Why are you so sure that a senior player is only option to stablize the inning?

Its because of this **fear cultures **that the seniors have developed over last few years, they have successfully made their fans believe that chances of losing is bigger when they are NOT around …which is not 100% accurate.

But the result is that, that fear trickles down into the system so bad that we are not letting juniors (who play without any fear of defeat) get a chance to play in pressure cooker situations (on frequent basis) to get experience and improve as cricketers, because those seniors (mostly) fold under pressure situations and come out and say “See if we can fold under pressure with all or our experience in international cricket then how bad it would have been with juniors, so that why keep playing us and not them”.

Above is not super complicated to understand and thats what Aussies/SA/Eng cricket teams/management and their fans have successfully understood and not Pakistani team/management and fans.
