Ex India captain Sourav Ganguly’s no-holds-barred take on Pakistan cricket’s downfall
One of the legendary India cricketer SouravGanguly didn’t mince his words when criticising the Pakistan cricket team for its recent downfall across formats. Team Pakistan has been facing scrutiny from all corners after their Test series loss to Bangladesh at home. It’s not a sudden downfall, as Pakistan have not performed well across formats for over a year.
Ganguly feels there is a “genuine dearth of talent” in the country and they are far from the glory days when players like JavedMiandad, WasimAkram, WaqarYounis, formed the backbone of the team.
“I see a genuine dearth of talent in the country. Every time we think of Pakistan, we remember Miandad, Wasim, Waqar, Saeed Anwar, Mohammad Yousuf, and Younis Khan.
Ganguly also said, “That’s the memory of Pakistan for us, but that doesn’t win matches in the modern generation of cricket. Every generation has to produce outstanding players to win, and when I look at Pakistan in world cricket – I saw them in the West Indies World Cup, in India during the World Cup, and now after the Bangladesh series loss – there is a dearth of talent in that country.”
The former India captain further said that the PCB must find a solution to finding quality players who can win matches for them.
