Fakhar Zaman has emphasized the critical need for a stable domestic cricket structure in Pakistan, highlighting its vital role in cultivating a robust pool of players.
The 34-year-old cricketer believes that consistent tournaments held over several years will aid in unearthing new talent and strengthening the national team. “I think it will be beneficial if these tournaments take place regularly for 3-4 years. Then you’ll see how many backup players Pakistan will have,” Fakhar stated.
He pointed out that the frequent changes in the domestic setup have hampered the progress of many players. “It’s our bad luck that the domestic structure changes every year. This year it’s one structure, another year it’ll be different,” he noted.
Fakhar concluded by expressing the sentiment shared among players: “If the domestic structure stays stable for 5-6 years, whatever the structure is, it will benefit our cricketers.”
