Pakistan Cricket Self-denial won’t change reality, and neither will wishful thinking. You can’t fool the world. Top international teams are the product of well-oiled, scientifically driven systems—Pakistan, meanwhile, remains stuck in mediocrity. A 78-run loss to New Zealand isn’t an upset; it’s a reflection of where we stand. The calls for restructuring, modernization, and data-driven development have been loud and clear. The sport needs professionals who understand the modern game, not outdated decision-makers. Pakistan cricket isn’t declining—it has declined. The system must change, or expect more of the same.
