Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar expressed his disappointment on the country's selection committee over the squad picked for the T20 World Cup 2022.

Pakistan on Thursday announced their team for the upcoming mega event that is slated to take place in October-November in Australia.

The side will be led by Babar Azam, while Shadab Khan will be his deputy. The Pakistan squad for the world event looks quite similar to the one that competed in the recently-concluded Asia Cup.

Lashing out at the selectors, Akhtar said that the middle order of Pakistan's batting doesn't have depth. He fears that the team might even fail to advance to the semi-finals in Australia. "Iss middle order ke sath Pakistan kahin pehle round se bahar na ho jaye.
