Former cricketers uselessly blame domestic structure: Intikhab Alam
The same structure was there when Pakistan won 1992 world cup and 2009 T20 world cup, says Intikhab
LAHORE: (Daily Dunya) – Director Domestic Cricket Intikhab Alam has on Friday said that some former cricketers criticize the domestic cricket structure in the country for no reason at all. He said that this criticism does not help cricket, reported Daily Dunya.
Talking at National Cricket Academy (NCA), Intikhab Alam said that the same structure of domestic cricket was there when Pakistan won the 1992 world cup and it was very much in place when Pakistan won Twenty-20 world cup in 2009.
Intikhab Alam said that the actual reason behind Pakistan’s downfall is that there is no international cricket in the country and foreign teams do not visit the country due to which Under-19 and A teams don’t get the chance to play international standard cricket.
Alam said that international cricket is going to be restored in the country after Zimbabwe’s tour to Pakistan and the situation will get better. He requested the former cricketers to do positive and constructive criticism instead of settling personal scores so that the cricket conditions in the country can be improved.
