Former Pakistan seamer Tanvir Ahmed believes batsmen Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub and Fakhar Zaman must be in the T20I team all the time.
Ayub and Zaman are being picked regularly right now, but Azam and Rizwan have been absent for Pakistan’s last couple of T20I assignments.
The duo were not selected for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand and the three-match T20I series against Bangladesh.
Considering how many runs Azam and Rizwan have scored over the years in the shortest format, Tanvir asked why the selectors are overlooking them.
“Don’t even think about T20 cricket without Babar Azam, Rizwan, Saim and Fakhar,” he said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Pakistan won their T20I series against Bangladesh 3-0.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh T20I Series: Salman Ali Agha (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Abbas Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Muhammad Irfan Khan, Naseem Shah, Sahibzada Farhan (wicketkeeper) and Saim Ayub
