Imran posted tweets, pointing out flaws and highlighting the need to overhaul Pakistan’s domestic structure, which drew ire of scores of people who hit back at Kaptaan and reminded of the destruction caused by rains in the KP.
Since 80s I have been saying Pakistan’s domestic cricket structure is deeply flawed & needs to be overhauled. 1/3

2/3 Now Pak cricket has hit rock bottom & PCB Chief & ex ICC chief Mani also pointing out that domestic cricket structure needs overhauling.

In another tweet, Imran Khan held Prime Minister Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif responsible for the mess in Pakistan Cricket Board.
3/3 NS must also bear responsibility for PCB mess. He apptd a journalist with no cricket credentials to head PCB as reward for rigging help
