Delhi: Former wicketkeeper batsman of Pakistan cricket team Kamran Akmal has expressed serious objections to the selection of the Pakistani team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, saying that the selection committee seems to be stuck in deep differences.
Speaking at the “Score” program of Geo News, Akmal said that the announcement of a 15 -member team for such a delay for the ICC Champions Trophy and then the inclusion of amazing players in the team raises questions.
Kamran, who played 268 matches in international cricket for Pakistan from 2002 to 2017, said that no intention can be doubted. All the players are from Pakistan. However, if you had to keep these players in the Champions Trophy team, then you would have kept them with the team in the last tours, then it would not have been so criticized.
Kamran Akmal further said, “Then you say that players are not interested in playing domestic cricket, when you give” NOC “to the players to play league cricket during the first class tournament and the team based on Bangladesh Premier League If you choose, which player will show interest in playing domestic cricket? ”
Apart from this, 43 -year -old Kamran Akmal, while discussing the possibilities of the Pakistani team in the Champions Trophy, said that as a Pakistani cricketer he wants the Pakistani team to succeed in getting good and positive results in this competition.
Pakistan team for Champions Trophy: Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Aga (Vice -captain), Mohammad Rizwan (Captain), Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasan, Nasim Shah, Shaheen Afridi
