Srinagar: Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has said that people back home are waiting to see the Pakistan team suffering defeat.
Haris Rauf made these comments after Pakistan suffered another defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the T20I.
During the after match press conefrence Rauf said that it is quite common in Pakistan to criticise their players and even went to claim that many people are waiting to see them lose just so that they can criticise their performances.
“It is now a common thing in Pakistan to criticise players. These are young players who have been given an opportunity. If you look at the rest of the teams, the youngsters are given full freedom,” Rauf said at the post-match press conference.
“They are given 10-15 games. When you first enter international cricket, you struggle. That goes without saying. It is now common in Pakistan. People are waiting to see us lose,” Rauf added.
New Zealand chased target of 136 for the loss of 5 wickets with 11 balls to spare in Dunedin to take control of the five-match series after Pakistan posted 135-9 off 15 overs in a rain-reduced second match.
