Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, gave his approval on Monday to the promotion of “quality domestic” cricket at all levels, urging the organization of competitions at all levels, from the club to the national. After being humiliated by the United States in a super-over match, Pakistan lost by six runs against India, their fiercest rivals, in a match where they were unable to reach a meager target of 120 runs.
Then, for the first time in their history, Pakistan was indirectly eliminated from a T20 World Cup event during the group stages after rain split the points equally between Ireland and the USA. Following Pakistan’s defeat to India on June 11, Mohsin Naqvi took a hard stance against the team management, claiming that the Babar Azam-led team needed “major surgery.”
It was also Mohsin Naqvi’s opinion that players who have been sitting outside the team should be given some consideration. He also pointed out the fact that player’s performance and fitness will not be compromised at all in the way forward for the Pakistan National Cricket Team.
Mohsin Naqvi Calls For Quality Domestic Cricket
While presiding over a meeting in Lahore’s National Cricket Academy today, Naqvi said, “Quality domestic cricket will be promoted at all levels.”
In a post on PCB Media’s X account, Naqvi stated that professional grooming had to be given to sportsmen. “Better coaches will improve the skills of the new talent by training them.”
Mohsin Naqvi made the decision to amend the domestic contracts during the meeting, even though he refused to support the enhancement of coaches on the domestic circuit. According to him, athletes who wish to compete for their country must compete on the home circuit.
Adding that players will only be given further opportunities based on their performance, fitness and merit. Mohsin Naqvi said :
“Investing in new talent will promote cricket at the grassroots level and yield positive results, Players will be selected based on performances and tricks. There will be no compromise on merit, performance and fitness,”
