Imran Khan lashes out at cricket board after back-to-back losses
Jailed former Prime Minister and ex-cricketer Imran Khan lashes out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after the team lost twice to India in the Asia Cup. He said Pakistan had little chance to win with the board running the way it is.
Khan mocked the management, saying the only way to beat India was if PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi and Army Chief General Asim Munir walked out as openers, with top judges and election chiefs as umpires. His sister Aleema Khan said he made the joke after she told him about the defeats.
The 1992 World Cup-winning captain blamed Naqvi for the fall of Pakistan cricket. He pointed to weak leadership and favouritism as the main reasons. He also claimed that General Munir meddled in the 2024 elections, affecting his party’s win.
His words show his anger at the state of Pakistan cricket and the wider political dispute.
