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.
