The former players criticised team selection as well as the on-field strategy. Several players also made Pakistan Cricket Board Ramiz Raja their target. Captain Babar Azam, Head Coach Saqlain Mushtaq, and selector Muhammad Wasim were also targeted for the team’s poor performance.
Former speedster Shoaib Akhtar went on to say that the team selection as well as the performance was average and that the team had to work hard even against Zimbabwe.
Here are several noteworthy tweets from former Pakistan players –
Agar Zimbabwe hai toh khud he ho jaaye ga sab kuch?
Nahi, khud nahi hota, kerna parta hai.— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) October 27, 2022

Former skipper Salman Butt retweeted a post from West Indies’ Darren Sammy.
Waking up this morning still stunned at the manner in which @ZimCricketv defended these runs against @TheRealPCB that was pure Will power by Zimbabwe, they played like a Star Team last night. (Not a team of stars) And deserved to win ????????????????????????
