In the wake of Pakistan’s unexpected T20 series defeat against Bangladesh in Dhaka, head coach Mike Hesson delivered a strong and constructive message to the team.
In his statement, Hesson emphasized that if Pakistan wants to perform at the global level, it must immediately adopt consistency, a defined playing style, and modern cricketing tactics. He noted that the team currently ranks 8th in the ICC T20 rankings — a concerning position for a cricket-obsessed nation like Pakistan.
He appreciated the effort of the new players who stepped up during the series and praised the coaching staff and National Cricket Academy (NCA) for their collaborative work in improving player performance. He also highlighted the improvement in fielding, saying that the team now appears to be meeting international standards.
Playing on a low-scoring venue like Mirpur offered valuable learning experiences, particularly regarding strike rotation and batting on difficult pitches.
