UAE Muslim tourism ranking 2026: Why digital wins

The latest Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) 2026 dropped a fascinating truth bomb on the tourism industry: the UAE secured an impressive sixth place globally. While some might focus purely on the numbers, the real story lies beneath the surface. In my view, the UAE Muslim tourism ranking 2026 is not just a victory of luxury hotels or transit ease; it is a definitive proof of concept that digital convenience and AI readiness are the new battlegrounds for global travel supremacy. Tourism is changing, and the Emirates is deliberately rewriting the playbook. Why the UAE Muslim tourism ranking 2026 is a digital wake-up call Securing a score of 75 and a spot in the elite "Trailblazers" category is a massive nod to the country's strategy. For years, destinations rested on having great physical infrastructure. But as the GMTI 2026 report reveals, international Muslim visitor arrivals are projected to hit 208 million this year. In my opinion, the UAE's ranking proves that ...

PCB to Announce Squad for Tri-Nation Series and Champions Trophy 2025



The Pakistan Cricket Board is ready to announce the cricket squad for the much-awaited Tri-Nation Series and Champions Trophy 2025. According to informed sources, the finalization of the selection process, conducted with national selectors after close-door consultations, is likely to feature players who have remained consistent in their performances at international stages. The likely announcement in the next two days is already pouring in excitement into the hearts of cricket lovers.


Sources reveal that few Pakistan cricketing superstars are going to be in the team, and some of them comprise Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Salman Agha, Kamran Ghulam, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi, and Abrar Ahmed. These cricketers have prior experience and form, which is going to help Pakistan in its preparation for the two high-stakes tournaments. Their inclusion leaves all the evidence of selectors' confidence upon them to deliver under the pressures.


Reports also suggest Fakhar Zaman, Khushdil Shah, and Saud Shakeel to have strong chances to be selected for both tournaments. Fakhar with his opener, Khushdil as the middle-order finisher, and Saud's consistencies would look good on board. It can add depth to Pakistan's batting line-up for such opponents who are likely to face them; New Zealand and South Africa can be challenging competitors.


However, there is a cloud of uncertainty over the inclusion of young talent Saim Ayub, who is suffering from an injury. Saim has shown great promise with his aggressive batting style and may miss out if he does not recover in time. Abbas Afridi and Aamir Jamal are also under consideration. Both have shown promise in domestic cricket. Their inclusion will give a fresh boost to the team, especially in the all-rounder department.


However, prospects such as Abdullah Shafique, Irfan Khan, Sufyan Muqeem, and Mohammad Hasnain are likely to miss the cut. Even though these players possess talent, they are left out of the fray since only a few positions are available, and the selectors prefer experience and fitness-oriented players. It is an inference made on handling pressure in big-ticket tournaments.


The Pakistan ODI team will start its preparation for the Tri-Nation Series on February 4. The matches held against New Zealand and South Africa will form a crucial testing ground for Pakistan to shave its skills before the Champions Trophy. Pakistan, as the defending champions, will be ready to strengthen their position in the world and produce a well-rounded performance. The people are eagerly awaiting the final team to be declared as the hopes for Pakistan cricket rest on them.

More than 1 mln people evacuated from Pakistan's Punjab due to floods

  Pakistan 's eastern towns of Chiniot and Hafizabad face a risk of catastrophic floods if an irrigation barrage crumbles on a major river upstream after heavy rains swelled it beyond capacity, officials warned on Thursday. Nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan are battling torrential monsoon rains that have unleashed flash floods , swelled rivers and filled dams, with 60 deaths this month in Indian Kashmir , and Pakistan's toll at 805 since late June. Any  flooding blamed on India stands to inflame relations between the archfoes, embroiled in a tense stand-off since a brief conflict in May that was their worst fighting in decades. The waters of the Chenab river in Pakistan's sprawling province of Punjab threatened to burst through a 3,300-foot (1,000-m) concrete barrage at Qadirabad that regulates flows, siphoning them into a canal irrigation network. "It is a crisis situation," said a technical expert at the National Disaster Management Authority ...

Young Shaheens’ Campaign Starts on a Sour Note: England Beat Pakistan by 37 Runs in U19 World Cup Opener

Well, that wasn’t the start we were hoping for, was it? Our young guns stumbled right out of the gates at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Harare, losing to England by 37 runs on Friday. And honestly, it hurts a bit more because we know these boys have it in them. England posted 210 runs in their innings, and Pakistan could only manage 173 in response, getting bowled out with still a few overs to spare. The batting lineup just never really got going, and that’s putting it mildly. Bowlers Did Their Job, Batters Couldn’t Deliver Credit where it’s due our bowling attack did exactly what we asked of them. Ahmed Hussain was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/38, while Abdul Subhan chipped in with 2/24 . They restricted England to what looked like a very chaseable total on paper. Honestly, 210 should’ve been within reach for these lads. The problem? Our batting completely collapsed. Pakistan were staring at a massive defeat at 85 for 6  before skipper Farhan Yousaf decided to take matt...
