'T20 players included for Tests': Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik slam Pakistan selectors over squad selection amid chaos in England tour
Shahid Afridi slammed Pakistan selectors over bizarre squad changes and the sacking of coach Sarfaraz midway through the England tour.
Shahid Afridi and Shoaib Malik have criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for selecting T20 specialists for the Test squad during Pakistan's England tour. Afridi questioned the decision to include T20 players in a Test match in England, while Shoaib Malik called the PCB's decision "ridiculous." Seven players were released from the squad, with only two experienced additions, and head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul were sacked after just five Test matches in charge.
