Suspense Crime Sach Ka Dam
Pakistan… a country in South Asia where crores of people love to play and watch cricket. This country which won the ODI World Cup in 1992 and the T20 World Cup in 2007, is today seen lagging behind in cricket. Their condition has become such that fans have started comparing their downfall with the downfall of the West Indies and Sri Lanka. Pakistan had to face defeat in the first match of the test series played against Bangladesh. This defeat of Pakistan is pointing towards the setting sun which is going to put their cricket in such darkness that they are not even aware of it yet.
Many humiliating defeats in the last two years
The Pakistan team has faced many embarrassing defeats in the last two years. Although the Pakistan team reached the final in the T20 World Cup 2022 played in Australia, it had to face a crushing defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe in that tournament. After this defeat, the downfall of the Pakistan team continues. After the T20 World Cup 2022, Asia Cup 2023, ODI World Cup 2023, and T20 World Cup 2024 were played. In all these three tournaments, Pakistan performed like a B-grade level team. In Asia Cup 2023, Pakistan reached the Super 4 round, but in this round, their team finished last. Due to the defeat against smaller teams in the ODI World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup 2024, their team could not even go beyond the group stage.
Afghanistan defeated Pakistan in the ODI World Cup 2023. This was the first time Pakistan lost to Afghanistan in an ICC tournament. Apart from this, Pakistan had to face defeat against the US team in the T20 World Cup 2024 and could not qualify for the Super 8 round. Pakistan still does not see its downfall. Now Bangladesh has defeated them by 10 wickets in a Test match. This is the first time in Pakistan’s cricket history that Bangladesh has defeated them in a Test match. Pakistan won the last Test match on their home ground 1294 days ago. Apart from this, they were clean-swept by the Kangaroo team on the tour of Australia.
What is the reason for the downfall?
The biggest reason behind the real downfall of the Pakistan cricket team can be considered to be the coup happening there. Its effect has also been seen in the Pakistan Cricket Board. Pakistan has changed three PCB chiefs within the last two years. During the 2022 T20 World Cup, the command of the PCB was in the hands of Najam Sethi, but after this, the reins of the Pakistan Cricket Board were handed over to Zaka Ashraf just before the ODI World Cup 2023. After the crushing defeat in the World Cup, changes were again seen in the Pakistan Cricket Board and Mohsin Naqvi was made the chief of the PCB just before the T20 World Cup 2024. Let us tell you that the effect of these changes taking place in the PCB is clearly visible on the cricket there. The PCB chief runs the team according to his own will. The selection of captains is in his hands. The effect of this is being seen on the team.
