Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has stated that the critics should not blame Pakistan cricketers as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is focusing only on Pakistan Super League (PSL) and not take domestic cricket seriously.
Kaneria said that the downfall of Pakistan cricket started when they removed Sarfaraz from captaincy. Pakistan is currently witnessing a major downfall as they have not performed good since the 2022 T20 World Cup final. Pakistan cricket team failed to perform in the ODI World Cup 2024 where USA defeated them in the group stage match.
“I think we should not blame players, it is the system that has been failing time and again and as a result, Pakistan cricket is going down. Pakistan Cricket Board is only focusing towards PSL rather they should take domestic cricket seriously. They have made Test cricket secondary. Their downfall started when they removed Sarfaraz Ahmed from captaincy, he was a perfect skipper. There has been a lot of politics going on in the Pakistan Cricket Board and as a result, the aura, and the ambience of the team have been pathetic”, Kaneria said.
