– 'Herculean' efforts –
Earlier, few days back, former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja said on Tuesday that Pakistan need herculean efforts to get out of the doldrums following the series disappointment against Bangladesh in the red-ball format.
At the outset of his video, Raja felicitated Bangladesh for thumping Pakistan 2-0 on the latter's shores. "I would like to say that Bangladesh were brilliant in all the departments and miles ahead of Pakistan.".
Taking a dig at the Pakistan national cricket team, Raja said: "By the way, I would like to thank Pakistan for the record defeat. I don't know how Pakistan cricket will uplift again. In the current situation, only a miracle can help, as England are about to touchdown Pakistan to play a three-match Test series. Pakistan cannot bear any other disaster."
"Many of the Pakistan fans are angry with the team, and talks are being held in the depressing context," he added.
