With Pakistan cricket team suffering a group-stage exit from T20 World Cup 2024, the Men in Green seem to have already started taking steps for reviving themselves. However, in a video gone viral on social media, their fielding drills sparked plenty of jibes from the netizens, who called them amateurish.
In the video surfaced on social media, Pakistan players were seen taking diving catches, but they were doing so on the mattresses. Netizens sarcastically questioned them by asking whether they will get to carry them on the field during international matches.
Here's how the netizens trolled Pakistan's latest fielding drills:
"The criticism the team is facing is justified" - Mohammad Rizwan
Meanwhile, Pakistan keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan feels the national team thoroughly deserves criticism for their disappointing performance in the tournament. Rizwan also suggested that Pakistan struggled across departments in the tournament and said, as quoted by cricket.pakistan.pk:
"The criticism the team is facing is justified, and we deserve this since we didn’t perform in accordance with expectations. Players who can’t face criticism won’t be able to succeed. We are disappointed with our performance in the T20 World Cup. There are multiple reasons behind our losses. When a team loses, one can’t say that bowling and batting is doing well."
Pakistan will be next in action in August during the Test series against Bangladesh.
