Former Pakistan captain Moin Khan thinks there are eight players in the current team who can be changed.
Afghanistan defeated Pakistan by eight wickets in the 22nd game of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in Chennai on October 23 and have been receiving criticism and suggestion since then from cricketers and analysts.
Without naming them, the 52-year-old said Pakistan will have to go in a rebuilding phase if they can't finish the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 on a high note.
"Players should know they can get dropped from here. If we don't win, eight players of the team could be changed," Moin said on a local sports channel.
"You will have to go to the rebuilding phase after the tournament," he added.
Meanwhile, Shoaib Malik opined Pakistan cricket can't go lower than this. "When someone is down, only two things are bound to happen, either they fall more or stand above. Pakistan have a great chance to show character and give their best."
The national team, with two wins and three defeats, will now play South Africa at the same venue on October 27.

With bowlers like Usama and Shadab and a timid captain in Babar, there are chances that this team will fall further to the bottom in this world.

Why are you angry, only a few advocates and sons-in-law and nephews have been sent to India to play cricket, so they will play cricket later too.
