The Pakistan cricket team might be at its all-time low. The problems in the entire country’s cricketing system go so deep that even greats of the game like Wasim Akram are struggling to identify and fix the core problem. However, the legendary pacer doesn’t think problems are just with the players or with the board. For him, two hands are required for a clap.
As Pakistan take on England in the third Test of the 3-match series at Edgbaston, Akram wouldn’t be surprised if the team goes on to lose this match too and complete the assignment with England securing a 3-0 sweep.
Pakistan are set to field multiple debutants as the team faces England in the third and final Test at Edgbaston, starting Wednesday.
Akram admitted that the mentality of certain players in the Pakistan team is adding to the problems. “Our batting is struggling, our bowling is below average and our fielding is worse. It’s not rocket science. “That dribbles down to the fans, too. They see the team lose and they want to rip it all up, too.
“But in Pakistan we have a saying: ‘You can only clap with two hands’,” he was quoted as saying by The Athletic . “I knew before the series we were going to lose 3-0 to England,” he said. We’ve done that so many times and now there is nothing really left,” he said.
