Where's the legacy of skipper?

If I go through to cricket management around the region, as sorry to say, we as Pakistanis do not lead from the front instead we're followers, therefore even if we want to follow, follow with respect to the ground realities instead of bringing a template to an alien interface. Because by allowing Misbah-ul-Haq having 3 positions at once, which was supposed to be derived from New Zealand, without knowing the culture of NZ, which ain't applicable in Pakistan, as here people tend to enjoy when other person replicates vulnerability, therefore these people tend to enjoy such stuff instead of indulging themselves into something constructive, therefore needless to say; incorporation of the NZ management is something like کوا چلا ہنس کی چال، اپنی بھی چال بھول گیا۔

Pakistan does require proper research and a blueprint plan to be laid down with proper vision and its mission, with sincerity and loyalty, as Pakistan Cricket and Pakistan as a country both require the both with the bottom of the heart.

What about the skipper?

A skipper in the national team is supposed to be having experience and the expertise of captaining the domestic sides, where as both Azhar Ali and Babar Azam do not have the continuous experience of captaining a domestic side, unlike Australia and England where they groom and pick from the domestic sides and than they make him the national side captain, Such is not the case with Pakistan and the current batch of skippers' being selected off their individual performances instead of looking into the capability on how they're going to manage, which clearly exposes lack of incentive, motivation for the management towards selection and management of a captain who could lead and proactively make decisions on the basis of current scenarios. I personally do not want a captain without ammunition, without ammunition, a skipper is like a bullet without a bullet shell, and that is what the PCB has actually done with captaining the national sides of Pakistan Cricket which had a legacy starting as early as Mr. Kardar to recent as Wasim Akram, after that we just had toothless captains.

Axing of Sarfaraz Ahmed as Pakistan Captain

Let's get to the point straight forward, Where in the world does a cricket team is made upon/on public demand? Nowhere, I understand people and supporters have attachment to those players/cricketers but this is the responsibility of the back-end management to make a clearway path of what they're going to incorporate, but for that; they'd have to lay-down a proper blueprint on what they'd be laying down their plans i.e. the Vision, and how to lay-down/implement that Vision plan i.e. the Mission.

Sacking of a set skipper! a mature move?

I am not here saying being a Karachiite but being a Pakistani and student of management studies, I personally feel, this act was immature which was not supposed to be expected of a professional organization like the PCB.

Blame goes to the players' as well

I was listening to Ex-Bowling Coach Azhar Mehmood and the way he used to practice and work hard to overcome their deficiency is the way he developed himself, because of that; we were comfortable that we have Razzaq and Mahmood in lower middle order, which is sans in current team where not a single individual takes pride in taking responsibility just like the former used to.

Consistency in the managerial decisions

Like I mentioned earlier, the management has to be firm on their stance instead of being as fragile as a frozen jelly, as we all know in the media-circle; there are lobbies which incorporate their agendas and therefore acting like devils' advocate.

Media making it a regional war

It is the media which is making it a pan-Pakistan regional war, like no Karachi player is in the team, it is very sad helm of affairs because Karachi was supposed to be Nursery for Pakistan Cricket, and being the Nursery, no player from this Coast-Line-City is literally shameful a helm. But the fact is; we require to work on the long term, Vision is laid down but the problem is the implementation part i.e. the Mission, and for that; the PCB is required to have a proper media cell; which accompanies the National and the regional cricket teams according to the current structure, because the media have been looking for hyped news, for which the responsibility definitely falls on the PCB and the regional bodies to eradicate it.
