The Pakistan Cricket Team is in tatters. The hosts of the ICC Champions Trophy have been knocked out of the tournament in just 6 days. The Men in Green suffered two back-to-back losses to New Zealand and Pakistan to bow out of the competition. Former Pakistan Women’s Team captain Sana Mir claims that even the great MS Dhoni could help this team.
Sana Mir claimed that the team selection for Pakistan has been wrong. And that is where the side lost the plot. She claimed that the team was not suited as per the conditions and thus not even MS Dhoni or Younis Khan could have done anything with the squad.
The former Pakistan Women’s Cricket Team captain Sana Mir claimed the team selection has not been proper. And this is the reason the team has been eliminated form the tournament. “I got a message from a friend when we were watching the match [against India]. When the second wicket fell at 100, my friend said, ‘I think it’s over.’ I told my friend, ‘No, it was over when we announced the squad.’ We had lost more than half of the tournament the day we picked these 15 players,” he told PTV Sports.
“You could make MS Dhoni or Younis Khan the captain — none of them could do anything with this team. It’s not suited to our conditions. Like Hafeez bhai said, one match was bound to be in Dubai. So how did we go in with just two part-time spinners? Abrar is still new to ODIs, and he has taken only two wickets in the last five months,” she added.

Pakistan suffered an injury concern after the first game when Fakhar Zaman was ruled out of the tournament. Imam-ul-Haq joined the side as his replacement. Mir further went on to question the omission of Mohammad Haris from the squad.
“We talk about intent, and that boy plays with intent. But you drop him after he fails in West Indies matches. What incentive does he have to play freely when selection is based on averages?” she concluded.
