The last match of the three-Test series against England will be played in Karachi for which Shahid Afridi has advised the team management.
After 22 years of losing a Test series against England on home soil, Pakistan have a last chance to win the Karachi Test to avoid the whitewash and save their reputation. Former captain Shahid Afridi has advised the team management to make changes in the team for this match.
Talking to a private TV channel, Shahid Khan Afridi has said that Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shan Masood should get a chance in the Karachi Test, while wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan Ahmed needs to be rested.
The former all-rounder said Rizwan wanted his role as an opener. Opened against England on his own wish. My advice to Mohammad Rizwan is to give someone else a chance and relax. In the third and final Test match in Karachi, former Test captain and wicket-keeper batsman Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shan Masood, who performed well in England, should get a chance.
He advised to include the young fast bowler Muhammad Hasnain in the final XI of the Karachi Test.
Shahid Afridi described Test captain Babar Azam’s performance against England as satisfactory and said that leadership is the name of taking everyone together. The captain should consult the players in the team instead of taking advice from outsiders.
He said that the question of Pakistani batting failure against England should be asked to batting coach Mohammad Yousuf.
The former captain added that all the players in the Pakistan squad are strong. The National Selection Committee should use them in the right place. A player who is not performing, plays domestic cricket. If you perform well, there is a chance to return to the national team.
