Teams are supposed to be run with many factors but important factors are there should be unity, discipline, and co-operation if these factors aren’t implemented then you won’t be successful as a team. Respect the opinions and try to be like a family which teaches you team building. But it feels like Pakistan cricket is not following.
After their shocking exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, there were plenty of mishaps and it was buzzing on social media. PCB sacked Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz from the selection committee. In 2025 Pakistan will be hosting the Champions Trophy.
Atiq-Uz-Zaman speaks about Gary Kirsten
Pakistan took an early exit from the T20 World Cup 2024 as they lost to USA and India. After that, some reports claimed that there was a division between the team and no one cared about anyone’s decisions so unity was lacking between them. When PCB asked to give a detailed report from Gary Kirsten he mentioned about lack of fitness, unity and team spirit as everyone stands on their own decisions and no one respects anyone.
After some days some more reports were saying that Shaheen Afridi was not behaving properly with his head coach so Shaheen may get a punishment or else he may be sacked from the team. This kind of nature is not treated by any team and disrespecting the head coach is even worse if you don’t want to play as a team then play individually and don’t represent your nation if your tantrums are superior to the nation. Former Pakistan player Atiq-Uz-Zaman has questioned Gary Kirsten on his feedback report which he mentioned rather he complained that the team is somehow not appreciated by him. Atiq-Uz-Zaman said:
“Gary Kirsten came in and started complaining already. If you had the leadership skills, why are you complaining to the board about it? You should have resolved it while you were there. So, fingers crossed, I hope they do well, but I don’t see things getting fixed quickly.”
But actually, if a head coach complains about the team’s performance then what’s wrong with this head coach is the most important person on the team and he manages every player’s fitness and supervises every player’s game in a detailed way, and when the board asks them about their opinion then what kind of mistake they committed.
