Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief Najam Sethi has admitted that a number of National Team's senior players are unfit for modern cricket.

In an interview to British media outlet, Sethi expressed his concern that some of the veteran players in the team no longer have the required reflexes needed for modern cricket. He admitted that the team tends to struggle in ODI cricket. “Now our focus is on the 2019 World Cup and we are getting ready for it.”

Speaking about Pakistan’s horrible One Day International (ODI) defeat against New Zealand, Sethi said it would take some time for the youngsters in the side to become 'stars'. “The PSL has prepared us for T20s. Now we have to prepare for ODIs and Tests.”

He assured that cricket in Pakistan would receive a huge boost due to the new talent being discovered at school and club-level cricket and in PSL.

The chairman also expressed his hopes that after improving security situation in the country and successfully-hosting T20 matches in Lahore, the time is not far when Pakistan is able to host complete ODI and Test series.

“If we prepare our stadiums, we will be able to host matches with time. I believe international cricket will be fully restored in Pakistan within two years, at most,” he said. Sethi spoke about the successful tours of World XI, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe to Pakistan and said, “West Indies will be touring in March.”
