Ignored Pakistan Star Introduces His Champions Trophy Replacement In PCB Video, Then Slams Selection

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) got creative while announcing a 15-member squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Pakistan are the defending champions of the tournament, having won the title in 2017 after beating India in a one-sided final. Last week, PCB shared a video in which Pakistan's Class of 2017 announced the current squad. The players who are either retired or did not make the cut announced the names of the new faces in the current squad.

Only the likes of Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf and Faheem Ashraf introduced themselves. Having said that, ut-of-favour batter Ahmad Shahzad took Usman Khan's name in the announcement video, despite criticising his selection later.

Usman, Faheem & Usman make their way back in the team from T20 tournament happening in Bangladesh without playing any ODI cricket in the recent past for the country. Are you guys for real?" Shahzad wrote in a lengthy post.
