Cricket experts berate Pakistan’s Champions Trophy exit, loss to India | Cricket News

Depression and demands for wholesale changes. Pakistan was immersed after the hosts after the hosts Shattered From the Champions Cup in the group stage, hardly a week to celebrate The return of the main championship.

Holders of the elements lost Their opening match for New Zealand is 60 races in Karachi on Wednesday, before the six -day defeat to Archrivals India Pay them to the edge of the early way out.

Pakistan needed Bangladesh to beat New Zealand on Monday to keep its high hopes in a place in the semi -finals, but the result was in the other direction.

On Thursday’s match with Bangladesh in Rawalpindi was reduced to a tense match.

“These players have been supported over the past few years, but they do not learn or improve,” former Captain Wassim Akram told news agency.

It is time to get rid of. We need to improve our local cricket system so that we can produce high -quality cricket players, not the normal player. “

Lack of competitiveness in the local cricket game and low -quality playgrounds has been blamed for not preparing players for the international stage.

Critics say that sport in Pakistan is also suspended through frequent changes on the cricket plate, training teams and selection panels.

Such changes are driven by politics, not merit, according to observers.

“I feel very desperate with Pakistan Cricket State,” said former captain Rashid Livor.

“We have to follow the merit and bring professionals to manage the game, not people on a political basis.

“Repeated changes in the Pakistani Cricket Council (PCB), and the Selection and Coptic Committee failed to form an appropriate group and a team.”

The early exclusion stings of a country hosted the first major Cricket championship in 29 years, after major security improvements.

The former Pakistan captain and the famous martyr of Ephidi accused Pakistan of playing outdated cricket game.

He said: “In 2025, Pakistan was playing the role of cricket in the 1980s and 1990s, while the other teams advanced well to adopt an aggressive and modern style.”

“We need a comprehensive reform of the regime so that we can produce players with an aggressive mentality.”

“Cricket is dead in Pakistan”

“We felt overwhelmed by an international event recently returned to our country, but joy did not last long,” said Omar Siraj, 26, a pharmacist in Rawalpindi.

“The most difficult part of being a fan of Pakistan is that you end up praying for other teams to lose,” laughed. “It is painful. I am upset.”

Nothing new. It also crashed from the ODI 2023 World Cup in the first round of India.

This was followed by their exit at the same stage in the TWENTY20 World Cup in the United States and the West India Islands last year – a championship won by the neighbors of India.

Last month, Pakistan was ranked ninth and last in the World Test Championship after drawing a home chain with the West Indies.

Another disaster, and on home soil, represents the lowest new level.

“It is disappointing that they have not been fighting a battle,” said Nassim Satty, a 46 -year -old government worker.

“We do not have high -quality archers, nor reliable fighters and the cricket appears to have died in Pakistan.”

Asmaa Patol, a 52 -year -old housewife, confirmed what the cricket game for people in Pakistan means.

She said, “Cricket is the only source of entertainment for our youth.”

“Our nation finds consolation in this game.”

Injuries, twice the form of deadly strikes

Muhammad Rizwan, the captain of white football in Pakistan, was appointed in October, and led Pakistan to an impressive victory 2-1 ODI over the world champions in Australia-his first victory in the 22-year-old series in the country.

They also won in Zimbabwe and attached it to South Africa, their first home in their home, 3-0.

However, the fast opening match, Saim Ayoub, was injured in his ankle during a later test in South Africa, and Pakistan was late for the Champions Cup announcement until the deadline to wait for Ayoub’s fitness even with the left player’s failure to recover.

In addition to the problems of the host team, the opening match, Fakar Zaman, was excluded from the rest of the tournament after the first match-a 60s defeat on New Zealand-with a muscle injury.

Pakistan’s attack, which extends to a large extent to Hasheen Afraidi, Nassim Shah, and Harris Rove-from the test chain to keep fresh-rust and failed to control the amounts of death.

When a time was excluded, the team brought the imam of the right as an alternative. It was made only 10 as Pakistan was crushed by the preferred title by six share.

In a surprise step, they included in the All-Rounders Khushdil Shah and Feheem Ashraf on the basis of their shows in the Twenty20 league in Bangladesh. Ashraf Odi has not played for two years and Khasdel for three.

These options were called “political choice”, and blamed out of influence.

For the masses, the loss against India brought the familiar heartache now.

“We like to see a good cricket game and Pakistan have failed to produce it – again.”

In a fierce city next to the capital, Islamabad, the weather was bleak from the beginning before the star of the star Firat Kohli collided with 100.

“They came to the game with the mentality of the loser and did not try to attack,” said Chef Rashid Selim, 53, said. “I doubt that they realize even the extent of his frustration with the masses to see them descending like this.”
