Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced its men’s cricket team for the upcoming Asian Games. This time, the board has taken a very shocking and big decision and has decided to keep the senior and key players of the team out of this big tournament. This team announced for the Asian Games does not include veteran players like Babar Azam, wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan and star fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi. In place of these senior players, PCB has expressed confidence in the youth who have performed brilliantly in domestic cricket.
The command of the team will be in the hands of Sahibzada Farhan In the absence of veteran players, Pakistan Cricket Board has handed over the command of the team to talented batsman Sahibzada Farhan. Farhan has consistently performed well with his bat in the domestic circuit and Pakistan Super League (PSL), as a reward for which he has been given this big responsibility. The board is hopeful that under the captaincy of Farhan, this young brigade will be successful in winning medals for the country in the Asian Games.
The new Pakistani brigade is adorned with young and domestic stars This 15-member team has been completely prepared keeping the youth in mind. Preference has been given in the team to those players who have shown excellent performance in the domestic tournaments of Pakistan in recent times. The selectors believe that a platform like the Asian Games will prove to be a golden opportunity for these young players to make their mark at the international level. The main objective of giving rest to senior players is also to keep them mentally and physically fresh for the upcoming big bilateral series and ICC tournaments.
