Demand to dismiss Mohsin Naqvi from the post of PCB chairman after defeat to India: Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf has criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board for having personal grudges and being influenced by current politics. He has said that under such leadership, Pakistan is now going through the worst phase in its cricket history.
Pakistan cricket is going through its worst phase at the moment, especially in ICC tournaments. Pakistan has failed to advance to a single WTC final so far; They have not played a 50-over ICC final since the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, and their last best ICC Cricket World Cup performance was in 2011, when they made the semi-finals.
Pakistan is going through many changes in recent times. After adding Mike Hesson to the squad, they have dropped veteran batsman Mohammad Rizwan from the T20I squad, and have issued an ultimatum to every great player to perform if they want to retain their place in the team. However, despite this, there has been no change in Pakistan cricket yet.
Mohammad Yusuf demanded removal of Mohsin Naqvi from PCB
After the recent defeat to India in the ICC T20 World Cup, former Pakistani captain Mohammad Yousuf has claimed that to bring Pakistan out of the worst phase in their cricket history, they have to remove individuals with political influence and personal agenda from the PCB.
“Unless we remove political influence and personal agendas from Pakistan cricket, we cannot return to the team we were. This is the darkest period in our cricket history and my heart aches for it. Mohammad Yusuf tweeted, Incompetent persons should be removed from office and team.
This claim of Yusuf seems to be a direct attack on the current PCB Chief of Pakistan and Home Minister of Pakistan Mohsin Naqvi. It is clear that Mohsin Naqvi has often prioritized politics over cricket and he also has personal resentment towards the Indian team after it refused to take the Asia Cup trophy from their hands.
Yusuf also demanded removal of incompetent persons
Along with asking the PCB to remove such politically influenced individuals, he also asked for the removal of incompetent players from the Pakistan national team. However, the former star did not clarify who he considered to be an incompetent cricketer.
Pakistan has failed many times in the shortest format of the game. However, there could be unqualified players like Babar Azam, as he has failed to perform well in recent times, especially on occasions when it mattered most for his team.
Unless we remove political influence and personal agendas from Pakistan cricket, we cannot return to the team we were. This is the darkest period in our cricket history and my heart aches for it. Ineligible individuals should be removed from the office and team.
