Coach Grant Bradburn wore a confused look on Monday when a scribe inquired how Pakistan went from being one of the favourites going into the ODI World Cup to somehow trying to keep its campaign from foundering at present.
“I’m not sure where you get ‘favourites’ from. There are 150 cricketers who are the best on the planet. In terms of ICC rankings, we know they are skewed because we don’t get to play India and a lot of the top nations, which haven’t been to Pakistan of late,” Bradburn said during a media conference on the eve of his side’s match against Bangladesh.
Pakistan, which started the tournament with back-to-back wins against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka, lost all four subsequent games, starting with the fixture against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
