ODI World Cup: Legendary fast-bowler Wasim Akram blamed the faults in the Pakistan cricket system for the side’s dismal performance in the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup and added that captain Babar Azam shouldn’t be made scapegoat for the poor showing in India.

Pakistan, the 1992 World Cup champion, failed to make it to the semifinals of the 2023 edition of the event in India, finishing their campaign with a 93-run loss to England at the Eden Gardens, their fifth defeat in nine league games.

Criticism increased of Azam, who didn’t have a memorable time with the bat and came under fire for his leadership, as Pakistan finished in fifth spot in the ODI World Cup for the second successive time.
