Pakistani cricketer Ahmed Shehzad criticised the team’s vice-captain Shadab Khan for his performance in the first T20I against New Zealand and questioned his inclusion in the squad.
In the first T20I against New Zealand, Shadab Khan scored only 3 runs and failed to take any wickets in his two overs.
Speaking on a private TV channel, Ahmed Shehzad asked what performance or merit-based criteria Shadab Khan had met to secure his spot.
“You’re talking about Shadab, tell me, what performance has he put up? Who brought him into the team? Let this series pass, the PCB has a different plan, and Shadab has been included in the team for a specific purpose,” Ahmed Shehzad added
Regarding rumors of Shadab Khan becoming the next captain, Ahmed Shehzad said that the 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 it’s just the first T20I. Let’s see what happens next.”
