Kirsten submits ‘confidential’ report regarding Pakistan’s poor performance in T20 World Cup 2024

LAHORE: Pakistan team’s white-ball coach Gary Kirsten has submitted his report on the team’s poor performance during the recently-concluded T20 World Cup 2024.

According to sources, Kirsten has sent the confidential report to PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Naqvi is assessing the report shared by Kirsten, which details the reasons behind Pakistan team’s poor performance in the World Cup. Fitness, discipline and game awareness are some of the things which have been highlighted in the report, sources added.

After going through the report, Naqvi will also consult PCB officials and former cricketers before taking a decision on the way forward. 

Pakistan failed to qualify for Super 8 of the recently-concluded event after suffering defeats against India and the United States.

“The criticism 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,” wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan said while talking to media in Peshawar on Tuesday. 

Rizwan also said that Pakistan team were disappointed with their performance in the T20 World Cup.

“We are disappointed with our performance in 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,” he said.

It must be noted that India won the T20 World Cup 2024 by beating South Africa in the final by seven runs on Saturday in Barbados.

India joined England and the West Indies to win the T20 World Cup title two times as they won their first in 2007 by beating Pakistan in the final.

The next edition of the T20 World Cup will be held in 2026 in India and Sri Lanka.
