The Science of Cricket

After the victory of Pakistani team in 2020 World Cup, it was as if usual against all likelihood. People did not expect that we will reach the finals. However, we did make it to the finals and shocked the nation. We won against Sri Lanka's team. People back at home were really glad that after such a long time, we won the match. There were people who danced and enjoyed and exploded fireworks and crackles to the spirit of patriotism.
A tour to Sri Lanka was next on the agenda, which gave a chance to the team of Pakistan to prove their mettle once again. However, instead of being confident and positive back at home, they lost 2 chances to win in the first two test matches. As a result, the smile on their faces as well as their fans vanished.
The older ones came out with the daggers and started twisting them in the teams back. In all fairness Pakistan did claw back to lose the test series 3-2 but with this loss the polish of the 20 20 certainly faded away and our team is left exposed once more as a unit both fragmented and in total disarray. Besides this, it has been reported that bookies were noticed in the hotel room of the Pakistani team. This was investigated by the ICC, which cleared the team of Pakistan. Therefore, let me make it clear before anyone raises a banner that it is done and cleared. Though our team requires a complete examination, but I feel that the following factors should be considered .
Rivalry in Cricket. It seems that the team of Pakistan is suffering from this disease for longer time and requires a strong captain, who can rule with iron hand and do away with disgrace and jealousies. According to me, Yunis Khan is not strong enough a character, for it is obvious that there are some problems between him and other older players. This has ultimately led to in-fighting in the team after he came back in the team.
We have two options: We can either remove the present captain and replace him with a leader who can handle the team properly or give him an opportunity to remove threats from within.
