Hasan Ali Criticizes PCB Over Saim Ayub's VVIP Treatment
The debate surrounding favoritism in the Pakistani cricket team has sparked a wider conversation about the need for transparency and accountability in the PCB's decision-making processes, with Hasan Ali's comments bringing attention to the importance of fair treatment for all players.

Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali has accused the Pakistan Cricket Board of favoritism, questioning the special treatment given to star batter Saim Ayub for his injury, while other players have not received similar support in the past.
Hasan Ali, who has also suffered injuries in the past, claims that the board did not provide him with the same support, citing his own experience of suffering a long-term back injury without receiving similar treatment. He expressed frustration with the PCB's inconsistent treatment of injured players, asking if he was not part of the team in 2020 or playing for India.
The controversy surrounding Saim Ayub's injury has sparked a debate about favoritism in the Pakistani cricket team, with former Australia captain Ricky Ponting praising Ayub as a "high-quality" player. However, Hasan Ali's comments have raised concerns about the PCB's treatment of injured players, with the pacer hoping that Ayub returns to action soon but fearing that if he gets injured again, he may not receive the same treatment.
The PCB's handling of Ayub's injury has been questioned, with Hasan Ali pointing out that he did not receive the same treatment when he got injured in 2020. The pacer argues that the PCB is giving Ayub a "VVIP treatment" and that other players will not receive the same treatment if they get injured in the future, highlighting the need for fair and consistent treatment of injured players.
The controversy has highlighted the need for the PCB to review its policies and procedures for handling injured players, ensuring that all players receive fair and consistent treatment, regardless of their position or status in the team.
