Wasim Akram (Photo Source: Pakistan cricket has been in the news for the last few months. Coaches, players, captains – everything has changed. However, despite many changes in the support staff and backroom staff, the situation in Pakistan is not improving. Recently, Pakistan lost the Test series to Bangladesh on its own soil and then lost the first Test of the ongoing series against England despite a huge score of 556 runs in the first innings. Meanwhile, former England cricketer Nasir Hussain has spoken openly on the entire situation and said that the cricket board should not be blamed for the performance, but the players. It is noteworthy that after losing the first Test against England, Pakistan made many changes before the second Test and dropped Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah from the team. Former England captain Nasir Hussain gave his opinion about the current situation of Pakistan cricket and said that the turmoil happening in Pakistan cricket has nothing to do with the form of Babar and Shaheen. The former English captain has directly admitted that those running Pakistani cricket from behind are the biggest culprits. Nasir Hussain, while talking to SKY Sports, commented on Pakistan cricket and said, “The issue is not about Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi or Naseem Shah… the issue is about the governance of Pakistan cricket behind the scenes.” Wasim Akram has also reacted to the statement of former Pakistan captain.

How many selectors have there been in England? Maybe two or three. But if you keep changing selectors, coaches, captains, keep reshuffling the leadership…then it is impossible to plan ahead.

It is unfortunate not to be able to play in front of our home crowd.

It is worth noting that after the Cricket World Cup 2023 held in India, Babar Azam left the captaincy of Pakistan in all three formats. After this, PCB handed over the captaincy to Shan Masood in Test cricket and Shaheen Afridi in T20 format. However, after losing the T20 series against New Zealand 4-1, the PCB removed Shaheen from the captaincy and once again made Babar Azam the captain of the team in white ball cricket. This was Shaheen’s first series as captain. On the other hand, now Imad Wasim has given a big statement on all this. Wasim says that Pakistan has once again flopped under the leadership of Babar and now his captaincy is in danger. Imad Wasim gave a big statement Let us tell you that in a recent interview with Saj Sadiq, Imad Wasim said – I was surprised, what can I say about this. But in the end it was the decision of the selectors. Whatever option they thought was good, they chose it and after that selected the team. Not only me but everyone in Pakistan was surprised. So, I cannot say that I was not surprised. Imad further said on Pakistan’s defeat in the T20 World Cup- Yes, honestly, our performance was not good and we have to accept it, including me. I think our team was good, but it did not succeed. This can happen in any format, especially in T20, but yes, it was disappointing. I was really disappointed, it took me a long time to recover from it.

Jaffer made a reference to England’s Ashes win on Australian soil, where they have not won a single match in the last decade. Jaffer replied, “I would say it in the context of the Ashes, Michael. India won the same number of Tests in that series as England have won in Australia in the last 12 years.” See the tweets of both I’ll put it in Ashes terms for you Michael.

The England team led by Ben Stokes was defeated 1-4 by the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma. After this defeat, the England team slipped very low in the WTC points table. However, England won two Test matches each against West Indies and Sri Lanka at home, which improved the team’s position in the points table to some extent. Now the England team is preparing for the final Test match against Sri Lanka, which will be played at the Oval in London from September 6. Meanwhile, India is also preparing for the two-Test series against Bangladesh, which will be played in Chennai and Kanpur respectively. The series will start from September 19 and the Indian team is committed to perform well in it.
