Players' back-ups for Pakistan team

Exposing our aces

This is something I am always critical of Pakistan Cricket Team Think-Tanks decision-making criterions, instead of developing our bench-strengths, 

بلی کے گلے میں گھنٹی کون باندھے

This is a main point of issue for current Pakistan team, I was critical of Pakistan Cricket Team Selection where Pakistan was playing Nepal at Multan, and full-fledged Pakistani team was playing against them, instead we should have had given chances to alternates, but it requires subtle planning, but this is the reason why I have been emphasizing on Sports Management, because Sports Management is always approached with the Country's Team Management, this is where we are lagging, and that's why we have been a laughter material for Indians, and similarly giving chances for foreign nations to taunt and mock us as Pakistanis.

Players' backup ain't a new thing for Pakistan

Till 1997, Pakistan was going on this pathway, and similarly Pakistanis used to pity to Indians when they couldn't face Pakistanis, even Chennai test from where Shoaib Akhtar got the fame, was alternative for Muhammad Zahid who was even faster than him, but this was the stage of bench-strength for Pakistan Cricket, but after 1999 while I recall, because 1999 Cricket World Cup which was played in England, everybody said this Pakistani team was the most strength-full to win that Cricket World Cup, but even that particular team was unable to catch that world cup, 

Current situations of Pakistani team

  1. Fakhar Zaman
    1. Out of form
  2. Imam ul Haq
    1. Looking like he's out of form
  3. Abdullah Shafique
    1. Only chance
  4. Babar Azam
    1. Still yet to fire
  5. Mohammad Rizwan
    1. Only glimmer of hope in the team
  6. Saud Shakeel
    1. In his honeymoon period
  7. Iftikhar Ahmed
    1. Teams have figured him our
  8. Agha Salman
    1. Within Ifs and Buts
  9. Mohammad Nawaz
    1. An all-rounder who can't bowl neither bats after that Virat Kohli fiasco 
  10. Shadab Khan
    1. Specialist spinner who is out of form
  11. Usama Mir
    1. An alternative who was underprepared
  12. Shaheen Shah Afridi
    1. One of two fast bowlers 
  13. Haris Rauf
    1. Part two of two fast bowlers
  14. Mohammad Wasim Jr.
    1. Support fast bowler who is not of any support
  15. Hasan Ali
    1. Coming out of nowhere
This squad clearly shows Pakistan doesn't possess a surprise aspect which could topple other teams, furthermore as I was listening to Wasim Akram, I am also thinking this way, that thinking after this Cricket World Cup, Pakistan has to play series against Aussies in their own backyard and similarly we don't even know which faster bowlers are we going to take there, this is not the fault of the players, but how they have been managed, i.e., their managers, they should be held responsible for their actions, because it has been their job, and their job description,
