Delhi: Pakistan’s Champions Trophy 2025 (ICC Champions Trophy) campaign ended in a very disappointing manner as New Zealand defeated Bangladesh on Monday (February 24) and ended the last hope of reaching the semi -finals. The defending champion Pakistan failed to win a single match and fell out of the group stage.
Pakistan started their campaign on February 19 with a 60 -run defeat against New Zealand in Karachi. After this, arch-rivals India defeated him by six wickets. After these two consecutive defeats, the path of Pakistan’s semi -finals became difficult. Not only this, he had to be out of the tournament.
After Pakistan was out of the tournament, many cricket experts analyzed their failure. During the match between England and Afghanistan on 26 February, commentator Ian Bishop, Nasir Hussain and Ian Smith discussed it.
Bishop appreciated Pakistan’s fast bowling talent and said that there are some great young fast bowlers in the country, but the team lacks depth. He said, “He has a brilliant young fast bowler, but needs to prepare him properly.”
Former England captain Nasir Hussain described the injuries of Pakistan opener Sym Job and Fakhar Zaman as a major reason for the team’s poor performance. However, the bishop believed that it would not be right to blame only injuries. He said that teams like India and New Zealand are successful on the strength of strong backup players. Pakistan will also have to strengthen its bench strength.
The bishop called Pakistan’s young batsman Mohammad Haris a possible game-changer in white-ball cricket. He said, “Haris is fantastic, but he has the same aggression that modern cricket is needed. The question is, how does Pakistan prepare them correctly? “
Mohammad Haris made his debut in international cricket in 2022 and has played 6 ODIs and 9 T20 matches so far. However, his performance has been disappointing. His average in ODIs is only 7.5 and 14 in T20. His last ODI was against Sri Lanka in 2023, in which he was able to score just three runs.
