Mohsin naqvi captain mohammad rizwan: The ICC Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan and UAE is now a few days left in the beginning of 2025 and before that there has been another earthquake in Pakistan cricket. There is a dispute about two players in the team that Pakistan has announced regarding the Champions Trophy.
The veterans have questioned the selectors regarding Khushdil Shah and Faheem Ashraf. At the same time, Pakistan Cricket Board President Mohsin Naqvi said that the selection committee will “review” the national team selected for the Champions Trophy. However, he has defended the controversial selection of batsmen Khushdil Shah and Faheem Ashraf.
When Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan came in front of the media on the eve of the Tri -series that started against New Zealand and South Africa, he defended the team and said that there is no need for any change in the Champions Trophy team. In such a situation, the statement of the boss of Pakistan Cricket Board is completely opposite to the captain’s statement.
All teams have time till February 12 to change their team for the ICC tournament. There is speculation that Pakistan will change the champion trophy team by this time limit. 12 Farveer will take off South Africa in the Pakistan Tri -series.
In response to a question, Mohsin Naqvi said, “The selectors have the right to review any team declared. Khushdil Shah and Faheem Ashraf have been included in the team with the right intentions.”
At the same time, Mohammad Rizwan said in a press conference held on Friday, “If we talk about Faheem Ashraf, if you look at his performance in the last two years in List A cricket, then we have average 46. We needed an all -rounder and Faheem Ashraf was the best option for us. ”
Rizwan also supported Khushdil’s selection. The Pakistani captain said, “Their performance is in front of everyone, so there is no need to comment on it.”
The selectors have faced criticism from several former players after Khushdil and Faheem are called back to the Champions Trophy. Both these players have not played any international cricket for a long time.
Faheem, whose batting average is 10 and the bowling average of 47, played the last match for Pakistan in September 2023. At the same time, Khushdil, who has failed to make a single half -century in his 10 ODIs, has not played any match for the team since August 2022.
Mohsin Naqvi has said that he did not interfere in the work of the selectors and whatever he felt was the best for the team, he did it. He said, “Yes, they are now reviewing the team because they have time till February 12 to make changes if they want.”
