Pakistan cricket is in a state of shock..!? 3 matches cancelled?

With only ten days left for the 2025 Champions Trophy, the pakistan cricket Board is in a state of disarray. The pakistan cricket Board is under heavy pressure as two bad things have happened in quick succession. Initially, pakistan, as the host team of the 2025 Champions Trophy, was expected to advance to the semi-finals this time. However, this time, pakistan became the first team to exit the series within five days of the start of the series. That is, pakistan has exited the group stage. pakistan, who lost to new zealand in the first match of its group stage, then lost to India. The series began on february 19, and the pakistan team faced new zealand in the first match that day and india on the 23rd.
Pakistan has played two matches in these five days and lost both of them and has been eliminated in the group stage. The fact that the host team was eliminated in the first five days itself has put pressure on the pakistan cricket Board. Before this tragedy could end, three matches held in pakistan in the next five days have been abandoned due to rain. This has put a lot of pressure on the pakistan cricket Board, which is hosting an international cricket series after about 29 years. The question has also arisen whether such a series can be held in the future. After all, cricket is the main sport in Pakistan. Although the rain was not in our control, the conditions and drainage facilities were so bad that even if it had stopped, the matches in Pakistan's stadiums were unplayable. The match between australia and south africa and the match between pakistan and bangladesh were abandoned before the toss was even played due to rain. It rained heavily in both of these matches. However, the worst scenes unfolded in the match between afghanistan and Australia.

Afghanistan finished batting in that match and australia chased. After about 62 overs had been bowled in total, the match was abandoned due to half an hour of rain. After about 30 minutes of rain in that match, the ground turned into a pond. This problem would not have arisen if the entire stadium had been covered with tarpaulins. However, when the tarpaulins of the partially covered stadium were removed, water from it pooled on the pitch. Moreover, the drainage facilities in the outfield area of the stadium were very poor. Everyone was shocked to see it. Thus, pakistan, which was eliminated from the series in the first five days, is facing a test as it was unable to play three matches in the next five days due to rain.
