“The downfall of…”: Danish Kaneria opens up on PCB’s backbiting culture

All is not well in Pakistan cricket after the side’s recent Test series defeat to Bangladesh at home. The Tigers completed a series whitewash against the Men in Green by coming out on top in both the matches of the 2-match Test series. Bangladesh registered their first-ever Test series triumph over Pakistan with the series whitewash.

Following the disappointing loss, former spinner Danish Kaneria has launched a scathing attack on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Kaneria, who played 61 Tests for Pakistan, called out the PCB for their backbiting culture.

“Everything is taken for granted; that’s why the downfall of Pakistan cricket has gone through making captains, changing captain. That will not work. Stick to your captain stick with him. Okay, I have made him the captain for one year. I will ask him. I will ask him to give me an answer after one year. Nobody will touch him you have full support from me, but you need to perform. If you don’t perform, you go out, so that’s the thing you have to make tough decisions. Why, if you don’t make tough decisions, things will not work,” Kaneria told Republic TV.

On the other hand, Kaneria praised Indian cricket for creating an environment of smooth transition whenever there is a major change. He also praised current India head coach Gautam Gambhir for his positive attitude and strong personality.

“Why today other teams are doing so well Why is the Indian team is doing so well? They had a Rahul Dravid who worked with the team very well now they have Gautam Gambhir, a fantastic cricketer and fantastic guy. The way he reacts, he tells on the face. He doesn’t go back and do backbiting; he’s on the face straight away. This is how you have to be. You have to be strong, and like a strong person, you have to make the decision on the face, not at the back,” Kaneria said.
