Former cricket captain and director Muhammad Hafeez has lashed out at the selection committee, alleging that they chose a weak team with big names.

Talking to Express News, Hafeez criticized the current selection committee and said, “The selection committee has tried to strengthen the team by calling the players sitting at home.”

Talking about Babar Azam’s captaincy he said, “Babar was removed from the captaincy for some reason but then made captain again. When Babar was the captain, he was accused of favoring every group.”
