'Biggest Mistake’: Shoaib Akhtar Slams PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi On Live TV

Pakistan: Last night in the T20 World Cup, India defeated Pakistan by 61 runs at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Batting first, India scored 175/7, in which Ishan Kishan played an explosive inning of 77 runs. The entire Pakistan team was bowled out for 114. As soon as the match ended, Shoaib Akhtar got angry. While talking to a news channel, he fiercely attacked PCB and Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Why did Shoaib Akhtar get most angry at Mohsin Naqvi?

Akhtar first surrounded Mohsin Naqvi. He said, "Now the chairman is not even aware that he is the boss of PCB. How will the team run?" Then he made the most bitter comment—"The "biggest crime in the world is to give such a big responsibility to an incompetent and illiterate man. He will ruin the entire system." The meaning is clear, Akhtar is considering Naqvi's leadership as a complete failure.

What did Akhtar have to say about senior players?

Akhtar also lashed out heavily at the senior players. Big names like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Shadab Khan again proved to be flops against India. Akhtar said, "You made a man a superstar who is not able to win even a single big match. If you choose such stars, the same situation will happen." Despite repeated failures, he continues to get unlimited support, this is the thing that bothers Akhtar the most.

What consequences of inept leadership did Akhtar explain?

Akhtar also warned that when a clueless person gets a big position, only drama continues in the boardroom. The condition of the team worsens day by day. “The example is in front of you, you are wise, understand yourself,” he said.

Why has this result of India-Pak match become a big issue now?

Pakistan's defeat against India is not a new thing, but this defeat has become the last straw for fans and experts. The demand for accountability from PCB has intensified. Mohsin Naqvi himself left the stadium before the end of the match, which is adding to the controversy.

Overall, what Shoaib Akhtar said came from the bottom of his heart – now just stop the drama and focus on real cricket. Otherwise the condition of Pakistan cricket will worsen further. What do you think? Will PCB take some big steps now or will the same old drama continue?
