Out-of-favour Pakistan cricket team batter Ahmed Shehzad has decided not to play the Champions Cup, the nation's 50-over domestic cricket tournament which will kick off in Faisalabad on September 12. While announcing his decision, Shehzad revealed the reason behind it. He lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for "wasting" money on appointing mentors for the tournament at high cost. He also accused the PCB of favouritism, making "false promises and doing injustice to domestic players". "With a heavy heart, I've decided not to play in the Domestic Cricket Champions Cup," wrote Shehzad in a post on X.

"Be Afraid Of God": Ex-Pakistan Star Defends Babar Azam, Takes Swipe At PCB

Former Pakistan pacer Tanveer Ahmed has thrown his weight behind star batter Babar Azam amid criticism over his poor form. Babar managed scores of 0 and 22 in the first Test against Bangladesh, a match which Pakistan lost by 10 wickets. While Babar's last century came on 30th August 2023 against Nepal in Multan during the Asia Cup, the player has been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism, especially with Pakistan failing to win games on home soil. However, Tanveer has defended Babar, and instead lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for making the star batter a scapegoat amid Pakistan's winless streak in the World Test Championship (WTC).
