Pakistan has a rich history of producing multiple world-class fast bowlers. Now, there is barely anyone who is dominating with pace and swing. Mumtaz observed that to favour the batters, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has stopped preparing pitches to groom the seamers in domestic cricket.
Reflecting on the reality, the former Pakistan cricketer stated that fast bowling is no longer the strength of the national side.
Pakistan cricket team under pressure against England in Leeds in Test match
Mumtaz revealed the ground reality of Pakistan cricket amid the Pakistan cricket team's tour of England. The Men in Green are currently in England for a three-match Test series. In the first innings of the ongoing Test match at Headingley Carnegie, Leeds, Pakistan lost all of their wickets for 171 runs. Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue, the pacer duo of the England National Cricket Team, got five wickets each to dismantle the Pakistan batting line-up.
Urooj Mumtaz blames Babar Azam for Pakistan's pace bowling downfall
The former women's team cricketer noted that during Babar's first stint as the national team captain, he used to demand flat, batting-friendly surfaces so that the batters could score runs swiftly. To keep the captain's wish, grasses plucked off the pitches to prepare a batters' paradise.
Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah were among the few fast bowlers who came with some hope to revive the glory days of the nation's pace bowling history. However, injuries did not allow the bowlers to grow according to expectations. And now, they are not bowling as fast as they could have been.
"After the injury, he fell off," Urooj Mumtaz said about Shaheen Afridi, and to describe Shah, she said, "Naseem Shah is nowhere to be found."
