The worrying signs in PSL and the level of cricket

[pakistani pride]

I've watched most of the games, and unfortunately, the level of cricket has been below average—at times, downright mediocre. There have been frequent mis fields, dropped catches, and some very poor bowling and batting performances.

Then you have players like Shadab, Hasan Ali, and a few others scoring runs and taking wickets, which really highlights how low the standard is. These same players—particularly Shadab—tend to struggle against stronger international teams. Just look at his numbers against New Zealand earlier this month.

It's sad to see that even after 10 years, the overall quality, interest, and pipeline of young talent have actually regressed quite alarmingly.

These are worrying signs for Pakistan cricket.

Totally agree with you, as I have mentioned in another thread, standard in PSL was never this low. Yes, if guys like Hasan Ali and Shadab are start performer , tells you the whole story . Who made this guy Saud the captain of a team > His was easily the worst inning I have even seen in PSL and since then I have stopped watching PSL. I'm not a big fan of IPL but ICC has not scheduled any other international match to watch during IPL window, I have no choice but watching IPL to fulfill whatever appetite I have for pajama cricket.

Exactly, the league will give another false impression that Pakistan cricket has risen from ashes , whereas in reality the league is just like a stagnant water in a pool
