Pakistan’s cricket team has been plagued by poor performance in recent years, with many attributing the decline to political interference and nepotism within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The appointment of political figures, like Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, to key positions in the PCB has been criticized, with experts claiming it has led to instability and a lack of focus on performance. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently imprisoned on corruption charges, has also accused the government of manipulating the sport for political gain.
