Dhoni and Co had never beaten Pakistan at the venue before. “Pakistan ranks seventh in the T20 format. So the country should not pin much hope on the team,” Khan told a British news agency.

He pointed out that the team failed to grasp wickets against India. The former Pakistan diplomat also came down heavily on Pakistan’s decision to include speedster Mohammad Sami in the squad.
“If three fast bowlers could not help the team win, a fourth would not make things better. There should have been a spinner in the team,” he said.

Khan openly criticised team captain Shahid Afridi. “His future is evident. After the World Twenty20 ends, we will begin looking for another captain.”
And about coach Waqar Younis he said, “His contract ends in June. We will rethink our decision over him.”
From former cricketers to PCB and then the infamous Qandeel Baloch 'strip dance', Afridi and his side are going through terrible times.
