The Pakistan cricket team’s dismal performance in the current T20 World Cup 2024 has drawn harsh criticism from cricket enthusiasts and former players. Pakistan was thus eliminated from the competition before to the Super 8 round.
The former cricket player Ramiz Raja talked about Pakistan’s performance in the team’s games in a recent video that was uploaded on his YouTube account.
“This World Cup began disastrously for Pakistan and finished just as badly. The team will never make it to the championship game or, at the very least, the next round of the competition, if they are dependent on other teams or the weather prediction. There are some basics about cricket that you have to adhere to, and they won’t alter, according to Ramiz.
Some players, in Raja’s opinion, shouldn’t have been participating in the T20 World Cup.
“The competition didn’t have any high points. However, Naseem Shah, who is inherently a hard-length bowler, bowled effectively and batted well against India. All things considered, I believe that Naseem Shah was the player that bowled and batted the best. The remaining players were all right, according to Raja.
“The club adds a few guys who play like clockwork, and you send those individuals out again because you don’t have a substitute, simply to make that choice stick. This team does not respect leadership, and you are not allowing them to make decisions that affect the team as a whole.
Regardless of their feelings toward the captain, retired players are brought to the squad since they possess the World Cup expertise needed.
“This team cannot succeed again unless decisions are made on the basis of merit and common sense in cricket.” It’s not how you operate cricket to search for sacrificial lambs to keep your spot.”
Raja also paid close attention to the team’s batting and bowling statistics against the USA, India, and Canada.
“The squad committed a ton of blunders in the first game over the USA, and they were unable to score even 100 against India. Additionally, the fans anticipated that Pakistan would defeat Canada in 14 overs, but the squad failed to learn from their prior performances. Fast bowlers failed to bowl at hard-length on this surface, when they were supposed to. In Pakistan’s match versus India, the commentator said, “Pakistan’s bowling was excellent, but its batting was mediocre.
