The selection of Ahmad Shahzad and Umar Amin for a T20 cricket series is beyond any comprehension, logic, absolutely un-professional and highly farcical.
These players, to say the least, are neither the horses for courses nor they fit in the future scheme of things, for the national squad.
If this is the performance level of the most highly paid selectors, in history of cricket in Pakistan, then we can very well imagine what is in store for Pakistan’s cricket in future, under Mr. Najam Sethi, who has proved loud and clear, his poor knowledge of purely technical cricketing issues?
Thus, sadly PCB will remain under him a rudderless ship, bereft of future vision and policies of merit.
Here, mentioning a famous quote as below, will not be out of place.
“Every person rises to his level of incompetence.”
The selected players are: Sarfraz Ahmad (Capt) (Wk), Fakhar Zaman, Ahmed Shehzad, Baber Azam, Shoaib Malik, Umar Amin, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Muhammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Hassan Ali, Amir Yamin, Muhammad Amir, Ruman Raees, Usman Shinwari and Sohail Khan.
