Hello indfam family,

Back here after sometime,

How are you guys doing ?

Well ,Pakistan Cricket Board has announced the both home and away series schedule for the Men in Green's 2024-25 season. The PAK team recently suffered an embarrassing exit from the T20 World Cup 2024 as they failed to even qualify for the Super 8 stage after defeats against arch-rivals India and the United States.

However, they would try to bounce back from this and have a better season up ahead. They will have four home series and three away tours. They are set to have a total of 30 confirmed matches during this season.

Pakistan cricket team will be playing 7 Test matches in the home 2024-25 season. The real highlight for their home season would be the tri-series that they will be hosting against South Africa and New Zealand. This will be the first tri-series for Pakistan in 21 years and will take place in February just before the Champion's Trophy 2025.

They last hosted a tri-series back in 2004 against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, where the Lankan Lions came out victorious after beating Men in Green in the Finals. Pakistan will be playing Test matches against Bangladesh, England, and West Indies at home during this season. Then they will also be touring Australia and Zimbabwe for three ODIs and T20Is each. Then a 3 T20I, 3 ODI, and 2 Test series against South Africa in this season.

I don't think anything will improve for Pakistan until they do selection on merit.Grouping and Political influence is one of the major reasons why Pakistan is in trouble.Azam khan is prime example of this . He has a no fitness and players like this are seen rare  in cricket as he has no fitness .In cricket , being Fit is a basic requirement but he still playx and his performance in the recent world cup was drastic

Next a big problem is the middle order situation and we have don't good middle orders till yet. When openers wicket fall down ,its always a problem for Pakistan and their are in pressure and slow the net run rate to even 4 or 3 in that even put smooth pressure.We do not have a good finisher like iftekhar Ahmed who badly flopped against India .

Nothing will improve till Pakistan do some good changes like replacing the players and giving the deserving once a  chance. Pakistan needs to put more and more concentration on the batting order as I believe tha, Pakistan bowling is one of the best in the world and they do not need any kind of improvement in this.

When they lose , they always are in problem with their batting and that's why,they flop.

Practice is a good thing but unless you do I change in your team which is causing a problem, nothing will change
