And our 2nd Xi is getting bulldozed by unknown country cricketers.What should have been a great chance to see young talent against decent Foreign talent has turned out to be a talent farce. The PK team played essentially 2nd XI combined county teams. Just a little bit care and competence would have made this tour a proper development journey
That makes it even worse. The standard of our domestic cricket is appalling. The English team's were mostly second 11s and U19s and were better than our next generation.And our 2nd Xi is getting bulldozed by unknown country cricketers.
Did he explain why this was a monumental waste of money?Imran Farhat, head coach Pakistan Shaheens talked exclusively to PCB Digital at the conclusion of the series and said:
“We have identified a strong group of youngsters who we believe are part of our future. Our bowling in the one-day series was good; every bowler delivered strong results and our fielding was spot on. We also made sure everyone got a chance to play in the series, we followed a process and kept a consistent rotation policy in place.
“Looking at the red-ball matches, we saw some great performances from the players. The areas we were looking to improve in the top order were addressed quite effectively. Going forward, these players will continue to gain experience in first-class cricket and hopefully establish themselves further.
“We have discovered several promising players, both in red-ball and white-ball formats, which is a very positive takeaway. Each player will now return with an individual development plan that focuses on areas they need to improve in, be it technical, tactical or professional aspects, to become fully prepared for international cricket.
“Our focus throughout has been on building a strong bench. These young players, through their performances, have shown they are capable. We also assessed how well they adapted to the English conditions. With the Pakistan national team due to tour here in the near future, it was essential for us to identify players who could adapt quickly and perform in these conditions.”
