After Pakistan’s startling loss to Afghanistan in the opening T20I of the three-match series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, former captain Ramiz Raja has expressed his concerns.
The national team fielded a young team with four debutants as they rested five of its veteran players, including Babar Azam, the all-format captain, for the series.
However, the choice to try out new players didn’t work out as planned because they didn’t perform well in the game and made lots of errors.
However, the choice to try out new players didn’t work out as planned because they were unable to provide a respectable performance in the game and committed multiple mistakes.
In response, Ramiz Raja, a former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), highlighted that victory should always come first, even when testing out new players.
Ramiz Raja said there is a lot of potential in Pakistan, but players need to adapt to the game’s environment and learn from their mistakes in a video posted on his YouTube account.
Ramiz continued by saying that the Men in Green should have added a second spinner to their starting lineup because the pitch was favourable for spinners, which benefited the opponent team.
Ramiz went on to say that the team lead by Shadab Khan still has a chance to win the series, but they will need to put in a lot of effort and be careful not to make any mistakes.
