Former T20 World Cup winner Ahmed Shehzad has slashed out at Pakistan's pacers selection for the upcoming Ireland and England series.

Hasan Ali
During an appearance on Geo News, Ahmed Shehzad shared his views on Ali's return. Ali, who played his last T20I against Sri Lanka in September 2022, is all set to make a comeback to the shortest format of the game.
Ahmed Shehzad stated that the fast bowler had a good relationship with captain Babar Azam, chief selector Wahab Riaz and also assistant coach Azhar Mahmood which played the catalyst role behind his selection to the team.

"Hasan Ali was going to find his way back in the team because see Azhar Mahmood has come, he likes Hasan Ali a lot. They have a close relation. Wahab Riaz has had a close relationship with Hasan Ali. Even Babar Azam is close with Hasan Ali," Ahmed Shahzad pointed out.

"I am not saying that he has made it to the squad based on that only. However, I am not able to find any performances to justify his place in the team. Even Haris Rauf was injured. Just after recovering, he has been selected. How?," Shahzad continued.

"If you want to do things based on PSL only, like Shadab is a PSL captain, then he should be there, someone is a Lahore Qalandars player, he should be there, someone is a Peshawar Zalmi player, so he should be there. Then, we can stop domestic cricket and just rotate those 35-40 players in Pakistan team," Shahzad concluded.
