Pakistan Cricket Is Going Down Fast, Lament Former Stars After Loss To Australia

By IANS News June 03, 2026 • 22:12 PM View: 199

Former Pakistan stars lambasted the current national team after its abject surrender against a depleted Australian side in the second ODI of the series in Lahore on Tuesday, declaring that the country’s cricket is going down at a fast rate, a news report said on Wednesday.

Former captain Rashid Latif said wrong selection and failing in game awareness caused the steep fall. “Pakistan cricket is going down in speed,” Latif told Telecom Asia Sport. “The selection is based on 'take my two and I take your two, ' which is wrong and makes the selection strange.”
