Former Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim has lashed out at the national cricket team's outdated playing style following their disappointing performance in the recently concluded ICC Champions Trophy. As hosts, Pakistan finished last in Group A after a winless campaign, suffering heavy defeats to finalists New Zealand and eventual champions India. Their only point came from a washed-out match against Bangladesh, but they still finished below Bangladesh due to an inferior net run rate.
Imad, who retired from international cricket, expressed his frustration in a video clip shared by an X user, admitting that he often feels reluctant to watch Pakistan play. "So you got to play cricket. Cricket, like it should be played. This is not the right way for me, if you ask me as a cricketer — not even as a Pakistani, just as a cricketer. I watch some of the games the Pakistan team play, and I feel I just don't want to watch it, but I have to watch it. Eventually, people will lose interest, and they won't come to watch cricket if we keep playing like this," he said.
