The former England captain reviews the World Cup with Saj and chats about his experiences in India, thoughts on the length of ODI games, Australia's brilliant bounce back, India’s spectacular performances and why England had a shocker of a World Cup.

Renowned Cricket journalist Mirza Iqbal Baig speaks with Saj for PakPassion about whether Babar Azam was pushed to resign as skipper or did he walk away himself, the powerful lobby which has been out to get Babar Azam, Zaka Ashraf's continued struggles to manage PCB's affairs in an orderly way, how Mickey Arthur and Grant Bradburn were given the cold shoulder by Zaka Ashraf at their meeting in Lahore, PCB in turmoil after controversy after controversy, how political interference is damaging Pakistan cricket and why he feels that Babar Azam should not be solely blamed for Pakistan's World Cup performance and the PCB has to take their fair share of responsibility also.

There were lofty hopes for Pakistan entering the 2023 World Cup. Many pundits and enthusiasts had pegged them as potential semi-finalists. However, Pakistan crashed out during the group stages and perpetuated its record of failing to secure a semi-final berth more than once this century in an ODI Wolrd Cup. What went wrong?

A lacklustre bowling display and a familiar batting collapse lead Pakistan to end their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign on a disappointing note with a 93-run loss against England in Kolkatta.

PakPassion member Junaids puts in an impassioned plea for an even playing field when it comes to pitches in ODIs, failing which he feels the 50-over format will die a painful death.

Saj in his latest video comment on the Pakistan v New Zealand game which has seen Babar Azam's men get a new lease of life at the ICC World Cup 2023:

In summary:

Was it right to play 4 pacers? Mohammad Wasim jr blossoming and improving with each match. Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson's brilliance. Incredible hitting by Fakhar Zaman and what he gives the Pakistan team. Should Fakhar Zaman have played earlier in the tournament if they could risk him? Pakistan controlled the run-chase when it came to DLS. The unpredictability of Pakistan cricket. Can Pakistan qualify for the semi-finals?
