The controversy over Pakistan cricket is currently emanating around the coaching crisis in Pakistan, which keeps on topping news outlets. Following a series of poor performances, fans and analysts are doubting the fact that the tactic employed by Mike Hesson may not be the best tactic to go with the limited-overs setup in Pakistan.
Some consider that the constant change of coaches will be detrimental to the long-term stability, but there is also an opinion that the fact that Pakistan has been selecting wrongly, and the team combinations were confusing, can be taken as evidence that the coaching crisis needs to be resolved immediately. The move to support bits-and-pieces all-rounders, unpredictable batting patterns, and dubious bowling patterns has frustrated the supporters.
Selection Gambles and Tactical Confusion
A lot of the coaching crisis is based on the selection of the team. The sacking of aggressive players in favour of conservative alternatives, poor use of bowlers in good environments, and trial and error over batting positions have contributed to the instability. Opponents claim that T20 in modern cricket requires clarity and roles, which Pakistan does not seem to have.
Nonetheless, the Hesson supporters claim that it is time-consuming to rebuild. The talent pool of Pakistan is not even, and no coach can turn around a failing system overnight. According to them, forbearance, institutional transformation, and support of a long-term outlook might still pay off preceding the significant ICC events.
The only question to be asked is: is it the coach or the greater systemic issues of the Pakistan Cricketing system that is causing the Coaching Crisis?
