Searching for their names in the squads announced, cannot find them. It is confirmed they will not feature in their domestic tournament even though Babar Azam’s dad claimed his son will play the national T20 cup.
The excuse apparently is that they need to ‘rest’. Well the same excuse should then apply for Imam ul Haq and Tayyab Tahir who are also part of the NZ tour ODI squad. The team departs for the tour after the 21st of March, by then all of the group stage games of the tournament will be completed. There is no excuse not to play?!
Let me also remind you, the same Mohammad Rizwan who claims to want a rest had no issue flying out after a game v NZ in 2022 the same night to play a BPL match the very next day. How is it that he wants a rest from the National T20 cup now? Is it because his pride and ego doesn’t allow him to play the tournament?
