The mindset of Pakistani cricketers has become defensive, suffering immensely from the absence of great captains like Imran Khan or Wasim Akram. This is the time for Pakistan to reevaluate itself and its team. We need to groom, hard hitting though responsible players, unlike Umar Akmal who seems to have lost his teem-spirit completely. The authorities must pay heed to the beloved sport if they want to see Pakistan standing tall in the near future.HASSAM AHMED, Karachi, September 4.
