On Sunday, England defeated Pakistan by a margin of five wickets in the T20 World Cup 2022 championship game. Former Pakistani captain Javed Miandad questioned the inclusion of foreign coaches in the team during his post-game remarks. The addition of foreign mentors or coaches to the team, according to Miandad, who has previously coached the Pakistan cricket team, denies former players the chance to continue playing for their country.
Even further, he claimed that the management of the Pakistani squad has a mentality that makes the players’ futures uncertain and that similar problems have in the past been “fixed” as a result of them. “Apne logon ko dekhein, apne logon ne jo cricket kheli hai… Ye jo players khel rahe hain, ab ye aaj khel rahe hain. Inka future kya hai? Unko bhi pata hai ki aaj maine kuch nahi kiya, toh kal main kya karunga? Fixing iss vajah se hui thi, ke hamara koi pata nahi hai, ki kal kaat naa de humko,” said Javed Miandad on Cricket Pakistan.
Speaking of the T20 World Cup final, Ben Stokes led England to a 5-wicket victory over Pakistan with an unbeaten 52 off 49 balls. At the Melbourne Cricket Ground, England successfully chased down the 138-run target, negating Haris Rauf’s 2 for 23. As England held Pakistan to 137 for 8, Sam Curran returned with a spell of 3 for 12 and Adil Rashid picked up 2 for 22. Jos Buttler, the captain of England, decided to bowl first after winning the toss.
