Pakistan "Koi Match Na Jeete...": Ex-Star's Baffling Remedy After Cricket World Cup Poor Show

The Pakistan Cricket team at the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 is going through a tough phase. Three losses in a row at the Cricket World Cup in India has left the Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team on the brink of exit. In five matches, 1992 World Cup champions Pakistan have lost three and faces almost a must-win situation in their remaining four matches. They next face South Africa on Friday. Former stars have been bashing Pakistan cricket team after their latest defeat against Afghanistan.

"What are you saying!! I cant see Pakistan lose," asked the stunned  anchor who was conducting the show.

"It's not about losing. That way their ego won't come in the way," replied Kamran Akmal.

Former Pakistan players tore into captain Babar Azam and other players for their poor performance in the tournament. Aaqib Javed was quoted as saying by news agency PTI that Shaheen Shah Afridi should be made Pakistan captain in the white ball formats in place of Babar.

"Shaheen is the best bet for the future of Pakistan cricket. Babar has failed to prove himself as an able captain in white ball formats," the former pacer said.
