PCB selecting unknown faces in the squad is not the problem. But not giving enough opportunities and dumping them after a single tour is the real issue here. There is no lack of talent in Pakistan. But the PCB has been notoriously incompetent in grooming this talent.

It goes without saying that the new players that the PCB has given a chance to are extremely talented, but the PCB could never have imagined that they would perform so incredibly poorly in the first T20 match of the New Zealand series. The new players who have been given the opportunity have mainly performed very well as native Pakistani players in the Pakistan Super League, which is why they have been given the opportunity so that they can perform well and create a balance in the team. However, I hope that Pakistan will definitely correct the mistakes of their first match and perform much better in the upcoming second T20I match.

Well, the Pakistan fans can only hope that their team may perform better in the next games. Yeah, one can make excuses that this was their first match on New Zealand soil and they were prepared for it. Another factor is that their morale is extremely down after they had a humiliating defeat in the ICC champions trophy. Yup, one can argue that the new players also were under pressure because they had the feeling that if they could not perform well, they wouldn't be given a 2nd chance. All in all, it is a very tricky situation for Pakistan cricket and they need to trust their playing XI even if they don't perform for sometime.
