Ranking top 8 international cricket teams based on their sportsmanship

A lot of things can fall under sportsmanship. It is sad to admit that the Pakistan cricket team has landed on the other side of the road. One of the biggest reasons why they have been criticized has been the numerous fixing cases. It happened in the late 1990s, early 2000s, and then the infamous 2010 spot-fixing scandal. 

These types of incidents bring a bad reputation to the brand of cricket a country plays and there is no denying that has happened with Pakistan. A lot of arguments around sportsmanship are also factored in by a team’s general on-field conduct. Let me put it this way, Pakistan has never been profoundly known for having great on-field conduct either.

Sportsmanship is not only limited to the field. Away from the field, the Pakistan team members have had several spats, public altercations, or an outburst directed at a fellow cricketer. These types of incidents don’t make the sport look fine, nor does it help to grow. It also sets the wrong kind of precedent for the young players coming through the ranks.
