Pakistan Cricket Team: The condition of Pakistan cricket team is going from bad to worse. Recently, Pakistan has faced a 2-1 defeat in the 3-match ODI series against Bangladesh, after which everyone is heavily criticizing the Pakistan team. Many former veteran players of Pakistan are teaching their team and board very well. Now former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has strongly criticized the selectors of the Pakistan team.

Shaheen Afridi angry at the selection committee of Pakistan cricket team

Shahid Afridi has given a lot of class to the selection committee of Pakistan team. He said that many big decisions are being taken in the name of surgery. Senior players are being dropped and new players are being given a chance in the team, who do not yet have much experience of playing first class cricket. Shahid Afridi also slammed his son-in-law Shaheen Afridi and said that the selectors do not even know who should be made the captain in which format. Earlier, during the T20 World Cup 2026, Shahid Afridi had criticized Shaheen and talked about dropping him from the team. Now he has raised questions on making Shaheen the captain of the ODI team.

Selection committee deserves criticism – Shahid Afridi

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi said on Pakistan’s poor performance, “You saw the performance in the T20 World Cup 2026 and after that we lost the ODI series against Bangladesh by 2-1. According to me, the selection committee deserves criticism. All the members present in the committee have played a lot of cricket, but despite this they do not know about who should be made the captain in which format.”

Shahid Afridi said on Pakistan’s senior players not getting a chance in the team

After the ODI series defeat against Bangladesh, Shahid Afridi further said, “You have been taking decisions again and again in the name of surgery. You are not giving chances to senior players who actually deserve a place in the team. Even though their T20 performance has not been special, their ODI record has been excellent, but in the name of surgery, experienced players are being dropped from the team despite their excellent ODI performance.

Shahid Afridi said a big thing about inexperienced young player

Afridi further said, “In their place, you are including such young players in the team, who have hardly played a few first class matches. The level of your domestic cricket is also not so good that they are continuously preparing such players who can cement their place in the Pakistan team. This is not a surgery. In fact, there is a need to do surgery in the selection committee.”

Pakistan had to face defeat in the ODI series against Bangladesh

Pakistan recently toured Bangladesh for a 3-match ODI series. All three ODI matches were played at Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. In the first ODI match, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 8 wickets. Whereas in the second ODI, Pakistan made a comeback and defeated Bangladesh by 128 runs using Duck-worth Lewis Method. After this, the third match was decisive. In this match, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 11 runs and won the series 2-1. Batting first after losing the toss in the third ODI, Bangladesh scored 290 runs for 5 wickets. In reply, Pakistan team was reduced to 279 runs. Salman Agha played a century inning of 106 runs for Pakistan. Shaad Masood contributed 38 runs and captain Shaheen Afridi contributed 37 runs, but these players could not lead the team to victory. Pakistan’s top order including Mohammad Rizwan was a complete flop.
