Pakistan's cricket team is facing a significant crisis, highlighted by their recent drop to eighth in the Test rankings—their worst in nearly sixty years—following a home series defeat to Bangladesh. This dismal performance follows a string of failures, including early exits from both the ODI and T20 World Cups. Experts attribute the team's struggles to political interference and nepotism within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which is led by Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as the country's interior minister amid rising militant attacks. The instability within the board, characterized by frequent changes in coaches and leadership, is believed to adversely affect on-field performance. Cricket, a sport that unites the nation, has seen its reputation tarnished, exacerbating fans' disappointment. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, a cricketing icon, has also voiced concerns about the impact of political machinations on the sport from his current imprisonment.
