‘Tribute to Pakistan’
After announcing the team for the T20 series against Afghanistan, Pakistan legend Rashid Latif attacked the Pakistan Cricket Board and the selection committee. Rashid Latif came after announcing the team without Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Superstar Shadab Khan will lead Pakistan in the absence of Babar Azam. Many young players are also part of the team.
Rashid Latif said that the current PCB chairman Najam Sethi and his team are destroying Pakistan cricket and he wishes to pay tribute to Pakistan cricket.
Our players are performing well in the ICC rankings. After a long time, they won the ICC awards. Babar and Shaheen are ICC award winners.
But it is difficult for them (PCB) to accept this fact. They feel that we will not allow any of that and that it is up to us to make the decision.
The fate of Pakistan cricket is being decided by the 70 and 80 year olds who have never rested and need to rest. Tributes to Pakistan Cricket. It is now time to say rest in peace to our team,’ reports Cricket Pakistan, quoting Latif.
“When you bring new players into the team, you are breaking the team combination itself. Some of the new players will perform well against Afghanistan, but they will consider the senior players with low strike rates in the later series. The media will also put pressure on them. This is the first step to destroy Pakistan cricket,’ he added.
There are three T20s in the Pakistan-Afghanistan series. The first match of the series will be played on March 24 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan Squad:
Shadab Khan (captain), Abdullah Shafiq, Azam Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Isanullah, Imad Wasim, Muhammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Muhammad Nawaz, Muhammad Wasim Jr., Naseem Shah, Syam Ayyub, Shan Masood, Tayyub Tahir, Zaman Khan.
