Indus Yaqeen attended epsilon III – Alpha College

Karachi, January 24, 2023 (PPI-OT):Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) attended the closing ceremony of Epsilon III, hosted by Alpha College, a long-time partner of Indus Yaqeen – IHHN’s youth engagement program working to empower the future leaders of Pakistan.

Each year the STEM Society of Alpha College curates an experience for their participants through Epsilon III. The 3-day event provides the most out-of-the-box activities and competitions related to mathematics, robotics, biology, general knowledge, and many more.

IHHN’s information desk, led by Mr. Abdullah Khan, was successfully managed by 5 Indus Yaqeen volunteers. All are students of Alpha College. Under their leadership, 110 students signed up for the Indus Yaqeen program, which provides volunteers with the opportunity to help the underserved and underprivileged communities within Pakistan. This empowers these young change-makers and instils valuable lessons of leadership, perseverance, compassion, and civic duty.

Dr. Abdul Bari Khan, President of IHHN, also gave a speech to the students attending EPSILON III. His talk chronicled his experience growing IHHN from a 150-bed hospital in Korangi, Karachi, to the nationwide healthcare network it is today. During his speech, Dr. Abdul Bari Khan encouraged the students to take the initiative and help bring about change for the better for those less fortunate than themselves.

Problem-Solving Skills – Ehsaas Ka Safar 2.0

Karachi, January 24, 2023 (PPI-OT):Hosted by Indus Hospital and Health Network’s (IHHN) Cochlear Implant Program, Ehsaas Ka Safar 2.0 – a parental training series – recently held its fourth session on January 20, 2023. Led by the ENT department’s Psychologist, Ms. Humaira Kaleem, the session educated the parents of children with a Cochlear Implant on practical problem-solving skills.

Ehsaas Ka Safar 2.0 – Background:

While working with patients from various socio-economic backgrounds, the Cochlear Implant Program at IHHN discovered a need for a Parental Training Workshop Series, as parents must work with their children at home to ensure their ongoing development. To meet this need, the program started Ehsaas Ka Safar 2.0, a monthly series of training workshops to teach parents effective management techniques. The series is sponsored by Oriental Sales Cooperation.

“Ehsaas Ka Safar 2.0”’s earlier workshops discussed problems encountered while parenting children. The topics in previous sessions were The ABC of parenting, How to discipline a stubborn child, and Maternal mental health’s influence on the child. While all the problems were discussed and addressed, their solutions were yet to be given.

This month’s session taught participants practical problem-solving skills. A discussion was held on the difference between problems and solutions, the standard set on solving problems versus how problems should be handled on an individual level.

Session Activities:

The session started with a discussion on the five (05) steps involved in problem-solving:

Define the problem

Root-Cause analysis

Countermeasure development

Implementing solutions

Evaluation and follow up

Parents were also taught how to help their children develop independent problem-solving skills. This includes encouraging their child, and teaching them how to identify a problem, find a solution, and take adequate action.

A discussion on the “Nine Key Strategies for Raising Children Who Make Responsible Choices” followed. This section included activities that emphasized the importance of play in a child’s development and how parent interactions can help the child make responsible choices.

As part of a group discussion, parents were asked about their child’s tantrums. Ms. Kaleem helped them identify the trigger and guide them by giving some creative methods through which parents can encourage their children to express their feelings.

The session helped participants understand that temper tantrums result from holding the child to high expectations and inconsistency in parental attitude. To avoid this, parents should provide children quality time and prepare them for adulthood. Good parental support in childhood results in good support from the child in the future.

The session concluded with a deep-breathing relaxation exercise which helped participants learn how to shut off their fight-or-flight mode and remain rational when dealing with their child’s behavioural concerns and tantrums. This way, parents can identify their child’s misconduct triggers and deal with them using effective strategies instead of responding with aggression and anger.

The final message on which the session ended was, “To discipline the child, parents need to discipline themselves.”

