Pakistan Cricket Team Accused of Indiscipline and Lack of Focus

Pakistan's dismal performance at the ongoing T20 World Cup has sparked a storm of criticism, with former wicketkeeper Atiq-uz-Zaman alleging rampant indiscipline within the team.

Atiq, in a viral video, accused the team of excessive entourage and a lack of focus. He claimed that the traveling party included 17 officials and 17 players, with 60 rooms booked for their accommodation.

"You have gone there to play cricket or to holiday?" Atiq questioned.

He also criticized the presence of families accompanying players during the tournament. "Why do you allow families in big events? They go out in the evening and focus shifts from cricket," he said.

Atiq further alleged that players were not acting responsibly despite being well-paid by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). "Such a culture has been created in Pakistan cricket that nobody knows what is discipline," he said.

The former stumper's revelations have opened a can of worms, exposing the alleged groupism and administrative failures within the PCB. The team's early exit from the World Cup has led to scathing criticism and calls for accountability.

Pakistan, the 2009 T20 World Cup winners, finished third in Group A, behind India and USA. The top two teams from each group progressed to the 'Super 8s'.
