This is another example of mishap management within the Pakistani camp. After a humiliating defeat in the first test match played at Multan, Pakistan became the first team in test cricket history to score over five hundred runs and still concede over eight hundred. Despite their impressive score, Pakistan lost the test match, leading to chaos within the team.
This upheaval, however, was misguided. Non-performing players were replaced by domestic cricket performers like Mir Hamza. What's wrong with this approach? Under the tenure of those dropped, Pakistan has been losing numerous games. It’s time to take chances with younger players and foster a competitive environment where every player knows they could be replaced. This mindset isn't wrong; it’s necessary. Yet, within Pakistan, a media war rages. Decisions to drop non-performing players are criticized as if they are sacred. This criticism is misplaced.
As former coach Mohsin Hassan Khan often said, "Play for Pakistan, don't play with Pakistan." This chaos is a necessary step in the right direction. Indian media might mock Pakistan's cricket history, but we are giving them reasons to do so. It's time to stop treating ourselves as untouchable and acknowledge that we are as human as anyone else.
