It is the system.
When system is dismantled to reward cronies, this is the right result.
Load of tripe! They also lost regularly and spectacularly while PM Khan and Rameez Raja were running the PCB. Don't forget. The performances were/are dismal and the problem starts and ends with the players.
In every other sport, the individual sportsman or the team takes responsibility for their own shortcomings. Not PCT? Why the hell not?
People, for their silly petty politics, keep coddling these goddamned players who are consistently putting a dismal performance on the field by blaming the "cronies", and bringing politics into the PCB.
It is as simple as 11 MEN, handpicked from a nation of millions, going up against another 11. No more, no less. This isn't Pakistan going up against a 4x larger adversary with a lot more resources. It is the same practice, same facilities, same data-based analysis, same international tours, similar coaching and leagues, and same domestic and foreign playing. Yet absolute shit show on the field. Every single time!
It is hightime the responsibility is placed upon the team of these non-performers. If you insist the problem is with the system then ban the PCT from playing International cricket altogether till the problem is solved.
Clearly, neither IK, Rameez, nor the current administration have had a clue.
I firmly believe that if the same resources were given to PHF, Squash and Boxing Federations, a much more gritty and competitive set of athletes would be representing Pakistan winning for the country. But like dunces, the entire nation is fixated on a team of losers whose standard of play keeps on going down.
