Danish Kaneria criticizes Pakistan cricket following series defeat to England

Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has criticized the national cricket system following a 0-2 Test series loss against England. After a 194-run defeat at Lord’s, the Pakistan Cricket Board removed head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul while releasing seven players from the squad. Kaneria argued that personnel changes fail to address deeper systemic issues, including coaching stability and the quality of domestic cricket. He cited the abandonment of departmental cricket as a primary cause for a decline in the national talent pool. Kaneria further questioned the reliance on Pakistan Super League performances over domestic first-class match experience for selection. He called for structural reform to restore competitive standards and accountability within the organization.
