Former all-rounder Yasir Arafat refused to hold back in his criticism of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), saying the organisation is “run by jokers”.
The PCB has seen plenty of changes over the past few years, with multiple chairmen having come and gone.
Additionally, many adjustments have been made in the national team regarding the captaincy and head coach.
With no consistency, the men in green have suffered and it has shown in their results as of late.
“PCB is a circus, run by jokers,” Arafat told PakPassion.
Pakistan recently faced Bangladesh in a two-Test series and ended up being beaten 2-0 even though both matches were played on home soil in Rawalpindi.
Many of the national players are now involved in the Champions One-Day Cup, which is a domestic 50-over competition being held in Faisalabad.
Pakistan’s next assignment will be a three-match Test series against England, which is scheduled to take place from October 7 to 28.
