Pakistan Cricket Team: The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 proved to be an embarrassing and disappointing experience for the Pakistan cricket team. The team was eliminated from the Super-8 stage itself and could not make it to the semi-finals. After this poor performance, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is in action mode. PCB had recently imposed a fine on every player of the team. At the same time, now the first major change has come to the fore in the cricket board. A veteran has been removed from the selection committee.
Big change in Pakistan cricket
Former international umpire Aleem Dar, a key member of the selection committee of Pakistan cricket team, has resigned from his post. This resignation has come immediately after the team’s exit from the World Cup. Aleem Dar joined the selection committee in October 2024, which was a big step in his international umpiring career. However, he has taken this decision after Pakistan’s failure in the World Cup. At the same time, it is being claimed in some reports that he has been removed by the PCB.
After the resignation of Aleem Dar, now Aaqib Javed and Asad Shafiq are left in the selection. Data analyst Usman Hashmi is also a part of it, but he does not have voting rights. In such a situation, Pakistan Cricket Board can soon add a new member to the selection committee. It is also believed that more big decisions can be taken by the Pakistan Cricket Board, why the team’s performance is continuously declining, due to which it is facing a lot of criticism.
How was the performance of Pakistan team?
Pakistan had defeated Sri Lanka by just 5 runs in the last match of Super-8, but this victory could not save them from being out of the tournament. For the semi-finals, victory was required by a big margin, which could not be achieved. Earlier, the team had won against Netherlands in a thrilling last over in the group stage. There were also wins over Namibia and America, but there was a crushing defeat against India by 61 runs in Colombo. Then the cancellation of the match with New Zealand in the Super-8 due to rain and the defeat by England shattered the team’s hopes.
