Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Monday announced a special cash prize of Rs 10 million (PKR) for the members of the U19 Asia Cup champion team. Pakistan had registered a spectacular victory against Team India captained by Ayush Mhatre in the final played on Sunday.

The cash prize money was announced by the Prime Minister of Pakistan at a reception held for the team and officials in Islamabad. He also praised the performance of the team. Team mentor and manager Sarfaraz Ahmed told the media after the reception that the Prime Minister has announced a cash reward of Rs 10 million (about US$36,000) for each player.

Every player got Rs 1 crore each

Pakistani Prime Minister announced a prize money of Rs 1 crore (Pakistani Rupee) for each player, in Indian currency, each player has received around Rs 32 lakh.

Sarfaraz said that he is enjoying working with a group of talented players who have a great future in the game. Head coach Shahid Anwar attributed the victory to the long process of selecting the team and giving each player a lot of experience in 50-over cricket.

Anwar said, “This process started in June, when we selected about 70 players after the trials and then reduced it to 20. Most of these players were then given the opportunity to play 50-over cricket at the domestic level.”

Pakistan won the final by 191 runs

In the final, Ayush Mhatre won the toss and decided to bowl first. Pakistan’s opening batsman Sameer Minhas played a historic inning of 172 runs. In this inning played in 113 balls, Manhas hit 9 sixes and 17 fours. Pakistan had set a target of 348 runs for India to win. The entire Indian team was bundled out for 156 runs.

Pakistani batsman Sameer Minhas was chosen the best player of the final and tournament. This was the second time that he played an inning of more than 170 runs in this edition.

Pakistan has created a new post of Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) by making the 27th amendment in the Constitution, on which Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir is to be appointed. After appointment to this post, Asim Munir will probably become the most powerful army chief in the history of Pakistan, but the notification of Munir’s appointment as CDF has not been issued yet. A new controversy seems to be arising from this.

At one end of this dispute is Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir and at the other end is the country’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, who is currently on a foreign trip. In such a situation, experts say that Pakistan PM Shahbaz Sharif is deliberately ignoring this matter and is traveling to other countries, so that he is not present at the time of issuing the notification for the appointment of CDF.

Sharif does not want to issue notification- Devasher

Author and National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) member Tilak Devasher told news agency ANI, “PM Shehbaz Sharif first left for Bahrain and from there he proceeded to London, which is leading to speculations that he is deliberately staying away to avoid issuing the notification of CDF appointment. This makes it clear that he wants Asim Munir as the Army Chief and Chief of Defense Forces (CDF) for five years.” “Do not want to issue appointment notification.” “Sharif thinks he can escape the consequences by ignoring or not signing the CDF appointment notification, but that will not happen,” he said.

Pakistan currently does not have an army chief – Devasher

Devasher said, “Pakistan is in a very bad condition at this time because at present Pakistan does not have an Army Chief and even the Nuclear Command Authority is leaderless because Asim Munir’s three-year tenure as Army Chief has ended and notification has not yet been issued for his appointment to the post of CDF before November 29, 2025.”

Pakistan often does one thing or the other, due to which it gets embarrassed in front of the whole world. This time Pakistani media did something, after which the anger of the Russian Embassy reached the seventh sky. Russian Embassy classed Pakistan on social media platform X.

Actually, the Russian Embassy got angry over the news of Pakistani newspaper The Frontier Post regarding Russia. After this, the Russian Embassy made a long post on the social media platform X and strongly criticized the Pakistani media.

Russian Embassy scolded Pakistan

The Russian Embassy wrote in a post on the social media platform It is difficult to call this magazine Pakistani because its global news service is headquartered in Washington. America has more influence on this team and always gives priority to anti-Russian radicals, critics of Russian foreign policy and President Vladimir Putin.

The Russian Embassy alleged that it is difficult to find a single news in the international section of this news in which positive or unbiased news about Russia or its leadership has been published.

We respect freedom of expression- Russian Embassy

The Russian Embassy said, ‘We respect freedom of expression and the editorial board’s right to publish authors with differing viewpoints, however the anti-Russian articles raise questions about whether the editorial board’s policy is influenced by the political agenda of anti-Russian forces rather than freedom of expression.’

The embassy also objected to the fact that this newspaper did not publish the news of the Moscow Format Consultation held on October 7, 2025 at all. It was well covered in the local media, but this newspaper did not give coverage to the news related to the consultation event.

Apart from this, Russia also accused Frontier Post of tampering with evidence and said, ‘Washington-based Frontier Post journalists are tampering with facts to show Russia as a weak country on the verge of economic collapse.’

Russian Embassy hits back at Pakistan

The Russian Embassy hit back at Pakistan and wrote, ‘Despite facing huge external pressure, the Russian economy has shown continuous progress. In 2024, Russia’s GDP is projected to grow by 4.1%, with some sectors such as manufacturing growing by as much as 8.5%. Russia’s unemployment rate is 2.5 percent and the expected average annual inflation rate for 2025 is 6.5 to 7 percent.

These figures are unusual for a country whose economy is said to be on the verge of collapse. The Russian Embassy urged the people of Pakistan to get information from different sources and not to trust such publications.

Pakistan’s Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Friday (October 31, 2025) expressed displeasure at the Pakistani Army. Pashtun Maulana, while talking about the current stance of Field Marshal Asim Munir’s army regarding Afghanistan, warned that Pakistan cannot afford another war of its own making.

He said, ‘Let us not forget the Bangladesh war of 1971 and the Kargil war of 1999, these are big examples of reckless military operations by the Pakistan Army, which were led by former President and Army Chief Pervez Musharraf and others and which caused huge damage to the country’s global reputation.’

Pak Army should focus on real issues: Rehman

Pashtun Maulana Fazlur Rehman said that instead of unnecessarily fighting on the border, Pakistan Army should focus on real issues like terrorism, economic crisis and stability of governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He criticized the tendency of the army to create fear among the people of the country and said that this is absolutely wrong.

He said that Islam does not like unjust aggression against any Muslim neighbour. He indirectly termed the Pakistani Army’s stance towards Afghanistan as un-Islamic and politically suicidal.

It is being said that this statement given by Pashtun Maulana Fazlur Rehman can prove to be helpful in creating strategic pressure for India. Indian intelligence agencies are considering this as part of a broader psychological response to the Afghan Taliban. The voices of religious leaders like Fazlur Rehman will weaken Pakistan’s internal war narrative.

Maulana wants to visit India
