KARACHI: Experts have opined that Pakistani batsmen have still been playing old-fashioned cricket and that domestic cricket needs to be streamlined to yield better results in future.

Speaking in Geo News special transmission on Sunday, former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar regretted, "Pakistan has shown such immaturity in run chase that we have raised our hands."

He said that scoring 300 runs in modern-day cricket was a common thing, but Pakistani batsmen were still playing conventional game.

Muhammad Yousuf criticised the decision to not induct Junaid Khan in playing 11, saying, "It was injustice with him". He added that Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur should be questioned about his "planning", which could not be witnessed during the match.

Former cricketer Sikandar Bakht said domestic cricket in the country needs to be streamlined to yield better results. He lamented that tournaments are held without planning.

Former Pakistan skipper Imran Khan said the he knew winning or losing was part of the game, but it was painful to see Pakistan lose against India without competing.

He said that it was necessary to restructure Pakistan cricket to come out of present situation. "As long as, our cricket structure is not streamlined, the vacuum between India and Pakistan will continue to increase.

Khan further said streamlining cricket was not possible without appointment of Pakistan Cricket Board chief on merit.

"We will continue to face disappointment resulting from defeats like today's," he added.
