Pakistan Cricket Criticized Post-Champions Trophy Exit

Pakistan's early exit from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, despite being the defending champions and hosts, has drawn significant criticism from former players, including Sana Mir, Javed Miandad, and Sunil Gavaskar. The criticisms focus on poor team selection, lack of passion, and management issues, with Gavaskar noting that even India's B team could challenge them. This reflects broader mismanagement within Pakistan cricket, marked by frequent leadership changes and insufficient bench strength. Recent performances, including losses to traditionally weaker teams, underline a deeper crisis in Pakistan's cricket structure. The team's inability to capitalize on opportunities at home highlights their current struggles.
