Pakistan cricket is cocooned in contradictions. I’m an unshaken believer in performance-driven systems. Moving on is only justifiable when the shift from conventional to modern cricket is definitive—underpinned by elite infrastructure and replacements who are actually better.
Instead, Mike Hesson has turned it into farce. And Aqib Javed, flanking him at the press conference, tried to justify the unjustifiable.
Take Fakhar Zaman. One of Pakistan’s finest white-ball players, no doubt. Yet in 2025, he's played five T20Is, scored 101 runs at an average of 20.00, striking at 113. This is not a purple patch; it's a drought. Fitness is his concern.
Then there’s Salman Ali Agha. A capable Test and ODI cricketer, but a misfit in T20s. We once castigated Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan—on strike rates, intent, modernity.
The narrative felt less about evolution, more about expulsion. Their decline, it turned out, was self-inflicted—under siege from a system eager to prove them obsolete.
Yet Salman, now leading the side, has a T20I average of 27.14 and a strike rate of 115.86. Compare that to Babar: 39.84 at 129.30. It’s not close.
Babar and Rizwan may have warranted a reshuffle, but without clear, worthy replacements, the changes feel hollow. Despite their flaws, they still delivered more wins than the current, ever-rotating squad — 30 players in 21 games is chaos, not strategy. Though they couldn’t win tournaments. That’s true.
The returns of Nawaz and Wasim only deepen the confusion: if they're good enough now, why were they dropped before? Which performances made their returns possible? What Pakistan faces isn’t reform, but a crisis of identity disguised as experimentation. Perhaps the real issue wasn’t just who was leading, but the vacuum that followed.
There are glimpses of batting promise—Sahibzada Farhan, maybe Saim Ayub, a fit Fakhar, and Hasan Nawaz. But beyond them? As Rashid Latif put it, “Babar and Rizwan on one leg are still better than the rest.”
So what explains this?
Incompetence? Double standards? Hypocrisy? Personal agendas? Or the full package?
Whatever it is, it isn’t merit. And it certainly isn’t modern.
