Shahid Afridi Criticizes Pakistan Selectors After Bangladesh ODI Series Defeat

Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi criticized the national selectors following Pakistan's 2-1 ODI series loss to Bangladesh, blaming their decision to drop experienced players like Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman based on T20 World Cup performances. Afridi argued that the selectors relied too heavily on inexperienced domestic players, whose standards he questioned, and questioned the choice of Shaheen Afridi as ODI captain. Meanwhile, senior selector Aaqib Javed stated that injuries to senior players were reported post-World Cup, prompting a PCB inquiry.
