Pakistan head coach Gary Kirsten has said that only those players will be part of the team going forward who value unity, focus on fitness and improve their skill set.
According to sources, Kirsten, in a candid discussion with the Pakistan team in the dressing room after its exit from the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, said that the fitness level of the players is not up to the mark.
Kirsten added that the team is also far behind in terms of skill level as compared with the rest of the world.
Despite playing so much cricket, no one knows which shot to play and when, Kirsten further stated.
The former South African cricketer also said that, ever since he has joined, he has noticed that there is no unity in this team. Kirsten said that players don’t support each other and he hasn’t seen a situation like this before despite working with many teams.
Kirsten has clearly stated that the players who improves these aforementioned things will be in the team, otherwise they will be excluded.
