In a message on the social networking site Twitter, Naeem-ul-Haq wrote that “the continuous terrible performance of our team in Australia calls for a change of coach/chief selector“. The head coach and chief selector of the team has been appointed.
Terrible continuous performance by our team in Australia needs a change of the coach / chief selector. There is is not even a slight hope for a decent performance.

After the World Cup, Mickey Arthur was removed from the post of head coach and Inzamam-ul-Haq as the chief selector, after which these two important positions were given to Misbah. The first test of Misbah-ul-Haq‘s team was the home series against Sri Lanka. Pakistan won the ODI series by 0-2 while Pakistan lost 0-3 in the T20I series.
After this defeat, PCB removed Sarfaraz Ahmed from the captaincy of the national cricket team and gave the leadership of the Test team to Azhar Ali and T20 captaincy to Babar Azam, while the name of the ODI captain was not announced. Pakistan cricket team is on the most difficult tour of Australia these days where in the first test, Pakistan had to face a defeat by one innings and five runs. Now in the second and last test match of the series, Australia’s position is still strong. is

Interview with Naeemul Haq: Addressing Pakistan Cricket Team’s Performance in Australia
Host: Thank you for joining us today. We have Naeemul Haq, the Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan on Political Affairs. Naeem, you recently took to Twitter to criticize the Pakistan cricket team’s performance in Australia. What prompted your comments?
Naeemul Haq: Thank you for having me. As a passionate cricket fan and someone who deeply cares about our national pride, I feel it’s essential for our team to perform at their best, particularly on an international stage. The recent results were disappointing, and I believe our players should be held accountable. We have great talent in our country, and we must harness that potential effectively.
Host: You mentioned accountability. What specific changes do you think the cricket board should consider to improve the team’s performance?
Naeemul Haq: It’s crucial for the board to conduct a thorough review of both the administrative structure and coaching strategies. We need to put in place a system that focuses on skill development, mental toughness, and strategic thinking. Additionally, the selection process for players should be transparent and merit-based, ensuring we always field the strongest team possible.
Host: Some fans have pointed fingers at the coaching staff following the defeats. Do you think changes should be made at that level?
Naeemul Haq: Absolutely. If the coaching staff is not delivering results or fostering a winning mentality, then it’s time for a change. The players need to feel inspired and confident in their strategies. A coach should not just be a tactician but also a mentor who can motivate the players to give their all.
Host: Cricket holds a special place in the hearts of Pakistanis. What message do you have for the fans who are disheartened by the team’s recent performance?
Naeemul Haq: I understand the frustration of the fans. Their love for the game is unmatched, and they deserve a team that reflects that passion and dedication. I urge them to keep supporting our players through thick and thin. Constructive criticism is essential, but let’s also encourage our team to rise from this setback and work towards a brighter future.
Host: Thank you, Naeem, for sharing your insights. We hope to see improvements in the team soon!
Naeemul Haq: Thank you for having me. Let’s keep believing in our team’s potential!
That the best talent is given the opportunity to shine. Specifically, I believe it’s time for a change in coaching staff and the chief selector. Fresh perspectives can invigorate our team and bring about the necessary improvements.
Host: You mentioned the need for a change in both coaching staff and selectors. Can you elaborate on why you think this is necessary at this point in time?
Naeemul Haq: Absolutely. The current coaching and selection strategies haven’t yielded the results we expect. With the string of poor performances, particularly in Australia, it’s evident that a different approach is required. New leadership can inspire players and bring fresh tactics that could enhance our game on international platforms.
Host: Following the recent setbacks, the PCB made significant changes, including removing Sarfaraz Ahmed as captain. Do you think these changes were sufficient, or is more needed?
Naeemul Haq: Change is always a step in the right direction, but it must be accompanied by long-term strategy and vision. While changing the captaincy is important, we need to focus on building a cohesive team that understands not just the rules of the game, but also how to perform under pressure.
Host: As a high-ranking official in the government, what role do you believe the administration should play in cricket governance, especially in ensuring the performance and accountability of the cricket team?
Naeemul Haq: The government should act as a facilitator, providing the necessary resources and support while allowing the PCB to operate independently. However, keeping an eye on performance and promoting accountability is critical. We must ensure that our national team reflects our pride and determination as a nation. Investing in youth development, infrastructure, and proper management will yield long-term benefits.
Host: Thank you, Naeem, for sharing your insights. It’s clear that the future of Pakistan cricket is a matter of national importance. We hope to see improvements soon.
Naeemul Haq: Thank you for having me. I share that hope and am committed to seeing our cricket team rise to the occasion for our fans and for the country.
