How "Winning" at all Cost, Led to the Dark Ages of Cricket in Pakistan | Ramiz Raja Pt 2 | Cricket

In the previous chapter, Pakistan's cricket team faced a major setback in the World Test Championship against Australia.
The Pakistani team's attempts to neutralize their home pitches had backfired, leading to a historic victory for Australia and cornering King Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). In an effort to regain support, Ramiz blamed the media for misquoting him regarding plans to adopt the auction model for the Pakistan Super League (PSL). However, his attempts to divert attention were futile as the Imran Khan government collapsed, leaving Ramiz without any political backing.
Furthermore Ramiz's proposal for a quadrangular tournament was rejected by the International Cricket Council (ICC), further diminishing his standing.
In desperation - He released a self-centered video on his KZbin channel, blaming fans for their reaction to the pitch controversy.
However With the new government being busy in stabilizing the government
It was decided at the king was to be left alone for now
Him having to prove his worth the the new management
& hence he launched a controversial initiative, an IPL-style league for kids,
A move that would neglect any development of proper cricket techniques.
receiving backlash from all corners, including players and media.
Additionally, Ramiz's mishandling of expenses and his extravagant spending further damaged his reputation. The media exposed his expenses, which led to public scrutiny and demands for an explanation.
As the pressure intensified, the king tried to distance himself from Imran khan
While trying to cozy up with the new pm
Shahbaz sharif
However, the new government refused to support him, leaving Ramiz isolated. Players would soon rebel
against the PCB's new contracts and compensation policies, resulting in Ramiz having to comply with their demands.
While Ramiz's pet project, the Pakistan Junior League (PJL), started facing numerous hurdles, including lack of interest from foreign players and low bids from team owners.
The PCB had to fund the league themselves, causing significant financial losses.
And in order to curb the turmoil, Ramiz resorted to diverting attention by criticizing India and their cricket team.
However, his strategy backfired when the BCCI announced that India would not travel to Pakistan for the Asia Cup, causing an uproar in Pakistan. Ramiz tried to control the damage by claiming he never interfered with team selection and emphasizing the importance of making the captain strong. Despite his attempts, Pakistan's cricket team suffered losses, and Ramiz disappeared from the spotlight.
With each failure, Ramiz's position as chairman of the PCB grew more precarious, as he faced mounting criticism and a loss of support from players, media, and fans. The chapter ends with Ramiz's reputation in tatters, his future uncertain, and the fate of Pakistani cricket hanging in the balance.
The Asia cup 2023 was handled with a hybridmodel
with India going for neutral venues.
and now as things intenisify as pakistan responds with not wanting to come for world cup
first demanding a change a venue and now a neutral venue for world cup 2023 to be held in India.
things seems to beheating up again in India pak cricket politics

As a Asian I salute Pakistani Cricketers a lot. They are the SLEEPING GIANT OF CRICKET WORLD. Running in fast bowlers, Technically corect to hard hitting batting line ups, But what ever do not spoil the younger generation. Actually Pakistan is the reason behind Great Sachins successfull long carrier. 17 year old lad playing days with plasters on his face, not a joke. The moral starts there to Sachin. Imran, Wasim, Waqar, kadir means the best of all time in many ways as bowlers. Let that country comes back to normal SAP. Poverty is the worst form of cirme. - MAHATHMA GANDHI.

With all the issues in the PCB and the conditions the PAK players play in, they have actually managed to beat some world class teams. And the achievement of reaching the Asia cup finals is no small feat, especially after thumping a cash rich team like India. All in all, Pakistan have a great squad, but lousy management.

Same can be said about India. How their 'winning at all costs' mentality in home tests (by preparing big turners at home) have backfired. Pujara, Rahane and Kohli have all averaged between 25-30 in the last 3 years and India hasn't groomed their replacements. With Ashwin and Jadeja doing double duty as batters and bowlers have worked at home but not in SENA (after Sep 2021). Plus, their batters not getting enough runs at home (on these big turners) has also affected their rhythm in SENA somewhat (not completely as Pujara never scored consistently in Eng, NZ, SA; Rahane never was consistent in Ind, Eng & NZ).
