Former fast bowler Mohammad Amir recently shared his thoughts on the struggles of the Pakistan cricket team, saying the problems began when Sarfaraz Ahmed was removed from the team. According to Amir, the team’s decline started in 2019 when head coach Mickey Arthur was let go. After that, key players like Sarfaraz Ahmed, Imad Wasim, and Amir himself were also dropped from the team.
Amir believes that these changes disrupted the team’s stability. He pointed out that some players were dropped and then brought back to the team repeatedly, which created confusion and affected performance. He criticized the past coaching staff for these inconsistent decisions, saying it hurt the team’s chances of building a strong and reliable squad.
He explained that when certain players were brought back after being left out, they did not perform well, proving that the selection decisions were not effective. Amir feels that this back-and-forth with players created uncertainty and did not allow the team to settle into a winning combination.
Ahmed Shehzad, another cricketer, also commented on the situation. He suggested that if the team management had tried different players, the results might have been better. Shehzad’s remarks echoed Amir’s concerns about the selection process and the need for better planning.
Overall, both cricketers seem to believe that the team’s struggles could have been avoided with more consistent selection policies and a clearer strategy. Their comments have sparked a discussion among cricket fans about how changes in leadership and team selection have impacted Pakistan’s performance on the international stage.
