The national selection committee ignored former T20 captain Shahid Afridi along with middle-order batsman Umar Akmal and opener Ahmad Shahzad while selecting a team for the one-off T20I against England.

Pakistan crashed to a 169-run defeat in the third ODI against England, who had earlier amassed a world record total of 444 runs. The loss also meant that England has taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.

Hyder Husain | 8 years ago | Reply Shoaib Malik is not fit to be in any of the three teams. He has no strokes to offer except playing towards third man or fine leg. He can not handle pace bowlers at all. He is a very ordinary bowler.

Naeem Shahzad | 8 years ago | Reply without shahid afridi the match will be bored.shahid afridi must be include in this match.and without shahid afridi lot of people will not watch the match with interesting.

Zee | 8 years ago | Reply @Shaukat: Afridi, is that you ... protesting your exclusion??

Unknown | 8 years ago | Reply There is noway to win match by including players like Shoaib Malik and Tanveer in the team @Shaukat,

        Then you can not watch the T20s for life, as that failure is out of time for good.

Shaukat | 8 years ago | Reply In absence of Afridi i will not watch the t20s. This is the only way i can protest.

Khan | 8 years ago | Reply The odi failure against England falls squarely on the shoulders of Inzi. Why is Junaid khan being ignored?

Nasir | 8 years ago | Reply Selector Izamam seems to have no clue how to select players. Sohail Khan, Hasan Ali and Anwar Ali should have been included and Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz should have been rested.

Muhammad Hussain | 8 years ago | Reply Shoaib malik was not deserve. Afridy should must be announced their retirement yet,why and what he waiting is?

Imtiaz Awan | 8 years ago | Reply Shoaib Malik and Khalid Lateef are tried and tested failures. They should have given chance to so explosive batsmen, guys who can hit and hit hard like Sohain Maqsood and someone else who has performed well on the domestic circuit. Its time to move on from Shoaib malik, khalid lateefs. Give chance to the guys who have performed exceptionally well from the under 19 team.

Fiz | 8 years ago | Reply They can as well hand over the series to England. No need to suffer humiliation.
