Shahid Afridi desires to make two Pakistan teams for men’s side
Shahid Afridi, Pakistan’s recently appointed interim chief selector, stated that he wants to form two teams for the men’s national team in order to increase bench strength.
Afridi, a former captain and flashy all-rounder of his period, expressed his desire to put this notion into practise before his term is up in a media interview in Karachi.
During the press conference, Afridi also highlighted a “communication gap” as one of the major issues the Pakistan cricket team is facing, insisting that the chief selector should be in direct contact with individual players to be aware of their positions properly.
Afridi said that when he spoke to Fakhar Zaman and Haris Sohail personally, he got to know a clear picture of the players.
The duo was added to Pakistan’s probable three-match ODI series against New Zealand.
“The major problem that I’ve observed here is the communication gap among management, doctors and the selection committee. It is important for a chief selector – be it me or someone else – to stay in direct contact with players,” he said.
