'Not enough guts': AB de Villiers questions Pak players’ hunger after England rout

Former South African cricket captain AB de Villiers criticized Pakistan's cricket team for lacking the determination and resilience needed to perform well in Test matches, especially under challenging conditions. He pointed out that Pakistan struggled significantly during their recent series against England, losing heavily in the first two Tests and failing to score over 200 runs in any of their four innings. De Villiers suggested that the issue lies not just with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) but also with the players' willingness to put in the effort required for success in Test cricket. He emphasized the importance of mental toughness and character in high-pressure situations, arguing that Pakistan lacks this trait. While acknowledging the PCB's role in the team's instability, de Villiers called for stronger leadership within the squad to set an example for younger players.
