The ideal T20 team today looks like Pakistan's 2007 and 2009 World Cup sides

They were ahead of the curve over a decade ago, but haven't quite followed that blueprint since

02-Nov-2022•Hassan Cheema

What has gone wrong for Pakistan in T20Is over the last two years?

They were once the all-conquering side in the shortest format, but are now struggling to keep pace with its evolution on multiple fronts

What has gone wrong for Pakistan cricket this century? A story in 16 graphs

They have reached No. 1 Test and T20I sides in the last four years and won the Champions Trophy, but they still lack consistency and depth of talent

Pakistan playing Scotland? That's no surprise

Throughout its history, Pakistan has regularly supported up and coming nations, often playing key roles in their journey to becoming strong cricketing countries

13-Jun-2018•Hassan Cheema

Pakistan cricket will sorely miss their United Bank Limited team

They picked and promoted young talent and challenged the established teams, but all that will only be history soon

01-Jun-2018•Hassan Cheema

Has Pakistan domestic cricket got better? Kind of, but not really

The Dukes balls are helping, but the scheduling is not. And the pitches? Only the PCB knows what's going on with them

08-Nov-2017•Hassan Cheema

Why the QeA draft is a bad idea

Not for the first time has the PCB tried to shake up domestic cricket in the country, but now, they may well have hurt the chances of young players desperate to break into the first-class tournament

Misbah's wilderness years

An account of the time the Pakistan captain spent out of the team on account of being considered too old

13-May-2017•Hassan Cheema

In the mountains, old-school Pakistan lives on

The FATA team has come far in its short time on the domestic scene, and they've done it playing a brand of cricket Pakistan seems to have forgotten about

05-May-2017•Hassan Cheema

Blame domestic cricket for Pakistan's losses

The pitches don't encourage the development of world-class talent, so what can the captain, or anyone else, do?

08-Jan-2017•Hassan Cheema

Why Pakistan wanted to be Australia

For decades, the team from down under was held up as an example of everything Pakistan cricket needed to aspire to being. Things are a little different now

10-Dec-2016•Hassan Cheema

Is Pakistan's streak about to end?

They've gone seven series without a loss for only the third time in their history, but this just might be as far as it goes this time

23-Nov-2016•Hassan Cheema

The myth of Pakistan's weak pace attack

Sure the fast bowling unit picked for the New Zealand tour is second-string, but it has delivered more often than not

10-Nov-2016•Hassan Cheema

Why Pakistan cricket is stagnating

Looking at their "home" record brings to light a number of reasons why their one-day game, particularly, is leagues behind that of other teams

10-Oct-2016•Hassan Cheema

The Younification of Team Misbah

This Pakistan team's ability to prove people wrong time and again is remarkable. So also the shaping influence of two elder statesmen

17-Aug-2016•Hassan Cheema

The truth about Younis and Yasir

Or, the Pakistani way of judging talent and contributions

28-Jul-2016•Hassan Cheema

Will the real Pakistan please stand up?

The world watches to see whether they will validate their current form as one of the world's top teams or return in tatters, having become tabloid fodder

13-Jul-2016•Hassan Cheema

How important is the England tour for Pakistan?

It just might be their most significant series in years - not that you could tell by the way they've gone about preparing for it

18-Jun-2016•Hassan Cheema

Pakistan's soft coup

That the PCB is implementing some of former coach Waqar Younis' recommendations is good news. But will the optimism last?

31-May-2016•Hassan Cheema

Why aren't Pakistan's captaincy candidates getting the grooming they need?

Yet again, like with so much else, the PCB has missed a trick
