‘We obviously don’t care about losing that series’: Michael Clarke rips Australian team management after series loss against Pakistan

With the Mohammad Rizwan led Pakistan ODI team handing Australia their first ODI series at home defeat with the world champions losing the series 1-2 on Sunday, the world champions have drawn criticism from former World Cup winner Michael Clarke. Terming Cricket Australia’s decision to rest five players including skipper Pat Cummins, who as per Australian media attended a Cold Play concert in Perth on Sunday, as a non-caring decision, Clarke termed it as wrong.

“I’m just a bit confused, so 11 days between now and the first Test, why can’t the Aussie boys who are part of this Test series play in the one-dayer. They are going to go to training and get flogged. If Australia had won the first two games, then you can understand why they rest their big fish, but it was series on the line. You can’t expect the fans to want and come and watch one-day cricket. We are bagging one-day cricket, no one is turning up, hasn’t got the interest, I wonder why. I feel like we obviously don’t care about losing that series. If you’re not going to care, we’re not going to care,” Clarke said on Big Sports Breakfast Radio Show.
