First of all, a Happy New Year in advance to everyone.
The Pakistan Cricket Team has had it's fair share of controversy but has prospered in several fronts in the latter part of the decade.
From winning the Champions Trophy of 2017 to almost qualifying for the semi-finals of the ICC WC 2019, it was a mixed bag of performances.
One thing which fans have learned from watching Pakistan Cricket is that we are never ruled out. We have an immense potential as a side to become one of the top teams in the world, and it was unfortunate to see that our performances took a decline in the 2019-2020 year period. I won't get into the details of that, but most people already know that selections and player techniques are the major areas of blame.
I started this thread to just share some of our individual expectations from the team as we embark into another decade of cricket.
I have listed a few long-term expectations along with a few short-term expectations:
1. Investing as much as possible into the domestic system to reap the rewards throughout the decade.
2. Making balanced squad selections based on merit and backing talent where appropriate.
3. Winning two major ICC events along the road.
4. Making the PSL into a larger brand to gain revenue and create better exposure of our talent on a better platform.
5. Identifying and developing a pool of upcoming youngsters who will serve the country over the course of the decade.
6. Along the way, increasing the salaries of domestic players should also be a focus to help them support their families and develop their own skills.
7. Using our legends and past-players to assist a new generation of U-19 Squads to perform better at the youth level (Winning at least two U-19 Trophies).
8. Creating a coaching panel and logistics team which can analyze, interpret, and develop our players through data and help prepare against particular oppositions.
These are my expectations throughout the decade, as long-term goals. We have a new selector coming, and hopefully, he can fix some of the selection problems that we have faced.
