He stated that continuous discussions about players must stop. Too much has already been said about their performances in the tournament. He advised moving forward rather than dwelling on past failures. The team needs encouragement to rebuild and prepare for future tournaments.
Pakistan, the defending champion, has officially exited the Champions Trophy. The team played three matches during the tournament but failed to perform well. Unfortunately, Pakistan lost the first two matches against strong opponents. The third match against Bangladesh could not happen.
Due to bad weather, the final group-stage match was abandoned. This resulted in Pakistan’s early exit from the competition. Fans expressed disappointment after the team’s unexpected elimination. Many experts suggested significant changes to improve team performance.
Wasim Akram, however, urged patience and long-term planning. He stressed the importance of strategic decisions for Pakistan’s future success. He stated that quick fixes won’t help, and he also asked to support PCB’s Future Decisions. Instead, the team requires a strong foundation and stability. He concluded that PCB must focus on long-term improvements.
