This was the theme of Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s workforce discuss after the loss to Australia on the T20 World Cup semifinal.
“Everybody is feeling the pain. Where we made mistakes and where we should have done better, everybody is realising that through pain. Nobody will tell us this. We know. But we have to learn from this. We have become a unit and it must not be broken,” Babar advised his teammates.
The Pakistan Cricket Board shared the skipper’s dressing-room speech on their Twitter deal with and Babar was seen imploring his colleagues to not get into any blame sport.

“Nobody should point a finger towards the other, that somebody has done this, somebody has done that. We will learn from this and will not repeat our mistakes in the future. Am telling you, this bond must not break just for one defeat. This is the time to help each other,” Babar went on earlier than handing over the ground to batting guide Matthew Hayden.
“We put in every last bit of effort that we could. Left nothing on the field of play. And we should be all proud,” Hayden mentioned.
Pakistan cricket has had a historical past of dressing-room bickering. In reality, only a few Pakistan captains have managed to maintain workforce collectively off-field. Imran Khan was an exception below whom the workforce gelled and received the 1992 World Cup. Babar, who took the reins of Pakistan’s white-ball workforce solely about a few months in the past, has led by instance on the T20 World Cup, scoring 303 runs in six matches.

Meanwhile, quick bowler Hassan Ali, who didn’t have a very good sport with the ball and dropped Matthew Wade at a really essential second, was subjected to vile abuse on social media after the defeat.
