(Image Source: Getty Images) The Pakistan team is near its downfall. They performed very shamefully in the ODI World Cup 2023, T20 World Cup 2024. After that, they lost the match against Bangladesh on home soil. They are facing criticism from the people of their own country for playing such shameful cricket. Many former cricketers are also included in this list. After losing the series against Bangladesh, PCB is very upset, so they have given a statement that they will organize a domestic tournament. Through this tournament, they are going to groom some talented players so that they can play better than the old players and take their place. Basit Ali gave this suggestion to PCB Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has suggested the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to adopt the Indian model for the structure of domestic cricket. He stressed that in recent times, India has produced many excellent players through its domestic structure. Basit Ali says that the Governing Council had earlier tried to adopt the systems of England, Australia and New Zealand, but they were not successful. That is why now the Indian system should be tried. “After the Test series there will be a one-day tournament called Champions Cup. Pakistan has copied the systems of England, Australia and New Zealand. India is right next to us, please copy their system too. Copying also requires intelligence. Just copy what India is doing. Duleep Trophy is about to start. Is it a T20 or ODI tournament? No, it is a four-day tournament. They have focused on making their base strong, that is why they are so successful.” Ali clearly states that India’s domestic structure is focused on strengthening the roots of Test cricket, hence their players are succeeding in Test cricket. Pakistan too must change its strategy and prioritise Test cricket for long-term success.

Pakistan Team (Pic Source: X) After the poor performance in ODI World Cup 2023, T20 World Cup 2024, it is clear that the level of Pakistan cricket team is declining. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said that Pakistan Cricket Board now needs “major surgery”. What does surgery mean? PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has now realized that the Pakistan team does not have the people and data to select talented players, due to which the national team is suffering. This comment of Naqvi was criticized by Pakistan lost their first test against Bangladesh It came a day after. Naqvi said, “The problem is that the selection committee does not have a group of players to select players from. I talked about surgery because we need to fix our problems. But when we look at how to solve them, we do not have any concrete data or more players to turn to for help. The whole system was messed up. The Champions Cup (Pakistan’s domestic tournament) will bring out the best talents and we will have records of many players.” The mission is to find talented players from domestic tournaments The PCB has appointed five mentors for the domestic Champions Cup starting in a few weeks which will be involved in five teams. Waqar Younis, Misbah-ul-Haq, Saqlain Mushtaq, Sarfraz Ahmed and Shoaib Malik will work as mentors. Their job will be to identify talented players of the country and give them opportunities. Naqvi said that the 150 players selected for the Champions Cup have been selected with the help of artificial intelligence. He said that the performance and record of the Champions Cup will help the selectors in making necessary changes in the senior team of Pakistan. Bad players will be immediately removed from Pakistan team Naqvi said, “We had many players whose records we did not have. This cup will strengthen domestic cricket, we will have a pool of 150 players, and then whatever surgery we need to do in the team, the selection committee will do it. People said ‘do it today, remove four-five players from the team and get rid of them’. But you cannot remove someone unless you have a better player to replace him”
“Has the pitch been made or..” Why did Naseem Shah raise questions on the pitches made by his own cricket board?
Naseem Shah, one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers, openly expressed his displeasure over the pitches in Pakistan in a press conference. Naseem Shah (Image Source: Twitter) The first match of the Test series is being played between Pakistan and Bangladesh. After the fourth day of the first Test match, a debate has once again erupted over the pitches in Pakistan. The condition of pitches in the country has been a controversial issue, especially following criticism during Pakistan’s home series against Australia and England in 2022. Critics said the pitches were highly favourable to the batsmen, leading to an unbalanced contest that did not suit Pakistan’s strengths. Hopes were high that the new administration would address these concerns by improving the quality of pitches for home Tests. However, similar problems have been reported in the ongoing Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, where the pitch remains highly favourable for batsmen. These questions are being raised after Bangladesh scored 565 runs in the first innings. Pakistani bowlers are now getting angry themselves This pitch has not only affected the competitiveness of the match but is also causing frustration among the Pakistani bowlers, who are struggling a lot. Naseem Shah, one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers, openly expressed his displeasure during the press conference. Let’s know what Naseem Shah said about the pitches Naseem said in the post-match press conference, “I believe we have played many such series where we have got such pitches. People tried their best to prepare a helpful pitch, but I think the surface was not that helpful due to the heat or excessive sunlight. We have to think about how we can take advantage of playing on home ground, because you have to win the match at any cost. We did not get the help from the pitch that we expected. But everyone tried their best.” Asked how Pakistan can take advantage of playing on home grounds, Naseem said efforts could be made to aid the spinners if green pitches are difficult to maintain. Naseem further said, “This is not my expertise, but we have to use the home advantage. If we cannot make green pitches that help fast bowlers, then give us pitches that help spinners. Test cricket has come a long way now. Fans are coming to watch matches even in this heat. You feel the need to entertain them. You should not feel that you are facing challenges while playing the game.”

Kamran Akmal (Photo Source: Twitter) The 2-match Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh is scheduled to start on August 21. The first Test between the two teams will be held in Rawalpindi, while the second Test is to be played at the National Stadium in Karachi. But now the PCB has issued an order that this match will be played in an empty stadium. The reason given by the PCB behind this is that renovation work is going on to improve the venue in view of the 2025 Champions Trophy. However, former Pakistan cricketer Kamran Akmal has criticised the PCB’s decision to hold the second Test against Bangladesh in Karachi without spectators and called it a “fair use” “International embarrassment” The former wicketkeeper-batsman said that the board could have organized the match in some other stadium as Pakistan has many options. Kamran Akmal said in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel “The second Test match will be played in Karachi. So I think you know that renovation work is going on in Karachi. They are preparing a stadium for the Champions Trophy. So it will be a joke on Pakistan that Test matches are being played in Pakistan without spectators. And we don’t just have 2-3 stadiums; we also have the Faisalabad stadium. We could have played there as well; it is a top-class stadium. A lot of cricket has happened there.” He further said, “There is a stadium in Multan. And you know that Multan Stadium is very good and the crowd also comes there. So you know that this is your stadium; you could have organized another Test match at any one of these two places. So it would have been good. So I think this would be a mockery of our cricket at the international level. Such things should not happen.”

It’s disappointing for him, but Saqib Mahmood has performed brilliantly for us throughout the tournament and showed his class in the last match. He will remain in the squad.” Gus Atkinson had a stellar performance in his first Test series against the West Indies last month. The young player took 22 wickets in three Tests at an average of 16.22, including two five-wicket hauls.
