Pakistan’s cricket crisis reached a boiling point after their humiliating defeat to England in the Multan Test. Legendary pacer Shoaib Akhtar unleashed his fury on live television, calling out the players and management for their abysmal performance.
Akhtar lamented the decade-long decline in Pakistan’s cricket, blaming it on a lack of talent and effort. “We’re not good enough,” he declared, pointing to England’s massive 800+ score and Bangladesh’s recent victory over Pakistan.
The former pacer expressed concern over the possibility of Pakistan losing its Test status, calling the situation “disheartening.” He urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to take drastic measures to address the crisis.
Akhtar also highlighted the issue of groupism within the team, attributing it to weak leadership and fear among the management. “If the captain is selfish, there will be groupism,” he explained.
Pakistan’s last Test victory came over 1,300 days ago, a testament to their struggles. Akhtar’s outburst reflects the growing frustration among fans and experts alike, who demand accountability and a swift turnaround in the team’s fortunes.
