'Cosmetic surgery won't fix Pakistan' — Misbah

Misbah-ul-Haq stepped down from his PCB role and said cosmetic surgery won't fix Pakistan cricket. The former captain pointed to the board's habit of chopping and changing coaches — local ones especially — whenever results slip. Knee-jerk decisions under pressure never touch the real problems, he argued.

He held up India's patient, structured development as the example Pakistan should copy instead of cycling through more foreign hires. What is needed, he said, is a proper look at why the team keeps failing, not another round of replacements. The comments landed after Pakistan lost their fifth straight T20I to India in the Asia Cup.
