<p>Pakistan suffered yet another away series defeat as New Zealand thrashed them 2-0 to complete a whitewash. The Kiwis won the second Test by an innings and 176 runs to inflict yet another heavy defeat to Pakistan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar, who had earlier taken a jibe at the team for playing 'School Level Cricket', ripped into the Mohammad Rizwan-led side as he said if Pakistan continue&nbsp;to play such cricket then other teams will stop visiting inviting them for Test matches.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Akhtar has been pretty vocal about Pakistan and world cricket, and after the crushing defeat in Christchurch, the Rawalpindi Express questioned the defensive mind-set of the team while further asking who will take accountability for the team selection.</p>

<p>"Pakistan team will always perform badly when they travel abroad. They will get exposed. The question is if the Cricket Board or the media is responsible for Pakistan team's demolition? Or our selection? Or the mindset that has been going on since 2005 of playing defensively?," Akhtar said in a YouTube video.</p>

World might stop inviting Pakistan for Test matches: Shoaib Akhtar after 2-0 whitewash against New Zealand

<p>Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has lashed out at Pakistan cricket team after their shock defeat to Zimbabwe in Super Over in Rawalpindi as the three-match ODI series ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts. Terming the defeat as “embarrassing”, Akhtar said that Pakistan cricket will have to be progressive if they want to avoid becoming history while adding the Babar Azam-led outfit was not “expressive”.</p>

<p>After a tied-game, Blessing Muzarabani conceded just two runs off his four deliveries as he scalped two wickets to end Pakistan’s innings in the Super Over. Zimbabwe took just three deliveries to complete the task and end the ODI series on a winning note.</p>

<p>"Embarrassing. Losing to Zimbabwe is an issue. You lose some, you win some however you have to be progressive. We weren’t expressive. Change your mentality before you become history," Akhtar tweeted.</p>
