Sikander Bakht On Pakistan Poor performance

Former Pakistan player and bowler after the whitewash in the ODI series just crunched the team speaking to Geo Super channel his words were "Is really Rizwan a captaincy material who just chats all around and does nothing he was so horrible in batting, the fielding changes and the rotation in bowling was so awful and what you expect me to say. If we had a professional cricket board, you would not have been there. Let me talk about your captaincy. You made horrible bowling changes. Faheem Ashraf was bowling at 120kmph. It was not a slower delivery; it was his actual speed. You are the captain, you removed the slip in the third over. Is this professionalism? What captaincy are you doing?"

He further added  "It is high time the current crop of senior players stepped up and helped the side win big tournaments like the Asia Cup and the World Cup. He said all the players should be demoted to D grade in central contracts, and their status should be elevated when performances speak for themselves".
