The national cricket team of Pakistan has been in the news, and for all the wrong reasons, ever since they suffered a sweep in a 2-match Test series at the hands of Bangladesh in Pakistan. The Green Shirts could not win any of the two Tests played against the visiting side, which brings up worrying issues concerning the playing and the management of the team.
This shocking series win-loss ratio of 2 – 0 at home has brought to the fore Pakistan’s woeful performance in Test cricket since they haven’t won any match on home soil in the last ten games. All this has been apparent onfield and off it too, and that has led some former cricketer Rashid Latif to pour some very nasty comments.
It had already started frustrating former Pakistan cricketer. He went on to state unseemly the ‘Pakistan cricket aajkal ICU mein Dung H karekee. Inhe professional doctor chaiye hoga [Pakistan cricket is currently in the ICU. They will need a professional doctor].
He further pointed out that people and more so, experts should be allowed to manage the team who are well versed in their areas of work both in terms of workout as well as budgets. “They need technically sound professionals to run things, both physically and financially. Trainers and many other things are required. You can see there are many problems, whether it’s on the field or off the field,” Latif said.
