Amidst all the hussle and fuss, former Pakistan cricket captain Rashid Latif’s tweet is going viral. Where Latif is seen sharing an image explaining how Pakistan players were invited by the local Pakistanis on May 7th. But since Pakistan lost the game against the host, the dinner gala got canceled.

One loss, many questions
As mentioned, the cricket fraternity in Pakistan has shown a strong reaction this time. On one hand, former skipper Younis Khan said, “What was most disappointing was the fact that there is a huge Pakistani community in the USA, which supports the team wholeheartedly.” Whereas former legendary Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram said, “It didn’t seem like Pakistan was playing against a team that has limited exposure against top teams.” He was also critical of the lack of effort on the field by some of the players.
What’s next for Pakistan?
With a game against India on June 9th. There is no question that, despite Pakistan’s previous performance against USA, India will not take the cornered tigers lightly. On the other hand, the team will try to make an impact in all the upcoming matches if Pakistan is really looking to secure a spot in the Super Eight.
