PCB ANNOUNCED the Pakistan squad for the Asia Cup 2023 and the three-match ODI series against Afghanistan. Shan Masood and Ihsanullah have been dropped from the side. All-rounder Imad Wasim failed to find a place in the team.
Fast-bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf who last played an ODI for Pakistan in July 2021, returned to the team after a gap of two years, and middle-order batter Tayyab Tahir who scored a match-winning century against India A in the Emerging Asia Cup final has also been included in the squad.
Former Pak cricketer, Rashid Latif shared the List-A career stats of Pakistan pacers. However, his list missed out on Shahnawaz Dahani. The pacer was not happy about it and called out Latif and PCB.
“Seems as if Dahani is not a Pakistani pacer,” Shahnawaz Dahani tweeted while sharing his stats and calling out for his omission from the Asia Cup 2023 squad.
He also called out sports journalists for not questioning the authorities and wrote “Not even single journalist or cricket analyst even dared to ask questions or show these stats to selectors.”
