**Inzamam-ul-Haq’s Candid Assessment of Pakistan Cricket’s Challenges: “An Inevitable Decline Looms…”**
Former Pakistan national cricket team captain, Inzamam-ul-Haq, has voiced his apprehension regarding the persistent downturn in the country’s cricket performance, attributing the trend to missteps by those at the helm of the sport. In an articulate discourse with the media in Lahore, Inzamam highlighted the noticeable deterioration in the team’s performance over the past two years. He underscored a lack of strategic direction and misguided decisions within various facets of the organization. He cautioned that without meticulous planning and execution, Pakistan cricket is on a trajectory towards further decline.
Identifying frequent alterations in management, coaching staff, and player rosters as contributors to the instability, Inzamam urged the cricket board to adopt a reflective stance and avoid past errors that have plagued the team over the previous two years. Having experienced the turbulence firsthand, following his resignation in 2023 as chief selector due to a conflict of interest controversy mishandled by the board, Inzamam emphasized that incessant managerial changes offer no resolution.
“We need to assess and understand the root causes of our problems instead of reacting impulsively,” he advised, arguing that continuous changes undermine player confidence, thereby stunting their development. Inzamam praised Babar Azam, affirming his status as an exemplary player, despite acknowledging that the national team has not showcased commendable cricketing prowess in recent months.
He advocated for collective trust and collaboration among management and players to pinpoint areas requiring improvement. Addressing inquiries about the influence of players from the 1990s, Inzamam reaffirmed their indelible impact on Pakistan cricket, asserting that their absence would signify a formidable loss to the team’s fortitude.
