Moin Khan calls for rebuilding Pakistan team post Champions Trophy
What's the story
Former Pakistan cricket captain, Moin Khan, has demanded a complete overhaul of the national team. This comes after their dismal showing in the home Champions Trophy, where they couldn't win a single match.
Khan stressed it's time senior players prove their worth with performances.
He also appealed to fans and ex-players to support this rebuilding process.
Selection process
Khan urges for fair selection and exposure of new players
Khan rejected claims of no quality cricket talent in Pakistan, but emphasized the need for fair selection and exposure of new players.
He slammed the inconsistent policies that favor certain players over others.
"The thing is do we even try to properly and justly give exposure to new players, groom them and encourage them. Our problem is we have different policies for different players," he said, as per The Times of India.
Squad concerns
Khan questions Aamer Jamal's exclusion from the squad
Khan also questioned why Aamer Jamal, whom he described as a dedicated and passionate player, was not included in the squad.
He argued that Jamal was not given a fair chance to develop as a white ball player.
This criticism highlights Khan's concern about the selection process and its impact on emerging talent in Pakistan cricket.
Player recall
Khan criticizes practice of recalling previously criticized players
Khan also slammed the practice of recalling players who had previously been criticized for their selection.
He said that these players are often picked for one format on the basis of their performance in another, a tactic he believes is flawed.
This criticism highlights his demand for a more strategic and fair approach to player selection in Pakistan cricket.
