لَّیْسَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ اِلاّٰ مَا سَعٰی. (Man gets whatever he strives for) (quran)
When i look at england, i see a squad where anyone can win a match for england and they are all contributors. Good on western societies & now india too, to build a team full of competent person.
You see, sports is only an extension of how they go about in real life. They plan ahead, while we do when end is nigh. Like, they start training & finalizing for world cup 1 year ahead.
I wonder how many competents england or australia sacrificed (and now india) over some nobody for sifarish or money? Can we be honest to ourselves and stop joking with others, as we focus on our team?
How can we expect our team to win world cup series when other nations have implemented a scientific & logical approach in building them/their teams while we leave everything to luck & prayers? We don't even try to be better at sports but we expect tournament titles.
It's almost like expecting to win a lottery instead of making an effort. You see such attitude not only in sports, but almost every field in our country and that's the reason we are behind.
We know what Malik & Hafeez bring to the team. If i see 10/3 inside 5 overs, can you expect both of them to contribute for a par score? or do you see them getting out before reaching double figures/digits? Can they negate new ball? What happened to their performance against Afghanistan?
If i were a selector, i would rather include any person who haven't been a tested failure than these guys. If they dont perform, fine, test a new bench. and if they don't, try another.
All the domestic talent we have, do you think they don't get discouraged when they see this? And we say, it's because there is no international cricket in pakistan. That's again not true. When you don't value merit, you see people valuing hard work or effort give up.
