Former national cricket all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has said after Pakistan’sembarrassing loss to India in the World Cup that there are too manyfriendships in the national team at the moment which are adverse to theteam success.
While speaking on a local private TV sports program after the match,Captain Babar Azam said that we were playing normal cricket. Hey, we werenot playing against any other team, but against India, and this match isnever normal; it’s synonymous with “do or die.”
Abdul Razzaq said that we didn’t do anything in the match and made it aone-sided match with poor performance. If we need to rest our bowlers, thenthey should rest against smaller teams like Afghanistan and others.
Former fast bowler said that it is not understood why the board wants toempower the captain whoever comes to the helm. It means to shoot yourselfin the foot. We do not have so much strength to take care of our playersand send them to the field with good physical fitness alongsidealternatives.
