Win Projections to be updated soon
Legendary cricketer Wasim Akram voiced his displeasure with foreign coaches in Pakistani cricket after his team did poorly in the just-finished ODI World Cup. The 57-year-old claims that because the coaches don’t attend the national team academy (NCA) or stick with the squad for the full season, they aren’t contributing to the development of the team. He bemoaned the fact that foreign coaches simply visit during a tour and then leave, which does not help the side.
In Wasim Akram opinion, there is little long-term growth and very little involvement.
He advocated for Pakistan to coach the national team and called for a more active role. Gautam Gambhir, a former cricket player, has a similar viewpoint and claims that foreign trainers have recently duped Pakistan.
“Our foreign coaches aren’t always present in Pakistan.” They are merely there for the excursions. They don’t try to come to the NCA and work with kids or other coaches. They ignore the psychological component and man-management. DNA cited Akram as stating, “Unhone to laddu khilaya hua hai hum sab ko (we are just being fooled).”
Shan Masood: We have the power to alter history.
Shan Masood took over as the team’s captain after Babar Azam resigned, and his first task is a challenging away series against Australia. Pakistan has never won a Test series in Australia, thus the players have a wonderful chance to rewrite history, the newly chosen captain said ahead of the practice match against Prime Minister XI.
First of all, we consider it an opportunity. In situations where you haven’t done anything in the past, you have the chance to attempt to make a difference. In order to help Pakistan and this World Test Championship, that is what we are attempting to achieve,” Masood said during a news conference.
