Shoaib Akhtar, Pakistan’s one of the greatest bowlers of all time has lashed out on the skipper Misbah Ul Haq for not coming out to bat early and protect the players to show inspiration and guide his team.
This is what Shoaib Akhtar said ” I haven’t seen a coward and a selfish captain like Misbah. “He is not willing to bat up the order to protect the other players at a time when he needs to show inspiration.
“He is happy with his own runs and I don’t know what coach Waqar Younis wants. He has no game plan or direction for the team,”
A lot of Pakistani former players also questioned the inclusion of Younis Khan in the team.
This is what Rameez Raja had to say
“I beg of Younis. Thank you for your services to Pakistan cricket but please leave this ODI side now,” said Ramiz.
“I think Younis should tell the management he should be rested. Our fielding has also been a joke but we need just one good match to get back on the winning track.”
Mohammad Yousuf, one with Younis Khan had memorable partnerships at a time said
“The problems ailing our cricket will not go away unless we produce better batsmen and the management is reshuffled,”
Saqlain Mushtaq, the spin legend also said “”We went to pieces against a West Indies side hit by internal issues so what can we expect from this team in the remaining games?,
