    I think first our players need to understand their responsibility towards the nation. the shud take pride that they are playing for Pakistan, its a very honorable thing. Money will come itself after that.

    They earn so much, yet all they do is the nonsensical Tableeghi mantra on tours rather than play cricket. The remnants of the Inzamam ul Haq tableegi brigade generation really needs to be discarded forever because they have shown to be nothing but continuous disappointment in REAL cricket (Test & ODI). T20 is glorified ‘galee kirkit’.

    @ Ayaan
    Which Indians ruled the World? Can you please mention their name?

    As cricket, Indian team fails on big stage, Pakisan are current T20 World Champs and guess which team was sent home packing in the first round?

    Asalaamualakum my brothers & sisters there”s alot to say to pakistan cricket board. I been watchn cricket since i was a child, only the time i enjoyed watchn when Imran Khan bhai was playin for pakistan he was my legend to watch him how he handle difficult situation in the pitch, because he had huge talented how to handle under pressure. He wanted to play good cricket, he knew how impotent every game is to him. He was willing to play well in each game to proud his nation.Is not bou da game is bout the trust & stay together in team to achieve excellent goals what he wanted to be. All am saying the team isnt together, the day they are we can beat any team in the world.I felt bad heard news Mohammed Yousif &

    [...] players, especially ones starting a career, will earn a fraction of what their counterparts get. Figures published by the Pakistan Cricket Board suggest that category A players, under contract, will earn around £2,650 per test, £2,280 per one [...]

    Being a Pakistani I must support and favor my team. But its true that some time a single person can spoil the whole broth. Some of the guys have spoiled our dignity, this is against the expectation of us. winning or losing is the part of the game,but the thing we should focus is, the overall performance of the players.
    Come it may, we just hope and pray 4 the brighten ahead of our beloved team….
    Thanks
