THERE WE GO AGAIN.When will PCB realise that T 20 is for youngsters and not for those who are 30 plus.You are just wasting the young talent as usual.What a shame.The senior players should be retired now.
Good job Pakistan Cricket Team,Finally you did something you are good at it;loosing.Thank you for letting me down and my cricket loving kids.
Hammad played a good innings, selectors should trust the talent of players like him and should not give anymore chance to Akmal brothers or players like Sohaib Malik, they have been given lot of opportunities and have consistently failed to deliver. Will anybody take note of the failures of Selection Committee.
Akmal and Malik is playing well. But i am worried about it that how get chance to play for Awaise Zia he is not playing with responsibility.
Why is Shoaib Malik still in he team? He is worthless!
