The Pakistan Cricket Board Is Using "AI Method" To Replace Underperforming Players

The Pakistan Cricket Board has revealed a novel AI-powered method for player selection.



Pakistan's cricket board has chosen a novel method of talent acquisition, seeing how its performance graph declines with each series that goes by. Chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Mohsin Naqvi, has disclosed that artificial intelligence is largely used in the process of choosing players from the nation's local pool. The PCB is the first board to publicly acknowledge using AI for player selection, despite the fact that its usage is becoming more and more common in the fields of information technology, e-commerce, and several other industries.

Naqvi addressed the media during a press conference regarding the men's national team's poor results, particularly in the wake of their most recent home loss to Bangladesh. Not much has changed since Naqvi's infamous statement for the necessity of surgery following Pakistan's early elimination from the T20 World Cup in 2024.


"The problem is the selection committee has no pool to turn to from which to select players," said the chairman of the PCB. "I mentioned surgery because we need to find solutions to our issues. However, we lack reliable data and a player pool to draw from when attempting to solve them. It was a disorganized system overall. Great talent will emerge from the Champions Cup, and game records will be available. You need every instrument needed to perform surgery."

"There were other players for whom we lacked records. The 150 players in the pool that will result from this Cup will strengthen domestic cricket, and the selection committee will handle any necessary surgery. "Do it all today, cut the throats of four to five players, and get rid of them," was the advice given. "You can't fire someone unless you can find someone better to take their place," Naqvi remarked.


According to Naqvi, 80% of the 150 players who will be chosen will be chosen only by artificial intelligence. It will only involve 20% human labor.

"Of the 150 participants that were chosen, 80% were chosen using artificial intelligence (AI), while 20% were chosen by humans. No one can dispute that. About 20% of the total weight went to our selection committee. You'll be the first to say anything is wrong if we swap out a player for someone worse. The chairman stated, "We'll have records and we'll all be able to see transparently who deserves a place in the team."

"After the Champions Cup concludes in September, everyone will have records. We'll replace anyone who isn't performing right away. It shouldn't be determined by the personal beliefs and preferences of any one person," he continued.

Ihsanullah's inaccurate elbow diagnosis is noted by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is furious over how board members have handled the injury of young fast bowler Ihsanullah. Ihsan, 21, made a big impression with his pace in the Pakistan Super League last year. He then took part in two ODIs at home against New Zealand and three T20 matches against Afghanistan in Sharjah. But after the series against New Zealand, he suffered an elbow injury that kept him out of action for the Asia Cup and World Cup. Unfortunately for the youngster, his recovery has not yet been complete due to a misdiagnosis of his condition and a botched operation in Lahore. A top physician on the board's medical panel made the first diagnosis, according to a Press Trust of India article. As a result, time was lost trying to heal the patient without surgery. Following a failed surgery at a private hospital in Lahore, medical professionals at his PSL team, Multan Sultan, determined he needed to see a specialist in the UK. The PCB has n...

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard  Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
