In a video posted on his official X handle, Ahmad Shahzad threw light on the damage control strategy of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Ahmad Shahzad says in the video, “The condition of Pakistan cricket team is such that PCB needs some names that can stand in front to protect them so that they come in the line of fire.The lower the level of Pakistan cricket teams falls, the higher is the money paid to these people. Even though they have coaching staff, but no disrespect, just like there are maids working at homes and the women of the house point out the dirty areas after a while, the work of the PCB looks the same.”
Pakistan have been struggling through a lean spell of late, bowing out early in this year’s T20 World Cup.
Bangladesh upset a formidable home team with a clinical ten-wicket display in the first Test — their first win in over 14 encounters against Pakistan.
Pakistan’s last Test series was a whitewash in a three-match tour to Australia.
Known for his aggressive batting style, primarily as an opening batsman, Ahmad Shahzad made his debut for Pakistan in 2009 in an ODI and quickly established himself as a key player in the national team, particularly in the limited-overs formats.
But over the years, his form fluctuated, and he faced challenges with consistency and fitness.
The 32-year-old Ahmad Shahzad last played for Pakistan in a T20I in 2019.
