The problem is in a place where people think 5 times before using their credit card online – how can you expect them to give full authority to their bank accounts to a third party. Quite frankly, the level of trust among the masses in Pakistan hasn’t reached that level yet. Also, where is the accountability procedure in case of a fraudulent activity?

Additionally, more then 65% of our bank (branches) aren’t even Online nation-wide let alone Internationally. We make use of internal switches like 1Link and MNET and half of the bank aren’t even a signer of International switches like Maestro, Cirrus or VISA electron. The state of “credit cards” is so that you have to send a FAX to authorize an internet transaction 24-48 hours before in some banks — how can you imagine a split-second transaction that too via Direct Debit in such a scenario!

Consumers are way too insignificant in this case as compared to the assurances PayPal (and alike) requires from Government + banks to ensure that they will eventually (and promptly) get the money from consumers’ bank accounts.

PayPal requires proof of ID, proof of address, proof of telephone, proof of business (non-profit or otherwise) and proof of bank account — all of which can easily be forged in Pakistan. What is the use of a PayPal service where most of the account doesn’t even get approved by PayPal authority?

Maybe we do have the required laws – but somehow we might have failed in projecting it to the world as effectively as Yemen, Uganda or Rwanda has done.

At Singapore Chief Executives Committee (CEC) and Governance Review Committee (GRC) working groups met together to talk about the ICC events program post 2015, the occurrence and arrangement for worldwide proceedings and requirement for those proceedings, and the introduction of Test and ODI leagues to give context to the conventional formats of the game.

CEC operational group has been set up to help in raising a practical answer. The group, comprising David Collier (England and Wales), Nishantha Ranatunga (Sri Lanka), N Srinivasan (India), James Sutherland (Australia) and David Richardson (ICC general manager, cricket) will meet once more with the GRC before submitting a suggestion for the CEC to think at its September gathering.

ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said the committee was bearing in mind using Twenty20 to increase the fame of the game and curtailing contribution in the 50-over World Cup. “There is clearly a hunger from all quarters to look at the make-up of the ICC Cricket World Cup and the ICC World Twenty20 and look for the best balance between brilliance and growth,” he said. “In terms of the number of participating teams, it is possible that the World Cup could be compact and the World Twenty20 prolonged.

Even though we have complete high-quality growth, this work out requires additional work. We know there are thrilling opportunities to defend and endorse all three formats but we must work out endurance as we think all aspects in introducing background and content in international cricket.

The governor of Sindh announce over a million rupees on behalf of President Asif Ali Zardari and another five hundred thousand of his own to the young naseem. Pakistan’s sports ministry also contributed to the prize money as Naseem appeared set to enjoy monetary rewards from pakistani sources. Pakistanis around the country pressed for full time employment for the athlete as did many prominent members of Pakistan’s civil society. Naseem hails from the poor area of Korangi in Karachi, and would now certainly be in a good position to support her family financially.
