Pakistan lost its third consecutive T20I series after winning 11 in a row. The most recent one came against Sri Lanka at home, Pakistan (not UAE). Sarfaraz Ahmed-led side faced back-to-back defeats against a second-string Sri Lanka team led by Dasun Shanaka.

The number 1 T20I side was bowled out inside 20 overs in the second T20I to lose the series and give Sri Lanka a lead of 2-0 in three-match series. 

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar discussed the defeat on his YouTube channel with Younis Khan. They questioned the decision to give Misbah-ul-Haq too much power. "Pakistan cricket will never improve by giving one person the entire power and responsibility. You can save money by appointing one person as Coach and selector, but the thing will only improve when the board will look for people who have an eye for the talent," Akhtar said.

He added how Indian cricketers like Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid are helping the board to find talented cricketers across the country.  Younis Khan took a dig at the Pakistan cricket's condition. He feels the team doesn't have good bench strength and mocked them with an empty chair.

"I feel sad that Indian fast bowlers keep calling us to take tips and seek advice but our Pakistani pacers don't ask. Nobody from the team has ever called me up to seek tips on how to increase your pace, arm-speed, run-up etc. Nobody is ready to ask," Akhtar said on his channel.

He further added, "Newcomers like Naseem Shah, Musa Khan and Haris Rauf... they can become the fastest bowlers in the world. I really wish they would come to me for advice. I want to make them tearaway fast bowlers so that they can make their own name in international cricket."
