Tanvir Ahmed slams selectors for ignoring Sahibzada Farhan\u2019s PSL & domestic heroics, accuses them of \u2018fabricating excuses\u2019. Also hits out at Shadab Khan\u2019s \u2018franchise fireworks but int\u2019l failures –\u00a0 ScreenGrab<\/p>\n
Former Pakistan fast bowler Tanvir Ahmed has criticised the national selectors for overlooking Sahibzada Farhan despite consistent performances in domestic cricket and the Pakistan Super League (PSL). <\/p>\n
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Tanvir hailed Farhan\u2019s recent form, stating, “He is playing outstanding cricket \u2014 amazing, in fact. He has scored three centuries in domestic cricket, including a triple hundred, and now his first PSL hundred. His consistency is remarkable, and he is in excellent touch.”<\/p>\n
Ahmed aimed at the national selectors, accusing them of unjustly labelling players as problematic to justify their exclusion. <\/p>\n
“If you don\u2019t like a player, fine, but don\u2019t fabricate excuses \u2014 claiming he has attitude problems, arrives late to training, or doesn\u2019t train properly,” he said. <\/p>\n
“This is a recurring issue in our cricket culture. When selectors can\u2019t drop a player based on performance, they resort to questioning his attitude.”<\/p>\n
The former pacer urged selectors to set aside personal biases and give Farhan a fair chance. <\/p>\n
“Even if you don\u2019t like him, swallow the bitter pill. Select him for the national team and let him prove himself,” he argued. <\/p>\n
“Farhan is excelling domestically \u2014 his starts are strong and he\u2019s performing under pressure.”<\/p>\n
Ahmed also directed criticism at Shadab Khan, accusing him of misleading fans by showcasing his all-round abilities only in league cricket. <\/p>\n
The former cricketer expressed frustration over Shadab\u2019s recurring shortcomings at the international level.<\/p>\n
“Shadab fools everyone by batting at No. 4 in the PSL, hitting a few sixes, and taking a couple of wickets,” he said. <\/p>\n
“He claims to be the world\u2019s leading spin-bowling all-rounder, but in international cricket, he repeatedly fails and gets exposed. <\/p>\n
“He performs in franchise leagues but struggles when representing Pakistan. His PSL exploits don\u2019t translate to national success,” he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tanvir Ahmed slams selectors for ignoring Sahibzada Farhan\u2019s PSL & domestic heroics, accuses them of \u2018fabricating excuses\u2019.
