From the defeat in Dhaka at the hands of the West Indies in 1998 to yesterday's encounter in Birmingham, the ICC Champions Trophy is a competition that Pakistan have failed in repeatedly. They will not play another encounter in this particular world event as it is being terminated to accommodate a world test championship in a new structure as of 2015. The recent performances in Group B of the ICC Champions Trophy of the side make this arguably Pakistan's worst ever showing in an ICC World event.
They are the only side not to have registered a point from either group. The year of 2013 has been an atrocious one for the side with disastrous results in the test series in South Africa and the ICC Champions Trophy, the two biggest assignments of the year. Pakistan also finished in last position of the Women's World Cup in India back in February. You can expect some interesting developments in the mysterious world that is Pakistan Cricket over the next fortnight as majority of the team and the various officials/backroom staff arrive home to face the disappointed media and fans.
