Pakistan teams of the 1990's and early 2000's were much more talented ability wise. In batting there was Saeed Anwar as an opener and Aamir Sohail. In bowling they had the finest bowlers with outstanding pace and movement in the form of World Class bowlers like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar. In the middle order we had world class talent with batsmen such as Inzamam ul Haq, Javed Miandad, Salim Malik and Ijaz Ahmed. In spin department we had World Class spinners like Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq Ahmed. In wicket keepers we had some of the best wicket keepers like Rashid Latif and Moin Khan.
Whereas in the current team there is hardly any World Class player except for Babar Azam who is currently not in form. Saim Ayub is the only promising player in the current team but he too got injured and couldnt play the just recently concluded Champions Trophy. In bowling we have no reliable bowlers and all of them are being hit to all parts of the ground.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan cricket team's standard is declining and we can only live in Pakistan's past glory.
Justified!
