Pakistan's humiliating defeat to the United States in the T20 World Cup has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. Former cricketer Kamran Akmal has lambasted the team, calling it the "biggest insult" in Pakistan cricket history.
Akmal slammed Pakistan's performance, stating that there could not be a greater humiliation than losing to a team ranked far below them. He praised the USA for their exceptional play, noting that they outplayed Pakistan in all aspects of the game.
"The USA played exceptionally well. They didn't feel like a low-ranked side. It felt like they were ranked above Pakistan. That is the level of maturity they showed," Akmal said.
Akmal also criticized Pakistan's team selection, claiming that it was based on personal preferences rather than merit. He pointed to the inclusion of players who had not performed well in recent series.
"Players are selected on liking and disliking. A player performed in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), but what about the past three series in which he wasn't able to perform?" Akmal questioned.
Pakistan's defeat has raised questions about the team's preparation and strategy. Former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja has also criticized the team selection process, calling it "unprofessional."
Pakistan will now face arch-rival India in a crucial match on Sunday. The match will be a test of Pakistan's character and resilience after their embarrassing defeat to the USA.
