Ehsan Mani Blamed PCB For Cricket Decline
Former ICC president Ehsan Mani blamed PCB for the cricket decline in Pakistan. Talking about the current cricket situation in Pakistan he said that ICC is not responsible for this decline of cricket infact it is PCB who is actually responsible for it.
He added that decision has been made by only one person and there is no consultation with players. He blamed Ijaz Butt with out directly using his name that he should take some actions to get rid of this mess. He added that Pakistan has been facing a lot of pressure from ICC that is because of lack of planning.
From 2003 to 2006 he was president of ICC and as a Pakistani he feels that PCB should take action against such Biasness of ICC. PCB also got hit by ICC in the meeting in Dubai and got 30 days time to make its matter good.
After ultimatum they have taken actions and report it back to ICC. ICC gave 30 days time to control the structure and implementation of new code of conduct in Pakistan cricket or face suspension from ICC panel. Ijaz Butt tightens their facilities for Pakistani players who were suspended by ICC and recently revoked their contracts. ICC already declared no financial or legal assistance to these players.

World’s Largest Floating Christmas Tree Lights up in Brazil, The lights are blazing from the world’s largest floating Christmas tree — a gigantic 85-metre high metal structure set on a lagoon in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Despite the rain, some 100,000 people flocked around the Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon on Saturday (December 5) night to watch the fireworks show which has become one of the city’s main tourist attractions over the past decade.
This year, the tree constructed by Brazil’s largest insurance company features images of Christmas wreaths flickering from its nearly three million lights.
With the mountain-top Christ the Redeemer statue looking down on it, the tree stands as a brightly flashing symbol of peace in one of the world’s most violent cities.
The Christmas tree, first erected in 1996, is Rio de Janeiro’s third biggest tourist event after the pre-lenten Carnival and New Year’s Eve on Copacabana and other beaches. More than a million people are expected to view the structure before the lights are turned off on January 6. The Guinness Book of Records lists it as the world’s largest floating Christmas tree.
