Former Pakistan cricket legends have reacted strongly to the national team’s early exit from the Champions Trophy. Saqlain Mushtaq has challenged India to a bilateral series across formats, emphasizing that the lack of regular matches between the two countries has affected Pakistan’s performance. He proposed a series of at least 10 Tests, ODIs, and T20 internationals to truly test the strengths of both teams. Inzamam ul Haq blamed the success of Indian cricket on the IPL, urging other boards to refrain from sending players to the league. Wasim Akram expressed his willingness to help the team in a non-coaching capacity, citing concerns about the treatment of former players. Mohsin Khan emphasized the importance of giving local coaches time and respect to improve the team’s performance. Waqar Younis stressed the need for the PCB to allow support staff and coaches to complete their tenures without interference. The reactions from these former players reflect a mix of disappointment and frustration with the current state of Pakistani cricket.
