Gary Kirsten Blames Pakistan's Lack Of Unity

Before the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan had appointed Gary Kirsten as their white-ball head coach. However, Kirsten, busy with the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2024, didn't get enough time to prepare the team. The team's captaincy was also in turmoil, with Shaheen Afridi taking over from Babar Azam, only for Babar to be reinstated shortly before the World Cup.

Gary Kirsten, the head coach of the Pakistan T20 cricket team, commented on Pakistan's disappointing exit from the T20 World Cup group stage. He attributed the team's struggles to a lack of unity and fitness issues. Kirsten criticized the team's lack of mutual support among players and noted alarming fitness problems.
