The reality

This is for those cricket enthusiasts who still think that Team Pakistan can show some miracle in Australia and New Zealand like it did in the 1992 ICC World Cup. In 1992, Team Pakistan had legends like Javed Miandad, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Aaqib Javed, Moin Khan and Inzamam-Ul-Haq, etc.

This is for those cricket enthusiasts who still think that Team Pakistan can show some miracle in Australia and New Zealand like it did in the 1992 ICC World Cup. In 1992, Team Pakistan had legends like Javed Miandad, Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Aaqib Javed, Moin Khan and Inzamam-Ul-Haq, etc. They only had to play like a team to defeat their opponents.
However, the current members of Team Pakistan are nothing special. Younis Khan is there because he is a senior player and like senior citizens one has to respect senior players till, out of their own sweet will, they decide to retire. The other legend is Shahid Khan Afridi who has been playing cricket for almost 20 years because he had once scored the fastest century in ODIs. And yes, Moin Khan was found guilty of visiting a casino so he has been called back. The PCB is beating around the bush. After all, one does not understand the relevance of Moin Khan’s casino visit to the poor performance of our team.
