Bananas on the ground: a symbol of poor management?

In the second criticism of the bite, Akram mocked Pakistan’s dietary elections during the matches. Remembering an incident from their game against India, he said: “It was the first or second break of drinks, and for the players it was a plate full of bananas. Even monkeys don’t eat so much bananas! If it were our captain Imran Khan, he would have given me a beating.”

This anecdote emphasizes Akram’s frustration that he perceives as unprofessionalism and lack of attention to the details in the crown in Pakistan.

Bowling troubles: worse than Oman and now?

One of the Akram’s most interesting discoveries was about Pakistan’s performance. He pointed out that in the last five OPE, Pakistan bowlers only succeeded in 24 shots on average 60 runs per Wicket – statistics worse than associated teams like teams like Oman AND USA.

“Our bowling average is the second worst among the 14 teams playing ODO. Enough is enough. You made them without merit,“Akram added further.

Need for structural reforms

Akram’s criticism extends beyond individual performance to systemic questions that plague the cricket of Pakistan. He invited the overhaul of domestic structures to produce fearless cries that can compete on a global stage.

“Call the captain, the selection committee and train and ask them what kind of choice they made,“He concluded, asking why players love Khushdil Shah and Salman agha were included despite the lack of ability to take over WICKKTA.
