Basit Ali Alleges 'backdoor Entries' In Pakistan’s Squad Selection For NZ Tour
The Pakistan Cricket Board: Former cricketer Basit Ali has strongly criticised Pakistan’s team selection for the upcoming white-ball series against New Zealand, alleging favouritism and unjust exclusions. He claimed that deserving players had been sidelined while others secured their places through "backdoor channels".
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently announced major changes to the T20I squad, with Salman Ali Agha replacing Mohammad Rizwan as captain. All-rounder Shadab Khan, who was recalled to the side, was named vice-captain. However, Rizwan has been retained as ODI captain, while Babar Azam, despite being dropped from the T20I squad, remains in the one-day setup. The selectors also chose to retain most players who struggled in the ICC Champions Trophy.
Among the notable exclusions are Saud Shakeel, who played a crucial 64-run innings against India in Pakistan’s last match, and fast bowler Mohammad Hasnain, who did not feature in a single Champions Trophy game but was still left out of the squad.
