Former Pakistan’s fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for squad selection for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022.
After the T20 World Cup roster was revealed, the star cricketer sharply criticized chief selector Mohammad Wasim and head coach Saqlain Mushtaq in a video message.
Aap sab kay dil ki awaz, Iftikhar remains in the team, so does Khushdil.
Wah selector sb, kya selection ki hai.

By declaring that “average people prefer average people,” the speedster began by disparaging the main selector. Akhtar expressed his concern that Pakistan would be eliminated from the T20 World Cup early.
With this team, we might be out in the first round. We have no depth in our batting, which makes me quite nervous. “When the main selector is average, his decisions would likewise be average,” he continued after identifying Iftikhar Ahmed as Misbah Ul Haq part 2.
Shoaib Akhtar continued by stating that despite numerous reminders to start with Fakhar Zaman, captain Babar Azam “wouldn’t leave his place as an opener.”
Pakistan’s team for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Australia 2022, which will take place from October 16 to November 13, was named by Chief Selector Mohammad Waseem on Thursday.
In the 15-player World Cup squad, top-order batter Shan Masood has been included in the side for the shortest format for the first-time along with fast bowlers Mohammad Wasim Junior and Shaheen Shah Afridi, while Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris and Shahnawaz Dahani have been named as the three traveling reserves.
