The Pakistan cricket group goes by way of quite a lot of contemplation. After a disappointing Cricket World Cup beneath skipper Babar Azam, the place they completed fifth, the nationwide group has seen quite a lot of adjustments. They have a brand new Test captain (Shan Masood) and a T20I captain (Shaheen Afridi). The choice panel can also be new. The first job of the new-look Pakistan cricket group will begin in Australia within the subsequent few days.

The Pakistan cricket group was guided nearly solely by overseas coaches on the Cricket World Cup. Grant Bradburn was their coach whereas Mickey Arthur was the Team Director. Morne Morkel was the bowling coach.

Pakistan nice Wasim Akram has lashed out on the overseas coaches.

“Our foreign coaches aren’t here (in Pakistan) all the time. They only come for Tours. They don’t put efforts in going to the NCA and coaching youngsters or other coaches. They don’t work on the man-management and psychological side of things. Unhone to laddu khilaya hua hai hum sab ko (we are just being fooled),” Wasim Akram mentioned on Sportskeeda.

Pakistan’s new Test captain Shan Masood was just lately requested on whether or not he is perhaps made the proverbial ‘sacrificial lamb’ if Australia Tour doesn’t go effectively for Pakistan.

“Aapko Qurbani ka bakra banaya jayega (You will be made the sacrificial lamb)?” a reporter requested Shan Masood.

“Firstly, we see it as an opportunity. When you haven’t done something before in your history, then you have an opportunity to go out there and try to change it. So that’s what we’re trying to do, to get a positive result for Pakistan and in this World Test Championship,” Shan Masood mentioned at a press convention.

“And as far as being qurbaani ka bakra (sacrificial lamb) is concerned, the captaincy, playing as a player in the side, these are all temporary things at the end of the day. As long as you are in that place, or seat, you should relish the opportunity, enjoy it and try and take responsibility, and give your best ability to the team.”

Pakistan Test captain Shan Masood’s contract was on Thursday upgraded to ‘B’ class from earlier ‘D’ by the nation’s cricket board, hours after the group led by him left for Australia for a Test collection.
