Reacting to the reports of comments by the head coach, former Pakistan president Arif Alvi had a rather unique take but all with good intention.

“For us in Pakistan there is an easy solution to this serious allegation. This is an attack on the solidarity & integrity of Pakistan. We have information from credible sources (cipher) that cannot be revealed that he is working under the direct influence of foreign interests against our ideology. The patron of the PCB has ordered immediate action that includes registration of FIRs in all the cricket playing centers of Pakistan and his name is put on the ECL,” Alvi wrote on social medial platform X with tongue in cheek.

“For Gary! Dont worry the above is just a pun. Do your best to salvage our beleaguered cricket team,” he added.

There’s been a furore in Pakistan cricket over the team’s below par performance. Earlier in the year, there were several changes made to the team structure and management after Pakistan failed to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final.

The last few months have been nothing short of a drama in Pakistan cricket where Babar Azam was first stripped of captaincy before being given back in white-ball format ahead of the T20 World Cup.

This musical chairs of sorts for captaincy between Babar, ace pacer Shaheen Afridi and wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan has left coach Kirsten furious.

Reacting to his team’s early exit after loss against USA and India in the league stage, Babar said after last league stage match against Ireland: “I think we have not been able to play well as a team. We have to settle down and accept that we didn’t play well as a team.”
