KARACHI: The chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) – Ramiz Raja came out in defence of the national men’s cricket team and claimed that the side’s performance is not below par.
Following a 4-3 defeat in the historic T20I home series against England and a frustrating setback in the final of the Asia Cup 2022. The PCB chairman Ramiz defended the team’s performance in recent times and stated: “Pakistan team is not performing poorly.”
“Our team performed exceptionally well. They beat India and qualified for the Asia Cup final and our players won four major ICC awards this year.
“Whereas India, could not even make it to the final. Were they executed?” Ramiz questioned.
