New Delhi, It is common to have ruckus in the Pakistan cricket team. This time the reason for the uproar is the decision of the Pakistan Cricket Board which surprised many former cricketers. In fact, for the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan, Pakistan Babar AzamRested players like Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and handed over the command of the team to Shadab Khan, after which former captain Rashid Latif is not happy at all. Latif has called it the death of Pakistan cricket. Talking to Cricket Pakistan, Rashid Latif said, ‘Our players are coming in the ICC rankings. He is also winning the awards after a long time. Babar and Shaheen won ICC awards which PCB is not able to digest. He said that we will not let all this happen and that is why he took such decisions. Those people who never take rest and have become 70-80 years old, they need rest. Now he is deciding the future of Pakistan cricket. You can say that Pakistan cricket is dead. Now our team is in Rest in Peace.
Why did Rashid Latif say this?
Rashid Latif also explained the reason for his statement. Latif said, ‘When you bring new players into the team, you spoil the team combination. If some of the newly selected players perform well in the Afghanistan series, will they bring senior players with low strike rates. Even the media will not put pressure on them. This is the first step to destroy the Pakistani team.
Many big players rested in Afghanistan series

For this series, Pakistan has not given players like Mohammad Rizwan, Captain Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf a chance in the squad. The great thing is that the PCB did not even talk to anyone while taking this decision. Even Shadab Khan, who became the captain of the T20 team, was not aware that he was handling the command of the team.
