Team Pakistan has encountered two losses out of the two matches they played in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 till now. After a ‘shameful’ loss against the USA, that too in the Super Over followed by losing the match with a close call against India, Pakistan team has missed on the opportunities to win.
The team has been facing criticism from experts and the Pakistan team fans all around the globe. The remarks have gotten more negative after the team’s disappointing loss against long time rivals India.
Wasim Akram Slams Pakistan Team
Former Pakistani legend Wasim Akram is seeing his former team lose all it’s former glory in the span of a few years. Akram did not hold back while bashing the team about their below-par performance.
“Enough is enough. We need changes now. Bring in a new team – six to seven players and then back them through losses so that they can develop as a team. It’s time for the PCB chairman to take a bold step.” Waseem urged.
We keep hearing [of the team] that this guy isn’t talking to that guy, or that guy isn’t talking to him. This was the best New York pitch so far, it wasn’t that difficult. How tough was it to chase 120? After this performance, I don’t think Pakistan deserve to go into the Super 8s,” Akram added in a video posted on his Twitter handle.
“Pakistan team doesn’t need enemies” quips Akram
Wasim Akram also expressed his disappointment over the current team and added that the team doesn’t need any new enemies, hinting at their poor conditions.
Akram was embarrassed at the team’s performance and highlighted how Mohammed Rizwan should have known that team India’s star bowler Jasprit Bumrah had come back to take a wicket, and he could’ve just take a single to save his face.
“Pakistan team doesn’t need enemies. They themselves are enough. Should we spoon-feed them everything? Should we need to tell them what the situation is? Will Babar do it, or the coach do it? For the last 8-10 years these players are playing. Should I tell [Mohammad] Rizwan that their main bowler [Jasprit Bumrah] has come back to pick up a wicket, so take a single? You’ve hardly hit a boundary after 10 overs. Didn’t even try.
Now I’ve started feeling embarrassed. As a Pakistani, I want to back Pakistan team but. But there is a limit to everything. It was a very sad day for Pakistan cricket, unfortunately. I can’t even speak right now. Obviously, you’ll be frustrated. I am really down. I am usually a positive person but to lose like this? This may be a bitter pill to swallow, but it is what it is,” concluded Akram in his Twitter video.
Pakistan’s next fixture is against Canada at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
