EX-CAPTAIN SAYS PAKISTAN CRICKET ‘CURRENTLY IN ICU’ DUE TO PAST STRUGGLES
Furthermore, an ex-captain says Pakistan cricket is “currently in ICU (Intensive care unit) due to a string of disappointments in the past.
Moreover, former team skipper Rashid Latif recommended a “professional doctor” to cure Pakistan cricket from its ICU state.
“Pakistan cricket is currently in the ICU. They will need a professional doctor. They need technically sound professionals to run things, both physically and financially,” Latif said.
“Trainers and many other things are required. You can see there are many problems, whether it’s on the field or off the field,” he added.
Pakistan is reeling from losing in the 2024 T20 World Cup – to the United States and India – and then losing Test series matches against Bangladesh.
BABAR AZAM TOLD TO YIELD CAPTAINCY DUTIES TO IMPROVE HIS GAME
Moreover, Latif has told Babar Azam to give up his current captaincy duties for Pakistan and focus on his game.
Furthermore, Latif noted Babar’s struggles during the T20 World Cup and in several international matches.
“When the mind is not functioning correctly, it affects the nerves as well,” the ex-captain said.
“You try to play hard on every ball. He should let go of the idea of being a captain and focus on freeing himself from mental pressure,” he added.
Latif cited Pakistan’s losses to the United States and India at the recent T20 World Cup as eye-openers for Pakistan cricket.
LATIF COMPARES BABAR TO INDIA LEGEND TENDULKAR
Furthermore, Latif compared Babar to Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar, who was also a former Indian men’s cricket team captain.
Moreover, the former Pakistan skipper advised Babar to prioritize mastering mental pressure over technical performance.
“The issue seems to be more about mental stress than technical performance,” Latif said.
“It’s apparent that he (Babar) is struggling to cope with a significant amount of mental pressure,” he added.
