KOLKATA: Despite the underwhelming performance of the Pakistani cricket team in the ongoing major tournament, coach Grant Bradburn dismissed reports that his players had gone unpaid for five months. He emphasized the team’s determination to revive their struggling World Cup campaign.
The Pakistani cricket team, known as the Men in Green, is teetering on the brink of an early exit from the 2023 World Cup. To keep even the slimmest hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive, they must secure a victory against Bangladesh on Tuesday.
Alongside their on-field struggles, Pakistan’s World Cup journey has been marred by disputes over player payments and delays in finalizing central contracts. On Monday, three members of the squad confirmed to AFP that they had not received their dues.
