Many major changes have been seen in the Pakistan Cricket Board recently. Pakistan’s white ball team has got a new captain. At the same time, Gary Kirsten has left the post of head coach. Apart from this, PCB has included 25 players in the new central contract. Apart from this, squads have also been selected for the tour of Australia and Zimbabwe. But the name of a star player is missing from both these lists. Actually, this player had opposed the exclusion of Babar Azam from the Test team. Now this player has accepted his mistake.
This Pakistani player bowed before PCB
A big news has come out regarding Pakistan’s left-handed batsman Fakhar Zaman. Fakhar Zaman has reportedly apologized on the show cause notice issued by the PCB for questioning the board’s decision to drop Babar Azam from the second and third Test against England.
Actually, Fakhar Zaman had made a post on social media on Babar being dropped from the team. He had written, the opinion of dropping Babar Azam from the team is quite worrying. India never dropped Virat Kohli in bad times. Between 2020 and 2023, Virat Kohli’s average was 19.33, 28.21 and 26.50. If we are thinking of leaving out our best batsman, it will send a wrong message to the team. This can be stopped by pressing the panic button. We should save our big players.
Fakhar Zaman apologized
A source in the Pakistan Cricket Board told PTI that a committee will soon be formed to look into the response to the show cause notice sent by Fakhar on his tweet on Babar Azam. The source said, ‘Fakhar’s reply is an apology. At the same time, internal discussions between PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, selectors and new captain Mohammad Rizwan have been good for Fakhar. The selectors have asked Fakhar to overcome his knee problem and focus on rehabilitation before the limited overs series to be held in South Africa in December.
Let us tell you, PCB has not given place to Fakhar Zaman in the new central contract. He was included in B category till the last central contract. Along with this, Fakhar Zaman has also missed his place in the Pakistan team. Fakhar Zaman has not been included in the squad for the Australia tour as well as the Zimbabwe tour. But now the news is coming out that after being included in the team for limited overs matches of Africa, he will also be given a place in the list of central contract.
