Giving chances to young players is OK. But what happens to these youngsters in the long run? They are given a few matches, and then they get forgotten. The PCB doesn't have a system where young players are properly groomed. The team remains overdependent on senior players such as Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. Name one young player, who emerged during the last 2-3 years, and has a permanent spot in the playing XI. There are none.
The dilemma which is destroying Pakistan cricket at the moment is nepotism. Shaheen Shah Afridi is only in team because his father in law Shahid Afridi has great influence in PCB. Another flop all rounder that has made his way back in team is Shadab Khan, his father in law Saqlain Mushtaq has done the lobbing for his return to team without any improvement in his performance. Rizwan and Babar are dropped but they will be back soon. PCB is only interested in making a team by shuffling old players and that's why new players are not given enough chances to prove themselves.
The PCB is currently the most corrupt board among the ICC member teams. Due to the influence of the bosses in the PCB, young players are not getting opportunities in the national team and the national team is deteriorating instead of improving. My biggest question is why the PCB keeps giving opportunities to their old players while other teams try to promote young players? Pakistan's age-based teams are not bad at all, they dominate there, but no young player can break into the national team. They may not find any player below the age of 27 in their team. It would not be wrong to call the Pakistan cricket team a kind of old age home. There is no option but to abandon nepotism for the progress of the PCB and the Pakistan cricket team. They even have to keep the path of the national team open like big teams like India, Australia and New Zealand do.
