Champions Trophy: Latif Terms Pakistan's Squad A 'political Selection'; Tanveer Says It Is A "joke"
Pakistan Cricket Board: Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has called the squad picked for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 as "a political selection" and played the national selection committee for making a few surprise decisions. In the squad announced on Friday, all-rounder Faheem Ashraf staged a comeback after two years on the sidelines. He was surprisingly included at the last minute with his picture meeting former prime minister Nawaz Sharif - although it is an old picture - highlighted as the route to his comeback.
"It seems a political selection," alleged the outspoken Latif while speaking to Telecomeasia.net. "Faheem has no recent performance to warrant a selection and nor is his record impressive."
Once a prime candidate for the white-ball team, Ashraf's performance went down and his ODI record shows it. In 34 ODIs he has 26 wickets at an average of 46.30 and in 24 innings he batted his average is 10.66 with a highest of 28.