Mir Jan Muhammad Khan Jamali, acting Governor of Balochistan, visits Indus Hospital and Health Network, Karachi

Karachi, January 24, 2023 (PPI-OT):The Indus Hospital, Korangi Campus, was visited by Mir Jan Muhammad Khan Jamali, the acting Governor of Balochistan, on January 18, 2023. The trip signifies the close relationship shared by Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) and the Balochistan Government as both parties actively work to deliver state-of-the-art care to the people of Balochistan under a Public-Private partnership.

Mr. Jamali was received by Dr. Abdul Bari Khan, President of IHHN, and Mashood Rizvi, Executive Director of IHHN’s Communication and Resource Directorate. The Governor toured the entire facility, especially the pediatric oncology unit, and met with the patients under treatment.

During his meeting with IHHN’s senior leadership officials, Mr. Jamali expressed his heartfelt gratitude to IHHN for the remarkable work done through its health-on-wheels medical facility in Usta Muhammad – a district in the eastern part of Balochistan, which has been established in partnership with the Government of Balochistan, and the International Committee of Red Cross (ICRC).

In Usta Muhammad, the Health-on-Wheels facility is delivering primary care and maternal healthcare services to people who previously suffered from limited access to affordable medical supplies and treatment. A native of the district, Mr. Jamali was especially moved by IHHN’s commitment to stay and serve the people in this difficult and testing time after the flash floods.

Impressed by the high quality of care and efficient services being delivered at The Indus Hospital, Korangi Campus, and Mr. Jamali requested that a currently non-operational 20-bed facility located in Usta Muhammad be placed under the management of Indus Hospital and Health Network.

At the end of the visit, Mr. Mir Jan Muhammad Khan Jamali and Dr. Abdul Bari Khan exchanged mementos of appreciation. Both parties expressed hope that IHHN and the Government of Balochistan will continue to strengthen their long-standing relationship to achieve IHHN’s noble vision of providing excellence in healthcare to all to please the Almighty (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala).

India batters surge in MRF Tyres ICC Women’s T20i Player Rankings

Dubai, January 24, 2023 (PPI-OT):Captain Harmanpreet Kaur is among the India batters to rise in the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s T20I Player Rankings after her team won their first two matches of the ongoing tri-series in South Africa in preparation of next month’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

Kaur’s 35-ball 56 not out against the West Indies has lifted her three places to 11th position while all-rounder Deepti Sharma’s knock of 33 in the preceding win against South Africa has taken her to a career-best 25th position in the latest weekly update. Deepti has also moved up one place to second among all-rounders.

India opener Smriti Mandhana, who was named Player of the Match against the Windies for striking 74 not out off 51 balls, remains the top-ranked batter from her country in third position, earning nine rating points to reach 736 points. Mandhana was ranked second in September last year and is now 24 points behind Beth Mooney in the list led by Tahlia McGrath with 814 points.

South Africa captain Sune Luus’s scores of 29 and 30 in two matches see her move from 47th to 45th position. Chloe Tryon and Marizanne Kapp have also progressed.

In the T20I bowling rankings, South Africa’s left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has moved four places to a career-best fourth position after grabbing three wickets in two matches. India’s Sneh Rana is in the top 10 while Ayabonga Khaka (up four places to 16th), Rajeshwari Gayakwad (up 10 places to 18th) and Radha Yadav (up 12 places to 28th) are the other notable gainers.

In the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s ODI Player Rankings, Australia batters Beth Mooney and Meg Lanning have advanced two places each to second and fifth positions, respectively, after helping Australia complete a 3-0 whitewash over Pakistan in their ICC Women’s Championship series. Mooney was named Player of the Series after scores of 57 not out and 133 in the second and third match, while Lanning scored 67 and 72 the two times she batted.

Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof has gained three slots to reach 22nd position after aggregating 93 runs in the series, while Nida Dar has also gained three places to reach 32nd position.

In the bowling rankings, Australia spinner Ashleigh Gardner has moved up seven places to 13th after finishing with five wickets in the series and Ellyse Perry is up one place to 12th. Alana King (up eight places to 32nd) and Darcie Brown (up two places to 40th) have also gained.

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023: Players to watch

Dubai, January 24, 2023 (PPI-OT):There will barely be the need for floodlights at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 with all the stars on show.

Ten teams will battle it out to get their hands on the trophy Australia currently hold and they will need big individual performances if they are to come out on top.

