Pakistan lost all three Test matches in England, with their performance drawing heavy criticism from several former cricketers. Karthik, who worked as a commentator and analyst during the Test series, has raised serious questions over the team’s selection, captaincy, and coaching setup. Earlier, Salman Ali Agha responds to Pakistan snub with amazing first-class double century.
The pitches in England were challenging and offered help to the bowlers, but Karthik felt they were still good enough for a Test team to survive and compete for long periods. Well, Pakistan showed some fight in the third and final Test, but Karthik feels that this improvement could not hide their bigger problems. He even called the current Pakistan team a “very ordinary” side.
He added, “I think what they're doing is a disservice to Test cricket, like what Nasser Hussain said. I quite agree with him because they made 7 changes [in the squad after the second Test] and made changes to the support staff [sacked Test head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul after going down 2-0 in the series]. In the last match, they competed.”

Dinesh Karthik sounds alarm on Pakistan’s Test crisis
Karthik feels Pakistan are currently nowhere near their best level in Tests. He also feels the situation is worrying because Pakistan has a strong history and rich tradition in Test cricket. He also believes that the situation has now become serious and it will not be easy for them to make a strong comeback.
The former Indian cricketer added, “They have a rich heritage, like you say, in Test cricket, but they are nowhere close [at present]. And having been part of it, I must say, it looks alarming, and I hope the right people are taking notice of that and doing what's required to bring them back up to speed, which, at this point in time, doesn't look easy.”
