Pakistan's products of toxic dysfunctionality deserve sympathy, not ire

This is a disgraceful way to treat players and coaches who spend their entire lives pursuing the honour of representing Pakistan. This is how they are treated in return.

Well, the whole system needs a reboot. However, this lot who has been playing for the last 5 years sees less honour and more money when it comes to representing Pakistan. Not only have țheir performances have been abysmal, but their body language and attitudes in interviews and press conferences... Zero remorse or disappointment.... Only cheap retorts with smirks and gum chewing.
