Questions raised on Pakistan team
Questions are also being raised on the Pakistan ODI Cup. The Pakistan ODI Cup is being organized before the Test series against England. England is to tour Pakistan in October for a three-Test series and before the series, all the big players of Pakistan will play in the ODI Cup. In such a situation, the question is how will Pakistan's Test players practice for the ODIs. Recently, Pakistan had to face a 0-2 defeat against Bangladesh in its own home. Now if England also loses, then Pakistan cricket may be criticized more.
