Cricket Crisis – How to Revitalize Pakistani Cricket Team

The Pakistani cricket team’s performance in the upcoming ODI Cricket World Cup 23, scheduled to take place in India next month, holds immense significance. Not only does it carry the weight of the Pakistani nation’s hopes, but it also symbolizes a source of inspiration for approximately 500 million Muslims residing in India, IIOJ&K, and Bangladesh The team’s success can uplift spirits far beyond borders.

In view of the foregoing, the recent disappointing performance of our cricket team in the Asia Cup has highlighted the need for a significant transformation within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). It’s evident that the current leadership is professionally and mentally unable to modernize the organization. In fact, if things continue this way, the PCB might suffer a fate similar to the PHF, which has altogether destroyed the fabric of hockey in Pakistan.

Given the urgency, here are some immediate changes that the Caretaker Prime Minister (as the chief patron of the PCB) should consider before the ODI World Cup:

1. Appoint Shaheen Shah Afridi as the captain of both the T20 and ODI teams.
2. Include Saim Ayub and Imad Wasim in the World Cup Squad.
3. Replace Inzamam ul Haq with Iqbal Qasim as the Chief Selector.
4. Replace Misbah ul Haq and consider Javed Miandad or Mohsin H. Khan as the Chairman of the Cricket Committee.
5. Replace Micky Arthur with Aamir Sohail or Mohsin Hasan Khan as the head coach.

These changes are essential to revitalize our cricket team’s performance and bring fresh leadership to the PCB.
