ODI World Cup 2023: ICC rankings are skewed because we don’t get to play lot of the top nations, says Pakistan coach Grant Bradburn

The Hindu  

Coach Grant Bradburn wore a confused look on Monday when a scribe inquired how Pakistan went from being one of the favourites going into the ODI World Cup to somehow trying to keep its campaign from foundering at present. In terms of ICC rankings, we know they are skewed because we don’t get to play India and a lot of the top nations, which haven’t been to Pakistan of late,” Bradburn said during a media conference on the eve of his side’s match against Bangladesh. Bradburn, when asked whether the seven-wicket loss on October 14 dented his boys’ confidence, said, “Definitely no. The unusual experience of playing in front of 1,30,000 supporters of the opposition was good for our boys.” Meanwhile, if skipper Shakib Al Hasan is to be believed, Bangladesh, which is currently ninth among 10 teams on the World Cup standings, has already started preparing the roadmap for the upcoming Champions Trophy.