Here is a selection of the players, from established stars to new kids on the block, to take note of ahead of the action getting underway.

Australia

Ashleigh Gardner

1,031 runs at an average of 26.43, 42 wickets at an average of 20.83

Australian all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner sealed her place in the history books when she took the winning catch in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022 final and has kept improving since cementing her place in a stacked batting line-up.

She reached the summit of the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s Rankings for T20I All-rounders for the first time in December 2022 after 115 runs and seven wickets in Australia’s series against India.

Heather Graham

Seven wickets at 10.00, best figures of four for eight

Heather Graham had to patiently wait for her return to international cricket having played one ODI in 2019. She was called into the 2022 World Cup squad for a single match after Gardner’s positive Covid test but did not play.

In December, however, the medium-pace all-rounder made her T20I debut and quickly made an impact, taking three for 22 against India before rounding off the series with figures of four for eight.

Bangladesh

Nigar Sultana

1,225 runs at 24.50, 18 catches, 27 stumpings

Last year, Nigar Sultana led her side to a first appearance at an ODI World Cup, now she will hope to guide her side to the semi-finals of the T20 tournament for the first time.

The wicketkeeper, 25, was Bangladesh’s leading run-scorer in 2022 across both white-ball formats, leading the way in the Asia Cup and T20I and ODI series against New Zealand, amassing 367 T20 runs across the year.

Nahida Akter

72 wickets at 13.19, best figures of five for 12

Nigar topped the run charts but young spinner Nahida Akter was top of the wicket-taking table for Bangladesh with 22 across the year.

Nahida made her debut as a 15-year-old and seven years later took her first T20I five-wicket haul against Kenya in the Commonwealth Games qualifiers.

England

Nat Sciver

1,959 runs at 25.11, 78 wickets at 20.94

England all-rounder Nat Sciver had a remarkable 2022 on and off the pitch. Sciver twice scored centuries in losing causes against Australia at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, married teammate Katherine Brunt and took a three-month break from the game for her mental health.

Sciver, who ended 2022 as a nominee for the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy for ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year, marked her return by being named Player of the Series as England whitewashed the West Indies.

Charlie Dean

11 wickets at 5.90, best figures of four for 19

Off-spinner Charlie Dean made her England debut across all three formats in the space of four months before taking 11 wickets at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2022.

Dean celebrated her first England contract by excelling in her side’s tour of the West Indies, taking 11 wickets across four T20Is.

India

Smriti Mandhana

2,565 runs at 27.28 with a best score of 86

With legendary captain Mithali Raj retiring, India needed a new leader with the bat and Smriti Mandhana has taken up the mantle.

Mandhana played a key role when India handed Australia their only defeat of 2022, named player of the match after scoring 79 runs, plus 13 in the super over. The left-hander also picked up a nomination for the ICC Women’s T20I Cricketer of the Year.

Renuka Singh

23 wickets at 25.08, best of four for 10

Renuka Singh made her debut for India at the end of 2021 but announced herself on the world stage at the Commonwealth Games last summer, taking 11 wickets including four for 18 in their opener against Australia.

At the Asia Cup, Singh proved she is a big game player, taking three for five against Sri Lanka in the final, earning the player of the match award and a nomination for ICC Emerging Women’s Cricketer of the Year.

Ireland

Gaby Lewis

1,441 runs at 26.20 with a best of 105 not out

Ireland are returning to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup for the first time since 2018 and vice-captain Gaby Lewis will be on hand to provide plenty of their runs.

Lewis made her international debut aged only 13 and has since crunched 1441 runs, including 144 in Ireland’s three-match series against Pakistan in November 2022, when she was named player of the series.

Arlene Kelly

60 runs at 7.50, 21 wickets at 15.23

Auckland-born all-rounder Arlene Kelly stepped onto the world stage in 2022 and was soon leaving batters dumbfounded with her right-arm medium pace.

The 29-year-old has taken 21 wickets at an average of just 15.23, and while she is yet to truly shine with the bat, her 28 not out against Bangladesh last September is the highest score made by a number nine in Women’s T20Is.

