The Chief of Army Staff, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, has requested assistance from Washington in achieving an early transfer of funds from the International Monetary Fund in order to help stabilize Pakistan's shrinking economy. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, according to security sources, spoke with the army chief earlier this week. It is stated that the army chief made a plea to the White House and Treasury Department to get the IMF to immediately supply the almost $1.2 billion that the country is slated to receive under a reopened loan program.

Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid, England players, met with former England captain Eoin Morgan to discuss the importance of Islam in their life and to educate the public on the delicate aspects of the Hajj journey.
This pair explained the information in a special Sky Sports video with former England captain Eoin Morgan.
Morgan, who just retired from international cricket, asked Adil & Moeen about the significance of their Muslim faith and the Hajj journey for billions of Muslims worldwide.
Moeen Ali, the first Muslim and British Asian to lead England in a T20I, declared that Islam is the most important element of his life and takes precedence over anything else. He also stated that this does not diminish his devotion to any other element of his life, including cricket.
Adil Rashid, who just returned to the England squad after doing Hajj, spoke about its relevance and the experience he had.
"It was an incredible experience," Rashid said. Something that we as Muslims must do if we have the resources, the ability, and the mental and physical fitness. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It teaches a lot of things, like patience and being appreciative for what you have."
Both players praised the variety inside the England dressing room and noted that the acceptance of the whole group made it simpler for them to fit into the team.
