You should always look to improve things even if you have had a successful tournament, but bringing in a washed up Amir and an average player like Imad doesn’t improve the team in any way.
In addition, the opening partnership was broken up for a hyped up youngster who has been utter rubbish so far.
Pakistan is not going into the 2024 T20 World Cup a better side than they were going into the 2022 T20 World Cup, and if people think that Amir and Imad has elevated them then unless they go one better this time, which inconveniently means winning the World Cup which Pakistan won’t, then their comebacks would be a grand waste of time and nothing more.
This argument will always be weak as no 2 tournaments are ever the same.
2023 NZ is much stronger then 2019 NZ and 2015 NZ. 2019 MZ was being carried by Williamson because the batting lineup was so fragile with one hit wonders.
2023 nz had batting mixed with good bowling but unfortunately got faced with injuries against Pakistan. Regardless,
NZ team didn't qualify to the finals this time around, those that mean rachin ravindra who hit 3 centuries, Mitchell at no 4 who played a good innings against India etc etc did nothing to elevate the team? And NZ is nowhere in terms of progress?
It's not a simple equation that you're making it out to be nor will it ever be.
It Ignores other teams having different squads and getting stronger, it Ignores different tournament formats, different venues, weather conditions etc etc etc. And no you claiming its an excuse doesn't make it one as your opinion holds no bearings.
Again please don't take offence to what I said but it's the truth, variables are completly different with each passing tournament.
2022 wc variables had a shortened tournament where to qualify for semi's you just had to be top 2 in group where Zimbabwe, Nedtherlands, bamgaldesh are minnows so it was always a triple threat match between sa, India and Pakistan. Ontop of which rain affected SA games in a similar manner to rain affected nz game in world cup made a difference. Another rain affected sa vs Zimbabwe game where sa had won, but ewual points awarded because sa was denied one extra over and hence Dr's can't come into play for rules, couples with 1 very good NZ game where Pakistan switched on.
Similar to 2017 where sa vs Pakistan had been rain effected, Sri lanka vs Pakistan had srinlanka botching itand fakhar switched himself on for semi and finals.
2024 has different variables, it has group 8, A much much much stronger England, Australia, Indian etc etc teams in terms of squads, a different venue, and certain factors like rain may or may not come into play.
Your a poster with 100,000 comments, so please make quality posts cause I've seem some of your posts from 2015-2020 and they've all be quality posts.
These simplistic last time Pakistan reached finals so this time they must win doesn't suit your level.
