New Delhi: The Pakistan Cricket team which was once the dominant force in Asia has receded into oblivion in recent years. Barring the U19 success and the ICC Champions Trophy success, the Pakistani cricket team has not been able to materialise any significant cricketing glory.
The precarious condition of the state of Pakistani cricket has been pointed out by many former cricketers like Kamran Akmal and Ahmad Shehzad. Akmal stated on his YouTube channel that-
PCB should learn from BCCI, their professionalism, their team, selector, captain, and coaches. These are the things that make a team number one and dominate the world. If we were so good, then Pakistan cricket wouldn’t be here. It is because of your ego Pakistan cricket is suffering…
Pakistan’s recent Test series defeat against Bangladesh has served as a reminder of the turmoil that they have been stuck in for the past couple of years.

Pakistan cricket is in its last days. There is no budget and the players are not getting money. The players are worried about money and do not feel like playing. They see how much money India gives to the players, Zimbabwe will be formed in a few days.#PakistanCricket #PCB pic.twitter.com/8S1XgyrLxX
