Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi has reportedly expressed strong disappointment following Pakistan’s heavy defeat against India in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup. The high-voltage clash, one of the most anticipated fixtures of the tournament, ended in a one-sided result, leaving fans and officials frustrated with the team’s performance.
Sources indicate that Naqvi conveyed a firm message to the squad, emphasizing accountability, discipline, and immediate improvement. He reportedly reminded players that representing the nation comes with responsibility and that inconsistent performances on the global stage are unacceptable. The loss, especially in a marquee contest against India, has intensified scrutiny over team selection, strategy, and preparation.
Cricket experts have pointed to weaknesses in both batting and bowling departments, highlighting poor shot selection, lack of partnerships, and ineffective execution under pressure. The defeat has also sparked debate among former players and analysts, many calling for structural reforms and stronger domestic systems to build resilience in high-stakes matches.
Despite the setback, Naqvi is believed to have encouraged the team to regroup and focus on upcoming fixtures, stressing that the tournament is not over. With qualification scenarios still open, Pakistan now faces a must-win situation in its remaining matches to keep semifinal hopes alive and restore confidence among supporters.
