Former Pakistan batsman Faisal Iqbal has lashed out at ex-captain Misbah-ul-Haq’s son Faham-ul-Haq for his “constant failures”.

Faisal noted that Faham had a very disappointing campaign in the Asian Cricket Council Under-19s Asia Cup as he scored 66 runs in four matches for the Pakistan Under-19 team at an average of 33.

The 19-year-old also took three wickets at an average of 25.

Faisal pointed out that it is “shameful” Faham is continuing to get opportunities despite not having lived up to expectations.

“Disappointing performance throughout the tournament by Misbah’s son, not surprised he was given chances by the head coach even after constant failures. Shameful!” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
