‘Release it publicly’: Saqlain Mushtaq challenges ex-PAK selector over alleged recording of him pushing son-in-law Shadab Khan’s selection

Former Pakistan cricket selector Tauseef Khan has been challenged to release an alleged audio recording that claims he pressured Saqlain Mushtaq into selecting his son-in-law, Shadab Khan, in the national team. Saqlain denied the favoritism accusations, stating he called Tauseef out of respect. Shadab Khan's performance in the CPL, including his second T20 hat-trick, has helped him join an elite list of bowlers.

The dispute between Saqlain and Tauseef highlights ongoing allegations of favoritism in Pakistan cricket's selection process, which have become a public issue due to the challenge.
