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.
