Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram believes that Pakistan should not make wholesale changes to their squad despite their poor performance in the 2023 Cricket World Cup.
Akram told a local sports channel that he believes Pakistan have the best players available and that they should stick with them. He also said that he does not think Pakistan have a Plan B if they make major changes to the squad.
Akram's comments come amid calls for a major overhaul of Pakistan cricket after their disappointing World Cup campaign. Pakistan are on the verge of elimination from the tournament and need to win their last group match against England by a very heavy margin to qualify for the semi-finals.
However, Akram believes that making wholesale changes to the squad is not the answer. He said that Pakistan have the best players available and that they should stick with them. He also said that he does not think Pakistan have a Plan B if they make major changes to the squad.
Akram's comments are likely to be controversial, but they are also likely to resonate with many Pakistani fans. Pakistan have a long history of making wholesale changes to their squad after disappointing performances, but this has rarely been successful. It is time for Pakistan to stick with their best players and give them the time and support they need to succeed.
