The Pakistan Cricket Board has decided to organize the Champions League this year. This will be Pakistan's domestic cricket tournament, which will be played in Faisalabad from 12 to 29 September. Pakistan's top 150 cricketers will be seen playing in this tournament. For this, the Pakistan Cricket Board has divided the players into 5 teams. A mentor has also been appointed for each team by the Pakistan Cricket Board. Even before the start of this tournament, a veteran player has expressed his anger on the PCB.
Allegations of injustice and bias
Ahmed Shahzad, an experienced batsman playing for the Pakistan team, on Friday expressed his anger against the Pakistan Cricket Board on the social media platform X. With this, he withdrew his name for the Champions Cup to be held next month. Ahmed Shahzad accused the PCB of injustice and bias. Ahmed Shahzad played his last T20 match for Pakistan in 2019. Since then he has been out of the team.
What did Ahmed Shahzad say?
Ahmed Shahzad, while withdrawing his name from the Champions Cup, wrote on the social media platform X that he has decided with a heavy heart that he will not play domestic cricket in the Champions Cup. Pakistan Cricket Board's bias, false promises and injustice towards domestic cricket are completely unacceptable. At a time when Pakistan is struggling with inflation, poverty and huge electricity bills. Pakistan Cricket Board is wasting Rs 50 lakh on mentors who do nothing.
The current team is rewarding those failed players who have brought Pakistan cricket to the lowest level. Ahmed Shahzad further said that the Pakistan Cricket Board claims that they do not have the equipment to do surgery on the cricket team i.e. a pool of players to replace them. This is a huge insult to the players playing domestic cricket. Being a Pakistani cricketer, he cannot support such a system.
