Though Pakistan provides the cricketers with opportunities to earn enormous money, fame and other incentives, apparently the players are not loyal to their motherland as they served only their own interests.
A Pakistani newspaper on Tuesday reported that the Pakistani players are busy in internal politics and grouping to let down each other instead of being a unit to make their nation pride.
 Pakistan cricket fans who have been desperately waiting for Pak-Indo contest and were confident of the victory of green shirts against the archrival, as they ever do, but in the meantime senior players were busy in nasty business of letting each other down.
According the newspaper, senior Pakistani players flamboyant Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Abdul Razzaq and Muhammad Hafeez are running their own groups and have some support within the team.
The paper said that Muhammad Hafeez is focusing on how to save his captaincy while Afridi and Shoib Malik want captaincy. They are supported by Umar Gul and Nasir Jamshed, Muhammd Sami and Asad Shafique, Imran Nazir and Sohail Tanvir respectively.
The newspaper claimed that Abdul Razzaq is also angry over the team management for not including him in the playing eleven.
It said that the internal differences between the senior players led to humiliating defeat against India which eventually let down Pakistanis.
The paper further claimed that Pakistani coach David Whattmore has also threatened to resign due to meddling of management in the team affairs.
 The report also claimed that the players exchanged bitter words after a match against South Africa. The report corroborates the impression that the players, most of them less educated and not able to get an ordinary job, earn money and fame by representing the motherland in national cricket team are not willing to pay back by putting their best efforts.
