What is the problem with the itinerary?

Currently, after a very long time, I woke up from my hibernation, just because of political unrest in my country, where last time when I made post on this arena, it was Imran Khan regime, and whereas while I came back here, the whole regime has been changed, anyways this is not the right place to talk about this, instead why I am writing this is because something not good for Pakistan cricket off late.

While other countries are engaged in bilateral cricket

Pakistan cricket team, just like me, is in the state of hibernation, as the last time when Pakistan played an IT20, it was way back in April 2022, when the regime change operation attack was still nubile, but one thing is for sure, the kind of presentation improvement in Pakistan cricket during that era, was phenomenal, where Pakistan invested heavily on the presentation of the cricket, and even PCB's media cell was highly active, unlike now when it is updating little bit of updates here and there, at that time it was continuously busy in updating the updates, whereas almost start of Junior PSL about to take place, and we have been deprived of its updates, instead whole of the nation have been programmed in making them a political analyst.

Although

Pakistan is supposed to be playing a jammed packed home cricket series against Kiwis and England, furthermore, Today's 13th August 2022, and from 16th August, 2022, Pakistan's tour to Netherlands going to start on dates 16, 18, and 21st of August, and after that Pakistan is going to start Asia Cup, where Pakistan is supposed to be playing at least 2 games, which could be extended to two more games if Pakistan plays the final.

England's T20 tour to Pakistan 2022

This is something I personally don't like this fact (although I am a Karachiite) but amid 7 games, 4 games granted to Karachi, whereas Multan and Rawalpindi were best suited to stage T20 games, whereas Karachi and Lahore should be limited to stage ODI's and test matches, just like Lord's in England, but T20 games are more liked when grounds are houseful and if we want to stage T20 games, staging Pakistan's T20 ventures would definitely been granted to Multan and Rawalpindi so that our venues are evenly poised, and this thing shouldn't be appreciated that some games of the same series should be staged on same venues like Karachi staging ODI's, test match, and a T20 game, which is not looking good for the Pakistan Cricket as a product, if I narrate Ramiz Raja, if we want to create a successful Pakistan Cricket Product, Pakistan's home games should be diversified and even games should also be allocated to smaller centers, instead of each and every single series should be played on redundant venues. Series being played 20th September to 2nd October 2022 spanning between Karachi and Lahore, where Karachi grabbed four games and Lahore on the contrary grabbed three games, although it successfully staged later part of the PSL 7 including the final.

New Zealand tri-nation T20I series including NZ, Pak and Bangladesh

This is T20I series played between the hosts New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which is supposed to be rehearsal for upcoming World T20 event ten days after completion of this series.

World T20 event

This is where Pakistan's T20I season for 2022 going to be concluded. This is actually the continuation of the actual world T20 event assigned to Australia in 2020 but it was suspended due to pandemic and hence next year event was granted to India, which was than played in the UAE, and now Aussies after becoming the champs, are going to stage the world T20I event, afterwards the gaps between successive and continual and back to back World T20 events is going to be normalized and similarly this anomaly is going to be normalize.

But this is failure to Pakistan's PR media policy

Because, ICC is an organization, which is unlike FIFA, is governed by its partnering Cricket Boards, hence when ICC announces FTP (not File Transfer Protocol, but Future Tours Program), it has to be signed by all member cricket boards afterwards ICC can upload the same on their website and officially document it, hence either we do not have that consciousness to understand the repercussions of such pathetic itinerary, because since Australia tour to Pakistan, Pakistan only played 3 ODI's against West Indies, and after that 2 test match series against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka.
