Down And Out, Beleaguered Pakistan To Play For Pride Against Bangladesh

Their dreams of defending the Champions Trophy title at home shattered, an under-fire Pakistan team will seek to play for pride when it faces an equally insipid Bangladesh in a dead rubber in Rawalpindi  on Thursday. With the tournament offering very little margin for error, Pakistan crumbled to suffer heavy defeats to New Zealand and arch-rivals India, which left them on the brink of elimination before the Kiwis confirmed it with their win over Bangladesh. Disgruntled fans are now calling for sweeping changes in the country's cricket structure starting from the very top of the pyramid, days after the first global tournament in Pakistan in 29 years got underway.

Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar "Should Be Ashamed": Yograj Singh Rips Into Pakistan Greats

The troubles that the Pakistan cricket team is experiencing are deep-rooted. Despite numerous changes in the board, management, selection committee and the players, the performances haven't improved for the cricketing fraternity's liking. Amid the intense chatter around the downfall of Pakistan cricket, former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh has offered his services to fix the problems in the Pakistan team within a year. Yograj, who runs a cricket academy, has trained many budding players over the years and has publicly offered to resurrect the Pakistan cricket team.

Amid Debate Over Champions Trophy Venue Advantage, Ex-India Star's "No Shame" Verdict

Aakash Chopra has admitted that India have a slight advantage over the other teams, with the Rohit Sharma-led side playing all its matches in Dubai. Since India refused to play in Pakistan, there matches are being hosted at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium under a hybrid model. India have been ruthless in the tournament so far, beating hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh in their first two group games so far, and have entered the semi-finals of the tournament. Chopra feels there is no shame in admitting that India do have an advantage as other teams are navigating through three different venues, apart from playing India in Dubai.

"When He Scores, It's Against Zimbabwe...": Babar Azam Slammed For Poor Batting Intent

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria came hard at premier Pakistani batters Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan for their poor performances in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy, slamming the former for his lack of "intent" against big oppositions and piling up runs majorly against smaller nations. It was a Champions Trophy to forget for Babar and Rizwan, who had forgettable outings against Bangladesh and arch-rivals India, scoring 87 runs (with a half-century) and 49 runs respectively in two matches so far. While Babar's sluggish knock of 64 in 90 balls against New Zealand while chasing 321 generated massive criticism, Rizwan repeated the same conservative approach with a sluggish 46 in 77 balls against India, which though helped Pakistan stitch a century stand, it could only take them to a final score of 241 runs. The result of such sluggishness is: Pakistan knocked out of their home tournament within a matter of five days.

Shoaib Malik Asked Awkward Question By Mohammad Hafeez On Live TV. Shoaib Akhtar Intervenes

Pakistan's early exit from the Champions Trophy has led to nationwide outrage, with fans and experts criticising the teams approach. The hosts of the tournament, Pakistan, are officially out of the semi-finals race after losing to New Zealand and India, respectively, in their first two group games. However, all hell broke loose on live television when former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez put ex-teammate Shoaib Malik in an awkward position by asking him about his mentorship role during the PCB organised Champions Cup One-Day tournament last year.

"Even Monkeys Don't...": Wasim Akram Lambasts Pakistan's Act Against India In Champions Trophy

Pakistan is angry. Pakistan is fuming. If the loss against India in the Champions Trophy 2025 clash on Sunday was not enough, a day later the Pakistan cricket team was knocked out of the tournament with a match still left in the group stages. This is a new low for Pakistan cricket. Over the years, Pakistan have been unpredictable, and that has been their brand of cricket. They reached mercurial highs and then suffered inexplicable lows. But even that surprise factor has gone missing from Pakistan in the last few years.
