Danish Kaneria Slams PCB for their involvement in Internal Politics

Pakistan cricket has seen a constant decline in the last couple of years. Internal politics and constant changes in the management and captains has caused their bad performance in different formats. The team hit their lowest following their loss to Bangladesh 2-0 at home grounds.

Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria assessed the situation and blamed PCB for their bad tactics which led to the team’s bad performances. Kaneria said that the board is only focused on PSL and is not giving enough attention to domestic cricket.

“I think we should not blame players, it is the system that has been failing time and again and as a result, Pakistan cricket is going down. Pakistan Cricket Board is only focusing on PSL rather they should take domestic cricket seriously. They have made Test cricket secondary. Their downfall started when they removed Sarfaraz Ahmed from captaincy, he was a perfect skipper. There has been a lot of politics going on in the Pakistan Cricket Board and as a result, the aura, and the ambience of the team have been pathetic”, Kaneria said in an interview.

Kaneria put light on the internal politics in PCB and slammed the board for their bad decision-making, specially pointing out the sacking of Shaheen Afridi. Afridi was named the T20 captain as Babar Azam stepped down, though he was also removed from captaincy after a single match.

“They told Shaheen that he is the biggest bowler and without him, it’s not possible for them to win matches. Talking about Shan Masood, as a player it’s difficult for him to get a place in the playing XI. He has not been consistent with the bat over the years and you made him the captain. They are not sure about the decision they are taking, they asked Shaheen to take up the captaincy and later removed him. The same happened with Babar Azam also. ( Ye apne baat pe khade nhi rehte, ek series haare toh captain change kr diya. Eise toh pure playing XI ko captain bana do). Shaan Masood needs to go back to domestic cricket, learn how to do captaincy and then come back to play for the national side”, Kaneria added.
