Fans of Pakistani cricket will never forget their team’s victories in the 1992 ODI World Cup, the 2009 T20 World Cup, and the 10-wicket victory over India in the T20 World Cup 2021.

It appears that the “good old days” are long gone and only symbolic of what the Green Shirts once represented on the field.
After the national team’s disastrous run, which started with the Asia Cup 2023, they were eliminated from the ODI.
