New Delhi: Experience Pakistan The batsman Ahmad Shehzad He has openly criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after the recent poor performance of the team. He also made a stark comparison between the quality of players in IPL and PSL.“If you look at the IPL, they have a lot of superstars in their league who make the league competitive. Teams there invest for years, which builds strength,” Shehzad said on his YouTube channel.“On the other hand, PSL has hired retired players and commentators in the last 3-4 years and made them superstars; even retired players become faces of your brand, they get paid, but what have they actually created? I think that sums up what PSL has become.”

He described the current phase as one of the weakest he has seen and blamed both the players and management for the decline.

You gave them the captaincy in the PSL, right? You made them the thumb of the Pakistan team. You handed over the whole team to them.” Pakistan Cricket Team To these 6 boys and their agents. And what have they done now? The fires they have lit in the forest, the fun and parties they have had, the pockets they have filled, the enjoyment they have enjoyed… they have not brought any victory to Pakistan by doing so,” he added.
‘PCB is looking weak, players are not accountable’
Shahzad also criticized the players for not taking responsibility and said that the board looks helpless in front of them. He said, ‘It is audacity (of the players) that even today they are not ready to admit that we are responsible, not a single player among them, even today they play the blame game, even today their ego is such that it is not broken. Pakistan Cricket Board is so weak now.He concluded by criticizing the workings of the PCB, “Whenever you talk about a player, those stories start spinning. I have never seen a Pakistan Cricket Board as weak as this PCB in my life. They have power, right? But in their decision-making, they seem to kneel before their players. This PCB can do anything, what they were doing, what they could do. They didn’t, they did a new trick after every incident.” Trying to pull it off, but the public has now caught on to their pattern.“
