Re: Pakistan V Windies. H/L post#450
Imran’s been a prominent and most consistent critic of modern domestic cricket structure for a very long time. However, at the same time, him and Miandad do not shy away from praising or at least acknowledging the relatively superior quality domestic cricket they’d played and how important it was for them. I shouldn’t have used the word department cricket, what I really meant and what Imran vociferously advocates is strong regional teams and healthy and regular competition. There is no passion, no pride, no pleasure for young men playing behalf of PIA, Habib Bank, National Bank etc. The departmental cricket must be replaced by a properly structured, and concise domestic cricket that truly reflects national talent.
