The loss against Bangladesh in the Test series at home has put Pakistan cricket in tatters. The team has drawn severe flak from different experts and fans present in that part of the country. What worsens the defeat are the reports of an apparent rift among the team members. PCB however has rubbished the claims. While the bigger assertion that is prevalent following Pakistan's 0-2 loss against Bangladesh is that the team is not playing according to its merit. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has weighed in on the plight of the Pakistan team and simply put it as the result of a "dearth of talent in the country."

Sourav Ganguly Throws Hard-Hitting Reality On The Face of PCB

With Pakistan hitting a new low with a Test series loss to Bangladesh , Ganguly feels there is a "genuine dearth of talent" in the country and they are far from the glory days when players like Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, formed the backbone of the team.

"I see a genuine dearth of talent in the country. Every time we think of Pakistan , we remember Miandad, Wasim, Waqar, Saeed Anwar, Mohammad Yousuf, and Younis Khan.

"That's the memory of Pakistan for us, but that doesn’t win matches in the modern generation of cricket. Every generation has to produce outstanding players to win, and when I look at Pakistan in world cricket -- I saw them in the West Indies World Cup, in India during the World Cup, and now after the Bangladesh series loss -- there is a dearth of talent in that country.

"The people connected with the sport in Pakistan will have to look into it. I'm not saying this with disrespect. Pakistan of the old had some great cricketers, which I don't see in this squad," Ganguly said at a promotional event.
