Delhi: The Pakistan cricket team is once again on the verge of getting out of the group stage of the ICC ODI tournament. In the 2025 Champions Trophy, where Pakistan is both defending champion and host, the team has almost been out of the tournament after losing their first two matches. Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram is very angry with this and has taken a dig at Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Selection Committee.
Wasim Akram’s displeasure
Speaking on Sports Central after defeat in Dubai against India, Wasim Akram reacted strongly to the decisions of the selection committee.
Akram clearly said, “We have to take tough decisions. Now it is too much! For the last several years, we have been losing with these players. Now new players should be given a chance who play fearlessly. If you want to make changes, do it completely. Give new players a chance of six months and start preparing for 2026 T20 World Cup. ”
He further said, “Pakistan bowlers have taken only 24 wickets in the last five matches and their average is 60. This year, among the 14 teams playing ODI cricket, including Oman and America, Pakistan’s bowling average is the second worst. After all, what to do now? “
The former captain also questioned the selectors and said, “Was Khushdil Shah and Salman Aga hope that he would dismiss the Indian batsmen?” We were already saying that this team is not right, yet the selection committee chose the same team without thinking more. ”