New Zealand

Eden Carson

11 wickets at 11.81, with a best of two for 12

Eden Carson’s debut tournament ended with a shiny bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games and she will be hoping for something similar as New Zealand search for a first T20 title.

In only eight matches, the off-spinner has faced three of the White Ferns’ group stages opponents, including taking three wickets in two matches against Bangladesh, but she will face the biggest test of her credentials so far when they take on holders and rivals Australia in their opening game.

Jess Kerr

12 wickets 24.16, with a best of two for 13

Jess Kerr occasionally lived in younger sister Amelia’s shadow during their early careers but has now carved out a place in the New Zealand side as an opening bowler.

Kerr missed the Commonwealth Games with an injury but has made up for it by gaining experience in international T20 leagues, playing alongside her sister at Brisbane Heat and London Spirit with both also representing Wellington in New Zealand – as both their mother and father had done before them.

Pakistan

Tuba Hassan

14 wickets at 16.42, best of three for eight

Tuba Hassan had a debut to remember in May 2022, taking three for eight against Sri Lanka in a sign of what is to come for the leg-spinner.

An ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for May followed, Tuba having taken five wickets across the Sri Lanka series while conceding just 3.66 runs per over, making history as the first Pakistani women to claim the prize.

Nida Dar

1,603 runs at 18.42, 118 wickets at 18.18

All-rounder Nida Dar followed Tuba in winning the ICC Player of the Month award in October, her imperious form producing 145 runs at an average of 72.50 as well as eight wickets during Pakistan’s Asia Cup campaign.

Across 124 T20I matches for Pakistan, Nida has been dependable with bat and ball, taking 118 wickets – second behind the West Indies’ Anisa Mohammad in the all-time rankings – and contributing seven fifties.

South Africa

Laura Wolvaardt

776 runs at 28.74, with a high score of 55 not out

When Laura Wolvaardt brings out her cover drive, people stop and take notice.

The right-hander’s favourite shot is a thing of beauty but there is a grit to Wolvaardt too, which she displayed when making 41 off 27 as South Africa tried, and ultimately failed, to beat Australia in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020 semi-final.

Nonkululeko Mlaba

16 wickets at 26.81 with a best of three for 22

Part of the new guard of South African stars, Nonkululeko Mlaba had a slow start to life on the international stage but has put in performances when needed in the lead-up to a home World Cup.
The slow left-armer has played only one T20I at home so far and shone in Derby during South Africa’s tour of England, taking three for 22 as one of only two Proteas bowlers to go at under six an over.

Sri Lanka

Inoka Ranaweera

68 wickets at 17.94 with a best of four for seven

Inoka Ranaweera had never taken four wickets in a T20I until 2022, when she took four for seven in just two overs against Bangladesh as Sri Lanka went on a fairytale run to the final of the Asia Cup for the first time in 14 years.

The slow left-armer took a joint-best 13 wickets across the tournament before ending as Sri Lanka’s top scorer in the final with 18 not out.

Harshitha Samarawickrama

508 runs at 18.81 with a high of 81

Harshitha Samarawickrama was Sri Lanka’s highest run-scorer at the Asia Cup, behind only Jemimah Rodrigues of India in the tournament as a whole.

Samarawickrama made the highest score of the competition with 81 off 69 balls against Thailand helping her total career run tally to 508 runs from 33 matches.

West Indies

Hayley Matthews

1,326 runs at 18.41, 72 wickets at 17.33

Captain extraordinaire Hayley Matthews will lead West Indies in a World Cup for the first time having delivered for her side on several occasions – most notably in the 2016 final.

The all-rounder was the Windies’ top-scorer in the showpiece with 66 runs from 45 balls, also taking one for 13, and now leads the Caribbean side through a transitional period.

Karishma Ramharack

11 wickets at 27.00 with a best of three for eight

With a new era underway for West Indies women’s cricket, the Maroon Warriors need reliability and Karishma Ramharack can provide just that.

The off-spinner has one of the best economy rates of the current crop of Windies bowlers, going at a tick over six an over, and combined her usual miserly form with a wicket-taking threat during her career-best three for eight against South Africa.

