The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Board of Governors (BoG) meeting in Lahore on Wednesday took a dim view of Pakistan’s on-field travails and decided to carry out a “robust review” of the cricket team and its support staff’s performances across formats over the past three years.
Pakistan are placed ninth in the World Cup league standings at the moment, with three points from five matches. But they are mathematically still not out of the tournament. The public announcement of the team’s performance appraisal in the middle of the ICC event is believed to be a direct consequence of Pakistan’s virtual no-show against India at Old Trafford.
“The BoG had a discussion on the Pakistan cricket team’s recent performance across all formats. The members agreed the team’s performance in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019 to date has been below expectation, but expressed faith, support and confidence in the side, and hoped they will utilise all their talent and potential in the remaining matches to bounce back strongly and finish on a high,” a PCB release stated following the BoG meeting.
It added: “It was agreed, and as previously stated, following the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019, the PCB will carry-out a robust review and analysis of the side’s and the team support personnel’s performances in the past three years and submit their recommendations to the Chairman and the BoG for their consideration.”
