Media Kampung, International – Pakistan cricket suffered a historic 3-0 whitewash by England, marking the lowest performance in five decades, while leaders from Ethiopia, Vietnam and India convened at the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi to discuss strategic partnerships and climate initiatives.
The English series exposed deep flaws in Pakistan’s Test side: the batting line‑up failed to surpass 200 runs in five of six innings, and frequent changes in coaching staff culminated in the dismissal of head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling chief Umar Gul. Debutant Razaullah’s cameo provided a brief spark, but overall the team’s performance was described by former captain Wasim Akram as the worst tour in half a century. White‑ball coach Mike Hesson was appointed for the final Test, yet the overhaul could not reverse the decline.
Simultaneously, the BRICS summit highlighted diplomatic momentum in Asia and Africa. Vietnamese Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng met Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali in New Delhi, celebrating 50 years of bilateral ties and discussing trade, investment and a forthcoming double‑taxation agreement. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also hosted PM Abiy Ahmed Ali, emphasizing the strategic partnership and cooperation across defence, technology and climate arenas. Both meetings underscored Ethiopia’s role as a bridge to the African Union and its ambition to host the 2027 P4G summit.
The name Ahmad Ali is used as the focus keyword for this editorial piece, linking the two distinct narratives of sports and diplomacy under a common analytical lens.
