Pakistan Cricket Team was recently thrown out of the T20 World Cup 2024 after losses against the USA and India in the group stage. This hurt their coach, Gary Kirsten, and he came out to say that there is no unity in the current Pakistan Cricket Team. However, a few years back, it was not like that for the subcontinent team.
