Pakistan cricket’s downfall isn’t just about skills, it’s the death of meritocracy from grassroots to the top.

Cricket is no longer a common man’s game; inflation has turned it into a rich man’s sport. No hardball cricket at root level = no future stars.

@wajih_sani reading news like Usman Tariq’s mystery spin—unexpected pauses, unpredictable flow 😄.

@RohaNadym Also, Focus on own job.

@iRashidLatif68 @sohailimrangeo With rain on the cards and a possible reduced-over match, Pakistan might be better off backing Nafay over @babarazam258.

5 lefties in Indian side so Nawaz out.

[Hashim Raza @hashimraza2008]

@khatak_says @khattak Totally agree. Against strong teams, neither Usman nor Babar at 4 works. No makeshift middle order either. We need proper middle-order batters. Weak middle order forces reliance on all-rounders, risking a shortage of genuine pacers vs Asian teams.

[Hashim Raza @hashimraza2008]

In my opinion, Pakistan still needs a second attack bowler against India. A bowler who can bring the ball back to a left-handed batsman could be effective. Hassan is a strong option.

Skills and mindset make it easier to win any contest.

Apply it to every field.

@aaliaaaliya

[Hashim Raza @hashimraza2008]

Faheem Ashraf is an underutilized player, recently making significant contributions in batting when given the chance. His bowling skills are also not fully exploited. Effective resource management is the captain's responsibility.

[Hashim Raza @hashimraza2008]

@AbdurRoufKhan6 Babar needs to seek help from Javed bhai to improve on balls directed towards his body.
He also needs help from @YounusK75 and @SarfarazA_54 to improve his game against spin and add shots like sweeps.

@aaliaaaliya Intent or Skills?

Our players perform well in bilateral series & against lower-ranked teams, but they struggle in multilateral tournaments & ICC events due to skill deficiencies. Intent without skills is ineffective. We need to prioritize skill development.
