The year 2024 has been a nightmare for Pakistan cricket, with the team struggling in both white and red ball formats. The last home Test victory dates back to 2021, marking a prolonged period of decline. The recent series against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi only added to the misery, with Pakistan losing both Tests. The team’s shortcomings are evident across all areas. These consistent failures have drained the joy out of following Pakistan cricket. The broader love for the game is fading among fans, who once found their greatest joy and hope in cricket. This heartbreak has been brought about by poor management from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), ineffective leadership, and underwhelming performances from the players. Every member of the setup shares responsibility for this decline. Calls for changes in leadership and management are growing louder, as the public’s patience wears thin. Some even argue that continuing to invest in Test cricket is no longer justified if such poor performances persist. Pakistan cricket stands at a critical juncture. To regain the trust and passion of millions of fans, a comprehensive overhaul is necessary.
