Sana Mir has raised questions over the exclusion of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan from the T20I side:
“Your main team comes under pressure when you corner players through forced selections,”
“When we suggested that maybe one of them should come in between, that didn’t happen. And then suddenly, both were rested or dropped,”
“Now, the pressure of that decision has shifted onto this team. There’s a need to justify somehow that team selection by proving that they [Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan] are not part of the team because they did not play modern-day cricket, and that these players do. So the entire burden has now fallen on this current team, whether they accept it or not,”
“I have said this before that you cannot disregard such big players. You need to make your selection policy a little more consistent,”
