Pakistan cricket hasn't been in the best shape of late. Following their poor performance in the ICC ODi World Cup and T20 World Cup, Pakistan also crashed out of the Champions Trophy 2025 without winning a single game.

Former PCB chief Ehsan Mani hits out at Shahid Afridi claiming the Ex-Pakistan star has his personal agenda.

In an interaction with the Hindustan Times he said, “I do not give any credibility to what Shahid Afridi or anyone else says. They have their personal agendas or whatever. So I wouldn't go there. No comment on that. All I would say is that leadership must come from the chairman and from the board of directors of PCB. For the rest, I don't give much credibility to these criticisms.”

Former PCB Chief Makes Startling Revelation

The PCB faced severe criticism after they decided to reduce the match fees for the National T20 Championship. After facing backlash, PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi reviewed it and hiked the match fees again. Underwhelming performance hasn't helped Pakistan's cause and Mani insisted Pakistan has adequate talents in cricket and just they need the right direction.

“Look, there's no shortage of talent in Pakistan. It's a matter of just going back and rethinking how to take Pakistan or cricket forward. I had started the process by introducing a new format for first-class cricket, and in fact, for all forms of cricket in Pakistan, based on provincial teams.”

The Men In Green will now take on New Zealand in a T20I Series starting from March 16.
