Shehzad slams selectors for ignoring Kamran

Ex-opener questions credibility of Champions Cup, selection process

Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has launched a scathing attack on Pakistan's chief selector Mohammad Yousuf for overlooking Kamran Ghulam in the national squad for the upcoming first Test against England, set to take place in Multan from October 7-11.

Shehzad expressed his frustration on his YouTube channel, accusing Yousuf of disregarding Kamran's impressive performances, including two centuries in the ongoing Champions One-Day Cup.

He also criticized PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi for his comments about a "surgery" in Pakistan cricket following the team's disappointing exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup.

Labeling the Champions One-Day Cup as the "Dhoka Cup" (Fraud Cup), he questioned the credibility of the tournament and the selection process for the national squad.

"Kamran Ghulam has once again been ignored, and Mohammad Yousaf did not include him in Pakistan's 15-member squad. Now let's look back—this is the same team that just returned after losing the World Cup without even qualifying, the same team that lost to the USA, the same team that lost two Tests against Bangladesh, and for the first time in history, got whitewashed," Shehzad said.

"After all these things, it was said that a "surgery" would take place, but it didn't. After all this, they said, "We don't have the tools." Then, after everything, they dropped another bombshell in the name of the "Dhoka Cup [Champions Cup]" and said the performers from this "Dhoka Cup" would be included. Just wait and see—they'll bring in five players and line them up behind each other. You'll see how this AI system work," he added.
