Pakistan Team has been out of the Champions Trophy where they have faced widespread criticism. Pakistan fought with the ICC to host the venue of the Champions Trophy 2025 and they were granted a hybrid model. While India refused to travel to Pakistan due to security reasons and political conditions. Pakistan played, their first match against New Zealand and lost the match eventually and travelled to Dubai to face their arch-rivals India. India beat Pakistan and within 4 days of its inauguration, Pakistan was out of the Champions Trophy. 

Having a mere chance but Pakistan match itself, was white washed against Bangladesh and both team setteled with single points. That raised various question on PCB their player managment their, staffs and most importantly the coach Aquib Javed.

Big players were under the radar.

It was noticed that Pakistan's team were under serious pressure, even their main players took the late acceleration. It has been said that when Babar and Rizwan play together run rate drops quickly. Even their bowling department had not worked out where Shaheen Afridi their premier bowler was leaking runs which mount up the pressure on, the team. Upon all this when their journey finished PCB tried to revamp everything from their system. As earlier they excluded Gary Kiersten and Gasom Gellispe too. Then they acquired Aquib Javed and under his guidance, they won the test series. 

After Champions Trophy everything was lost, Now Pakistan is ready with their next assignment of New Zealand series where they are going to play 5 t20 and 3 Odi international matches.  There have been lots of changes where Babar has been removed from T20s and added in ODI and Salman Ali Aga has given a chance to lead the team with Shadab Khan as vice captain of the team. 

Pakistan T20I squad: Hasan Nawaz, Omair Yousuf, Mohammad Haris, Abdul Samad, Salman Agha (capt), Irfan Niazi, Khushdil Shah, Shadab Khan, Abbas Afridi, Jahandad Khan, Mohammad Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Sufiyaan Muqeem, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Khan

Basit Ali unimpressed by the selection

Former Pakistan player Basit Ali is clearly unimpressed with the team selection stating that deserving candidates still didn't get chance. In his You Tube channel he went on saying what type of selection is this, Where is Saud Shakeel your highest run scorer in Pakistan India game, now his name suddenly gone He has claimed that deserving players had been sidelined while others secured their places through backdoor channels. 

The selectors have chosen most of the CT squad you removed Babar in T20 and included him Odi was quite Ok, He went on to ask Where is Mohammad Hasnain, who is your next big fast bowler, not in the squad? He has proven his ability, yet he is ignored in both formats and he didn't get a chance in CT either. What kind of injustice is this to a young, talented player? It's like they are circulating these 3-4 players and making a team which is not good for the future of Pakistan Cricket.
