Ravichandran Ashwin recently expressed his feelings about Pakistan’s cricket struggles. He said, “I truly feel bad about the current state of Pakistan Cricket. They’re going through a tough time.”
Pakistan’s cricket team has been facing difficulties, with back-to-back disappointing performances. After losing a Test series against Bangladesh at home, they’re now preparing to play against England.
These poor results have drawn criticism from many, with experts saying that changes are needed quickly. On the same day, Ashwin shared his thoughts on the situation, noting that Pakistan once had some of the best cricketers and that it’s sad to see the team in this position now.

Their whole musical chairs situation is truly something: Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin also spoke about the frequent changes in Pakistan’s cricket captaincy. He compared it to a game of musical chairs, where it feels like anyone can just take the role.
He said, “The whole captaincy situation is like musical chairs. The music keeps playing, and someone new just grabs the chair. They lost in the 2023 ODI World Cup, Babar stepped down, Afridi was made captain, then Babar came back for limited-overs, and Shan Masood was given the Test team. And despite all this, Pakistan hasn’t won a Test match at home for a long time, maybe around 3 years, about 1000 days.”
With Babar Azam stepping down again from the limited-overs captaincy and Pakistan struggling to win, they will now focus on the upcoming matches. Their Test series against England starts on October 7 in Multan.
