Pakistan's earlier-than-expected elimination from the ongoing T20 World Cup has paved the way for different conspiracy theories in the local media. From groupism to rift withing the senion members of the team, the local media has presented several concepts to suggest the reason behind the team's disaster show in the Americas. While majority of the former players have entirely put the blame of the players, ex-captain Rashid Latif has time and time again highlighted the role PCB has played in the team's downfall.
Successive poor shows in the ODI World Cup 2023 and the 2024 T20 World Cup, has put a big question mark on the Babar Azam-led Pakistan.
This time around the reaction to the exit is stronger because Pakistan started the tournament with an unexpected loss against debutants USA.
Then they loss against India. The two losses proved to be Pakistan's nemesis as they were knocked out despite winning their last two encounters.
