New Delhi: Former test batsman and former head coach of Pakistan Haroon Rasheed Tuesday pointed out the sharp differences between India and Pakistan’s cricket structures, saying India is now enjoying the rewards of long-term planning, strong domestic cricket and a strong age-group system, while Pakistan is struggling due to inconsistency and instability.Speaking on Hamaraiweb.com, Haroon said that Pakistan’s recent performance reflects deeper issues within the country’s cricket structure. “The recent Test defeat to Bangladesh and our performance in white-ball cricket before that tells the whole story of our cricket,” he said.Haroon, who served the Pakistan Cricket Board in several roles including chief selector, coach of senior and junior teams and head of the cricket academy, said India’s system has produced a huge talent pool, especially in T20 cricket.“There is a lot of talent to choose from in India at the moment, especially in T20 cricket. This is because all their players are coming through the proper system from different age groups.”The former Pakistan batsman said that lack of stability, continuity and planning has seriously harmed Pakistan cricket over the years.Aaron said, “I don’t think changing the board chair so often has helped. I have served under at least six different chairmen in my time on the board and when a new chair comes, it means he brings his own people, policies and mentality.”Haroon also stressed the urgent need to reform Pakistan’s domestic infrastructure and warned that other countries were moving too fast.“There is a dire need to change the domestic structure left by competition between association and departmental cricket in Pakistan and come up with a new concept, otherwise we will be left behind. Even Bangladesh has now shown how they have improved.”He also questioned the frequent change of captaincy by the PCB and said that the constant reshuffle did not develop stability in the team.He questioned, “When you decide to appoint a captain in any format, it must be done with a lot of thought, so how can you keep changing the captain, how will the Pakistan team remain consistent and stable?”Haroon said Pakistan has historically performed better under captains who have been given long-term leadership roles and warned that the country risked falling further behind if young players were not properly groomed.“There are a lot of things that need to be fixed in Pakistan cricket. Otherwise we will be further left behind. Because we are not even grooming our young talents properly or giving them the right coaching and experience to prepare them for long-term international cricket.”
