Wahab Riaz attributes Pakistan's T20 World Cup exit to lack of coordination, team spirit

The Pakistan Cricket Team's disappointing performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup was attributed to a lack of coordination and team spirit, as detailed in a report by Senior Manager Wahab Riaz to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

This revelation came as part of an assessment submitted to the PCB, according to a local media report.

The report, which was addressed to PCB Director Usman Wahla and included insights from team manager Mansoor Rana, highlighted several factors behind the team’s early exit from the tournament.

Riaz's analysis pointed out that critical deficiencies in both strategy and execution were evident on the field.

"Team Pakistan did not exhibit the necessary level of skilled cricket expected at such a prestigious event," Wahab noted.

He emphasized that the players' lack of coordination severely hampered their ability to effectively implement game plans.

Wahab's report offered several recommendations to enhance Pakistan’s future cricketing prospects. These included organizing extensive training camps, encouraging greater participation in domestic cricket, focusing on player fitness, and arranging more international tours to help players adapt to different playing conditions. The PCB is currently reviewing Wahab's report.
