Of all our pundits, those from ptv sports are the ones that most infuriate me, especially rashid latif. They never bring up the core issue of inapt seniors and their player powers, and chatter on about immaterial stuff. Someone from amongst that lot is yet to question malik's place in the team. Even on the live question/answer session of rashid latif with nauman niaz on youtube, there is conspiracy of silence each time the question is directed at malik's place in the team.
As for Akhtar, the sole purpose of his youtube channel is just to gather indian viewers and subscribers. Just wade through the youtube videos of him, eagerly and overly trying to kowtow to the indians and get in their good books. This guy could care less about what goes on with our team.
Wasim and Waqar, themselves beneficiaries of the same seniority culture will likely not throw stones at other glass houses. They will hype up experience and seniority, contrary as usual to our reasoning, whilst unfairly making youngsters their scapegoats.
No wonder why guys like malik can pull off an all-nighter at a cafe with friends, ahead of their match with their arch rivals the very next morning: they know that experience and seniority will always come for their rescue, again and again and again.
