In the great match of T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan team had to face a humiliating defeat by 6 runs against Team India. In this match played at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, India had given a target of 120 runs to Babar Brigade to win, but it could only score 113 runs for seven wickets.
After this defeat, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is angry. Expressing a strong reaction, he said that the team led by Babur Azam now needs to undergo major surgery. Naqvi looked completely disappointed with the team’s performance.
According to Pakistani media, Naqvi said in New York that I had thought that the team would need minor surgery to win the match, but now it seems that we will have to undergo major surgery. Naqvi also said that now there is a need to pay attention to those players who have been out of the team for some time. He said that the way we lost the matches against America and now India is very disappointing. We now have to look at those players who are not in the team at the moment. Everyone is asking why the team is not performing well? The World Cup is going on right now but of course we need to take everything into account.
Pakistan reached a difficult situation
To make it to the Super Eight, Pakistan will have to win the next two matches against Canada and Ireland by big margins and will also have to pray for the results of other teams to be favourable. If America defeats Ireland then Pakistan team will automatically be out of the tournament.
Pak team had gone through big changes after ODI World Cup 2023
Pakistan team’s performance in the ICC ODI World Cup held last year was also poor. The team was out of the league round itself. After this, there were major changes in the PCB as well as the captaincy of the Pakistan team. Babar had to resign from the captaincy of all three formats. Shaheen became the captain in T20. At the same time, Shan Masood was made the test captain.
Captaincy may be snatched from Babar Azam again
However, this year Naqvi became the PCB Chief in place of Zaka Ashraf and then there was a change in the captain. Babar returned as T20 captain. Now Pakistan team is in bad condition in T20 World Cup also. In such a situation, after poor performance in the T20 World Cup, the captaincy may once again be snatched from Babar.
