Former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram has criticized the PCB’s schedule for the national team, saying that frequent tours to Zimbabwe will not be good for the team in the long run. Pakistan won the T20I and Test series in Zimbabwe, but lost one T20I. They were then defeated 0–3 by England in ODIs and 1–2 in T20Is in England.
“I want to meet the talent who is organizing the tour of Zimbabwe. I want to give them extra praise and say ‘Well done, you’ve done a great job’. It’s not going to help us.” It will only help them. Once in four years, I am fine with it. If you compare with India. They have one team in Sri Lanka, the other in England. And they can make another team. They have 10 years First improved his system. He invested the money, brought in professionals,” Akram said on ARY News.
Akram is part of the cricket committee and said that the people of the country should change their attitude towards selection.
“Dear Pakistanis, please… I am talking about educated people. Stop calling. Stop recommending. This is the twenty-first century. Before selection, I get calls, ‘Choose this player, choose that player. Choose.’ If you want a player to look up to a player, that’s a different thing, but asking to pick that person is a shame.”
After the debacle in England, Ramiz Raja, in his YouTube channel, called for more youngsters in the team.
“An extremely painful and difficult day for Pakistan Cricket and its fans. The team has been eliminated by the B-grade team of England. I’m not surprised by the results as it was on the cards. This team was mentally shattered. They could not recover from the shock of their loss in the first ODI as headlines were everywhere that a B team assembled within two days had defeated Pakistan.
“After the loss, they came under pressure and that’s why they made mistakes. This has become a trend for the Pakistan team. It doesn’t learn from mistakes. Instead, they double it under pressure.
“It is time for a change. They need to change their mindset and experiment with new talent. The think tank for Pakistan cricket needs to undergo a massive change.”
