The Pakistan cricket team’s performance in the ICC World Cup has been disappointing. In 2023, they were eliminated from the ODI World Cup and in 2024, they were knocked out of the group stage of the T20 World Cup. Their losses against USA and India were particularly disheartening for fans, especially as they came close to victory against India but could not capitalize on the opportunity.
Former Pakistan team captain and ex-Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ramiz Raja expressed his frustration at the team’s poor performance. He criticized the decision to bring back retired players and neglect young talent in the T20 World Cup. Raja highlighted the importance of leadership, discipline, and merit in building a successful team and stressed the need for making decisions based on cricket knowledge and morals.
According to Raja, similar mistakes have been made by Pakistan in previous tournaments such as in 2003 when they relied on aging superstars for their experience. He emphasized the importance of allowing leadership to flourish within the team, making decisions based on cricket expertise, and avoiding interference from outside influences. Raja warned against sacrificing players to protect one’s own position, stating that such actions are detrimental to the team’s success.
In conclusion, Pakistan’s poor performance in recent tournaments is a cause for concern among fans and former cricketers alike. The team must address their mistakes and learn from them if they want to be successful in future tournaments.
