Pakistani skipper Babar Azam expressed determination to reach the semi-finals, outlining a plan to chase the target within 20 to 30 overs. During a press conference in India, he emphasized the team’s focus on achieving a favorable net run rate, stating, “If Fakhar plays 20 or 30 overs, then we can achieve this net run rate.”
Acknowledging the team’s subpar performance in various aspects, Babar Azam recognized the unpredictable nature of cricket and expressed the team’s commitment to concluding their journey on a positive note. He emphasized the importance of winning the matches against Afghanistan and South Africa.
While admitting that his performance was not at its best, Babar Azam refuted claims of being under pressure. He noted that advice was readily available but stressed the team’s reliance on the coaches and captain for decisions regarding the best combination.
Focusing on the upcoming match, Babar Azam stated that he would assess the future of his captaincy later. He also reflected on the team’s inability to meet expectations and emphasized the importance of learning from mistakes.
Malaysia Facilitates Tourism: Streamlined Online Visa Process for Pakistani Tourists
Meanwhile, in a move aimed at promoting tourism, Malaysia has introduced a streamlined online visa application process for Pakistani tourists. The Immigration Department of Malaysia has overhauled its system, enabling visitors to apply for a 30-day visit visa through a user-friendly online portal.
With the updated system, the Malaysia eVisa for Pakistani nationals now boasts an extended validity period of 90 days from the date of approval. This provides travelers with a three-month window to plan their visit to the Southeast Asian nation, offering more flexibility for those eager to explore Malaysia’s diverse attractions.
To successfully apply for the Malaysia eVisa, Pakistani tourists are required to submit a set of essential documents. These include a hard copy of the approved eVisa, the passport used for the application, a digital copy of the passport’s biographical information page, a recent passport-size photo, proof of accommodation, a return ticket, and evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the trip.
A notable change is the reduction in visa fees, with the cost for the eVisa for Pakistani tourists now set at 20 Malaysian Ringgit, equivalent to approximately Rs1,224. This adjustment enhances Malaysia’s appeal as a destination for travelers from Pakistan, providing an affordable entry point to explore the country’s rich cultural and natural wonders.
