Coach Mickey Arthur

Things have heated up in the Pakistani camp; changes, flurry of retirements, reinstatement and now a breaking news that Pakistan's Cricket Team coach Mickey Arthur, is looking for the coaching assignment of England Cricket Team, soon after PCB decided to continue with Arthur till the World T20 event in Australia next year in 2020.

Definitely

Therefore he does not have his interests with the Pakistani team therefore it is high time for the Pakistani management to look for alternatives and proactive to replace Arthur instead of waiting for him to bid farewell anytime soon.

Flurry of Retirements

In the span of two weeks, we have heard about the retirements of two of Pakistani players, for which most of the nation and the social media enthusiasts fought like there is no tomorrow especially without Muhammad Aamir, now we 're seeing how he placed excuse for playing the league cricket preferred over the National Duty.

Look at other bowlers

You're not the only one bowling longer, look at Starc, Bumrah, Cummins, they prefer test cricket over limited over white ball cricket, and unlike the subjected, they'd end up being; if not the greats, but someone at least who showed their motivation that Yes I AM GOING TO DO THIS. This is something lacks in current Pakistani playing team.

What should the PCB be doing to overcome the scenario

Restrict players

The PCB should be restricting cricketers to play the PSL only, with the exception of players be given NOC to play 1 - 2 foreign leagues only who're placed on top tier of the central contract.

The National Duty and Domestic be prioritized

Importance to the Domestic Season be prioritized so that even if Pakistan's domestic season tournament clashes with the foreign league, a player is deemed to play the domestic instead of the foreign league and even if the cricketer takes the instance of retiring and than playing the foreign league, than it'd be with the PCB's NOC, which means PCB won't be backing the player. Same goes with the National Duty because the current trend which the cricketers have figured out; is lethal not only to Pakistan cricket but also to the legacy of Pakistan Cricket.

A Show-Cause Notice

A show-cause be placed for that retaliating player; after taken back all of the benefits/perks/advantages; so that these players should understand that they are not only wearing the emblem of Pointed Star with the word Pakistan written in Urdu, the blazer, but also the hopes and investment of the nation is behind them, therefore they should be asked for the same because this is a legitimate reason, being ambitious and seeking better opportunity is one thing but betraying with the nation and with the rich legacy of Pakistan Cricket is something else. 

The last note

I would quote Mohsin Hassan Khan Sb over here;
Don't play with the country; Play for the country

Pakistan Cricket - as a product

Whatever occurred for Pakistan at the Cricket World Cup 2019, was not due to NRR but because of mismanagement and lack of understanding of current technicalities in today's cricket.

What I figured!

I figured after I noted the cricketing activities in neighbouring countries, we Pakistanis definitely lack in basic understanding and technicalities which the players of other countries are accustomed to. I am definitely sure, if there was someone from the Pakistan cricket teams replacing Stokes, he would not had taken the game to that extent like Buttler and Stokes took because they (the Pakistanis) lack the mental toughness which is needed to be inducted during the childhood days because of which they tend to have a tendency to never-say-no attitude which current Pakistani lot lacks which previously used to had specially during the WILLS Cup and Double Wicket Cricket era.

This is how Pakistan Cricket WAS when Pakistan won the 1992 Cricket World Cup

I am not going to prolong the obvious issues but the fact is we now require domestic and local strategic and statistician support because this Cricket World Cup clearly exposed Pakistanis vulnerability towards statistics because had they took note of statistics, they'd had definitely looked into NRR and would had tried to complete their games with spare balls/overs instead of completing the games in the last over(s).

The School Cricket

The School Cricket specially in the developed cities of Pakistan i.e. Lahore and Karachi has been bamboozled because of change in priorities, because now school cricket in Pakistan is diminished because school vicinity lack sporting grounds and points allocated for students in order to clear their papers and examinations, just like students have to clear their practicals, they'd have to score in physical training and sports as well, because the school I studied i.e. Hamdard Public School, it comprises of two multipurpose grounds and multiple multipurpose basketball grounds beside the study vicinity, now the new study vicinity do not take account of sporting grounds which is a shame for a nation which had a culture which is now nowhere.
