A Path Forward for Pakistan Cricket..!

In light of the Pakistani cricket team’s disappointing performance during the first round matches of the CWC23, the following actions are recommended to the PCB management:

1. Appoint Shan Masood as the Undisputed Captain

To eliminate any potential for internal divisions and establish clear leadership, Shan Masood should be appointed as captain of all three formats of the game. His authority over the players should be unquestioned.

2. Eliminate the Vice Captain Position

The vice captain position is unnecessary and can potentially create confusion or conflict within the team. A single captain will provide a clear and focused leadership structure.

3. Appoint a Mentor-Figure for the Twin Tours

To provide guidance and support to the captain and team members during the upcoming tours of Australia and New Zealand, one of the following former Pakistani captains should be sent with the squad as a mentor or team director:

• Javed Miandad
• Mohsin Hasan Khan
• Moin Khan
• Aamir Suhail
• Muhammad Hafeez

4. Player Selection for the Twin Tours

The following players, along with other deserving ones, should be selected for the twin tours:

• Saim Ayub
• Muhammad Haris
• Tayyub Tahir
• Abrar Ahmad
• Ehsanullah (if fit)
• Shahnawaz Dahani
• Zaman Khan
• Ammad Waseem

This selection process should prioritize players who have demonstrated strong performance and potential, ensuring that the team is well-equipped to face the challenges ahead.
