Captain, coaches, management, selection committee or the board, everybody was under the influence of the historic feat longer than required,” eminent Pakistan daily Dawn quoted Latif as saying. Pakistan have lost eight of 13 Tests they played since CT win Pakistan have played 13 Tests since the historic win in the Champions Trophy final, winning only four and losing eight. Their last success came against Australia in a two-match series at home preceding the stunning loss to the Kiwis. Rashid Latif, who once had a healthy competition for a spot in the Pakistan national side with the more accomplished Moin Khan and has a Test hundred to his credit, took a dig at the selectors and team management saying they had not taken enough preparation for the Test series in South Africa and lost all the games, the second such instance after 2013. “Preparations were not up to the mark. In the first Test, Azhar Ali came to bat at number four, who never played at this slot. In the second innings of the second Test, Azhar was pulled back at number three while Fakhar Zaman batted at number six. This is the reflection of bad preparation and is indicative of the fact that Pakistan lacked middle-order batsmen on the challenging tour,” Latif said. He added that players like Usman Salahuddin and Saad Ali were being carried around for the last one year but not given proper chances and eventually dropped for the high-profile series against South Africa. The 50-year-old also questioned the decision of including Shan Masood in the ODI squad. Link to comment
