In our latest exclusive, Saj catches up with former Pakistan all-rounder, ECB Level 4 coach, and South Africa’s high-performance coach, Yasir Arafat. With a rare perspective coaching elite teams across the world, Yasir offers a deeply insightful take on Pakistan cricket — its decline, its cultural stagnation, and the roadmap for revival. He also contrasts the mindset and structure of Pakistan’s setup with that of South Africa's, shedding light on how hungry the Proteas players are to improve their game.
