Former Pakistan cricket team captain says players can only be trained for modern-day cricket from Under-16

Lahore: Former Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Khan Afridi on Monday emphasized the importance of the private sector in nurturing talent in the country.
Shahid Afridi stated that Pakistan requires the services of private sectors to enhance talent in sports and other fields.
He mentioned that players can only be trained for modern-day cricket from Under-16.
Afridi added that it is not right to make players compete ‘against each other’.
Earlier, Shahid Afridi openly criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), saying that team’s poor performance was only because of frequent changes in leadership and structure.
In an interview with a private news outlet, Afridi stressed the need for stability and advocated for a minimum of three years for any new system to show results.
“When you implement a new structure, it requires time to yield results. Constantly changing chairmen and systems every year is counterproductive,” said Afridi.
He urged that senior board members and experienced players should collaborate to create a comprehensive plan.
