PCB isn’t interested in Test cricket at all - it may have some financial issue now since PAK is forced to play in UAE at premium cost but it was not the case in past. PCB simply doesn’t bother about Test cricket, never tried to make it entertaining and never tried to make it popular. Today, if Test cricket is played in PAK, even against India, I doubt how many people will visit the ground - the reason not being finance for sure, rather because the game was categorically made boring in PAK and new generation developed a disgusting feeling about Test cricket.
70-75 overs per day before Umpires call it for light, 2.6-7 RR, at average 5-6 wickets per day unless it’s a rank under prepared track, slow low tracks where batsmen can’t play shots neither bowlers can express themselves, 80% wickets either through bowled or LBW..... and by day 3, the side slightly behind starts to waste time, because they just don’t have enough time left to make a come back in a game destined for 360-370 overs - better try to avoid defeat. In PAK only option to win a Test is bowl first and get an advantage in first inning - those classic Test matches with twists & turns of 4 innings are non existent; hence most games are boring (even result games, where one side has a massive advantage by day 3, then other side try to save the Test, eventually losing it)
These days PAK is like 6th (or 7th?) ranked Test team, so not much to say but it wasn’t the case in 2000 when a star studded PAK team went to play 2 Tests in ENG, preparing Poms for the all important Ashes - those days only ZIM & SRL used to play 1-2 Tests in UK. Since then, PAK is the first major team to devalue themselves by playing 2 Test series - started with WIN, NZ & SAF, now AUS as well. In fact, it was 1974 when PAK played a 2 Test series against WIN, when IND-WIN used to play 5-6 Tests in every two years .... so, I guess money isn’t/wasn’t the only issue here.
At least, for sometimes let’s call a spade as spade. This is quite nauseating to be honest that these days, everything related to PAK cricket comes with an excuse, victim mentality or bullying - can’t we accept for once that PCB is incompetent, corrupt and backed by arrogance which isn’t helping the cause?
