Naseem Shah's Selection Sparks Debate
The selection of Naseem Shah has raised concerns about the team's preparation and the criteria used for selection, with some arguing that it may have been influenced by external factors rather than purely based on performance.
Former Pakistan pacer Tanvir Ahmed has raised concerns over the selection of fast bowler Naseem Shah for the national team, citing his poor performance in the PSL 10 and fitness issues as reasons that should have excluded him from the team.
Tanvir Ahmed's criticism stems from Naseem Shah's recent performance in the Pakistan Super League, where he struggled with fitness issues and injuries. Despite this, Naseem Shah was selected for the national team, sparking debate about the merit behind his inclusion. Tanvir suggests that Naseem Shah's association with Islamabad United, a PSL franchise, may have played a role in his selection.
The decision to select Naseem Shah has also raised questions about the overlooking of other in-form bowlers, such as Mir Hamza and Abbas Afridi. These bowlers have performed strongly in the domestic circuit and PSL, leading many to wonder why they were not considered for the national team. Tanvir Ahmed's comments highlight the need for transparency and fairness in the selection process.
The controversy surrounding Naseem Shah's selection has sparked a wider debate about the state of Pakistan's cricket team and the selection process. As the team prepares for upcoming matches, the decision to include Naseem Shah will be closely watched, and his performance will be under scrutiny.
