.7 billion (AUD$11.4 billion) for Take-Two and was still a huge money producer for the business. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a leap to see GTA 6 approaching or even exceeding the billion-dollar threshold given those figures. Prepare yourselves, people!

Star Citizen, a crowdfunded game that has managed to accrue around half a billion dollars since 2012, is currently the most costly game in the world. It’s wise to approach any information about GTA 6’s budget with a healthy grain of cynicism because Rockstar Games hasn’t verified any of it and much of it is just conjecture based on the information available.

McLaren F1 Driver Lando Norris Picks Up His Custom 765LT Spider From MSO

May 16, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

The 720S-based 765LT Spider was first offered by McLaren over two years ago, and even though the 750S is now formally available, the British sports car manufacturer is still able to provide the track-focused convertible.

Lando Norris, a driver for the Formula 1 team, is the most recent client to take possession of a long-tailed spider’s keys. One of just 765 units made, it boasts a few exclusive McLaren exclusive Operations (MSO) additions and a lot of carbon fiber.

With Yellow Highlights To Match His Helmet, The Supercar Is Finished In Carbon Blue

The 23-year-old racing driver is shown travelling to pick up his prized item in a new video posted by McLaren Automotive on YouTube. Given that Lando is British, you’re probably asking why the 765LT Spider was requested with left-hand drive specifications at this point. He just relocated to Monaco, thus he no longer resides in the UK.

His helmet is referenced by the contrasting yellow highlights on the brake calipers and body, and his race number is linked to the four stripes. The headrests have embroidered “LN” emblems so everyone knows whose car this is.

There is also a unique plaque that says the 765LT was “exclusively commissioned for Lando Norris by MSO,” but it withholds the production number.

The autographs of various persons engaged in the creation of the automobile, including McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, complete the distinctive touches. While Carlos Sainz, another F1 driver, chose a coupe at the start of the year, Lando chose a convertible. Despite the fact that both vehicles are supercars, the 765LT has a twin-turbo V8 and the 812 Competition has a normally aspirated V12.

The seven-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox that powers the 4.0-liter engine’s 590 pound-feet (800 Newton-meters) of torque and 755 horsepower sends the power to the wheels. On its way to 205 mph (330 km/h), it allows the McLaren 765LT hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in only 2.8 seconds and 124 mph (200 km/h) in 7.2 seconds.

Even though McLaren now has an electric V6, eight-cylinder power won’t be going away anytime soon. It has signed a contract for a new hybrid V8 engine that will be used in next supercars and, ideally, a hypercar.

In a Recent Leak, the Realme C53 Displays Detailed Specifications

May 14, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

The latest image published by the leak-verse and the many certifications for the Realme C53 show how eager the media sphere is for its impending release. A recent leak outlining the phone’s remarkable features and storage capacity has only served to stoke the fire. Let’s look at it.

Recently, the illustrious YouTuber and well-known leaker “NTW” honored the internet with his discovery, revealing the details of the Realme C53 in a tweet along with a poster that appears to be quite reliable. His claims appear to have come from official sources, which gives them a strong foundation.

According to the picture, the Realme C53 has straight side rails, thin bezels, a streamlined design, and a punch-hole camera at the top center. The phone’s right edge is home to the power and volume rockers, one of which cleverly conceals a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

A strategically placed USB Type-C connector next to the main speaker grille is found at the device’s base for the best audio output.

With a nicely embossed dual-ring camera system and Cyan color finish, the design appears really modern. You may quickly compare the costs of several models by using the Realme pricing list, then select the one that best suits your needs and budget.

The phone has a semi-substantial 6 GB memory hub with a 128 GB storage capacity, which, along with the pre-installed Realme UI 4.0, gives you more than enough space to save years’ worth of digital treasures.

The Realme C53 has a strong 5000mAh battery that can be charged at 33 watts. At the price it will soon have, all these specifications are reasonable. According to the source, the Realme C55, the higher-end brother in the hierarchy, will cost less than 133 USD.
