ایسے ممالک جن کا دنیا میں اب کوئی وجود نہیں

آزادی کا حصول کبھی بھی آسان نہیں رہا٬ اس کے لیے ایک طویل وقت تک سیاسی جنگ لڑنے کے علاوہ اپنی جان و مال کی قربانی دینا پڑتی ہے-اور تب کہیں جا کر آزادی نصیب ہوتی ہے اور ایک نیا ملک قائم ہوتا ہے- اس ملک کو پروان چڑھانے کے لیے بھی کاوشوں اور قربانیوں کا سلسلہ جاری رہتا ہے ورنہ ملک اپنا وجود قائم نہیں رکھ پاتا- دنیا کے نقشے پر کئی ایسے نئے ملک ابھرے جو زیادہ عرصے تک اپنا وجود برقرار نہ رکھ سکے اور مختلف بحرانوں اور انتشار کا شکار بن کر جلد ہی دنیا سے ہمیشہ کے لیے غائب ہوگئے- Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
روسی سوشلسٹ ریاستوں کا مجموعہ (مختصراً USSR) جسے عام طور پر سوویت اتحاد کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے۔ یہ آئینی اعتبار سے اشتراکی ریاست تھی جو یوریشیا میں 1922ء سے 1991ء تک قائم رہی۔ روس یعنی رشیا اس اتحاد کی سب سے زیادہ طاقتور ریاست کا نام ہے۔ 1945ء سے لے کر 1991ء تک اس کو امریکہ کے ساتھ دنیا کی ایک عظیم طاقت (Super Power) مانا جاتا تھا۔ متعدد ریاستوں کا مجموعہ ہونے کی وجہ سے یہ اس وقت دنیا کا سب سے بڑا ملک بھی تھا-لیکن کئی بحران کا شکار ہونے کی وجہ سے 1991ء میں سوویت اتحاد تحلیل ہو گیا اور اس کے بعد متعدد ریاستیوں نے آزادی کا اعلان کردیا- Yugoslavia
یوگوسلاویہ یورپ میں واقع ملک تھا اور یہ پہلی بار 1918 میں قائم ہوا- اس کا قیام دو ریاستوں، ریاست سلووینیا، کروشیا اور سربیا اور مملکت سربیا کے اتحاد سے عمل میں آیا۔ لیکن 1929 میں سرکاری طور پر باقاعدہ اس ملک نام تبدیل یوگوسلاویہ رکھ دیا گیا- دوسری عالمی جنگ کے بعد یہ ایک کمیونسٹ ملک بن گیا اور Josip Tito کی حکمرانی میں آگیا- 1980 میں جوسپ کی موت کے بعد یہ خانہ جنگی کا شکار ہوا ۔ جس کے نتیجے میں 7 نئی ریاستیں وجود میں آئیں اور یہ ملک اپنا وجود کھو بیٹھا- ان 7 نئی ریاستوں میں بوسنیا ہرزگوینا٬ کروشیا٬ مقدونیہ٬ کوسوو٬ مونٹینگورو٬ سربیا اور سلوینیہ شامل ہیں- Rhodesia
یہ ملک جنوبی وسطی افریقہ کے خطے میں قائم تھا جسے آج زمبابوے اور زیمبیا کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے- اس ملک نے 1965 میں اپنی آزادی کا اعلان کیا لیکن یہ غیر تسلیم شدہ رہا- یہ ملک اس وقت تک ایک ایسی برطانوی افریقی کمپنی کے زیرِ انتظام رہا جو سونے اور کوئلے کی تلاش کا کام کرتی تھی- 1979 میں ایک جنگ کے بعد بالآخر اسے آزادی حاصل ہوگئی- اور اس کے بعد 1980 میں اسے زمبابوے کے طور پر تسلیم کیا گیا- Austria-Hungary
1921 میں روس کی مدد سے Bolsheviks نے Tuvan People’s Republic نامی ملک تشکیل دیا گیا- اس ملک کی خودمختاری اور آزادی کو صرف سوویت یونین اور منگولیہ نے تسلیم کیا- یہ ملک 1944 تک قائم رہا اور اس کے بعد سوویت یونین کے ساتھ اس کا الحاق ہوگیا- آج اسے Tuva Republic کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے اور یہ روسی فیڈریشن کا حصہ ہے-

Bates takes an absolute screamer

Stars opener Lizelle Lee greeted Devine at the bowling crease with a six and a four off her first two balls but the Kiwi won the battle when the hard-hitting South African spooned the fourth ball - a slower offering - to Megan Schutt at cover.
Only Mignon du Preez (33) was able to get going for the Stars, whose top order faltered badly, largely at the hands of Devine who chalked up just the fourth five-wicket haul in WBBL history.

Bangladesh vs West Indies 3rd T20 Highlights:

After all said and done, the much-talked incident will go down to be the controversial no ball in the 4th over when Liton Das was caught out in Oshane Thomas’ over. West Indies united after that dismissal and attacked Bangladesh with quick, relentless bowling. The hosts went down from 65/1 in 4.1 overs to 140 all out.
Windies won by 50 runs and clinched the series 2-1. Keemo Paul took a fifer to be the hero for the visitors. Earlier, Windies opening batsman Evin Lewis had fired 89 runs in 36 balls to take his side to 190 in 20 overs.

2019 Cricket World Cup


The 2019 Cricket World Cup (officially ICC Cricket World Cup 2019) is the 12th edition of the Cricket World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by England and Wales,[1][2] from 30 May to 14 July 2019.[3]
The hosting rights were awarded in April 2006, after England and Wales withdrew from the bidding to host the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, which was held in Australia and New Zealand. The first match will be played at The Oval while the final will be played at Lord's. It is the fifth time that the Cricket World Cup will be held in England and Wales, following the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups.
The format for the tournament will be a single group of ten teams, with each team playing the other nine teams, and the top four teams progressing to a knockout stage of semi-finals and a final. The ten team tournament has gained criticism due to the lack of Associate teams in the tournament. Given the increase of the Test playing nations from 10 to 12, with the admission of Ireland and Afghanistan in June 2017, it will be the first World Cup to be contested without all of the Test playing nations being present,[4] and after the elimination of all the Associate teams at the qualifying tournament, this will be also be the first World Cup to feature no Associate members.

The 2019 World Cup will feature 10 teams, a decrease from previous World Cups in 2011 and 2015 which featured 14 teams.[5] The hosts, England, and the top seven other teams in the ICC One Day International rankings as of 30 September 2017 earned automatic qualification, with the remaining two spots being decided by the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[6]
At the time of the announcement of the qualification structure, ICC Associate and Affiliate members, who were guaranteed four spots in the previous two World Cup tournaments, could be represented by at most two teams, and possibly none at all if they were beaten by the lowest ranked Full Members in the Qualifier.[6] It also meant that at least two of the 10 Test playing nations at the time of the announcement would have to play in the qualifying tournament, and could possibly miss the World Cup finals entirely.
Following recent success, Ireland and Afghanistan were promoted into the ICC ODI Championship and have also since been promoted to full members of the ICC, becoming the newest Test cricketing nations. However, they still needed to qualify for the World Cup via the current process.
Afghanistan won the qualifying tournament defeating the West Indies in the final. Both teams qualified for the World Cup, while Zimbabwe despite hosting the qualifying tournament failed to reach the final and will miss the World Cup for the first time since 1983.[7] Recently appointed full member Ireland will also miss the World Cup for the first time since 2007 and for the first time ever no Associate nation will be participating in the World Cup.[8]
