The Pakistan cricket team has been disciplined by the International Cricket Council (ICC) after they again did not meet the over rate in their match against New Zealand. This is after Mohammad Rizwan and his team had already been issued a warning for the same misconduct in an earlier game, but they did not address the issue, prompting tougher penalties from the governing body.
Repeated Violations Cost Pakistan Heavily
Pakistan’s failure to deliver their overs within the allotted time has been a regular issue. In their recent game against New Zealand, the team was guilty of a slow over rate once again, leading the ICC to impose fines and possibly even more sanctions. Such repeated offenses have not only impacted the team’s overall performance but also put them in the limelight for not being able to adjust to the ICC’s stringent rules.
ICC Issues Stern Warning
The ICC has indicated that it will not accept repeated slow over rates by any team. Pakistan’s persistent violations have resulted in further sanctions, and it has been indicated that future violations may result in tougher action, even suspension of major players. ICC representatives have appealed to teams to abide by the timings rules, since slow over rates compromise the pace of the game and affect the overall television viewing experience.
What’s Next for Pakistan?
Pakistan will now have to reevaluate their game plan and make sure they finish their overs within time in upcoming games. Experts say that the shortage of urgency in the field and wastage of time on mid-over talks has led to this problem. The team management should discuss the issue internally before their next match so that such an outcome does not affect them in the future.
Criticism by Cricket Experts
A number of ex-cricketers and experts have condemned Pakistan for their habitual mistakes, adding that such gaffes on the international front indicate a lack of discipline. Most have observed that this has been a longstanding problem with the team and that the coaching team has to take the blame for making sure the players comply with ICC rules.
With ICC clamping down on slow over rates, Pakistan is in a precarious position after receiving several warnings. If they don’t shape up, they might be penalized even more harshly in the future matches. With important games coming up, Rizwan and his men need to act fast to fix this problem and not give themselves unnecessary problems in their tournament run.