In total, 11 countries are represented across the various line-ups, which feature a number of World Cup winners, ICC Players of the Month and some of the most exciting emerging talents from the past calendar year.

Teams were identified from selections submitted by the specialist panel of media representatives that make up the ICC Voting Academy.

Australia clinched the silverware back in March, and two figures who contributed significantly to their triumph are named in the Team – Beth Mooney and the ICC Player of the Tournament, Alyssa Healy – both of whom rank in the top two of the MRF Tyres ICC Women’s ODI Player Rankings for batters.

South Africa’s Laura Wolvaardt enjoyed another remarkable run in 2022, scoring more runs than any other batter in ODIs, and her compatriot Shabnim Ismail joins her in this illustrious XI as the leading wicket-taker during the year in the format.

The Women’s ODI Team of the Year also boasts several other prolific wicket-takers, including India’s Renuka Singh, who flourished in her first full year of ODI cricket, and the top-ranked bowler in the format, England’s Sophie Ecclestone, who claimed the most wickets in New Zealand during the Women’s CWC.

Heading into ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup year, the Men’s ODI Team of the Year spans the last 12 months of competitive bilateral cricket, and no fewer than seven nations are represented in the lineup for 2022.

Pakistan’s Babar Azam is named in the XI as captain for the second consecutive year, after scoring 679 runs at a phenomenal average of 84.87 to consolidate his position at the summit of the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s ODI Player Rankings for batters.

Babar leads the side which includes top run scorer in ODIs, India’s Shreyas Iyer, who registered 724 runs in his 17 matches. Shai Hope also features after another impressive year for West Indies, sharing three centuries apiece with the skipper.

Another player who celebrated three centuries was Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza. The ICC Men’s Player of the Month for August peaked in 2022, attaining his highest ranking position among all-rounder’s during the year.

The bowling line-up boasts pace, spin expertise, and plenty of wicket-taking ability. Four of the top five leading ODI wicket-takers of 2022 are named in the Men’s ODI Team of the Year – Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mohammed Siraj, Alzarri Joseph and Adam Zampa. Completing the bowling attack is the number one-ranked bowler in the format, New Zealand paceman Trent Boult.

Tahlia McGrath claimed the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award in August following her inspired campaign at the Commonwealth Games, and she reached her highest rating in December at the summit of the Women’s T20I batter rankings. Similarly, teammate Ash Gardner rose to the top of the Women’s T20I all-rounder rankings in December, clinching the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award in the same month.

India’s Smriti Mandhana opens the batting, and she ended 2022 as the highest run scorer in Women’s T20Is during the year with 594 runs in total. Her compatriots Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh lead the bowling line-up, with the former having taken more wickets than any other player in Women’s T20Is.

Supported by Pakistan’s Nida Dar, Sri Lanka’s Inoka Ranaweera and number one-ranked bowler Sophie Ecclestone, the ICC Women’s T20I Team of the Year took 153 T20I wickets in 2022, leaving no doubt as to the firepower they possess.

The line-up for the ICC Men’s T20I Team of the Year includes many familiar names from the breath-taking action that unfolded at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia. Jos Buttler secured the England captaincy in June, and is selected the skipper of this dream team after sealing the silverware down under.

Buttler also opens the batting alongside Mohammad Rizwan, who scored ten half-centuries during the year and fell agonizingly short of 1,000 T20I runs. In fact the only player to surpass this milestone was India’s Suryakumar Yadav, and the number-one ranked batter was in blistering form during the Men’s T20WC.

Yadav is one of three Indian players named in the XI, with Hardik Pandya slotting in together with Virat Kohli, whose excellent performances in the tournament earned him the ICC Player of the Month accolade for October.

The bowling attack features prolific Irishman Josh Little, who was the leading wicket-taker in the format for the year with 39 wickets at an average of 18.92.

Sikandar Raza was an integral figure for Zimbabwe in T20Is through the year, not least in qualifying, and he is one of two expert spinners in the side. Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka took more wickets than anybody in the Men’s T20WC, and another star of the tournament completes the lineup – the Player of the Match in the Final, and the Player of the Tournament, England’s Sam Curran.
