Salman Butt Slams PCB: “The current management lacks vision for future planning”
“There isn’t a scarcity of talent or resources. But, all of a sudden, we’ve become abysmal at planning, strategy, and vision. And I’m not referring to preparing for a match; rather, I’m referring to how we plan our future years. What is our strategy for getting to the World Cup(s)? This will continue to occur as we play 6-9 ODIs per year as opposed to 50 T20Is in the same time period “Butt explained.
After being put in to bat, Australia posted a total of 313 for seven thanks to Travis Head’s 72-ball 101 and cameos from Ben McDermott (52) and Cameron Green (40 not out).
Haris Rauf and Zahid Mahmood both took two wickets for Pakistan.
In response, Pakistan recovered from Fakhar Zaman’s early dismissal, as skipper Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq added 96 runs for the second wicket.
Imam scored a brilliant 103, and Babar added a fifty.
Pakistan, on the other hand, failed to capitalise and were eventually bowled out for 225.
Adam Zampa was the standout bowler for Australia, taking four wickets.
Pakistan will look to reclaim the series when the two teams meet in the second one-day international on Thursday.
