Veteran all-rounder, Shoaib Malik, lashed out at the Pakistan team management after an embarrassing 19 runs defeat from Zimbabwe. Pakistan’s batting line-up completely crumbled in a relatively easy run chase of 120, bundling out for only 99 as Zimbabwe bounced back to level the three-match T20I series 1-1.

The 39-year old was less than impressed with the attitude of the Pakistan team management and the way they approached the game, he believes that the captain of the team and the chief selector should have full authority in selecting the team.

Malik, a former captain himself, also recommended the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to hire an international coach to improve Pakistan’s white-ball cricket and bring it in line with the modern standards of the game.

Malik, who is hopeful of making a comeback to the T20I national side, accused the team management of selecting players according to their own likes and dislikes, he said that these preferences for players have led Pakistan to such an embarrassing loss.

Malik took to Twitter to share his thoughts with his fans:

…when your management relies on likes & dislikes especially when your cricket is just in surviving mode, then what else do expect as a nation?
On top of that when you don't let your captain take decisions this is bound to happen… #Cricket #Pakistan
