List of setbacks for Pakistan Cricket during ODI World Cup 2023

During the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, Pakistan Cricket has been in absolute chaos. Since the pre-tournament, the team and the board have been dealing with a lot. Also, the 1992 winners’ performance during the tournament didn’t help their cause. They lost five out of nine games during the tournament, their worst performance during an ODI World Cup. Meanwhile, in this listicle, we will discuss the four chaos happened so far.

Four chaos that have surrounded Pakistan Cricket

1. Inzamam Ul Haq resigns as Pakistan chief selector

The former Pakistan skipper became a chief selector for the second time in August this year. Before this, he did the job from 2016 to 2019. Meanwhile, during the ongoing tournament, the 1992 winner got tangled in a Conflict of Interest alongside Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Afridi. As there were a lot of rumors going on, he decided to step down from the post.   

2. Pakistan knocked out in the group stage of WC23

The last time the Asian side played a semifinal was during the 2011 event. Since then, they have yet to play a semifinal of an ODI World Cup. In the ongoing tournament, the team started with two wins and went on to lose four games. Even though they won two more games, they needed a lot of results to go their way. In the end, things didn’t go their way.   

3. Morne Morkel resigns as Pakistan bowling coach

After the league stage, the former South Africa pacer has decided to step down as the bowling coach. Notably, the team failed with the ball in most of the games. For ex – getting hit for 401 against New Zealand. This was the first time the team got hit for this many runs. 

4. PCB fired the entire selection committee

Now that the team has returned, the first action taken by the PCB is too fire the entire selection committee. Notably, the same thing happened in the Indian cricket after the T20 World Cup 2022 semifinal exit.
