Language Barriers Hinder Team Dynamics: Naseem Shah on Foreign Coaches

Naseem Shah's Concerns About Language Barriers with Foreign Coaches

Pakistan’s Disappointing Exit from the T20 World Cup

Pakistan’s performance in the recent T20 World Cup was underwhelming as they were eliminated in the league stage with only two wins. Despite winning their last two matches, losses to the USA and India in their first two games sealed their fate, preventing them from advancing to the Super 8 round.

This early exit was particularly disappointing given the high expectations surrounding the team after the appointment of Gary Kirsten as the head coach of the Pakistan White Ball team just weeks before the tournament. Kirsten, who had previously led India to victory in the 2011 World Cup, was anticipated to bring a similar level of success to Pakistan.
