After a million permutations and combinations by the fans and cricket experts, the Pakistan cricket team finally exited the ICC World Cup 2023 after their loss to England recently.

It was a campaign marked by poor leadership, poor individual performances, and controversies. The Pakistani team that came into the World Cup with a lot of expectations, found their campaign getting derailed after a massive loss to India. Post that, it was only a story of disappointments.
