On Saturday, October 14, in Ahmedabad, during the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, Pakistan was humiliated by India by a score of 7 wickets. Since this is their second loss to their neighbors in two months, Babar Azam‘s team has drawn harsh criticism from both fans and analysts, including previous Pakistan captains.
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Moin Khan brought up an intriguing argument when talking and analyzing the team’s most recent defeat against India. The 52-year-old believed that a language barrier between the Pakistani players and the support staff might cause a communication breakdown in the system.
Mickey Arthur, Andrew Puttick, and Morne Morkel, a South African trio, serve as the team’s director, batting coach, and bowling coach, respectively. The previous world champions’ head coach is New Zealander Grant Bradburn.
The majority of the coaching staff speaks English, which is why I believe there is a communication gap. Between the athletes, the coaching staff, and the trainers, I believe there is a significant communication gap. The team’s declining performances are also influenced by fitness levels, Moin told A Sports.
