Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan criticized PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi for Pakistan cricket's decline following a 10-wicket loss to Bangladesh, attributing the failure to unqualified leadership and corruption. Former cricketer Basit Ali blamed Abdullah Shafique's poor shot selection for the defeat, suggesting that better decision-making was needed. Ahmed Shehzad echoed Khan’s sentiments, blaming the PCB for sticking with the same players and not promoting domestic talent. Meanwhile, Naseem Shah expressed frustration over the flat pitch conditions in Rawalpindi, arguing that Pakistan needs to maximize home advantage by preparing more favorable surfaces for bowlers.
