[VIDS]"If Haris Sohail was from a big city & had an ODI average of 47, would he have been excluded?"
Sources close to Haris Sohail have told PP:
"If Haris was from a big city like Lahore or Karachi and had an average of 47, would he have been excluded?"
"Faisal Iqbal did wrong to him when they had the altercation and disagreement, he left in midseason for the T10 league and nothing happened to him"
"Haris was given a show cause notice and he apologized profusely for his behaviour"
"Haris has even spoken to Babar Azam in detail, and he also has no answer to Haris' exclusion"
"They are saying play in domestic and we can see if Haris is fine but why didn't they let him play in the previous season, things would have been resolved by now if they had allowed Haris to play in the previous domestic season"
"He wasn't even asked to come to the 60 player NHPC camp to prove his fitness if that was the issue"
"They know that they have a problem where the middle-order is struggling and they have a player who is available and they are knowingly ignoring him; This is not the way to run things"
"He was told by Mohammad Wasim via a phone call in England that he was being removed from central contracts so he asked the Chief Selector about the criteria for his dropping as his average in ODIs is nearly 47, they had no answer"
"There seems to be a like/dislike culture in play, and we have seen how the likes of Imad Wasim, Wahab Riaz and Mohammad Amir have been treated"

Some background:
Pakistan’s stylish middle-order batter, Haris Sohail has not participated in competitive cricket since Balochistan’s encounter against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the 10th match of the 2021/22 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
While there was speculation that Haris was ruled out of action after suffering yet another injury, the real story behind his exclusion from the domestic circuit is due to an unsavory incident involving former Balochistan head coach, Faisal Iqbal.
According to sources, Haris and Faisal Iqbal were involved in a physical altercation during the recently concluded Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. The incident was reported to the higher-ups in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) including the chairman, Ramiz Raja.
While Faisal Iqbal was removed from the coaching position soon after, Haris too has not been allowed to take part in any domestic cricket since then. Haris’ inclusion in the next domestic season is still unclear but it is expected that he will be allowed to reintegrate into the set-up.
The 33-year-old has had an inconsistent run in the Pakistan side. Considered one of the most gifted batters in the circuit currently, Haris has been unable to nail down his spot in the national side. A series of injuries, including a knee problem and some bad luck, has resulted in him donning Green Jersey only 72 times.
The batter has showcased his class with the bat in his short international career. He has scored 1,685 runs at an average of 46.80 in ODIs and 847 runs at an average of 32.57 in Test cricket. While his numbers do warrant him a place in the 50-over format, it is likely that his international career has come to an unfortunate end.
