Root causes behind team’s defeats
LAHORE, Sept 18: Lack of fitness, a proper game plan and confidence are the root causes behind the defeats of the Pakistan cricket team in the last three tournaments.
This was observed by the former Test cricketers who participated in an one day long seminar held here on Thursday. The seminar presided over by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Lt Gen. Tauqir Zia, also informed the attendance that the same reasons were also marked by the team management.
The former Test cricketers suggested the PCB to develop fresh talent in order to make replacement for the players who might lack form or fitness. The participants also suggested that there should be more tours by Pakistan ‘A’, Under-19 and Under-17 to other countries on reciprocal basis.
The discussion also considered the plan about the possible replacement of the coach of the team Mudassar Nazar. The PCB chief informed the gathering that Richard Pybus was coming to Pakistan to meet him on Saturday in order to settle his assignment as new coach of the Pakistan team.
