PCB chief Naqvi expresses the Pakistan team’s lack of “tools for surgery.”

Naqvi said that the senior men’s selection committee does not have a pool of players from which to choose to replace the underperforming players during his Monday interaction with the media here at Gaddafi Stadium. This suggests that the team’s surgery has been postponed.

“The issue lies in the lack of a player bank for our selection committee to choose from.”

If we had discussed the procedure before, it was always with the intention of making up for what went wrong.

“However, to say that we have a list of 10–25 players to replace, say, four players, would be inaccurate given the lack of players and data that we have.”

Following that, Mohsin Naqvi asserted that Pakistan Cricket would be able to discover and develop fresh talent thanks to the upcoming Champions Cup and that the selection committee would have a large enough player pool to alter the lineup following the conclusion of the domestic competition.

In addition to having the record, we will have a crop of Champions Cup talent and be able to perform all necessary tasks. An adequate toolkit is a prerequisite for performing the surgery.

After the Champions Cup is over and the record is upheld, we should have a player pool of about 150. The choice would then be made with ease on who needed surgery and who needed to be replaced by whom.

Regarding the current Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh, Mohsin Naqvi also offered his commentary. He made it clear that although the choice to hold the second Test in Karachi had been made before he became involved, he later changed his mind because of the ongoing renovations at the venue.
