LAHORE: Pakistan’s white-ball coach Gary Kirsten has submitted his report to the the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on the Green Shirts’ poor performance and early exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, sources told Geo News on Wednesday.
The report, the sources added, has been sent to PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi who will review the document highlighting players’ fitness, discipline and game awareness among other things that led to the team’s early exit from the mega event.The development comes as the Green Shirts failed to even make it to the Super Eight stage of the World Cup after suffering an upset loss against the minnows United States followed by a defeat against arch-rivals India.
The Babar Azam-led side only managed to win matches against Canada and Ireland which were insufficient to propel the team to the next stage of the tournament.
The below-par performance by the national side resulted in scathing criticism from fans and former cricketers alike prompting the PCB chief to announce a “major surgery” in the squad.
