Pakistan’s Perception Is Not Good: PCB CEO Faisal Hasnain

Hasnain recently organized a press conference along with PCB chairman Ramiz Raja. During the conference, he said that other cricket-playing countries have a negative perception of Pakistan.

“Pakistan’s perception is not good. I can be very honest about it; I’ve worked in the ICC and with Zimbabwe cricket, so I know the discussions which take place in the corridors about Pakistan cricket. Pakistan’s perception and reputation is a problem. This is something which is, unfortunately, impacting Pakistan, not only in sports but also other fields like tourism and economy. This perception has to be removed and we all have to play a role in that,” Faisal Hasnain said.

Faisal Hasnain also revealed that when he was working in ICC, some negative reports about Pakistan were displayed on ICC notice boards. He also believes that negative reporting is affecting Pakistan’s overseas reputation.

“Negative reporting is only impacting Pakistan’s overseas reputation. When I was in ICC, there were certain articles about Pakistan cricket that used to be put on ICC notice boards, and it was pointed out that this was an issue in this country.

“Things like ‘it’s a dangerous country, there are electricity problems in Pakistan, crowds are not in the stadiums, players can’t get out from their hotel rooms’. All of this is going to negatively impact the teams,” the new PCB CEO further said.
