The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to rest Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah in the remaining games of the England series, and former all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi supported this decision on Monday.
“Resting the senior players paved the way for the youngster to get the opportunity to represent,” Afridi stated in his statement.
“This choice will contribute to building a strong bench going forward,” he declared.
PCB explains why it dropped Babar Azam and other players. –
The PCB revealed a few days ago the rationale behind the exclusion of prominent players, including Babar Azam, from the current red-ball series against England.
