Following Pakistan’s lukewarm performances within the lately concluded T20I collection towards New Zealand, consultants and sports activities critics say that the Green Shirts should undertake a forward-looking approach as a substitute of delving up to now, making an attempt to revive their misplaced glory.

PSL franchise Islamabad United’s Strategy Manager Hassan Cheema on Tuesday said that Pakistan’s T20 approach is like the relaunch of Nokia 3310, implying that the team still follow san outdated game strategy.

“About two years ago, Nokia relaunched its 3310 model, which heightened people’s nostalgia and it led to an increase in its sale,” he used the analogy while speaking to a private source. “However, in the era of iPhone 10 or Samsung [Galaxy] s20, you can only rely on nostalgia-based success to a certain extent.”

Cheema further said that Sarfaraz Ahmed’s scoring rate is not up to the requirement of modern one-day cricket.

“We are still stuck with the Nokia 3310 thinking and I am surprised over this because we both worked with cricket legends like Misbah-ul-Haq, Waqar Younus, and Mushtaq Ahmed who know such intricacies of the game that we cannot even learn in 50 years.”

He said that the team is making some basic blunders in T20 matches, for instance, making two anchors play in the top three.

“This is not even Nokia 3310 thinking, but a Nokia 1110 type of strategy which is even more backward,” Cheema said.
