Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja was scathing in his assessment of the recent losses of the Pakistan Under-19 team suffered at the hands of Afghanistan and India in the ongoing Under-19 Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

The cricketer-turned-commentator took to Twitter to criticise the performance of the team and called for a complete revamp of the Under-19 cricket structure.

“Got beaten badly by Afghanistan and now India in the Under-19 Asia Cup. Is someone paying attention! A massive talent scout activity has to begin from the scratch. Revamp the entire damn thing. Under-19 was once our great supply line but it is been embarrassingly poor the last few years,” Ramiz tweeted.

The tweet comes in the backdrop of Pakistan Under-19 teams’ miserable performance in the ongoing Under-19 Asia Cup where the side has lost two consecutive matches against Afghanistan and India respectively.
