LAHORE: Test cricketer Ahmed Shehzad has levelled serious allegations against wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Haris for getting selected for the national side.
Speaking to a private news channel, Ahmed Shehzad accused Mohammad Haris of ‘running’ a campaign to get his place back in the national side.
“Muhammad Haris hired a PR Team that ran a campaign on social media and demanded his inclusion in the national side,” Ahmed Shehzad added.
He said that Haris has not performed well in domestic cricket and has only scored a ‘few’ runs in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine.
“Mohammad Haris scored just one fifty in the PSL 9,” Ahmed Shehzad added and asked why Haris should be selected for the team despite his ‘poor’ performance.
He also criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for ‘ignoring’ deserving players who have been performing well in domestic cricket for the past 10 years.
“What should the players, who don’t have money to run a campaign, do?” he asked.
It is pertinent to mention here that Mohammad Haris was not included in the squad announced for the upcoming series against Ireland and England.
