This year’s T20 World Cup witnessed an incredible incident on October 28. Zimbabwe beat Pakistan by 1 run in a breathtaking match. And that caused an uproar in the entire cricket world. Pakistan’s former cricketers also cannot accept this loss in any way. They are speechless at the loss of the team.
After the match loss, former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram wrote on Twitter, “What a disappointment!” Another former captain of the country, Shahid Afridi, tweeted, “Won’t call the result an upset, if you watched the match you know Zimbabwe played top cricket from ball #1 and showed how to defend a low total on a batting pitch.”
Besides, former captain Mohammad Hafeez wrote, “Speechless.” Wahab Riaz wrote, “Heartbroken.” But Mohammad Amir is the most affected. He criticized Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) president Ramiz Raza and the team’s chief selector Mohammad Wasim after the loss against Zimbabwe.
Criticizing Ramiz and Wasim, Amir wrote, “I have been saying since the beginning, bad team selection. Who will take responsibilities for this? I think the time has come to get rid of the so-called PCB president. Who thinks himself God. The time has come to be rescued from the hands of the so-called chief selector too.”
Meanwhile, it has become very difficult for Pakistan to go to the last four after losing their first two matches. But the lamp of hope is not completely extinguished. To go to the last four, they have to win the remaining three matches by a large margin. At the same time, they have to look at other parties. Pakistan can reach to the last four in the calculation of points table.
