Pakistani cricketer Ahmed Shehzad criticized the team’s vice -captain Shadab Khan for his performance in the first T20 against New Zealand and questioned his involvement in the squad.
In the first T20 against New Zealand, Shadab Khan scored only 3 runs and failed to take any wickets in his two overs.
Addressing a private TV channel, Ahmed Shehzad asked what Shadab Khan had met with performance or merit -based standards to secure his place.
“You’re talking about Shadab, tell me, what did he do? Who brought it to the team? Let this series go through, PCB has a different project, and Shadab has been added to the team for a specific purpose,” Ahmed Shehzad added.
Regarding the rumors of Shadab Khan’s next captain, Ahmed Shehzad said authorities had sent a young New Zealand team to buy time.
Ahmed Shehzad added, “Such things are being said. We also want to know about these things, but this is just the first T20I. Let’s see what happens next.”
