Current Pakistan players are still living in the magical moment of the 152–0 win. They forget that earlier Pakistani teams used to give tough fights to the Indian team, like in the 1999 World Cup when India defended 227, and in the 2003 World Cup when India came under pressure after the early wickets of Sehwag and Ganguly, but Sachin managed the innings brilliantly. Pakistan also won the Platinum Jubilee match.
However, over the last eight years, Pakistan has faced repeated humiliation by losing matches without showing any real intent. Their batting and bowling have been ineffective against a mighty team like India.

Consistency and merit must always come before favoritism or any so-called “parchi system.” History shows that even legends like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saeed Anwar, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi faced accountability when Pakistan failed in major ICC events. Selection decisions were based on results, not reputation or personal preference.
If Mohammad Rizwan can be dropped for performance or strategy, then the same standard must apply equally to everyone. True professionalism demands fairness, transparency, and meritocracy, not selective accountability.
Pakistan cricket has always progressed when decisions were made for the team’s success, not for individuals.
