LAHORE: Head coach Gary Kirsten has submitted a confidential report to PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, analysing the team’s shortcomings and outlining potential areas for improvement.

Pakistan’s performance in the recent T20 World Cup fell short of expectations. The team was defeated by debutants United States and arch-rivals India. Victories against Canada and Ireland proved insufficient to advance.

Sources suggest that Kirsten’s report highlights key areas that contributed to Pakistan’s struggles. Fitness Levels: Concerns have been raised regarding the overall fitness of the players. Discipline: Questions have been raised about the team’s discipline and focus. Game Awareness: The report reportedly points out a lack of strategic understanding among some players.
