In light of India’s recent success in generating players of high calibre, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has recommended that the PCB implement a domestic structure akin to that of the Indian cricket team. He pointed out that the governing body had previously attempted to improve Pakistani cricket by copying the systems of England, Australia, and New Zealand, but none of them had been successful. He suggested trying India’s structure next. The first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh ended in a 10-wicket loss, which has reignited criticism.
In addition to stressing the value of establishing a solid foundation, Basit Ali said that Pakistan is concentrating more on white-ball cricket than red-ball cricket, which is hindering their ability to become a successful Test cricket team.
Pakistan will host the Duleep Trophy next month, which is a red-ball competition. Following the Test series, there will be a one-day competition known as the Champions Cup. The systems of England, Australia, and New Zealand have been imitated by Pakistan. Since India is nearby, please also adopt their system. Copying also requires brains. Simply emulate India’s actions. It’s almost time for the Duleep Trophy. Is it a one-day or T20 competition? The event lasts for four days. He stated on YouTube, “They are so successful because they are committed to building their base.
In the Test series against Bangladesh, a number of former cricket players have accused the team management of selecting white-ball specialists. In light of this, the team has called up Abrar Ahmed and Kamran Ghulam, who were cut from the original roster, to play in the second Test, which is scheduled to take place in Rawalpindi from August 30 to September 3.

Pakistan was bundled for 146 runs on Day 5 of the Test, as skipper Shan Masood observed after the first Test. He had anticipated the pacers to have assistance from the pitch. The squad is anticipated to alter their lineup and add a couple spinners to enable them close off the series on equal footing in the second Test.
