'Never seen Pakistan cricket sink so low in my life': PAK legend pained, blasts PCB for making 'mistakes after mistakes'

Pakistan's defeat to Bangladesh and a further docking of points due to slow over rate has put a major dent in their chances of making the WTC final.

Bangladesh's long wait for a Test win in Pakistan ended when they romped to a 10-wicket win in Rawalpindi. It was the 14th match between the two sides in Pakistan. While the hosts had won 13 and drawn one, they were completely outplayed by Bangladesh in Rawalpindi and their victory was confirmed in the second session of Day 5. To make matters worse, Pakistan were docked six points on the World Test Championship table for slow over rate, which put a further dent in their chances of making the final.

Mudassar Nazar, the former Pakistan batter and ex-head coach, slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as being a bunch of "confused people" whose mistakes are hurting the sport in the country. "The PCB is full of confused people and they are making mistakes after mistakes, leading to increasing problems in Pakistan cricket," Mudassar is quoted as saying by PTI.

Nazar said that he was surprised with the decision to play four fast bowlers in the first Test. Pakistan fielded Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Ali. "Everyone who has played cricket in Pakistan knows that no matter whatever anyone says in August the pitches in Rawalpindi tend to become good batting tracks after the first one or two hours of help for the seamers,” said Nazar.
