- One of the most often discussed aspects of Pakistani cricket is the team’s famous unpredictability. We are aware that Pakistan has produced renowned, successful, and acclaimed cricketers over the years, having proved their mettle through admirable performances under challenging circumstances. Some of the names originating from the Pakistani cricket stable are the best in the business, past and present. True cricket connoisseurs, experts, and crazy fans would unequivocally vouch that Pakistani cricket teams have always been competitive, quality personified, and endowed with match-winning abilities, hands down. The joy of watching these extremely competitive performers is indescribable and can be experienced by those truly invested in sport.

- Having said this, the unpredictability factor associated with Pakistani cricket is notoriously famous and known all around the playing world. The moniker of unpredictability aptly sits on the team. If the fans witness the team achieve seemingly unachievable feats out of nowhere against any opposition one fine day, expect the extreme opposite right away, the very next day. An absolutely amazing performance or performances can immediately be followed by pathetic performances have been the bane of Pakistani cricket for long. Looking back, most hearteningly, Pakistani cricket has always produced great stalwarts who have mesmerised the cricketing world through sheer performances that have been no less than emulation-worthy.

- Unfortunately, owing to various factors like constant chopping/changes involving players, coaches, support staff, and the officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has had a telling effect on the overall performances of the team in recent times. Mind you, cricketers of the caliber of Imran Khan, Zaheer Abbas, Abdul Qadir, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Saeed Anwar, Saqlain Mushtaq, Shoaib Akhtar, Moin Khan, and a few more have not only played the game with supreme pride, showcasing their skills with such finesse for years, but also furthered the very cause of the sport with great adroitness. The replacements for such superstar performers have been anything but satisfactory, resulting in the mess the Pakistan cricket finds itself in of late.

- The way PCB has reacted recently to the poor performance of the visiting team in England, where it has already lost the series 2-0 with one more Test to be played, is shocking to say the least. How unpredictability defines Pakistan cricket, off the field in this instant case, has been further amplified by the wholesale changes made in the middle of the series, such as replacing seven players and the coaching staff. The whole cricketing world must be wondering as to what’s going on with the PCB mandarins. The PCB could have simply waited for the series to conclude before initiating drastic measures to overhaul the almost moribund system. The whole cricketing world is ridiculing the knee-jerk reaction of the PCB, making it a laughing stock. This is uncalled-for.
