Time’s up for Pakistan’s 90s crew, says Rashid Latif
Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif wants the 90s cricketers out of Pakistan cricket's management. The ex-wicketkeeper pointed fingers at the old guard, blaming them for the team's struggles in ICC tournaments.
"It took 17 years [for Pakistan to win another World Cup] because the 90s players did not spare Pakistan cricket," Rashid said while speaking on a TV channel, urging a fresh start.

Latif believes keeping the 90s crew away from key roles could spark a turnaround.
"Keep 90s players away from management and the team, then they will try to win.
"They have been serving Pakistan cricket for so long now. So, I think, they should rest now," he said.
