PCB management probably deserve this category.
Error .
Unfortunately nepotism and corruption runs deep in every institution. There is no long-term planning.
Excellent post.
Just proves again that giving too much or unlimited power to one individual is never good in our society. It goes to their head.
Thanks
It was a stupid move on his part, but pcb are also being unfair here.
So Aamir “Ben Stokes” Jamal’s career is over because he supported Imran Khan.
As much as I like Imran Khan and Aamir Jamal, the latter lost his contract because he lost his pace.
He can only be useful as a bowler on a green top Test wicket in England and NZ. There he has utility as a bowler and number 8 batsman. Otherwise, he is useless and is only in the squad because of connections.
What’s more comical is the person who claims to be the most professional in his approach and loves to pick out mistakes in others….when given the opportunity to show his professionalism does a major bongi by picking a seasoned opener and batting him at 7.
You know what that means?Your Test Captain is in category D?
They messed up CT25 squad so much. Just before the Tri Series. Kamran accidently played in middle order and delivered vs South Africa. His attacking nature actually suited risk play.
Shahibzada Farhan deserves justice. He has had an unreal psl season and a stellar start to his t20 career(in 2025, the previous additions at no 7 and Aus dont count)

What’s the point of this post?
So Aamir “Ben Stokes” Jamal’s career is over because he supported Imran Khan.
The point of the post is that his exclusion has nothing to do with his support for the traitor Imran Khan. There isn’t a shred of evidence, it’s just an assumption that I don’t believe in.
Okay. Could’ve said that instead of stating the obvious that he’s been dropped - something that everyone already knew.
Why do you always involve politics faheem is obviously picked because mike hesson has always wanted him in the team.
I repeat — there is no evidence, just assumptions.
By having a player like Rizwan in Cat A,
How would there ever be evidence of a thing like that? Just like there’s no “evidence” of why Fakhar was omitted from the team for voicing his opinion in front of the PCB.
Weird logic.
Fakhar’s removal was completely justified as he let his account get utilized by Saya mafia. You are under contract and cannot run your mouth on social media. Had Fakhar not been such a vital player he prolly would have been punished much worse.
Honestly I don’t think it’s the 804 thing.
Here comes the Saya Chat GPT…
You’ll find the answers in my earlier post. The focus should be on what works for Pakistan cricket and what the team needs right now, not on what others are doing. And bringing in comparisons with the corporate world makes no sense, sports, especially cricket, operate in a completely different environment. That argument doesn’t really hold any weight here.
If the likes of Kohli and Sharma have been given the boot, not sure how many on the list continue to get contracts and play for Pak.
Yeah it is rather embarrassing. I also agree with you punishing players isn’t going to do anything. We have this weird concept that we can punish or shame cricketers into performing and winning lol. That doesn’t work. Really in sports, the goal is to keep confidence high, pressure low in order to get the best out of your sportsmen. Maybe it doesn’t feel fair when compared to the corporate world, but that’s sport. The constant chopping and changing bringing back retired cricketers, endless experimentation, forgoing fitness requirements, weird army fitness camps, giving captaincy back to Babar due to some hype generated in PSL/fan base, board has run Pakistan cricket terribly last few years. More like an emotional fan really.
Exactly, brother. My point was never about your favourite player or mine. The point is simple: the board is making decisions and punishing players as if they’re all saints who’ve never done anything wrong. They're hell bent on punishing players no matter what and that’s not going to work.
@heddie19 and still believe its a conspiracy against greatest batsman ever born. I think babar azam and heddie’s career about to end .2025 will be the year of Babar Azam
Your posts simply don’t make sense, just like that ridiculous corporate world example you gave earlier and now this one. Five Test matches outside Asia is nowhere near enough of a sample size. If a player is averaging 50 after 19 Tests, it clearly shows he has performed in almost half of his matches which is already a very impressive start. Nearly every Pakistani player struggles overseas early in their career, and it’s only natural that they improve with time.
Exactly! How on earth is Shadab getting a promotion? It’s absolutely laughable and sad at the same time. Decisions like these only highlight how poor PCB’s judgment has become.
The only person making dumb statements is you, because you want to pass something as a “fact” even though it is just an assumption. It is just a theory.
You had no issue when Rizwan was made category A whilst not even being fit to play one format lol
Actually 11 wickets in his last 20 T20I games...

Absolutely and also Shadab has no plans to play test cricket. His focus is only on T20s and leagues. He should be in maximum D category. Unfortunately PCB is wasting money on many players in Category B & C who are not going to add any value to Pakistan cricket
