AFTER being whitewashed by Australia in ODI and T20 series, the Pakistan team was handed another clean sweep by the Aussies in the Test series as well.

The inexperienced Pakistan cricket team was outplayed by the Australians in all three formats of the game.

Even senior players failed to impress. In fact, their antics have made Pakistan a laughing stock in the cricket world.

Former cricketers and the game’s experts have criticised and questioned the Pakistan Cricket Board for its decisions and demanded immediate changes in the team and management to save the nation’s favourite sport from further ruin.
