Exactly. Well said . I was thinking it for long time.

It's not just batters. The bowlers are being picked based only on PSL performances. Whether it's test or ODI cricket, they need to select based on performances in those formats or keep failing.

Bowlers also.

Now we see Fast bowlers getting selected for the test squad simply because they bowled a 140 + delivery in the PSL.
