Pakistan's 124-run defeat to India in the ICC Champions Trophy has been described as "shameful" and "humiliating" by the former greats Imran Khan and Wasim Akram. "Victory and defeat are part of any game but the manner in which we lost to India on Sunday without a fight was verypainful. Despite having a lot of talent, Pakistan will continue to fall behind India in cricket unless our cricket structure is revised," Imran said in a statement.


Former captain Rashid Latif said, "Even if Pakistan had fielded its full 15 players, I don't think the result would have been different."


Former captain Wasim Akram said: "The bitter truth is we are lagging behind them in many ways and we are not producing fearless players. Before every Pak-India match there is a 50-50 chance for either side to win but on Sunday we just gave it away. It was a bad defeat."
