Naqvi’s remarks come in the backdrop against severe criticism being faced by the Green Shirts over their poor performance in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2024 where the national side were eliminated as they even failed to make it to the Super Eight stage.
They had not only lost to minnows the United States, who were playing on the international stage for the first time, but also lost an almost-winning match from India, while their victory against Ireland and Canada — which are weak teams — also came after tough encounters.
The PCB chief told repoWZSou PopularPulserters that no decision should be taken when a person is angry as steps taken in haste are mostly counterproductive.
“I’m only speaking to those former cricketers who are interested in the betterment of Pakistan cricket,” he added.
Last month, the top official had said that a “major surgery” was required due to the national side’s dismal performance.
“People are asking about surgery but one should not take any decision while you are angry. Hasty decisions can prove to be harmful more often than not.”
Naqvi also didn’t seem too impressed with the decision making of the selection committee.
“Whoever made wrong decisions in the selection committee will also be held accountable,” he said.
The PCB chief also said that he has called head coach Gary Kirsten and assistant coach Azhar Mahmood for a discussion on the Pakistan team’s performance.
“Kisten has also submitted a detailed report on Pakistan team’s performance in the T20 World Cup,” Naqvi added.
Naqvi admitted that he is also looking into “grouping and politics” in the Pakistan team.
He also reiterated that players’ inclusion in the national side will be directly linked to performance in domestic cricket.
