PCB chairman questions depth of Pakistan's talent pool

Mohsin Naqvi believes the upcoming Champions Cup will throw up more options for the selectors to turn to

PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has struck a bleak tone about the perceived absence of depth within the Pakistan set-up, saying there are no players in the feeder system to replace any underperforming members of the team. A day after Pakistan succumbed to their first-ever Test defeat against Bangladesh, Naqvi announced the mentors for the newly created Champions Cup, expressing confidence that the players it churns out would be capable of stepping up to the national side.

Naqvi, who was attributed as saying the Pakistan squad needed "major surgery" following their calamitous T20 World Cup campaign, now appears to feel the systemic strength that would enable such drastic measures doesn't exist. "The problem is the selection committee has no pool to turn to from which to select players," he said. "I spoke of surgery because we need to fix our problems. But when we look at how to resolve them, we don't have any solid data or player pool which we can draw from. The whole system was a mess. The Champions Cup will produce great talent, and we'll have records for the games that happen. For surgery, you need all the tools to perform it."
