Quick Glance: Nepotism Damaging Pakistan Cricket's Future

Pakistan's cricket team suffered a shocking 2-0 home defeat to Bangladesh, dropping to eighth in the Test rankings, their lowest in nearly 60 years.

Critics attribute the team's poor performance to political interference and nepotism within the Pakistan Cricket Board, contributing to instability in the squad.

PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi faces increasing scrutiny for juggling roles as Interior Minister and board head, which many view as problematic.

The chaos within management is reflected in player performances, notably Babar Azam, who has failed to score a half-century in his last 18 innings.

Quick Glance: Facebook Blocks Emergency Alerts Amid Wildfire Crisis

Numerous posts regarding wildfires in California have been flagged and removed by Facebook, jeopardizing information dissemination during emergencies.

Affected users, including firefighters and emergency responders, report difficulties in sharing critical updates as the wildfire season continues.

The issue has escalated since the platform made changes in June that led to increased removals without notifying users.

The reliance on social media for emergency information is becoming more apparent, as official channels often fail to provide timely updates.
