Pakistan cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has openly criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following the national team’s disappointing performance in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. As PCB said, the Pakistan cricket team needs big surgery after its early exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Ahmed Shehzad Urges PCB To Take Action
Ahmed Shehzad demanded accountability and questioned why the promised “big surgery” by the PCB Chairman had not yet begun. He urged the PCB to take action against the players involved in internal issues and accused them of caring more about league contracts than representing Pakistan.
Ahmed Shahzad further explained that, according to the report submitted by the manager and head coach, why has action not been taken against the players yet? These players are less interested in playing for Pakistan and only care about league contracts.
We refused the contracts of various leagues to play domestic cricket in Pakistan but these players had no shame and asked for permission to play the leagues after a bad World Cup. Shameful act and PCB should ensure that players involved in grouping are removed from the team. These players should have apologized to the nation, but they have no remorse and do not care about the feelings of the fans.
Ahmed Shehzad’s Criticism Of Mohammad Rizwan
The opening batter also criticized wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan for invoking religion following his recent remarks on Islam during a press conference. Ahmed Shehzad questioned Rizwan, asking which religion advocates for players to falsify their fitness statuses and engage in theatrics on the field.
Talking about Mohammad Rizwan, Ahmed Shehzad said:
It is really disappointing that some players are hiding their poor performance in the World Cup by holding unnecessary press conferences and playing the religion card. Where does religion go when they lie about their fitness and when they admit they were acting on the field? Does religion teach you to deceive others and lie in the field?
You are paid to perform on the field, and you join the team instead. Religion teaches us to fulfill our responsibilities with full determination and not to lie about our suffering. Some spokespeople for these players want them to be given another chance, but why?
This is the Pakistan team, and it is not their home team where they can play. If they want another chance, they can make their own team and play with their friends, but not for the Pakistan cricket team anymore.
Demand for Action Ahmed Shehzad also criticized certain Pakistan players for ridiculing the PCB Chairman’s statement about a major overhaul in the national team after the disappointing T20 World Cup campaign. We will not let PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi forget to do the big surgery he promised.
To sum up, Ahmed Shehzad further said that some players of the Pakistani team are now even mocking the chairman’s statement because they don’t care. But we will make sure that fans get their answers and action is taken against these players. We have taken a stand, and we will not back down until this Pakistan team is back on the right track.
