Another ICC tournament and once again India has defeated Pakistan. In the Champions Trophy match played in Dubai on Sunday, Rohit and company defeated Rizwan's team by six wickets and almost knocked them out of the tournament. At the same time, Team India reached the semi-finals. After another defeat in the ICC tournament against India, people from former Pakistani cricketers to others are furious.
Some time ago there was a discussion in Pakistan that even if Pakistan loses the Champions Trophy, it should register a win against India. Now the situation is such that neither did they win against India nor could they reach the next round of the Champions Trophy. After this, many veteran Pakistani cricketers Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Aamir, and Ahmed Shahzad have torn apart their team. All of them did different analyses on the defeat, but everyone raised questions on the team selection. Everyone believed that the Pakistan Cricket Board had made the wrong team selection and they had to suffer the consequences.
Shoaib Akhtar's reaction
After India's victory, Akhtar shared a video on social media Insta and gave his opinion on Pakistan's defeat and said sadly that, I am not disappointed at all. Targeting the Pakistan team, this bowler said, 'Your team does not even have five specialist bowlers. I am sad. The players do not know what to do. They do not even have any skill set. They need to learn from Rohit and Kohli. I knew what was going to happen in this match. The world is playing with six bowlers. What to say to these players, they are children just like the management. Pakistani players have just gone, but they do not know what to do.'
Akhtar's statement about Kohli
Shoaib Akhtar said, 'If Kohli is not in form and someone tells him that your match is with Pakistan, then he comes with full preparation. He did the same in this match. He comes fully prepared against us. He is a run chase master in ODIs. He is an amazing cricketer. I don't know if he will be able to score a century of centuries or not, but he is a great batsman. I like him a lot. He batted brilliantly. Just let him play his game and don't speak much about him. You see he always bats brilliantly against Pakistan. He has also completed 14000 runs. I want him to complete a century of centuries. He is the king of modern cricket... chase master. I wish him all the best for the future.'
Wasim Akram said this.
Speaking on Sports Central after Pakistan's defeat to India in Dubai, legendary bowler Wasim Akram expressed his disappointment. He said that fans are no longer ready to tolerate empty promises and expectations. He said, 'We need to take tough steps. Enough is enough! We have been losing with the same players for years in white-ball cricket. Now the time has come to take bold steps and bring in young players who play fearless cricket. If you want to make big changes, go for it. Give six months to the new players, support them, and start preparing for the 2026 T20 World Cup. Now it's enough. You have given opportunities to the players before and made them stars.
'We are shouting, the team is not right'
Akram said, 'Pakistan's bowlers have taken 24 wickets at an average of 60 in the last five matches. The shocking statistic is that Pakistan's bowling average is the second worst among 14 teams, including Oman and USA, who played ODI cricket this year. What should we do now? The chairman should return home, call the captain, coach, and selection committee, and ask what kind of selection they have made. Did it look like Khushdil Shah and Salman Aga could have dismissed any Indian batsman? We are shouting here, saying the squad is not right. The chairman asked him to announce the team with one day left. He held a meeting for an hour and announced this kind of team.
Akram-Aamir-Shahzad criticized Rizwan
Wasim Akram criticized Rizwan and said, 'The captain is the leader of the ship. How will the team succeed if Rizwan does not know which match-winning player they need? When India reached the 15th and 18th overs while chasing the target, the Pakistani players looked completely out of the game. The fans leaving early is something I have never seen before. It is unfortunate.' Not only Wasim Akram, but veteran Pakistani cricketers like Mohammad Aamir, Ahmed Shahzad, and Rashid Latif have also raised questions about Rizwan being made the captain. On the show 'Harna Mana Hai', these three said that they do not see Rizwan as a captain. Shahzad even accused the team of factionalism and said that there is a group of seven players, of which Babar and Rizwan are part. They decide among themselves who will become the captain. If a talented player is seen, they start ousting him.
The reaction of Malik-Hafeez and Sana Mir
Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik have also reacted to Pakistan's defeat. Malik even sang the song, 'Dil ke armaan aansoo mein beh gaye'. Sana Mir and Shoaib Akhtar also joined Hafeez and Malik in this show. Malik and Hafeez said that there is no lack of talent in Pakistan, but there is no one to show them the right path. Hafeez and Malik said that there is a lack of planning in the Pakistan team.
At the same time, Sana Mir also sang 'Ab to aadat si hai humko aise jeene mein...'. Sana Mir said- When India scored 100 runs for two wickets while chasing the target, I got a message from a friend that it seems we will lose the match now. I said that we had lost when the team was selected. We had lost more than half of the tournament when these 15 players were selected. These are the 15 players, whether you make MS Dhoni or Younis Khan their captain, no one can do anything. The team is not complete according to the conditions you have. Abrar is the only specialist spinner in the team and there are two part-time spinners. How can this happen?
Inzamam's reaction
Former Pakistan captain Inzamam ul Haq has also reacted to Pakistan's defeat. He said that I will talk to the board on this performance. He said that questions should be asked of the selectors, but they have selected such a team that I have to talk to the board.
