5 reasons for Pakistan's hasty exit from the ICC Champions Trophy

4. The Personnel

Pakistan continue to recycle the old legs of Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal, in spite of their poor showing in recent years. They have failed to contribute to their team in a consistent fashion and continue to rest on past laurels. Given the ouster of Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan, these three players need to give way to a new generation of cricketers who will take Pakistan to the next World Cup. Md. Hafeez looks like a good choice to lead the team through this transition, as he is likely to be a consistent fixture in this team by virtue of his all round abilities.
