Following Pakistan's consolation win against Sri Lanka by just five runs, former Pakistani skipper Rashid Latif blasted Salman Ali Agha for poor captaincy and tactics. Latif shared that despite having every world-class bowler on the side, Agha can still make a team lose the game.
Pakistan cricket fans have been disgusted with the Salman Ali Agha-led team's performance, but are frustrated with their skipper. Latif gave them a belt treatment for poor captaincy. After this World Cup exit, Salman Agha might no longer continue as the captain of Pakistan.
After having witnessed Fakhar Zaman's innings, the Pakistan analysts and people associated with the game are infuriated with head coach Mike Hesson for not having him play on previous occasions. They also claimed that demoting him was an injustice to his playing standards and abilities.
The presenter, Tabish Hashmi, said on 'Harna Mana Hai,' "After having watched Fakhar Zaman in the top order today, watching him open, didn't you think that demoting this batter was an injustice to his standards?"
"Today, it seemed they were determined to win. The major changes were made because they felt the crunch to qualify for the semi-finals. A player whom you had dropped for three matches, and then played for two matches in the middle order, and when you backed him, he batted at a strike rate of 200.
"He took the entire game alongside him. Sahibzada Farhan, on the other hand, has been playing well throughout the tournament. These coaches are the reason for a team's downfall. We have never had a problem with players; the real problem is with those who make them play," Latif launches an unreal attack on Mike Hesson.
"Even if you give Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar... and Shane Warne to this captain, even then, he will lose the game"
The former Pakistan captain pointed out that Salman Ali Agha does not have the basics of a good captain, and the loss is due to irregularity and mismanagement of players, not due to the players not being able to perform. He pinned the entire blame on the captain and trolled him with some insulting remarks.
"We usually have problems while batting; bowling usually is not a concern for us. Today, all our specialists played and took us to a huge score of 200+ runs. 'Is Captain Ko Wasim Akram de de, Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis, Saqlain Mushtaq, Muralitharan aur Shane Warne de de, ye firs bhi aapko harwage de dega'," Rashid Latif remarked insultingly about Salman Ali Agha.
(Even if you give Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar, Waqar Younis, Saqlain Mushtaq, Muralitharan and Shane Warne to this captain, even then, he will lose the game.)
"What bowling didn't you have today? You had Shaheen, Abrar, Usman Tariq, and Shadab, who was brought to bowl first in the 16th over of play. Naseem also played today; only Saim Ayub was absent today," the former skipper pointed out the strength in the final picked XI for Pakistan against Sri Lanka.

"You needed wickets in the early overs," opined Rashid Latif
Latif also pointed out that though runs didn't come much after Pakistan's two openers were dismissed, the amount of runs that already were on the board was abundant to make it count, especially with that bowling lineup.
He said that it was due to Salman Ali Agha's failed captaincy that Pakistan lost the game. Abrar should have been introduced even before in the attack, and pacers could have been reserved for the back end.
"The captain should be planning strategically to make use of his resources. You needed to pick wickets at the start; however, they bowled 4 overs with pacers. You had to bring Abrar early; Naseem could have been kept as a backup. Abrar picked wickets in the 5th and 8th overs whenever he was asked to bowl," opined Latif.
