Mohammad Yousuf Blames 2021 India Win for Pakistan Cricket Crisis
· Sports · Indian Express, Times of India
Former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Yousuf stated that the current decline in Pakistan cricket began after the 10-wicket victory over India in the 2021 T20 World Cup. He argued that the success led to a sense of complacency among players who struggled to define their future goals. Yousuf noted that the Pakistan Cricket Board recently sent seven players home following a Test series defeat to England. He highlighted internal competition for the captaincy and frequent coaching changes as factors contributing to the team's instability over recent years.
