Interim chief selector Shahid Afridi said the previous selection committee should have made it clear to senior Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik if he was no longer part of their plans.
Afridi slammed the lack of communication, especially considering how experienced Malik is.
Furthermore, despite being 40 years old, he has still been one of the most solid performers in domestic T20 cricket.
“The selectors should have communicated with him if he wasn’t a part of their plans,” Afridi told Samaa News as quoted by Cricwick.
