“When I became part of the team as a director, there was a thought that the team’s starting lineup was not ready,” he continued. He blamed the team’s difficulties on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management, specifically Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, saying that the chairman should be held responsible for his actions during his tenure.
On the other side former pacer Shoaib Akhtar criticized the Pakistan cricket team after their heartbreaking loss to India, claiming that the national team lacks the necessary skills to win on the biggest stage.
Shoaib Akhtar stated, “We always talk about goals, but I think they have little skills,” during a current cricket event. They wouldn’t have played that way if they were talented.”
Following the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, he also voiced his frustration with the team’s captaincy and management, calling them “brainless and clueless.” “To be honest, clueless leadership and captaincy… extremely average group that tested its abilities there I have nothing to say about it,” he said. The team’s “successful” failures over the last few years have been criticized by Shoaib Akhtar.
