Mohammad Rizwan\u2019s underwhelming performances have drawn harsh criticism from both cricket fans and previous players. Rizwan\u2019s scores in three Tests since his century in the second match against Australia have been 1, 0, 19, 40, 24, and 37. In addition, Pakistan\u2019s previous captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was a member of the team for the two-Test series. Despite this, Sarfaraz Ahmed\u2019s last outing for Pakistan in the longest format was against South Africa more than three years ago.<\/p>\n
Shahid Afridi, a former captain of Pakistan, thinks that Rizwan has to be under some pressure due to his poor performance. \u201cYou have to keep pressure. The more stronger the bench is, the more careful the player will be about his performance. Rizwan hasn\u2019t been performing, and I believe that on tours like this, Sarfaraz coud have been given an opportunity,\u201d Afridi said on Samaa TV.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe biases about cities is going for a long time now. Someone will say, \u2018this guy is from Karachi, or this guy is from Lahore\u2019 (while talking about selection in the team). I don\u2019t think these things should happen. Insaan ke bacche ban jaaye toh behetar hai (behave like a human being),\u201d Afridi further said.<\/p>\n
Afridi stated that the main problem is that politics has infiltrated everything in Pakistan,\u00a0even in times of disaster like floods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
