The Pakistani cricket team is set to play a Test series against Sri Lanka starting in July. Former Pakistani cricketer Rashid Latif has questioned the selection panel. According Rashid Latif, management has not adhered to performance criteria.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) selection panel has shown faith in Babar Azam despite the fact that the team failed at critical moments. The Men in Green were unable to assert their dominance against England and New Zealand despite playing on their home conditions.

Pakistan needs someone in the middle order aside to take responsibility. The team is too dependent on captain Babar Azam, which is not a good sign. All eyes would be on Sarfaraz Ahmed as the batsman made a sparkling return to the international arena when he hit a ton against New Zealand in the second Test match in 2023.

It would be interesting to see how Pakistan fare in Sri Lanka, as the toss would help the spinners, giving Sri Lanka a huge advantage. We must not forget that when these two teams faced each other, the series ended in 2022 1-1.

The selection of Shan Masood is not justified – Rashid Latif
Rashid Latif was seen speaking on his YouTube channel and questioned the selection of Shan Masood. Rashid Latif affirmed that the selection panel must give testimony before naming a player in the squad
“If you are using data, that means you have selected Shan after turning off your computer. However, our computer is on. We need evidence when judging someone’s selection. I get no evidence of Shan’s selection. The choice of her is not justified ”, said Rashid Latif.

“There is no doubt that Hassan is a good bowler and he gives his 100 per cent. However, if I look at his recent stats, what justification would he give regarding the selection of him? His choice is debatable. When you are short of spinners for this tour, you could have brought Mehran Mumtaz, just to give him experience.” added.
