The Pakistan cricket team's struggles are often blamed on the players, but the truth is that the PCB's system and management are responsible.
A cricket board's main job is to find and develop new talent into top players. Cricket Australia's success with Steve Smith, who went from an average spin bowler to a great batter, shows that a good system works.
Similarly, the ECB's investment in young players has produced greats like Joe Root and Ben Stokes, who were once new but are now legends.
In contrast, the PCB's system has failed to develop talent due to poor programs, bad decisions, and a lack of planning. The board's focus on building a player pool from the PSL, rather than strengthening the domestic structure, has left players unprepared for international cricket.
Usman Khawaja, an Australian batter of Pakistani descent, has been vocal in numerous interviews about the need for stability within the PCB.
The PCB's management makes poor decisions, with frequent changes in coaches, selectors, and team management. This instability hurts player morale and performance. To fix Pakistan cricket, the PCB must admit its mistakes and fix the system. It's clear that 90% of the blame lies with the system and management, and only 10% with the players. We need to stop blaming players and fix the system.
