Pakistan’s nightmare—isn’t getting mysterious?

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Ejaz Butt has rejected the reports, which suggested that the main reason for their defeat in the second test was division within the Pakistan team.

After collapse of Pakistan batting order the conjectures about division within the team were raised and the former captain Inzamam-ul-Haq also gave his consent stating that he could sense that there was division within the team.

The former skipper Shoaib Malik, Misbah-ul-Haq, wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal and Salman Butt were among the players who disliked the strategies of skipper Younus.

However the PCB chairman termed these rumors baseless saying that their team player have failed to deliver, as they did not have played much cricket in the past two years, which led to their batting collapse.

Corroborating the statement of PCB chairman, Pakistan captain Younis Khan has said he needs more time to 'rebuild' the team, which has played "very little cricket over the last 18 months".

"Give this team some time, don't point fingers too early. It will be very easy for me too to blame particular players, even myself. But the reality is we haven't been playing any Test cricket. It's very easy for me to give up, to say I can't captain this team. But somebody will have to stand up and fix the situation.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketers have blamed poor team spirit for the team's defeat to Sri Lanka in the Colombo Test. Former leg-spinner and chief selector, Abdul Qadir said factionalism and poor team spirit were responsible for the team's meek surrender before an ordinary Sri Lankan bowling line-up. Younus doesn't have leadership qualities, said Nawaz. Inzamam-ul-Haq also blamed the captain for the team's poor show.

Could you resolve this mystery amid conflicting views of the authorities and those of the experts still pouring in?
