Pakistan cricket is on a ventilator for last few years and many are unable to find the root cause of this abrupt downfall. Since the dawn of 21st century, PCT has never been exceptional but still quite competitive. But in the last few years, the aura of our fast bowlers and team as a whole has taken a big dip that even minnow teams fancy great upset against us.

Lack of meritocracy, poor fitness culture and the complacency with mediocrity has always been there but why such sharp downfall in recent years?

To my limited knowledge as a cricket fan, it is all because of the political appointment of PCB chairman, who knows it very well that he has been appointed in lieu of political favor and can stick as long as he ables to maintain a positive image among populace. That is why we see such stupid decisions of impulsively firing big name coaches and out of proportion fanfare on series triumph against weak sides. So the fate of PCT won't change until we uproot the deep rooted evil and individuals who don't let others work with complete freedom just to save their chairs.

So in short, real capable sides are those who may lose series in build up to the world cup on trot but still manage to lift the trophy like Australia before 2023 WC. We need to emulate that model to end a poor run in ICC tournaments which matters more than random series.

So guys please share your viewpoints.
 
Something really fishy with all of these negative posts and vibes coming from PCB and ex-players and journalists

It’s like they are not happy with Pakistan winning the series without Babar and Rizwan against West Indies.

There was a Babar fan who was using vile abusive language every night on the match threads towards posters. He’s never banned lol

Even if PCT wins Windies ODI series, things will remain fishy. PCT must reproduce their dominant run in ICC events, in this way they can regain their lost pride and get rid of recent affinity with minnow status

Pak will never be minnow they still generate the fourth highest revenue results won't change teams still want to play with pakistan no matter what
 
I'm not sure how much you blame the current chairman here.

He isn't walking out to bat. Is there any players out of the side that you feel are missing out?

Our team lost a few matches and it wasn't the chairman causing a fuss. It was the fans. You can see the threads on PP where we lost some quick wickets in the power play.

If you want to follow this model that bilaterals mean nothing aslong as we are progressing for the world cup then you gotta really mean it and not reach for the lifeboats straight away.

I don't understand that why any of our head coach can persist with the youngsters, Salman Mirza and Ahmed Daniyal dumped already after one series. This clearly shows that the coaches are under pressure and want to win series to cement their positions. We don't see the same attitude of other big teams abroad. They make frequent changes and persist with new names.

England, Australia, Saffers and India never let their old guys but big names participate in every offshore LOI series

I disagree, yeah it would have been nice to see them play but the coach also needs to take a look at all players. Asia cup ( if it happens) and world cup isn't far away so he needs to test different squad compositions.

A few years ago Babar, Rizwan , Shaheen, HAris would have lined up in Bangladesh too. Its a small positive

When was the last time Pakistan had a dominant run in an ODI World Cup?
