Delhi: It is not that Babar Azam's Pakistan team is the first team which failed miserably while playing a Test series in England. Nor are they the first team whose game is being ridiculed by England's cricket experts and old captains. What is wrong is Pakistan's own nervousness in response to this defeat and criticism. The complete turmoil in his team added to the drama. What is the guarantee that those who have now been included in the team will stop the losing streak?

Didn't think about what effect the changes made these days (7 players changed while Salman Agha and Mohammad Rizwan as well as coaches Sarfaraz Khan and Umar Gul were recalled) Everyone knows that successful teams are not found immediately. For him, trust in the players and the captain is most important. They forgot the mess that is going on amidst all this. At present, most experts agree that the current problems of Pakistan cricket are beyond the counting of runs and wickets and unless these improve, the graph of the team's record will continue to go down. The 5 biggest reasons:
1. Wrong team selection policy: The truth is that Pakistan does not have any team selection policy. Whenever he chose whomever he wanted, he threw him out in the same manner. Former head coach Jason Gillespie even targeted the current selection committee chairman Aaqib Javed in this matter and even said that he should first 'look at himself in the mirror' and then blame the players, thus creating uncertainty again and again. If you don't let the players survive then how will the team be formed? The board also gave a show-cause notice to the selection committee and created a drama.
2. The biggest scandal was not allowing Gillespie and Kirsten to last: Pakistan were fortunate to have stalwarts like Gerry Kirsten and Jason Gillespie join their coaching staff. If the board had trusted him, Pakistan cricket would not have been in the situation it is in now. Both were expelled with wrong charges. Gillespie said in an interview with Code Sports, 'He held Gary Kirsten and me responsible for the mistakes made in those days when we were not even there. After this example, how will they get a big foreign coach? Losing a coach like Kirsten has been very costly for Pakistan cricket.
3. If you don't let the captain stand, how will the team be formed: Everyone believes that Salman Aga worked hard in building the team. Even then, after removing them, Babar was brought back. In the current series, when Babar was not available in the first test, Agha was made the captain but was dropped from the team for the second test. Now, sent back to Pakistan before the third test. This is really a very strange thing. How can you judge a captain and a player on the basis of just one Test match in England? And that too, when he was given the responsibility of captaincy at the very last moment?
4. The board itself is in the hands of those who do not know cricket: It is not hidden from anyone how much cricket Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi knows. Neither is he running the Pakistan Cricket Board properly nor has he been able to run it properly as the Chief of the Asian Cricket Council. Not forgetting the Asia Cup scam, he is now the target of criticism in his own country for his negligence in arranging cricket matches in the Asian Games. Unless the reins of Pakistan cricket are in the hands of those who know cricket, the condition of Pakistan cricket will continue to be the same. He belongs to politics and if he stays there, his cricket will improve.

5. First focus should be cricket: This is the biggest drawback that the focus is more towards giving rise to conflict and controversy than the betterment of cricket in the country. Now a record is also being kept as to which hollow threats were given by the Pakistan Cricket Board? Even the unity of Asian cricket countries has been torn to pieces. If Pakistan pays more attention to the betterment of cricket in its country instead of being jealous of India's progress in cricket and unnecessarily clashing, then Pakistan cricket should not be in such a plight. Rashid Latif himself said, 'The present board is the worst board in the last 70 years. No one is talking about the worst selection committee and coaches.
