Pakistan Cricket Imploding by itself

[PK781]

I fail to see why they didn't send the GHANTAY KA KING (babar azam) packing too. Na koi performance, na koi talent, simply mediocre midget captain

Entire PCB should be shut down. Sending only 7 players when should've sent the entire team back.

people should stop watching cricket altogether! its done.

Under 34 EZ model, every sport will be promoted especially Cricket, Field hockey, Football, Sambo style Wrestling, Boxing, Taekwondo, Silat, MMA, Squash & Badminton, Volleyball (already played in Army),

Tier A & Tier B: The Full League Architecture

Tier A —​

These are the zones with:

• Existing cricket culture
• Strong district-level performance
• Better infrastructure
• Higher population density
• Corporate sponsorship potential

Role of Tier A​

• Flagship competition
• Higher broadcast value
• Produces most PSL-level players
• Sets the standard for Tier B to chase

Season Format​

• 12 teams
• Round-robin (11 matches each)
• Top 6 → playoffs
• Bottom 2 → relegation to Tier B

Tier B —
These are zones with:

• Lower cricket exposure
• Fewer academies
• Smaller markets
• Untapped talent pools

Role of Tier B​

• Development league
• Talent discovery
• Regional empowerment
• Pathway to Tier A

Season Format​

• 22 teams
• Divided into 4 regional conferences
  • North
  • South
  • West
  • Central

Conference	EZ Count	Anchors	Geographic Logic
South	8	Karachi, Hyderabad	Sindh + South Punjab
West	9	Quetta, Gwadar	Balochistan + West KP
Central	9	Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan	Punjab + Upper Sindh
North	8	Islamabad, Peshawar, GB, AJK	KP North + GB + AJK

• Each team plays 8–10 matches
• Top 4 overall → promotion playoffs
• 2 teams promoted to Tier A

Promotion & Relegation System

Why this matters​

This is the engine that keeps the league alive. It forces EZs to invest in:

• Academies
• Coaching
• Talent scouting
• Infrastructure

Flow​

• Tier A bottom 2 → relegated
• Tier B top 2 → promoted
• Tier B 3rd–6th → qualification tournament for PSL-style main league

This creates meritocracy, not politics.

Qualification for PSL-style Main League​

we can have 8–12 teams to qualify: here’s the optimized structure:

Qualified Teams​

• Top 6 from Tier A
• Top 2 from Tier B
• Optional: 2 wildcards (based on performance + fan engagement)

Total: 8–10 teams Perfect size for a commercial T10/PSL-style event.

Why this structure works​

1.​

Tier A teams face strong opponents.Tier B teams grow without being humiliated.

2.​

12 Tier A teams = manageable broadcast package22 Tier B teams = low-cost development league

3.​

Promotion/relegation reduces influence of “big families” because performance decides everything.

4.​

enforce:

• 70% local EZ players
• 30% open category

This directly solves Punjab overrepresentation.

5.​

We can expand Tier B later without touching Tier A.

Is this at PCB ? Can we make a PDF sports policy think tank ?

I haven't watched cricket for a long time; probably watched it during 2019 WC and sometimes those Indo-Pak matches, and that's about it
But I am very surprised by how he turned out. He looked so good when I last saw him in that 2019 WC. He was the only bright star of that tournament; him and young Afridi were our future stars.
I get his downfall: he is a tall fast bowler; it's hard to be consistently good for a fast bowler in this day and age, but Babar's been a big disappointment. I think he is not a mans, man just a very timid character who can't handle pressure because, other than that, he was SO GOOD.
