How can Mustaq Ahmed make Pakistan's Problems worse?

Pakistan cricket is going through a tough period, the two matches that have been played as warm up matches have been terrible for the team. That may just be the start because the problems could get worse.

The legendary spinner, Mushtaq Ahmed who was once the back bone of Pakistan spin attack has now been hired by the England team as a bowling coach. He has been hired specially for the purpose of T-20 World Cup followed by the Ashes. Sussex county, which Mushtaq represents has also released him for this purpose.

The problem that Pakistan now faces is if and when Mushtaq decides to help England team with not only their spin bowling but also help their batsman to play spin bowling. As a matter of fact, Mushtaq knows Pakistan cricket from in and out and if he does help them play Shahid Afridi and company. It could very well mean that Pakistan looses its competitive advantage.

If at all, the existing problems were not enough. A new problem has just arisen which could very well threaten Pakistan chances in the World T-20.
