@Tony116 I believe that PCB is at fault here for not grooming players well and not helping them cultivate the winning mentality which effects them when they play in important matches. Furthermore if PCB can sort out their issue's then Pakistan can dominate all formats of cricket for a very long time, but in my personal opinion itll take few years before they can win matches/tournaments on the same level like Australia, England and team India do.

It is undoubtedly going to take time because Pakistan is not in a stable position from a political standpoint. And of course, the political situation of a country is far more complicated and consequential than cricket. Obviously, they should look to fix those problems first. A country gets recognized through cricket. But a country cannot even function properly without a stable political situation. And even with all those problems, I think Pakistan is doing quite well. But there is no doubt that they will have to do better if they want to compete at the top level.

This not only fits to Pakistan many other countries are also losing quality due to too much involvement of Franchise cricket which is all about power hitting instead of technique and skills just few countries are having level, but this is also far from which few have around 15 to 20 years back now it's all about money and time pass like Soccer players are doing in world in next few years things could be more the worst about the technique and quality of cricket because we have few big leagues are not attracting players in T10 league and The Hundred.

Pakistan's domestic setup is also not world-class even they have good funds and things to manage this but corruption which is the biggest issue in third world countries which preventing to have fair system and better things for bringing quality players in system whereas Australia and England are much stronger in this case.

Pakistan cricket board has lots of problems to deal with. And the fact that Pakistan could not host international cricket for a long time has been a big problem for them. Obviously when a country is not being able to host international cricket, and that has also been the case for so long, the parents of a lot of young kids who are interested in cricket are obviously more likely to say that cricket is not the right path to choose. At least not professionally. And that also causes a lot of problems.

Another thing that I am not very sure about but I have my doubts is that the Pakistan cricket board has a few corrupt individuals. They are also not helping the improvement of Pakistan cricket. And another thing is that as long as the selectors are not going to be unbiased, the national team is not going to improve.

Pakistan has produced a lot of world-class players. But I agree with you that the setup of Pakistan cricket is not very good, to be honest. And domestic setup is obviously not as it should be.

The country had a big break in hosting tournaments. The same keeps them down. They're are at the beginning of building new cricketing infrastructure within the country. As mentioned the domestic cricket is good, but not to the level of neighbouring countries. The Pakistan Super League is another setback, taking the revenue into consideration the importance might've moved towards it. Corruption is all around and there will be corrupt hands that truly destruct the progress.

It is true that when a country is away from international cricket for a long time then the common people do not have confidence in that country's cricket. Cricket infrastructure continues to crumble. But the situation in Pakistan cricket is slightly different. Even though they can't host any international matches in their own country, they try to cover it abroad. They have managed cricket in Abu Dhabi for almost a long time. All their franchise leagues are conducted at the same venue. They have tried to hold on to their cricket even through tough times. They have also suffered huge financial loss by conducting cricket in a foreign country. But overall they tried to improve from that position.
