This blog post is going to look boring since it is not flashy, instead it is about our Pakistani mentality where we ourselves are stagnant and want our offsprings as Zombie in lieu of obedience, what we are going to get while achieving this sort of "obedience"?
Domestic cricket
Domestic cricket is being treated as Stepson, it is supposed to be a Montessori for breeding Pakistani Cricketers, but instead it has been treated as "formality", Why am I saying this, appended are my structured manner why I am seeing it this manner:
Lack of system
Accountability of Actions
This is a reality, because meritocracy in Pakistani society is absent just like Dinosaurs from current Earth, whereas Accountability is that aspect which make us look Human, hence according to my POV; current Pakistani society and the PCB system, because while I was going through recently concluded PCB's chief selectors, which included Aqib Jawed, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Asad Shafiq and Misbah-ul-Haq; again I will go back to the Google Maps imagery where personal vendetta is fulfilled over country's interests, have we ever thought, what harm we bringing to country, just because we are going on agendas? My query again, is personal vendetta and Fake PR stunts more important that Pakistan?
PR stunts
Public Relations Stunts were observed during South Africa's tour of Pakistan 2025, whenever Babar Azam used to come on the crease, whole of Faisalabad ground starts roaring, sending a message globally that Pakistanis are celebrating wicket fell of Sahibzada Farhan, even a Proteas player commented on Social Media that I used to get astonished why is this happening, afterwards he would recognize that it is so-called entry of the king, respecting players, I am all for it, but if you want to have such heavy titles, you should prove your worth by your performance, just like Younus Khan, Mohammad Yousuf and Virat Kohli, is Babar Azam's performances equal to HOW THESE PLAYERS scored in what circumstances? This so-called King was not able to sustain pressure of run-a-ball chase against India in New York 2024, so it he is a King, he has to prove his worth!
Continuous Improvement
I am going to bring you into 2017, when Pakistan won Champions Trophy, during the final, the power-hitting by Mohammad Hafeez was astonishing and literally unpredictable for opponents, how much our current lot improved and polished their already existing skills? Same was experienced during 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, game against India, where the famous Virat Kohli did the impossible and showed presence of mind, I do not want to mention that event, where Indians showed great presence of mind, whereas Pakistanis were busy celebrating VK's wicket, whereas in the same tournament, Mohammad Rizwan tried showing this mentality, without understanding the technicities of MCC's rules, tries to indicate his wicket fell as over-waist-height-full-toss-delivery no-ball, making mockery of the whole country, similarly yesterday's famous Salman Ali Agha's incident where Miraz ran SAA out, and insult to the injury that SAA was clearly seen picking the ball to give to Miraz, if there are rules, you have to give respect, otherwise same situation like we observe in Karachi, whereas every 200 meters is a U-turn, making congestion, and similarly giving an option of doing wrongdoing, we have a saying in Urdu, شراب سے وضو this is the direction, we have been going on, because of that they are not willing to polish their skills on regular. This is not limited to Pakistan Cricket Team, instead whole of the nation is drenched into it, whereas I have a معصومانہ سوال that if wrong-way is allowed in Karachi, than why the same Karachi-individual when goes to Dubai, becomes a law-abiding individual?
