Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has expressed surprise over the removal of Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq from the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) selection committee.
Afridi, currently in London for the World Championship of Legends 2024 as part of the Pakistan Champions team, spoke to the media about the recent removal of Abdul Razzaq and Wahab Riaz from the national team selection committee.
Afridi remarked that Babar Azam has been given numerous chances to prove his captaincy skills.
“We have also led Pakistan, but hardly any captain got as many chances as Babar Azam. In the past, after every World Cup, the captain used to be the first one to be sacked,” said Shahid Afridi. “Babar has got ample opportunities, ODI World Cup, Asia Cup, T20 World Cup. I think it is time to take a decision.”
Commenting on the expulsion of Wahab and Razzaq, Afridi stated, “I have come to know about the expulsion of Wahab and Razzaq. To be honest, this kind of surgery is beyond my comprehension. The selection committee was comprised of seven members; why has the surgery been done on only two?”
