Shan Masood and Shaheen Afridi
Pakistan Cricket Team: The Pakistani team has lost the Test series against Bangladesh 2-0 at home. This series has been nothing less than a nightmare for Pakistan. Every move of Pakistani team captain Shan Masood has flopped badly. Senior players like Babar Azam, Shan Masood and Shaheen Afridi are out of form. This is the first time in the history of cricket that the Pakistani team has lost a Test series against Bangladesh.
Pakistani team has performed poorly
In the last one year, the Pakistani team has performed very poorly. This started with the Asia Cup 2023. When they could not reach the final after losing to India. Then in the ODI World Cup 2023, they lost to Afghanistan, which made it difficult for them to reach the semi-finals. Then in the beginning of the T20 series this year, they had to face defeat from Ireland. In the T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistani team lost to America and now the defeat from Bangladesh has embarrassed them.
Pakistan team doesn’t have star cricketers: Kaneria
Talking to India TV in an exclusive interview, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria said that today there is no star in the team. But Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi have been made overall stars. In the end, your performance is seen. Where is your performance? The performance is zero. Only cricket is left in Pakistan. If we play cricket like this, then our cricket will end. When we used to play Test cricket, half the stadium used to be full. Now there are only 100-200 people.
Danish Kaneria said that if you play boys on likes and dislikes and play boys on friendship, then you will get the same result. Cricketers like Fawad Alam, Abid Ali did not perform well in the two-match series and were dropped from the team. Babar Azam has not performed well in 13 matches, yet he is part of the playing eleven. Will you drop him? There should be some logic.
Nobody wants to play domestic cricket: Danish Kaneria
He said that increase the money for red ball cricket in domestic cricket and reduce the money for T20 cricket. People have become more attached to the white ball. Players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Rizwan do not want to play red-ball cricket in the domestic circuit. The board feels that it can get players from PSL. But the level of PSL is not good.
