Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq on Thursday stated that Pakistan batsmen too have the capability of surpassing someone like Virat Kohli but the lack of support from Pakistan Cricket Board holds them back. Terming it a tragedy, Razzaq said Pakistan players are neglected by the system
“I do believe that even in Pakistan we have players who could become better than Virat Kohli, but they are neglected by our system which is a tragedy. In Kohli’s case, he has taken that confidence shown in him by the board and using his talent, repaid them with his performances,” Razaq was quoted as saying by PakPassion.net.

“He (Virat Kohli) is a fantastic player and there is no doubt about it. However, he is lucky as the BCCI supports him well and instills the confidence in him that any player needs to succeed. The respect he gets from his board is what probably inspires him to do well all the time and the results are there for all to see,” he added.
