Pakistan is heartbroken over cricket. Imported by British colonials, it is now the favourite sport in the world’s fifth most populous country. But the Pakistani team’s recent record of defeats in international competitions has left fans bitter and raising many questions. Why has Pakistani cricket become so bad?
From our correspondent in Islamabad
Historically, the cricket is a sport in which the Pakistan excels, with three world championship titles to its name. But the country recently fell to eighth place in the international rankings. A total debacle for the Pakistani team, which owes it in particular to a defeat against BangladeshSeptember 3, 2024. The Bangladeshi team is not, however, known to be a rival of Pakistan, considered one of the reservoirs of the best players in the world.
Another aberration also denounced by cricket experts is the accumulation of mandates of the resident of the Cricket Federation, who is none other than the current Minister of Interior. He has no experience in this sport adored in Pakistan and he combines two functions which have nothing to do with each other.
