Pakistan cricketers demonstrating below-par performance in World Cup tournaments are facing severe criticism these days. On social media, both fans and former players are expressing their dissatisfaction with the team. 

Players are deeply saddened by this situation and are concerned about the behavior of former stars associated with the board and players who play with them. 

One player anonymously mentioned that seniors decided to discuss this with the PCB during the Central Contract negotiations, and we demand that former players who work for the board and current players should not be allowed to appear on TV as experts. They criticize their own players so much that it angers the fans even more.

Another player, especially mentioning Ahmed Shehzad, said that until he was hopeful of returning to the national team, he was cautious when talking, as soon as he realized that a comeback was not possible now, he started criticizing the players more than necessary. He further said that Mohammad Hafeez who worked as a team director and is now talking against his own team in the foreign media, which is inappropriate. 

On the other hand, according to PCB sources, a policy will be prepared soon regarding whether to allow current and such players associated with the board to work on TV in the future.
