Fazeer also expresses concerns over the increasing dominance of T20 leagues, which, he believes, are adversely affecting the growth of Test cricket. He highlights the lack of a comprehensive long-term development plan for Pakistan cricket, warning that it risks further decline. Reflecting on the downfall of West Indies cricket, he underscores the importance of stable administration in fostering player morale and enhancing performance.

Political influence disrupts the PCB’s growth and consistency, hindering cricket's long-term success.

Impact of leadership changes: Frequent leadership shifts at the PCB disrupt team stability, negatively impacting performance.

T20 leagues vs Test cricket: The growing focus on T20 leagues risks sidelining the future of Test cricket in Pakistan.
