Unstable atmosphere in the dressing room
Babar Azam left the captaincy of the team after the ODI World Cup 2023. Then he was made the captain before the T20 World Cup. Now he has once again left the captaincy. These defeats have disappointed Pakistani fans and there have also been reports of internal strife in the dressing room. Indian team's veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin believes that frequent changes in captaincy have created confusion in the team and players are focusing more on their individual games rather than the success of the team.
What did Ashwin say?
In a video, Ashwin said, 'I am telling the truth that I feel sad to see the current situation of Pakistan cricket and the phase they are going through. Many dangerous cricketers have played for Pakistan and it was a very good team. If you look at it from a cricketer's perspective, it is a proud cricketing country. Where is his skill lacking? They have such skilled players.”
Ashwin further said, 'Sometimes, his whole musical chairs situation is really worth watching. The song keeps playing and all they think about is grabbing a chair. In the 2023 World Cup, they lost and then Babar resigned. Then Afridi was made the captain but Babar was made the captain again. Shan Masood was made the test captain. Now look at the situation, Pakistan has not won a single test match at home. It's probably been about 1000 days.
Ashwin said that due to uncertainty in the Pakistan cricket team, players focus on their individual rather than the team. He said- What will I think as a cricketer? Should I focus on my game or the team? Every cricketer will be so unstable inside the dressing room that he will start thinking about himself and less about the team.
