Pakistan Cricket is poor - very poor! What we see today is not merely pathetic performance, it is a tragic spectacle: a side inflated with undeserved hype, weighed down by lethargy, and shackled by outdated ideas.
The body language tells its own story—of hesitation rather than hunger, of resignation rather than resolve. One flashes of brilliance, followed by long spells of mediocrity, has become the cruel rhythm of Pakistan cricket.
The decline, many would agree, began with the departure of Imran Khan. His retirement marked not just the end of an era, but the loss of a philosophy that once bound talent to discipline and ambition.
In the 1990s, Pakistan overflowed with cricketing riches: formidable openers, elegant middle-order maestros, two world-class wicketkeepers, and perhaps the most lethal bowling unit of its time, fast bowlers who could shatter stumps and spinners who could mesmerize batsmen. The nation had enough depth to field multiple competitive sides at once.
And yet, the promise remained unfulfilled.
The reasons are familiar, almost painfully so: petty politics, whimsical decision-making, corruption, and the absence of any long-term vision. Instead of building institutions to harness and multiply talent, Pakistan relied on the raw brilliance of individuals. But natural flair, unguided and unsupported, can only carry a team so far. Over time, the cracks widened, and the same politics that once nipped potential in the bud eventually corroded the entire structure.
What remains today is a shadow of that greatness, an echo of glory stifled by mismanagement. Pakistan cricket has not been undone by a lack of talent, but by its tragic squandering.
