Pakistan Focused More On Hosting Champions Trophy Than Thinking About Building A Good Team: Danish Kaneria
Pakistan Cricket Board: Ahead of the blockbuster clash against India on Sunday, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has blamed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for emphasising too much on hosting the Champions Trophy rather than building a strong team for the tournament.
Pakistan suffered a bumpy start in their first ICC home tournament since 1996 as they lost to New Zealand by 60 runs in the opener in Karachi. The veteran bowler also lashed out at PCB for creating controversy on India's refusal to travel to Pakistan for the eight-team spectacle.
"Pakistan focused more on hosting the Champions Trophy than thinking about building a good team. They messed up big time. They don't focus on their cricket and create controversy on India not coming to Pakistan despite knowing that a hybrid model will be followed in the tournament. Recently, Pakistan failed to beat West Indies in the Test series. In the Tri-Nation Series, they lost too on home soil," Kaneria told IANS.
